Chapter 758: Returning to the Sect (1/2)
Gravis finally understood what Weapon Laws were and how they worked. Based on the name and what Surem had told him, Gravis had always thought that he had to understand a Law related to his weapon. He had looked at this Law like it was a normal Law, trying to understand more about his weapon.
However, there was simply nothing more to understand about his weapon. It was a saber. It could stab, and it could slash. One could learn a ton about how to use a weapon, but Gravis was so old and so experienced that there was simply nothing more to learn.
”How can I create this Focus?” Gravis asked.
”I can't help you with that,” Arc said. ”It's your personal Law. If I were to tell you how to do it, it wouldn't be your personal Law anymore. The only thing you need to do now is to experiment. You know the end product you want to achieve, and you need to find a way to create that product. Simply look at it like you want to create a very powerful weapon. After all, you are pretty good at forging weapons.”
Gravis nodded. ”Thanks, Arc. I don't know how long it would have taken me to finally get what Weapon Laws are without you,” Gravis said sincerely.
”No problem,” Arc said with a smirk as he waved dismissively. ”As I've said, I don't like talent being wasted. That you found a Sect so perfectly fitting to your mindset seems like luck, but it was actually bad luck. The Unrestrained Sect only uses the Synchronization Comprehension method. Trying to learn Weapon Laws from them made it even harder for you.”
”Luck, huh?” Gravis uttered with a sigh.
Arc nodded. ”Yes, your lack of Karmic Luck is in full effect again since you are now among humans. You just have to deal with it.”
Gravis nodded.
”By the way, I think now would be a good time for you to return to your Sect,” Arc said. ”You spent about 14 hours here, and your Sect is in danger due to the Punishment Cleaver Sect. You now know how to create your own Weapon Laws, but you don't have the time right now.”
Gravis nodded again. ”Yes, Arthur probably won't stop until the Unrestrained Sect is annihilated. He is probably still fearful of Liran's unexpected power, but that wouldn't stop him from using other means. It's only a matter of time before he tries something. I might not have been part of the Sect for even a single day, but I joined them. Loyalty is important to me, and I will help them to the best of my ability.”
”If you want,” Arc said, ”you can return, and we can speak to each other again. The Emblem you received gives you unlimited teleportations. However, you obviously can't use it in a crisis to flee. I wouldn't want you to use me to flee from danger. Though, I'm sure that you also wouldn't want to do that, right?”
”Right,” Gravis confirmed as he stood up. ”Thank you again, Arc. I know that you only helped me because you want to, but it's still something I appreciate.”
”One more thing,” Arc said. ”This world holds Law Comprehension Areas and some inheritances for every existing Law that isn't part of the Laws of Perceived Reality. This includes the Emotional Laws. When you've dealt with your lightning issue, you can search for them to learn about Emotional Laws.”
Gravis nodded. ”Thanks.”
”Go,” Arc said with a smile. ”If you ever want to talk, just come back. I'm always here.”
Gravis nodded. ”Then, see you later, Arc.”
”See you later, Gravis.”
CRACK!
Gravis summoned the Emblem and broke it. As soon as it broke, Gravis was already gone.
Arc continued sitting in front of the lake, his feet still dangling in the water.
”I wonder how our fight will go in the future,” he mused to himself with a smile.
”Finally, something exciting happens again.”
