Chapter 711: Graphite (1/2)

It was still tough for Yersi to accept the situation. Something like this had happened to a lot of others around her, but she had never been the fortunate one. It was just like a dream had come true.

Yersi accepted the date. She had no idea what she should think about Jake, but that was what dates were there for, right? Dates were there for two people to get to know each other more.

Because of that, Yersi decided to postpone her Law Comprehension to spend more time with Jake.

On their first date, Yersi asked Jake why he had asked her out and if he minded the look of her body.

Surprisingly, Jake was honest and said that he had no attraction to her physical form but to her personality. Yet, he also said that when Yersi became an Immortal, everything would change. Yersi already considered herself as a human, and as soon as she managed to condense her human form, she would probably stay in that form indefinitely.

At that point, Yersi's appearance would be just as attractive as her personality to Jake. Many people would have simply said that she was just perfect as she was right now, but how many would actually mean that? Yersi looked like a black, scaly demon. Sure, some people would think of her as cute or maybe even adorable, but only very few would actually find her sexually attractive.

While all of this was going on, Gravis continued comprehending his Laws. He wasn't certain what he should think about Jake. On one hand, Jake had acted perfectly to both of them, but on the other hand, it was also possible that he simply wanted to build a connection with Gravis' family.

Many people would be interested in joining the family of the Opposer, thinking that they might get to know some exclusive secrets that made them incredibly powerful. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Opposer wouldn't even speak with them.

Yet, just because there was something very attractive about Yersi's background didn't mean that this was the only reason anyone would want to come close to her. The same could be said about wealth. There would be a ton of people trying to get close to a wealthy person because of their money, but that didn't mean that there weren't people who simply liked the person for their personality.

Of course, all of this was only secondary. If this was Jake's actual goal, he would very quickly find himself before a brick wall. It wouldn't be Yersi or Gravis that stopped him. After all, Gravis was too weak for that.

No, it would be Gravis' mother who would stand in his way. She obviously loved and doted on her granddaughter, and if she found out that Jake was only in it for the money and status, she would find that out very quickly.

Because of all these reasons, Gravis didn't worry about Yersi. She was over a thousand years old and fought through an army of monsters. She should be able to handle that, and even if she couldn't, Gravis' mother would take care of things.

So, Gravis concentrated on learning more Laws.

Next on the list of Laws was Graphite, the level three Law equivalent of earth. Graphite didn't refer to a specific kind of earth but to all kinds of earth on the third level.

Gravis put the Virtualization Array into his room, and in a matter of seconds, his room basically vanished.

'Fuck, I nearly can't move!' Gravis thought as an unreal amount of pressure pressed into his body. The entire room had been filled to the absolute brim with grey, black, and brown stone. Just the pressure of the stone made it nearly impossible for Gravis to move.

Any mortal would have already died since the Graphite didn't even allow the chest of anyone to rise and fall. Luckily, Gravis didn't need to breathe.

CRR! CRR! CRRR!

Gravis tried to move, but it was impossible. No matter how much power he used, he couldn't destroy the stone around him. This meant that he was stuck here.

'Well, not totally,' Gravis thought as he connected with the Virtualization Array with his Spirit. He could still deactivate it. 'I can still use my Spirit to deactivate it, which is everything that I need. This means that the power of the Graphite around me is actually just perfect for me. I'm getting injured, but not nearly enough to die. This should be the best way to comprehend the Law.'

Starting from this day forward, Gravis remained stuck. He hadn't expected to be stuck immediately, which was why he was stuck in a half-sitting, awkward position.

Gravis remained in that position for 98 years.

SSSSSSS!

The Graphite turned into its base components, and Gravis deactivated the Formation Array.

'Sure enough, my talent in earth is also not that great,' he thought as he jumped around, being happy that he could move again. 'The only reason why I managed to comprehend this Law in one sitting is that I know Deep Wood, Storm, Matter, and the Plant Laws. Without the Matter or Plant Laws, I probably would have needed a century more or so, maybe even two.'
