Chapter 478: Plan B (1/2)
A total of four sabers floated before the King. Gravis felt their power and knew that they were powerful enough to destroy his shield. He couldn't underestimate them at all.
Whooosh!
The sabers shot forward and slashed at Gravis. Thankfully, Gravis had a ridiculous amount of experience in evasion and managed to dodge them barely. Their speed was still many times faster than Gravis, and he needed to pre-dodge them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sabers continued circling Gravis and attacking while he just dodged. Yet, he was slowly making his way to the moray eel. When the moray eel saw that, he retreated to keep his distance. Gravis wasn't fast enough to reach him like this.
Some more seconds passed, and the King became more experienced in using the sabers. By now, it became harder and harder for Gravis to dodge.
BZZZZ!
Gravis transformed into lightning to increase his speed. If he continued dodging like this, he would be hit sooner than later. He needed the additional speed of his Lightning Transformation.
BOOOM!
When the King saw Gravis transforming into lightning, he exploded forward with all his speed. Then, he swiped his gigantic tail at him. Gravis realized what he was doing and grew nervous. 'He's trying to extinguish my lightning with his body!'
BOOM!
Gravis transformed back and summoned another shield to block the tail. His shield exploded, and he flew back, right into an incoming saber. If he didn't do anything, he would be sliced in two!
Whoooom!
Gravis activated his Will-Aura and destroyed the will on the saber. He had kept this ability secret until such an opportunity revealed itself. The saber wasn't able to change its trajectory anymore, and Gravis used his right hand to hit the saber on the side of its edge. With this, he managed to push himself out of the way.
CRASH!
The saber hit the tail of the moray eel, burying itself deep into the King's flesh. Sadly, the bone was hard enough to block the saber.
”RAAAH!” the King shouted as he used more of his power to heal his tail. Then, he immediately destroyed the sabers and made them return to mud, which circled him.
BOOOOOM!
The mud exploded and shot at Gravis in a wave. The King immediately realized that Gravis could destroy his control over the mud, so he simply shot it at Gravis as a wave. Like this, Gravis needed to deal with it directly.
Gravis summoned his shield and destroyed the will on the mud wave.
CRRRRR!
He blocked the mud wave with his shield.
BOOOM!
Yet, some thin but powerful thing hit his shield, destroying it instantly. The eel had transformed his body to be as thin as possible and rammed the shield with his head. All his power was concentrated on the attack, and the shield wouldn't stop him! His head would penetrate the shield and then destroy Gravis behind it!
Yet, due to the Formation Arrays on the shield, Gravis shot away faster than the eel moved. Sadly, this attack had all of the King's power behind it, and Gravis' arms exploded into a mist of blood. Additionally, the impact injured his organs severely, making blood flow out of Gravis' mouth and nose.
BANG!
Gravis used one of his legs and kicked to the side, hitting another thin appendage of the eel. The eel had morphed his body into a thin amalgamation with lots of tentacles. Lightning exploded out of Gravis' foot as he used up his last reserves. His leg got destroyed in the process, but he managed to shoot himself out of the way of a second tentacle charging at him.
BZZZZ!
Gravis had no other choice and had to transform into lightning again. Yet, he had used up so much of his power that he would barely be able to remain in the fourth level. All his powers were already nearly three times weaker than when he had reached the fourth level initially. This was the bare minimum to remain a level four Lord.
Yet, Gravis managed to evade the follow-up attacks and flew into the distance. Then, he transformed back and felt incredibly weak. Right now, their power difference could basically be counted as four levels instead of three.
The King transformed back into his normal body and looked at Gravis with narrowed eyes. Yet, Gravis could see exhaustion inside his eyes. Gravis had forced the eel to consume a lot of his power.
Every time the King was forced to use his Law of disguise or control his mud, he lost more of his Energy. The King had transformed many times and had used an incredible amount of mud in the fight, which severely sapped his stamina.
Yet, even though the moray eel's Energy storages were nearly empty, he still had a lot of stamina for his body. His speed had fallen, but Gravis' Realm had also fallen immensely. Right now, the speed difference between them was about the same as it had been at the beginning of the fight.
