Chapter 733: Burial Ground (2/2)

'Note to self, never receive an attack from a Weapon Cultivator that is an actual danger to me,' Gravis thought.

”You are incomprehensibly powerful,” Gravis' opponent said calmly as he relaxed his stance. ”I can't even grasp the fact that you even managed to withstand my Burial Ground without dying immediately. Yet, you just had to fight someone far above your league. In your next life, I hope you will follow the true path of weapons.”

The guy obviously thought that he had already won. After all, Gravis' body was decimated. Stopping death would be impossible not to speak of actually putting up a fight.

Meanwhile, Gravis got reminded of something. ”Speaking of,” Gravis spoke with a weak and rough voice. ”Why did you shout the name of your attack?”

The man was taken aback. This Ascender was about to die, and that was his question? On top of that, what kind of question even was that? Everyone shouted out the name of their attack! They did that to motivate themselves to unleash even more power and to intimidate their opponent. Additionally, it looked pretty cool.

The man shook his head slowly. ”I don't understand you,” he said with a serene and kind voice. ”Peacefully go into the next life.”

The man put his spear on his back and bowed lightly to Gravis with a praying gesture. It was like he was praying for Gravis to find a good next life. With this gesture, he was showing his respect to his opponent.

Gravis blinked a couple of times in confusion. What? Why did the guy shout out his attack? Why was he talking about a next life like it was a fact that reincarnation existed? Why was he praying for Gravis? The fuck was going on?

'Fuck that!' Gravis thought.

CRRRR!

Gravis' damaged body started moving and shaking as it looked like something inside his body was violently crawling around.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Perfectly healed parts of his body shot out of Gravis' torso in an instant. In just a second, Gravis had regenerated back to his peak. After all, one had to remember that Gravis knew the level three Law of Energy Healing, the same Law that Sary had learned back before she ascended. Gravis could use his Energy as a replacement for Life Energy and heal himself.

Sadly, healing himself to his peak condition took around 20% of his Energy, which he had to regain by his passive Energy absorption.

The minds of the onlookers stopped working as they couldn't process what just happened. Gravis had already shown that he knew a ridiculous amount of Laws, but he also had similarly incredible achievements in the Life Laws?

How was any of this real!?

How could anyone like this even exist!?

”So, why did you shout out your attack?” Gravis asked as he stretched his new fingers. He still hadn't gotten an answer from the guy, and he wanted to know why. Why would anyone shout out their attack? That not only gave the opponent a chance to react but would also tell them what attack would be coming. Shouting out one's attack was like telling an opponent what one would do now. It's just stupid!

The man hadn't used his Spirit to keep track of Gravis since he was sure that Gravis was basically dead. Yet, when he heard Gravis' now healthy voice, he looked up at Gravis.

And he continued looking at Gravis, not turning away.

It was like what he saw just didn't register.

Gravis looked into his opponent's eyes.

”Tell me,” Gravis said. ”I really want to know what kind of backward justifications and logic you have to use to rationalize such a stupid act.”

Slowly, the man's face transformed from serene kindness and peace to shock and fear.

”H-How a-are you still al-alive!?” he sputtered loudly as he pointed at Gravis with a shaking finger. ”What is going on!?”

BANG!

Gravis exploded forward with his full speed, and his speed was so fast that it was impossible for his opponent to react in such a distressed mindset.

BANG!

Then, Gravis landed a clean fist on the opponent's cheek, breaking parts of his skull as he got flung into the distance.

”Stop sidetracking the conversation!” Gravis shouted.

”I want to know why you are shouting out the name of your attack!”
