Gravis scratched his chin as he looked at Morus. He honestly had totally forgotten him. With Morus’ new mindset, he wouldn’t dare to speak up by himself without having a good reason to, which made him remain silent at a distance.
"Have you watched for the past 95 years?" Gravis asked Morus.
"Yes, Master," Morus said deferentially.
"Did you, at least, learn sothing?" Gravis asked.
Morus nodded. "I have learned a lot about the Laws, Master. Your mastering of the Laws has given insights into my own Laws. Your continual creation of heat, especially, taught a lot more about fire and how to use it."
Gravis sighed. "Man, and I nearly had a bad conscience about boring you for so long. But, hey, it’s good that you learned sothing during that ti. Yet, I don’t want to unnecessarily bore you," Gravis said as he fell into thought.
After so seconds, a light gleam appeared inside Gravis’ eyes.
"Morus," Gravis said with authority.
"Master!" Morus said, realizing that Gravis had an order.
"Join the war from the side of the land beasts’ camp and beco a level three Emperor," Gravis ordered.
"I will, Master," Morus said as he imdiately shot away into the distance. He didn’t dare question his Master’s orders.
Gravis rubbed his chin in satisfaction as he set another plan into motion. ’This will beco interesting,’ he thought.
Then, he turned back to the Grand Lake. ’I should continue with the Law of Heat,’ Gravis thought.
And sure enough, Gravis went back to creating more heat.
15 years later. Gravis had been in seclusion for 120 years, his longest seclusion yet.
BOOOOM!
’Finally!’ Gravis thought with excitent. It had taken him a full 45 years to understand the Law of Heat, but in the end, he succeeded. Another level two Law was added to the ever-growing pile.
’This will be of so help,’ Gravis thought. ’With this Law, I can weaken soone else. The heat will make it difficult for my enemy to regenerate themselves, and they need to continually keep their defenses up. At least, that’s how it would go against soone three levels above . In order to use that Law effectively against soone four levels above , I would need to keep them weakened with my other Composition Laws.’
’Sadly, keeping this Law running requires Energy, which is not a resource that I can use lightly in such a terrifying fight. So, I guess that this Law won’t help that much, actually. Yet...’ Gravis thought as he trailed off, his gaze wandering to the sky.
Then, Gravis shook his head wildly. ’No! Not yet! One thing after the other. Let’s first finish the other Mixed Elental Laws. After that, I can take a look at the more exotic Laws,’ Gravis thought as he smirked.
’Only the Mixed Laws involving lightning remain. This will be very fun!’ Gravis thought.
BZZZZZ!
Gravis summoned so lightning in his hand and gathered so earth in the other. Then, he pushed them together, which was the sa way he had learned about the Law of Liquid tal.
CRRRR!
And the stone broke apart as it was destroyed by the lightning.
First, Gravis frowned, but then he realized the issue. ’Punishnt Lightning is a level three Law while this is only the most normal kind of earth, which represents a level one Law. My Punishnt Lightning is too powerful for a fusion.’
Gravis smirked. ’Well, I already understand the Composition Law of Lightning, so I can just use Destruction Lightning,’ Gravis thought.
BZZZZ!
The Punishnt Lightning transford into Destruction Lightning as Gravis pushed the two things together once again.
CRRRR!
Sure enough, this ti, the stone wasn’t destroyed. Instead, the stone started to change subtly. After so seconds, all the lightning vanished as the stone remained.
Yet, with Gravis’ affinity towards lightning, he could still feel the lightning. Currently, the lightning was inside the stone. However, the stone exhibited no sign of having lightning inside of it.
Gravis scratched his chin as he inspected the stone. The lightning was inside the stone, but the stone was not hurt in any way. This was quite surprising to him since the power of the two components had been about the sa. With Destruction Lightning’s destructive nature, the stone should have turned to dust. Yet, it remained unhard.
Gravis grabbed the stone and threw it at a mountain.
BOOOOOM!
The stone exploded, and with it, an explosion of lightning suddenly appeared. There hadn’t been much Energy inside the two components, which didn’t make the explosion powerful enough to destroy the mountain, but it made quite a big hole.
Gravis’ eyes shone when he saw that. ’That’s useful!’ he thought with excitent. ’I can think of so uses for that. I could throw a lot of normal stones with so of these stones mixed in-between. My opponent won’t be able to feel the lightning inside of it and will be quite surprised when one of the stones suddenly explodes with lightning.’
Yet, even though Gravis found sothing rather exciting, he only sighed. ’Sadly, I can’t use Punishnt Lightning in the fusion. Even if I transform all my Punishnt Lightning into Destruction Lightning and use all of it at once, it wouldn’t even scratch my opponent. The power of Destruction Lightning is simply too weak.’
’Wait a second. I wonder...’ Gravis thought as he grabbed another stone.
BZZZ!
Then, Gravis did the sa thing again, but with Life Lightning. Sadly, the Life Lightning only made the stone harder, for so reason. It didn’t actually get saved in the stone like Destruction Lightning.
’That’s boring,’ Gravis thought with a frown. ’Even if I continually infuse this stone with Life Lightning for years, it will only beco harder. Sure, I could maybe create sothing even harder than my weapons, but stone is not as flexible as tal. As soon as I strike soone once with the stone, it will just splinter.’
Gravis crossed his arms in an evaluating expression. ’I an, it could be useful to transfer my brute force to sothing else over a distance, but my power is not nearly enough to injure an opponent I actually care about with that. It can basically just count as a slightly more powerful punch with a longer range.’
Gravis had to chuckle as a funny image appeared inside his head. ’Honestly, being able to save Life Lightning into a stone would have been way too funny. Just imagine throwing a stone at the head of one of your companions to heal them. That would be the most passive-aggressive way of healing a companion.’
’Anyway, enough of that. I should try to comprehend this weird kind of loaded earth or loaded stone,’ Gravis thought.
Gravis spent the next three years comprehending the stone, and surely enough, it didn’t take as long as the other Laws.
BOOOOM!
’As I’ve thought,’ Gravis thought with a smirk. ’As soon as sothing involves lightning, it’s far easier for to understand. This was my fastest Law yet ever since I entered my seclusion.’
Then, Gravis grabbed so tal and did the sa thing with tal and lightning.
After one try, Gravis saw the result, which was just a piece of tal that had lightning saved inside of it.
Gravis’ brows furrowed. ’Wait, isn’t that just the sa as the runes I use on my equipnt to make it store lightning?’
BOOOOM!
Gravis blinked a couple of tis. ’Sure enough, it’s just the sa thing. So, I was basically already using this Law without knowing it, huh? Well, now I know, I guess.’
In order to learn this Law, Gravis had only needed a couple of seconds. This was, by far, his fastest Law yet.
’Wonder if the other ones will also co so quickly.’
