Female Novel
Chapter 147
Acouple of seconds after Gravis had killed the last disciple, the defense line parted for a new disciple to step forward. Thisobviously showed that the disciples of the Fire Guild approved of this opponent. Gravis looked at the new arrival, and his eyesnarrowed. ‘Ninth level of Energy Gathering,” he concluded. ‘Now, the real fight begins.’
The disciple stepped forward and looked at Gravis in rage. "Why did you kill the last two?" he asked with anger. "They havealready lost all their will to fight and only wanted to flee."
Gravis' expression didn't change. "If | let them live just because they gave up, this wouldn't be genuine life and death temperinganymore," Gravis answered. "You can't just run from a fight and expect that your enemy doesn't attack anymore. At least, youhave to survive until you are safe."
The new arrival narrowed his eyes too. "Your reasoning is sound, but that is only if you don't have any compassion for the livesof others. | couldn't do what you just did, because | am not an emotionless monster," he explained with disgust.
The statement didn't impact Gravis’ will. Obviously, the new arrival hadn't gone through experiences where sparing an enemy'slife came back to bite him in the ass, compared to Gravis. Gravis had spared his enemies’ lives two times, and both times astronger force returned to kill him. Gravis didn't like being this cruel, but it was a necessity for survival.
WHOOSH PACK!
Gravis caught a pill bottle and looked at it. His eyes shone when he saw the pill because it was one of the more expensive oneson the banner. Gravis looked up and nodded at the new arrival.
SHING!novelbin
For the first time today, Gravis took out his saber and readied it. His enemy was at the ninth level of Energy Gathering. Hisenemy had a genuine chance of killing Gravis if Gravis took him lightly. The breathing of the onlookers quickened, and their eyesnarrowed. This would be the first real fight!
The disciple also took out his weapon, which was a humongous halberd. Gravis looked closer at the halberd, and his eyesnarrowed even further. ‘This halberd looks incredibly heavy. Either this guy uses a special fighting method that requires such aheavy halberd, or he also trains his body. Judging by the expensive pill he threw at me, it is probably the later.’
BOOM!
The earth under the disciple exploded as he shot forward with incredible speed. Gravis was already prepared for such speed. Astrong body not only increased attack and defense but also speed. The disciple lifted his halberd and readied himself to strike.
BOOM!
The earth under Gravis also exploded as he shot forward. The eyes of the attacker slightly widened. He knew that Gravis had apowerful body, but he had expected Gravis to stay on his spot, like all the other times he had fought. Yet, the disciple didn't losehis focus, and he quickly slammed his weapon down.
BOOM!
Gravis blocked the slash, and the earth under him exploded into many pieces that shot into the distance. Gravis' arms trembleddue to the powerful force of the attack. Usually, he wouldn't passively block like this, but he had to find out how powerful hisopponent's body was.
'He uses a heavier weapon than me, and he also had the initiative in the attack. Judging by the power, his body should be ataround the sixth level. My lightning won't be able to kill him directly without sufficient Energy. Quite impressive," Gravis thought.
Suddenly, the attacker smiled ferociously, and Gravis saw fire building up on the halberd. This was the same move that the guywith the Will-Aura had used previously. That guy had only been at the seventh level of Energy Gathering, while this one was atthe ninth. The power of this explosion would be quadruple of the power of the earlier guy. Gravis had to do something, or hewould get injured severely.
BZZ BOOM!
In a split-second decision, Gravis used his lightning to detonate the fire before it could reach its highest density, weakening theexplosion. Gravis got thrown to the ground by the explosion, and the top of his head, as well as his back, received severe burns.Due to the explosion, Gravis got pushed into the ground until he lay face-down on the earth.
On the other hand, the disciple wasn't prepared for the early explosion and hadn't readied himself yet. Because of theshockwave of the explosion, he got thrown back for a couple of meters but remained uninjured. He quickly got his bearings backand looked at Gravis, who was lying on the ground right now and readied himself for another attack.
BANG!
The earth under the disciple exploded as a thick mass of lightning shot towards his right leg. The disciple screamed in pain anddecided to jump back, instead of attacking. This attack had come out of nowhere, and he had not seen any lightning creepingacross the floor. How did Gravis manage to bring his lightning over to him?
Gravis had, of course, used his Elemental Synchronicity to create a tunnel for his lightning. Like this, the enemy wouldn't see thelightning creeping towards him. Gravis knew that his enemy's body was powerful, so he had used a full 20% of his whole Energyreserves in this one attack. If he didn't commit fully to this attack, he wouldn't be able to leave a heavy injury on his opponent.
The disciple landed a couple more meters away and looked at his leg. The colors black and red dominated his leg, and thedisciple felt that it was incredibly difficult for him to use his injured leg. His eyes narrowed, and his teeth clenched. This will betroublesome!
BOOM!
Gravis had noticed how the focus of his opponent had shifted to his leg and used this opportunity to stand up and shoot towardshis opponent. The explosion came from Gravis, shooting himself forward with all his power. Gravis' back and head might beinjured, but that didn't impact his fighting ability much. Those were only superficial injuries spread over a big surface.
The disciple quickly looked forward again and noticed that Gravis was only three meters in front of him, bursting with lightning.Gravis was readying himself for a mighty overhead strike. The disciple's eyes shrunk to pinpricks due to the shock, and hequickly tried to block the swing with his halberd.
Gravis smiled in disdain. ‘Idiot,’ he said in his mind. The saber came down at the halberd.
Clank.
Only a quiet clank rang out as thehalberd threw the saber away intothe distance. Yet, the disciple wouldhave preferred a ie pore averithisquiet claghc Soret ing was not right!His eyes quickly went from the saberto Gravis, as he felt two warm handstouch his chest. The disciple's eyeswidened in shock, panic, and fear ashe looked into Gravis' smiling face,just 30 centimeters in front of hisown. "Bye!" he heard Gravis say. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org!

BOOM!
Gravis’ two hands released over 40% of his Energy storage into the chest of the disciple, completely incinerating everything infront of them. Earlier, Gravis made the disciple fully focus on this saber, and then simply ducked under the raised halberd andarms.
Gravis had called the disciple an idiotbecause blocking was often thewrong decision. If the disciple hadthe guts to put his Naa) the linerhewould veyoqunteratt Cked with oneofhlg own slashes. Like this, if Graviswent through with the attack, hewould be killed, while the disciple, ifhe moved his head slightly, would atmost lose an arm.

The disciple fell over onto his back, and his eyes looked with shock into the sky. All the organs in his chest had been completelyobliterated, and there was no way for him to survive. Slowly, his consciousness disappeared, never to reappear again.
The onlookers had watched the fight with shock. Someone at the sixth level of Energy Gathering had actually killed someone atthe ninth. Not even the geniuses of legends had been able to do that! They could barely believe their eyes, as fear took hold ofthem. This was insane!
Gravis only had a single healing pill,which had been a spoil from one ofthe earlier disciples fighting him.Since the injury ae jrjpactibis ||

Gravis smirked as he threw the body over to Skye. Then, he dusted his robe off and took back his weapon, which had beenthrown far away by the disciple's block. Of course, Gravis also took the halberd with him, sticking it into the ground near his usualspot. Gravis walked back to his spot, turned around to look at the audience, and spoke.
"Next!"
