Chapter 1209 - 1209 – Proof Of Power (1/2)
”Impossible, huh?” Gravis said. ”And how is it impossible?”
The Vice-Sect Master looked at Gravis with a solemn expression. He couldn't feel Gravis' Battle-Strength, but he obviously didn't believe that Gravis was only an average level one Ancestral God. After all, Gravis even managed to partially suppress him, the Vice-Sect Master.
The Vice-Sect Master wasn't stupid, and he knew that the only reason why he couldn't feel Gravis' Battle-Strength was that Gravis' Battle-Strength was already in a different world to his.
Could Gravis fight the Vice-Sect Master?
Logically, something like this should be impossible. It simply wasn't reasonable to assume that mere Battle-Strength could overcome a 4,096-fold increase in physical power and Energy.
It was ridiculous.
No matter how experienced in combat a newborn baby was, it couldn't kill a grown adult.
Yet, the Vice-Sect Master knew that Gravis wasn't stupid. Reaching such ridiculous heights in Battle-Strength couldn't be possible with a stupid mind.
So then, if Gravis were smart, why was he doing this?
The answer could only be confidence.
Because of that, the Vice-Sect Master could only accept that Gravis might actually prove to be a danger.
However, he had to uphold the prestige of the Eternal Fire Sect.
”Rules are rules, and we can't make any exceptions,” the Vice-Sect Master said with a deep voice. ”We can't allow a mere level one Ancestral God to walk all over the dignity of the Eternal Fire Sect. In your case, the rules are even more important since you are an even greater danger than a normal Ancestral God.”
”Additionally, you should realize that the only reason why I haven't directly executed you for your obvious disrespect towards the Eternal Fire Sect is that you could deliberately target the Sect before your death.”
”If we were outside, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now,” the Vice-Sect Master said with narrowed eyes.
Gravis only looked into the narrowed eyes of the Vice-Sect Master.
”Do you realize that the feeling is mutual to some degree?” Gravis slowly asked.
The aura of the Vice-Sect Master became colder.
”My friends are part of the Eternal Fire Sect, and they call it their home. I obviously do not want to kill their colleagues and friends.”
”But if you were someone that wasn't from the Eternal Fire Sect…”
”I could use some tempering right now.”
The atmosphere between Gravis and the Vice-Sect Master became increasingly tense, and the other two people only looked on nervously.
They believed that their Vice-Sect Master could kill this arrogant man, but what if that arrogant man attacked them out of anger? Wouldn't they die?
The Vice-Sect Master became increasingly angry, and his aura became even colder.
By now, he was honestly debating attacking Gravis.
”You don't believe me?” Gravis asked slowly. ”Let me show you some proof.”
BANG!
Suddenly, the Vice-Sect Master took out his spear and stabbed towards his left. A relatively small but very concentrated explosion of Blaze and Hurricane appeared. Obviously, the Vice-Sect Master knew the level eight Law of Blazing Hurricane, a Mixed Element.
The eyes of the Vice-Sect Master looked at the spot he had just struck, but nothing appeared. Then, he turned to Gravis with hate-filled eyes.
However, deep inside his eyes was also shock.
Why had the Vice-Sect Master suddenly struck empty air?
Because his Major Law of Danger had warned him.
It had told him that he was about to be attacked by a very powerful attack.
What had happened?
It was Mortis.
As soon as Gravis had noticed that a fight might break out, he had called Mortis. Just now, Mortis had intended to attack the Vice-Sect Master with a Lightning Crescent after becoming tangible again.
In order to trigger the Law of Danger, one had to unleash an attack with the intention to kill.
So, if the Vice-Sect Master hadn't reacted appropriately, a Lightning Crescent would have consumed him.
