Chapter 812: Ogre (1/2)

Some seconds after the image vanished, violent shouts of accusation broke out in the room. Sect Masters were accusing Sect Master Urgnah of breaking the rules of the Sect Alliance.

However, Sect Master Urgnah simply answered all the accusations calmly, and everything boiled down to one point.

What was he supposed to do?

Sect Master Urgnah was helpless in this entire situation. If he attacked Gravis, his Sect would die, and if he called the Sect Alliance, several Sect Masters would die.

Sadly, the accusations didn't stop, and a violent mob of Sect Masters formed that wanted to kill Gravis.

However, one sentence from Urgnah shut them up.

”He won't stay in my Law Comprehension Area forever,” he said.

Silence.

”He plans to comprehend Laws for around 20,000 years or so. At least, that's what he said. This means that even if you kill me for treason, one of your Sects will be next. Don't throw accusations now just to backpedal into a defensive position when this powerful ogre suddenly starts appearing in your basement.”

The Sect Masters wanted to accuse Urgnah more, but the image of them being in Urgnah's position in the future wasn't nice to look at. Right, what about when that guy suddenly appeared in one of their resource points? They couldn't just kill him. Otherwise, they would die!

Also, he would definitely be able to kill several Sect Masters before he got killed himself.

Who was willing to risk their life for another Sect's Law Comprehension Area?

After some minutes, the Sect Masters calmed down again.

Sect Master Urgnah's comparison was pretty accurate. Gravis was like an overpowered ogre that suddenly appeared in someone's basement. They couldn't keep him out, no matter what they did.

Sure, if the whole village banded together, they might be able to kill the ogre, but why should they, and at what cost?

He was only living in a basement, not annoying anyone. On top of that, he would leave after some time. Was it truly worth it to sacrifice so many lives to kill an ogre that wasn't doing anything to anyone?

In the end, the Sect Masters were forced to accept the current situation. There was nothing they could do against Gravis.

As long as the ogre didn't start eating all the crops, the emperor of the land wouldn't send any guards.

There was literally nothing they could do.

So, in the end, it was decided that every Sect had to inform the Sect Alliance if the ogre suddenly appeared in their basement. Luring others into their basement to become food for the ogre was bad for the greater collective.

And like this, Gravis became immune from any repercussions.

Now, he could officially do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't steal their resources.

The Sect Alliance just had to ignore him, and nothing would happen to them.

The only person that still seethed with anger was the woman that had argued with Sect Master Urgnah. One of her two Immortal Kings had died, reducing the number of her Immortal Kings to the same number as Sect Master Urgnah's. She only had one Vice Sect Master left now.

Meanwhile, Gravis gathered the belongings of his victim and deactivated the Formation Array. After that, he threw the key back to the Immortal King since he had no use for it.

Then, without a word, Gravis returned to the middle of the Law Comprehension Area, simply concentrating on comprehending the High-Tier Law of Lightning's Magnetism.

The disciple looked with a complex expression at Gravis but shrugged in the end. Gravis hadn't done anything and was just sitting there. He might as well not exist.

The Immortal King left with the key and returned to his Sect, leaving Gravis and the disciple behind.

And like this, Gravis returned to comprehending Laws, and finally, he was no longer disturbed.

This was the last disturbance.

Gravis felt himself getting lost in a sea of magnetism as he absorbed more and more information about the Law. Whenever Gravis was comprehending new Laws, he had to extrapolate all the information himself, but whenever it involved lightning, it was like the lightning just couldn't wait to tell him all its secrets.

It was like the lightning had been a young boy who had been isolated for far too long without anyone to talk to. As soon as he found someone he could talk to, he lost all social inhibitions and just went on and on and on about himself.

And so, in just five years, Gravis managed to comprehend the High-Tier Law of Magnetism.
