Chapter 1118 - 1118 – Sin Monster (1/2)
Gravis immediately knew that it was a Sin Monster, and his body shook when he saw it.
Its appearance wasn't very intimidating, but Gravis felt several things that made a cold shudder run down his spine.
If Gravis hadn't known that the Sin Monsters were coming for him, he wouldn't even have noticed it.
What did it look like?
It was a mosquito, a very small one.
It wasn't even a centimeter tall.
However, the things Gravis felt made this mosquito feel like the end of the world for him.
First of all, Gravis felt that its body was impossibly powerful.
Gravis could feel space warping around it due to its sheer power.
Yet, there was something even worse.
There wasn't a shred of Energy inside it!
It was made of something else.
The Sin Monster was made out of pure Death!
It was a manifestation of the Law of Death!
Gravis knew immediately that he couldn't fight it.
The Sin Monster looked at Gravis from a distance. Gravis and Mortis were still hurrying towards the distance, but the Sin Monster kept a static distance from Gravis.
Gravis couldn't escape.
Gravis and Mortis looked at the Sin Monster with unsure expressions.
It wasn't doing anything.
”Why have you become silent?” Arc asked through Gravis' communication ring. He had been planning with Mortis and Gravis the entire time.
When the mosquito heard Arc's voice, its gaze focused on the communication ring.
Gravis felt some form of sense stretch to the communication ring, and a cold shudder ran down his spine.
BANG!
Gravis destroyed the communication ring!
Gravis didn't know what the Sin Monster could do, but he wouldn't take any chances. What if it could remember Arc's voice or aura? What if it could find Arc via the communication ring?
When the ring was destroyed, the Sin Monster lost interest and looked at Gravis again.
Then, it started to slowly fly towards Gravis.
A shudder ran down Gravis' spine.
He had no idea what the Sin Monster would do. Even more, he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it.
His life was in the hands of the Sin Monster.
If it wanted to kill him, he would die.
Gravis was not in control of his life right now.
At the side, Mortis gritted his teeth.
Then, Mortis stepped between Gravis and the Sin Monster.
Gravis' mind shook in horror.
However, he understood what Mortis was doing.
Mortis had to try what the Sin Monster would do to him.
As insurance, Mortis had already created a clone.
When the Sin Monster reached Mortis, it simply moved around him. It was like Mortis was just part of the environment.
Mortis moved to Gravis and touched him.
The Sin Monster still ignored him.
Then, Mortis summoned some God Stones and gave them to Gravis.
The Sin Monster still ignored him.
It was like Mortis didn't exist in its mind.
After several more experiments, Mortis knew that he could still help Gravis.
This was valuable input! This meant that Mortis could act as an intermediary between Gravis and the world.
Mortis didn't have a Sin Aura around him since he was only Gravis' Star.
This meant that he wasn't the target of the Sin Monsters, and it also meant that he could interact with Cultivators.
After that, Mortis went back to the Sin Monster and stopped before it.
When the Sin Monster tried to go around Mortis, Mortis moved with it. He remained between the Sin Monster and Gravis.
The Sin Monster continued trying to go around Mortis.
Yet, after a couple of attempts, the Sin Monster stopped trying to go around Mortis.
Instead, it moved towards Mortis.
Mortis gritted his teeth and watched the Sin Monster.
When the Sin Monster reached Mortis' body, it simply created a hole.
Its dense Force of Death canceled out all the Energy along its path. Mortis was made of Heavenly Lightning, but Heavenly Lightning was also made of Energy.
The Sin Monster didn't care what form of Energy was in front of it. Death canceled out all forms of Energy.
The Sin Monster slowly passed through Mortis, leaving a hole behind.
Mortis frowned as he looked at the hole in his torso. The hole had been created with the Law of Death, which meant that it was impossible to heal it without the True Law of Life.
BZZ!
Mortis transformed into Heavenly Lightning and transformed back.
