Female Novel
Chapter 137
Gravis went out of the forest, still thinking about the whole thing. Logically, he knew that he couldn't have changed anythingabout the situation. He had to keep up his disguise, and he also needed power. Her willingness to die actually only had positivesfrom a result-oriented standpoint. Yet, logic and feelings rarely agreed with each other. Even though he knew, logically, that hecouldn't do anything about it, his feelings were still screaming at him.
As Gravis continued walking, he looked up into the sky through the leaves of the trees. "Is this the only way to acquire strengthand freedom?" he asked himself. "Am | required to act like this to become truly free? Do | want to crush the hopes and dreams ofcountless other people just so | can realize mine?"
Gravis knew that he had already killed many people and that he already crushed a lot of dreams. Yet, enemies were enemies,and companions were companions. If someone tried to kill you, you wouldn't feel as bad about killing them as if you killed acompanion. The emotions would grow distant, and one wouldn't think much about what they had done. Yet, the current situationwas gnawing at him. To him, it felt like he had betrayed someone to gain more power, even though he knew that that wasn't true.
After a while, Gravis met the three guards, and when they saw him coming out of the forest, they sighed. The fact that Graviswas casually walking out of the woods meant that his mission was complete. They felt bad for their junior sister, but there wasnothing they could do.
“Let's go," said Gravis to them, and one of them turned around to lead the way, while the other two went inside the forest toretrieve the body. The guard and Gravis quickly reached the guild again, and Gravis stopped in front of its gates. Initially, he hadintended to stay here for a while so Skye could talk more with its parent, but with Wendy's father being a Vice-Guild Master andwith this whole emotional situation, his mood changed.
Gravis looked at the gigantic tree where the two birds currently stood and whistled. Skye turned its head to him and then back toits parent. The parent looked a little sad for a second, but then roughly shoved Skye away with a serious caw. Skye gave onelast rub to its parent, which promptly shoved it again.
Skye said its goodbyes, picked up Gravis, and then flew away into the horizon. There was no sense in saying goodbye to theWind Guild. It was not Gravis' home, and even though he liked it here, he couldn't remain. Short goodbyes were easier foreveryone.
Skye flew for a couple of days, and Gravis used the time to think more about his eventual, reckless plan. It was incrediblydangerous, but if it worked, he could get a unique advantage. This might be the only chance he would have to actually becomestrong enough to damage Heaven, later down the line. He had to prepare early for his eventual showdown with this lowerHeaven.
Gravis took out the jade token that Wendy had handed him and thought about the whole situation. ‘I have no karmic luck, andHeaven doesn't grant me any opportunities or special chances, but father told me that we can steal the karmic luck of others. Letthem get their chances and then just take them away. Although this couldn't be considered stealing, Wendy getting herinheritance was probably due to karmic luck. So, all in all, | benefited from the luck of others.’
Yet, it took all of Wendy's power to meet him. She wanted to hand over her karmic luck, and she still had to work hard to meethim. If others didn't want to give up their luck, then it would be difficult for Gravis to get it since Heaven was constantly up in hisbusiness.
Gravis put the jade token away and changed his focus to cultivation while Skye continued flying into the direction of the HeavenSect. Like this, a couple of days passed.
Some days later.
Aion looked through the bag and counted the Energy Stones. When he finished, he nodded. "Looks good. Well done," he said ashe put the bag away. He then looked at the jade token, which had the Formation Array that could imprison anyone in the EnergyGathering Realm and threw it back at Gravis.
Gravis' eyes widened in surprise, and he caught it. "You can keep it," said Aion as he stretched himself. "Everyone in the HeavenSect has at least one. | just forgot yours."
Gravis smiled bitterly and put the jade token away, but didn't leave. Aion noticed and furrowed his brows. "What's up?" he asked.
‘Well, let's see if this works. This sounds incredibly stupid, but it should work,’ thought Gravis as he readied himself for thefollowing conversation.
"So," he started. "We can't exchange Magic-Stones for Mission Points, right?” he asked.
Aion lifted a brow. "Yes?" he confirmed, not sure what Gravis’ goal was.
“But we also have a job where someone has to exchange the gold for Magic-Stones, right?" asked Gravis."Yeees?" confirmed Aion.
"Could you tell me, how many Mission Points does the exchange of one Magic-Stone give in that mission?"
Aion scratched the side of his head, trying to think about what Gravis was up to. "One exchanged Magic-Stone is ten MissionPoints," Aion said.novelbin
Now, it was finally time for Gravis to get to the point. "So, when | switch jobs for a minute and then exchange my Magic-Stonesfor our gold, | can get Mission Points, right?" Gravis asked.
Aion's hand froze, and his brain started going wild. The more he thought about the situation, the stupider it seemed. It wasimpossible to exchange Energy Stones for Mission Points, but it was possible to exchange Energy Stones for Mission Points andgold? What's even the sense in that?
Then, Aion started scratching his chin in thought. "Man, | really screwed up when creating this system," he mumbled whilethinking. "Though, exchanging it for gold would make it easier on our storage. Man, the more | think about it, the stupider all thisseems.”
While Aion continued thinking, Gravis hoped that his choice was correct. Wendy had given Gravis a lot of Energy Stones, and hecould break through multiple levels with those. Those stones could make him nearly invincible in the Middle-Continent, yet, withwealth came decisions.
He could sharply raise his Realm, andthat would save time, but is savingtime good? Not always. In this,aase,Gravis ichskip's levels, andhewould also skip possibletempering experiences on thoselevels.

If he decided to use the stones for cultivation, he would sacrifice relative battle strength for a sharp rise in actual strength. Yet, incomparison to now, his relative strength against people in the same Realm would be weaker than now.
The foundation was most important to Gravis, and even if Gravis could skip straight to the Unity Realm, he wouldn't. He might beable to damage Heaven and return, but then what? He would have immense problems in the middle world. This was basicallykilling the chicken to get the egg.
