Chapter 815: Violent Law Comprehension (1/2)
The Immortal King almost couldn't believe what had just happened.
Did this insane guy just directly charge into the clouds!?
Was he suicidal!?
The Immortal King wasn't that upset because of Gravis' potential death, but because Gravis' interference could break the balance of the entire Law Comprehension Area. If Gravis destroyed too much lightning, the mountains might grow into the clouds, absorbing far more lightning than the clouds could regenerate.
Hadn't he just said that Gravis shouldn't damage this Law Comprehension Area!?
The Immortal King took out a jade token and activated it. ”The ogre just charged into the clouds without rhyme or reason.”
”What!?” the jade token released a mighty shout of shock. ”What's happening!? Is something going on? Is the Law Comprehension Area still alright!?”
The Immortal King looked around and saw that the Law Comprehension Area was still in one piece. In actuality, it seemed like Gravis hadn't been there, to begin with.
It was just normal.
”Actually, I see no difference,” the Immortal King said.
”Is he dead?” the jade token asked.
The Immortal King looked around. Sadly, the lightning was too violent for his Spirit Sense to enter, which made it impossible to check up on Gravis unless he decided to also go into the clouds. However, this would be an insanely stupid decision.
”I can't check,” the Immortal King said.
Some seconds of silence.
”Did you hear any explosions?” the jade token asked.
”Only the usual ones,” the Immortal King answered.
Some more seconds of silence.
”Did something drop?”
The Immortal King looked around and realized that nothing had dropped from the clouds. ”No.”
”Hm,” the jade token hummed, ”then he might still be alive. He should have at least one powerful weapon, and even if he dies, his weapon should have survived. If it didn't drop, it means that his Spirit Space is still in one piece, which means he is still alive.”
”However, that would mean that he is constantly being attacked by the lightning. Is the lightning degenerating?” the jade token asked.
The Immortal King looked around.
”No, everything's still normal. It's like he has never been here,” he answered.
Some seconds of silence.
”Quite peculiar,” the jade token said. ”Please wait for a minute while I'm asking around.”
”Okay,” the Immortal King answered.
Then, several minutes of silence passed in which the Immortal King only looked around the area.
Everything was so incredibly plain and normal that he started doubting his own eyes.
Had the ogre truly been here?
”I'm back,” the jade token said, ”and I think I got the answers I was searching for.”
”Yes?” the Immortal King asked.
”Apparently, the guy had done a similar thing at his last destination. According to the Sect Master of that area, the ogre dove into a pool of lightning balls that demonstrated the Major Law of Lightning's Stasis.”
”However, the lightning balls seemingly ignored him. It was like he didn't exist, and he moved around in them like it was a normal ball pit.”
The Immortal King was quite surprised when he heard that. ”That doesn't sound possible.”
”I know,” the jade token answered, ”but the other Sect Master was adamant that it happened. Also, based on what we're seeing right now, I'm inclined to believe him.”
”So, if we like it or not, we have to acknowledge that the ogre has some kind of unique affinity towards lightning.”
”Should we do something about that?” the Immortal King asked.
”What could we possibly do?” the jade token answered with a sigh. ”We would either need to gather all the Sect Masters to attack him or pay a ridiculous amount of money to Underworld. Additionally, you know that Underworld always keeps everything that they hunt. After all, that's their battle spoils.”
The Immortal King remained silent for some seconds. ”So, we just let him do whatever he wants.”
