Chapter 480: Ambush (1/2)

Gravis' mind went into overdrive. The ambusher was a metal-attribute beast, and the manta ray had already transformed fully into metal. Even a fully powered Lightning Crescent wouldn't be able to injure it. The defense of such a beast was just too powerful. One had to remember that the Golden Dragon had only been two levels higher than Gravis. This attacker was three levels higher than him!

”I need your help!” Gravis transmitted to the gathered beasts. Then, Gravis summoned a huge saber. As soon as the ice dragons had arrived, Gravis had already begun forging a new weapon. After all, there was a big possibility that he would get ambushed again, which had proven true.

BZZZZZZ!

The saber crackled with an incredible amount of lightning. The saber began breaking down as the power nearly overwhelmed it. Gravis had just converted all the corpses inside his Spirit Space into lightning and had infused a Lightning Crescent into the saber. This Lightning Crescent was more powerful than what Gravis could produce with only himself right now.

Then, Gravis slashed at the approaching enemy. The powerful Lightning Crescent left the saber as the saber broke apart. The enemy felt the power of the attack, and their eyes widened.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

A gigantic explosion, just as powerful as the one that had killed the moray eel, appeared and destroyed the surroundings. Yet, Gravis controlled the lightning to not attack his comrades.

The explosion vanished just as quickly, and the attacker appeared again. Right now, the attacker was blinded and couldn't see anything. Additionally, a lot of the ore inside his metallic body had melted down, including some of his sword-like appendages. Yet, the enemy wasn't fatally injured.

BZZZZZZ!

Gravis summoned the molten ore and forged it into a gigantic nail. As long as he managed to produce enough power to melt the ore, he would be able to forge it. With the added power of the corpses, he had achieved just that.

BANG!

Gravis used his whole power and threw the nail at the manta ray's head.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, another mighty explosion made out of lightning appeared behind the nail. Gravis had gathered all his power after throwing the nail and had unleashed a Lightning Crescent with all his power, which hit the back of the nail.

The Lightning Crescent wasn't powerful enough to melt the nail again, but that was not Gravis' goal. Instead, the power of the Lightning Crescent made the nail shoot forward with incredible speed and power.

CRK!

The nail buried itself into the head of the stunned manta ray. It was still blinded and couldn't look at its surroundings due to the disturbances in space. Therefore, the nail managed to hit it before it could react. Yet, the nail didn't manage to reach its brain. It just dug into the skull of the manta ray.

BANG!

Gravis shot forward and kicked the back of the nail with all his power. Sadly, he only managed to make the nail move slightly. It still wasn't enough to kill the manta ray.

”Now!” Gravis shouted at the other beasts.

The other beasts had already gathered their powers and were ready to fire. When Gravis had told them that he needed their help, he had also told them to ready their most powerful attacks. Because of that, everyone had been prepared.

WHOOOOOOM!

A powerful storm of attacks rained down, and the surroundings exploded again as the elemental storm hit the back of the nail. Gravis, who already knew what was going to happen, had fled behind the body of the manta ray.

The manta ray had also been unable to react to this attack. The stabbing pain of a nail piercing its head had made it unable to react. Because of that, the gathered power of all beasts exploded onto the back of the nail, forcing it further into the manta ray's head.

The nail reached the manta ray's brain and stabbed into it. Normally, such an injury wouldn't be enough to kill a king. After all, they had an incredible amount of Life Energy. Yet, Gravis had angled the nail to hit the manta ray's beast core.

The nail cracked the beast core, and all the power of the manta ray left it. It lost control over its Laws and element and transformed back into flesh.

BOOOOM!

Gravis returned and kicked the nail again, burying it even deeper into the enemy's head. This completely destroyed the Beast Core, and the manta ray died.

Gravis breathed heavily. He had just unloaded all of his power instantly, exhausting him to no end.

”I had to absorb the remaining corpses, but I will leave this corpse to you. If you share it among yourselves, you will gain even more than you would have by eating the corpses,” Gravis said.

”Later!” a beast shouted as it started flying into the distance. They were still too close to the battle and needed to retreat further. All the other beasts followed the fleeing beast.

Gravis gathered the corpse and nail and shot after them.

”Split apart!” the mighty voice from earlier suddenly resounded throughout Gravis' head.

Gravis trusted the voice and immediately dodged to the side. He couldn't transform into lightning right now. If he did, all his gains from consuming the moray eel would be lost!

WHOOOOM!

Gravis' Spirit Sense saw another ice dragon shooting at him from a distance. Yet, this time, Gravis was prepared. Earlier, the attack had come out of nowhere, but not this time!

Whoom!
