Chapter 552: Goodbye to Meadow (2/2)

Then, Gravis smirked. ”Yet, is that the end?” he asked smugly.

”There is nothing left in the plant world that I can combine with that particular level one Law, so, yes, I'm pretty confident that this is the end,” Meadow answered.

”You're right!” Gravis said. ”You can't combine it with any more Laws related to Plants, but what about other categories of Laws?”

”What do you mean?” Meadow asked. Surprisingly, she hadn't made one of her offensive jokes in a while now.

”What about fire whips? What about concentrated water beams? What about wind? There could be Laws in these elements that are used similarly to your Law. If something is similar, chances are high that they can be combined into a new Law,” Gravis said.

Meadow remained silent.

”Whips might not be the best example,” Gravis said as he scratched his chin in embarrassment. ”Let's take something more obvious, spires! Earth can make spires. Wood can make spears. Icicles are spires. A concentrated fire beam might be a spire. Metal can become a spear.”

Gravis smirked. ”Doesn't that sound like it could be combined into one thing? Imagine a spire with the hardness of metal, the durability of earth, the explosiveness of fire, and the flexibility of wood. That sounds like a level two Law to me.”

Meadow still remained silent as she fell into thought.

”Just like bark, earth, and other materials from different elements can create the Composition Law of Medium Pure Materials, different element-specific attack or defense Laws might also be combinable.”

”Look at Ferris,” Gravis said as his head gestured to Ferris. ”He combined soul with fire. If I hadn't seen that, I wouldn't even have imagined something like this to be possible. Just try to imagine what you could create!”

With these words, Meadow now looked at the world differently from before. What Gravis had said made a lot of sense, and Meadow might need to change her plan in understanding Laws. She hadn't made much progress in the last couple of thousand years, and it might actually help her if she tried to concentrate on Laws from completely different elements.

”You have given me a lot to think about,” Meadow said.

Gravis only smirked. ”I'll take that as a thanks.”

Surprisingly, Meadow didn't disagree. Gravis had already noticed that Meadow had started acting atypical ever since she had realized that she actually cared for Gravis. This whole situation was probably new and uncomfortable for her, making her uncertain on how to act.

”Alright, I'll let you think in peace. It was great staying in your domain, but I need to leave now,” Gravis said, trying to make the awkwardness disappear.

”You have helped me with your words,” Meadow answered. ”So, I guess, that it was nice of you to be here?” she asked, her voice becoming more and more unsure with time. She probably wasn't used to saying such words.

Gravis only chuckled a bit. ”Don't worry. Before I leave this world, I will visit you again! We can chat all we want then!”

Meadow seemed to hesitate since some seconds passed without her saying anything. Gravis didn't mind it and simply believed that Meadow was probably thinking about how to answer in the least offensive way.

Gravis walked over to Ferris. ”You ready to go?”

Ferris perked up. ”Oh? Yeah, since like 15 years or so. I didn't want to disturb you, so I simply waited,” Ferris said with quite some excitement. By the looks of it, he had truly been pretty bored for the last couple of years.

Gravis nodded. ”Sure, then let's go!”

Ferris nodded with excitement. ”Sounds great!”

Gravis turned to the flower in the middle of the flower field. ”We're off now. See you later, Meadow!”

Meadow remained silent for some seconds. ”You too, Gravis,” she said quietly.

Gravis only smiled. Apparently, Meadow had many sides to her personality. Who knows, maybe Meadow was actually a sweetheart deep inside?

With that said, Gravis and Ferris flew into the distance. After a while, they left the forest and Meadow behind as they flew back to the Icy Pride Empire.

”Hey, Ferris,” Gravis said with a smirk.

”Yes?”

”I've comprehended seven Laws.”
