Chapter 621: Mixed Elements Complete (1/2)
As long as Gravis was so big, he didn't truly feel like a human. Another problem was that his Battle-Strength was severely affected by this new form.
This new form of his had basically crammed everything of his old body into this one, making it feel bloated. His normal form had much more space with a longer and broader neck and wider chest. His arms were also much bulkier than normal. Additionally, one shouldn't forget that his legs had a very different shape.
Gravis' whole body felt bloated like his insides and muscles wanted to spill out. He was pretty sure that the skin on his arms would explode if he tried to punch something. Moving his legs also felt awkward with the stretched and constrained muscles.
Lastly, one shouldn't forget that a human's body was not as combat-focused as Gravis' beast body. Right now, properly fighting in his human body felt very uncomfortable.
'Well, it was nice to look at myself as a human again. Surprisingly, I also don't feel like my connection to the Laws has been increased. I think it's not the human form that increased the connection, but a human's Spirit. I expect that since I already have a human's Spirit, I already have this closer connection to the Laws.'
Gravis looked at the ground. 'I shouldn't forget that I managed to learn a ton of Laws in only about 300 years or so. This is obviously far too abnormal for a beast. I'm probably pretty good at learning new Laws, but I doubt that I am the best one out of all beasts with that huge of a margin. My guess is that I already have the closeness to the Laws that normal humans have.'
'Well, no sense in staying in this form,' Gravis thought.
BZZZ!
Gravis transformed into lightning and transformed back. His lightning immediately created his usual beast body again since this was his proper body. As soon as Gravis returned to his old body, he stretched himself in comfort.
'This feels much better,' Gravis thought. 'I will get my real human form either way when I become an Immortal. At that point, it shouldn't feel awkward and bloated anymore.'
Gravis cracked his neck as he readied himself to get back to work. 'Back to the Mixed Elemental Laws. I'm still missing two.'
SSSSHHHH!
Gravis violently moved the air around to create a mighty wind. Then, he threw some Destruction Lightning into the wind and looked at what would happen.
At first, nothing special happened, but after a while, the lightning seemed to become fainter. Meanwhile, the wind also changed. It slowed down a bit, and it became harder for Gravis to move it with his Spirit. Yet, since Gravis had control over one of the two prerequisite elements, he could control the new kind of wind with his affinity.
The new kind of wind moved around as a white hue could be seen. Gravis scratched his now hairless chin in thought and inspected the new kind of wind. 'Interesting. It's moving slower than the normal kind of wind, but it feels more powerful. Let's try it.'
Gravis willed the new kind of wind to shoot at a mountain.
BANG!
The wind hit the mountain, and the mountain was cut into two pieces. After cutting through the mountain, a lot of Energy left the new kind of wind, but there was still a lot of Energy left in the wind. Gravis willed the new kind of wind to return to him and inspected it.
'Just as I've thought. The power of the Destruction Lightning has been incorporated into the wind's cutting power, enhancing it. This means that this kind of wind is slower than normal wind but more powerful. On the other hand, it's faster than Destruction Lightning but not as powerful. Just like with the other mixed elements, it combines the attributes of both of them.'
'Let's get right to it,' Gravis thought.
Five years later. Gravis had been in seclusion for 135 years.
BOOOOM!
'Got it!' Gravis thought. 'My speed is also increasing as I understand more Laws.'
His speed was increasing? But didn't he also take five years for nearly all the other Mixed Elemental Laws?
That was not entirely true. If one thought back to the fusion between metal and water, one would realize that this one had taken 15 years. The reason for that had been that the creation of liquid metal had taken a lot of time. Gravis could only properly learn about the element when he managed to create it.
The same thing was true here. Creating the Cutting Wind, as Gravis called it, also took some time. Yet, instead of needing 15 years, he only needed five years this time. One reason for the faster speed was that he was very familiar with one of the two elements, while the other reason was his experience in the other Mixed Elemental Laws.
'Only one more!' Gravis thought as he grabbed some magma. Then, he broke it apart into stone and fire and threw the stone to the side. After that, he started fusing the fire with his lightning.
