Chapter 626: Gravity (2/2)

After 240 years, Gravis was sure that he was nearly there.

After 250 years, Gravis managed to reach the threshold. Yet, instead of trying to break through it, Gravis stopped. He already knew that he couldn't understand a level three Law without tempering himself. Trying to comprehend it fully now would be a waste of time.

”Morus, bring us up,” Gravis ordered.

”Yes, Master,” Morus said as he pulled Gravis upward. In the beginning, Gravis had to use a terrifying amount of Life Energy to keep his tail in one piece since they were rising, but the more they rose, the easier it became.

After around 4.000 kilometers, Gravis ordered Morus to release him. From this height, Gravis didn't need any help to control himself. Gravis righted himself for the first time in 250 years, and it felt weird to be upright again.

'Man, I have been upside down for 250 years. It even feels weird to be upright now. Time really has a weird effect on perception,' Gravis thought. 'I need to get used to standing upright again.'

”Morus, have you learned something?” Gravis asked.

”Yes, Master. I have not comprehended another Law, but the terrifying heat down here has given me more insights into fire and the Law of Heat,” Morus answered respectfully.

Gravis smirked. ”That's good. Now, let's return to the surface.”

”Yes, Master,” Morus said.

Then, Gravis and Morus rose upwards again. By now, the hole had closed up again with dried magma, but it wasn't difficult for them to break through it.

WHOOOOSH!

Suddenly, Gravis and Morus felt water assaulting them. It wasn't some kind of attack, but simply natural water.

”Huh?” Gravis said. ”I don't remember digging inside water. Did we make a wrong turn?” Gravis asked Morus.

”No, Master. I am certain that this is the place where we have entered,” Morus said.

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. 'This can only mean that there is now water where there has been no water. I'm guessing that the sea beasts have made quite some victories if even the core of the continent is affected.'

Gravis rubbed the back of his neck. 'I guess 250 years is a long time. I have been in seclusion for 650 years by now. The world is probably no longer the same as it has been.'

The two of them shot past the seabed and fully entered the water.

”Intruders!” a mighty wave of Beast Sense washed over everything.

'Sure enough, we're inside sea beast territory now,' Gravis thought.

In a matter of seconds, a level three Emperor and several level two Emperors arrived and surrounded Gravis and Morus.

Gravis only looked at the gathered forces without any nervousness.

Morus had an above-average Battle-Strength, and Gravis could turn all the other Emperors into dust.

This was not a force that could threaten them.

Yet, Gravis wanted to see how they would react.
