Chapter 888: Samsara (1/2)

Several years passed.

WHOOOM!

Gravis unleashed a grey slash that shot forward with incredible speeds. As it passed over the lake, reality seemed to bend around it. It was like physical reality was being broken down.

Gravis had just unleashed his newest attack with a lot of power and watched it shooting over the lake with a smile.

Finally, Gravis could use the Law of Perceived Reality as an actual attack!

Finally, he could create powerful Weapon Techniques!

BANG!

The slash hit something hard and vanished. Arc had created a Formation Array for Gravis to practice in. Like this, his attacks wouldn't damage the clearing.

'I can still make it even better,' Gravis thought with a glow in his eyes. 'Right now, it's only composed of the Law of Perceived Reality, but I can probably add even more Laws.'

More years passed.

SHING!

The same attack was unleashed over the lake, but it was slightly different.

At first glance, it didn't seem any different from the previous ones, but there was one difference.

A slight glow of white fire could be seen on it.

This was the Deep Wood Element, but not the entirety of it.

Gravis had incorporated the Law of Deep Wood's Destruction into his slash. Like this, his attack, which only corroded the reality around the enemy, would also eat away at the enemy's soul.

Using the Law of Perceived Reality with a physical attack would make the target go through an incredible number of different realities. Their mind would relive their life again and again, but always from different perspectives.

In one life, they would see themselves from the eyes of a close one.

In another life, they would see themselves from the eyes of a rival.

In another life, they would see themselves from the eyes of their master.

Many different perspectives would be fused together to create many different images of the same person.

In the best-case scenario, the enemy wouldn't recognize themselves and physical reality anymore.

They would lose themselves and would stop being themselves.

In the worst-case scenario, they wouldn't receive any damage.

The effectiveness of this attack entirely depended on the personality and will of the opponent. It could completely destroy their will, but it could also be nearly useless.

However, no matter which case happened, the enemy would feel exhausted, and their concentration would receive a significant hit.

After going through many lifetimes in a moment, their mind would feel incredibly exhausted, which made it harder for them to fight and would also make them more susceptible to the normal effects of the Law of Perceived Reality.

However, all of this was only true before the most recent change.

Now, the enemy's soul would definitely be injured, no matter what happened. The Law of Deep Wood's Destruction ensured that.

In short, the Law of Deep Wood's Destruction was perfectly compatible with the effects of the physical attack of perceived reality.

It was like these Laws were made for each other.

Sadly, incorporating a Battle Law of an Element into an attack based on the Law of Perceived Reality was difficult. These Laws were from completely different categories, and they weren't on the same level.

This was why it took Gravis several years to create this attack.

Funnily enough, this physical attack had no effect on the physical body of the opponent.

It was a physical attack that attacked the soul and will of a being.

Gravis had thought about incorporating some actual physical Battle Laws into the attack, like the Law of Storm Cutting or Inferno's Explosion. Sadly, the more Laws Gravis added, the more difficult it became to create and execute the attack.

Going a bit for the soul and going a bit for the body was stupid. Getting through the opponent's armor and soul defense was the biggest hurdle, and if Gravis divided the power of his attack onto two different dimensions, it might break neither of them.

So, Gravis decided to fully focus on a soul attack.

'There's still one more Law I want to add,' Gravis thought.

Initially, Gravis wanted to add the Law of Divine Lightning, but the amount of Energy required to add an entire Element, and a level six one at that, was not worth it.
