Chapter 699: Power of Honesty (1/2)

PLOP!

The Immortal was surprised as he suddenly lost hold of Gravis. He still felt that his Space Constriction was active, but Gravis suddenly simply popped out of it. It was like a slippery eel had glided out of his hands.

”Huh?” he uttered as he looked at Gravis again.

WHOOOM!

He reactivated his Space Confinement and pulled Gravis.

PLOP!

But Gravis wasn't even moved a little bit. It was like the space around him was a liquid, and he was a heavy stone. It pressed into him, but in the end, it only managed to flow around him.

The Immortal blinked several times in surprise as he couldn't comprehend this situation. Why didn't his Space Confinement work? It had always worked, and even if it didn't, his Space Confinement would have needed to be broken first, either by a powerful Law or by the Space Law of someone else.

But something else quickly gained the attention of the Immortal.

Gravis' Avatar.

He had never seen an Avatar that looked like this, but that wasn't what grabbed his attention. What grabbed his attention was the fact that Gravis had an Avatar in the first place.

”You're not supposed to condense your Avatar yet!” The Immortal shouted. ”You were supposed to wait until we found the correct Law for you! Now I have to contact my manager and inform him about your decision!”

Gravis only looked into the Immortal's eyes. Obviously, this was a misunderstanding.

”I'm not one of your students,” Gravis said.

The Immortal was taken aback. ”You're not?” he asked.

”No, I'm the forger that is supposed to make the weapons for two teams,” Gravis said.

”Oh,” the Immortal said. ”Then, please excuse my rude behavior. I thought that you were one of my students.”

Gravis nodded but didn't smile. ”No problem.”

What was going on?

This person believed Gravis just like this?

Not only had the Immortal not doubted Gravis words, but he had immediately accepted them as the absolute truth. One had to remember that there were probably fewer than ten Early Minor Circulation Immortals that had comprehended the Law of the Dead World. On top of that, none of those would want to forge some weapons. These Immortals didn't need money since they were the Core Disciples of the Peak Sects.

Additionally, this Immortal was supposed to have the ability to create a World Weapon in just some hours?

No sane person would believe any of that.

Yet, the Immortal didn't even doubt Gravis.

Why was that?

Simple, the Law of Honesty.

Powers could be used with peaceful intentions in mind and with malicious intentions. Darkness could protect and shroud its allies, but it could also poison them. The Law of Honesty was not different in this sense.

The Law of Honesty could show the honest mindset of the Cultivator, but it could also overpower the mind of someone else.

When Gravis said that he was the forger, the Law of Honesty directly told the Immortal that Gravis had spoken the absolute truth, no matter how unbelievable it was. One had to remember that the chances of running across an Immortal with the Law of the Dead World were far lower than running across a random, nine-headed chicken.

The thing that defined the power of the Law of Honesty was the Will-Aura, surprisingly. Nearly no Laws used the Will-Aura as a medium. Nearly all Laws used the Energy inside the Cultivator to fuel their power. Only the Emotional and Situational Laws used the Will-Aura as a medium.
