Chapter 566: Defensive Battle (2/2)

Even though Gravis hadn't been majorly injured in the clash, his only shield had been destroyed. Creating and forging such powerful materials cost a lot of Energy, and creating a new shield would cost Gravis around 10% of his lightning and Spirit.

Now, Gravis stood in front of an Emperor without a shield. He also couldn't evade his attacks. This meant that he had to block them with his armor.

He wouldn't even be able to use his saber since he hadn't upgraded his saber. After all, the power of the Lightning Crescent wasn't determined by the quality of the saber. The saber only needed to be able to resist the Lightning Crescent while it was inside it. If Gravis had also upgraded his saber, he would have even less lightning right now.

BRRRR!

Four seconds passed in which the Emperor summoned another four copies. His old ones had exploded with the last attack, forcing him to create new ones. Sadly, Gravis couldn't interrupt the Emperor since he couldn't unleash an attack that would actually be a danger to his enemy. It was better to wait.

BANG!

The Emperor shot at Gravis again. Yet, this time, the copies stretched until they all came from different angles. Gravis immediately swung around and used his tail to destroy the copies.

BANG!

One copy was destroyed, and the armor on Gravis' tail became incredibly hot as it started fusing with his scales. Yet, the tail didn't stop!

BANG!

Another one was taken out as the armor on Gravis' tail nearly became liquified.

BANG!

A third copy was punched by Gravis' hand, and the armor on his right arm also started fusing to his body.

BANG!

The last copy exploded as the sweep of Gravis' tail finished. One tail-swipe had taken out three copies of the Emperor. Yet, this didn't come without damage. All muscles on Gravis' tail had burned black, and even the bones started becoming black. There was simply too much heat.

'One attack will only burn my skin. Two attacks burn my muscles, and three attacks burn everything. I can only block one attack safely and two if I'm in desperate straits,' Gravis thought quickly. He had used his most expendable body part to test how much damage he would take from attacks. With this new knowledge, he could plan his blocks better.

Gravis was already using his Law of Suppression and his Law of Fire Composition to weaken the copies as much as possible. Without these two things weakening the copies severely, only one explosion would have completely destroyed Gravis' tail and right arm.

Yet, Gravis was only so fast. He had unleashed two blocks at the same time, but he couldn't unleash a third one to block the body of the Emperor. So, Gravis had to resort to creativity.

BANG!

The Emperor evaded the burned tail and attacked Gravis' back, but suddenly, a powerful chunk of ore appeared between them. This was the remaining Peak Nascent Nourishing Rank ore that Gravis had inside his Spirit Space.

BOOOM!

The ore exploded, and fragments of the ore hit Gravis' back. Luckily, since Gravis wore an armor even harder than the ore, the armor only got dented slightly. The fragments' force also threw Gravis into the distance again, which protected him from a follow-up attack from the Emperor.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, in front of Gravis, a concentrated fireball appeared! This was a fireball that had been created with the Law of Fire Explosion. Gravis was shooting right into it since it had spawned right in front of him. Additionally, Gravis was so fast that he couldn't even react.

BOOOOOM!

The fireball exploded on Gravis' chest without being weakened by any of Gravis' Laws.
