Chapter 733: Burial Ground (1/2)
The air around Gravis' opponent shook as he gathered a ridiculous amount of Energy. Gravis looked at the process very closely to learn more about Weapon Techniques.
First, the Laws were gathered around the person. Then, they got absorbed by him. Gravis couldn't feel what was happening inside his opponent's body during that time. After that, a powerful force entered the man's spear as he readied himself for a strike.
CRACK!
The space around Gravis cracked as the enemy used Space Confinement to block teleportation and to restrict Gravis' movement. Like this, an average opponent would have no choice but to parry or block the attack. Evading would be out of the question unless the enemy also had an Avatar of Space.
Gravis could use his Law of Freedom to escape, but he wanted to actually feel the power of his opponent.
The enemy also activated his Will-Aura to suppress Gravis' movement.
The man pulled his spear back as he loaded his entire being into the attack.
”Burial Ground!” the man shouted with power as he struck forward with his entire being.
BOOOOM!
The air behind the guy seemingly exploded as he shot forward with incredible speed. Gravis hadn't expected that his opponent would be able to unleash such speed, but it was still in Gravis' ability to handle.
The man closed in on Gravis, and his strike finished just as he arrived in front of Gravis. Then, with his full power, he unloaded his strike into Gravis.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Kilometers of ground were destroyed below them as the air shook.
CRACK!
Gravis' shield, which he had just summoned, broke into pieces as Gravis got shot into the distance, leaving a massive trail of blood and body pieces behind.
BANG!
An explosion occurred on the horizon as Gravis smashed through several mountains, the debris raining onto the surrounding fields and houses.
Then, silence.
The guards grimaced as they saw Gravis' blood and metal fragments falling to the ground. No Early Minor Circulation Immortal could survive such an attack.
This was what made Weapon Cultivators so powerful, unsurpassed offense. Their techniques held absolute destructive power, and when someone got hit by such an attack, they would die. Blocking a Weapon Cultivator's attack was suicide.
The man released a breath. He had almost feared that Gravis could block this attack too, but that obviously wasn't the case. The man had unleashed 20% of his entire reserves into this attack, which was a lot.
One had to remember that humans had access to Spirit and also had many times the amount of Energy of beasts. When a human unleashed 20% of their Energy, a beast would need to use 100% to replicate that amount of Energy.
One also had to remember that this meant that the man could unleash this same attack four more times. Beasts were dangerous because of their bodies, but humans were dangerous because of their explosive offense.
SHING!
The atmosphere seemingly froze as Gravis teleported back to his earlier location. The guards were shocked into silence. The man was shocked into silence. Everyone was shocked into silence.
He was still alive!? This was impossible!
Yet, calling Gravis alive could be described as debatable. Several of his limbs were missing, and half of his upper body was smashed into unrecognizable pieces. The only remaining relatively undamaged part was his head, but even his head had some blood flowing down from a wound.
Gravis was barely hanging on to life.
'Holy shit!' Gravis thought in shock and terror. 'That was far more powerful than I had expected! I literally used absolutely everything I had in my defense. I used everything I had on my shield, all my Life Laws on my body, and even put on my armor, which is now scattered across the sky.'
'Yet, my shield and my armor got obliterated like they didn't even exist. Even the defense of my scales was penetrated like it was normal skin. If I hadn't used all my Life Laws to barely heal the important parts, I would be dead right now! On top of that, I needed to use my Law of Freedom and my Will-Aura to free myself from his restriction to even block appropriately!'
'Fuck, If I had actually fought that one guy in the highest world and would have taken his attack, I would have died 100%! That one guy was definitely more powerful than this one.'
For the first time since arriving in this world, Gravis felt nervous and even a little terrified. It felt like he had just had an intimate brush with death. One wrong move and he would have died.
