Female Novel
Chapter 169
It took four full hours until Gravis was able to teach Skye about its current situation. Thinking and planning far into the future wassomething incredibly difficult for beasts, yet Skye managed to understand. It might actually be the only beast that knew aboutsuch concepts in this lower world.
After Gravis finished explaining, he just looked at Skye with sad eyes. After understanding its situation, Skye looked back atGravis, unsure what to think. After some seconds, it just rubbed its head on Gravis.
Gravis scratched Skye with a bitter smile. "I know that it's difficult to accept, but | know that you want to become strong," he said."| know that you wouldn't be happy like this. Don't think about me, but about yourself.”
Skye didn't react much. Gravis and Skye had been together for multiple months by now, and it understood Gravis’ emotions. Itmight not have the mental faculties to plan far into the future, but beasts were good at feeling the emotions of others.
It knew how lonely Gravis was. It always felt happy when Gravis smiled at it with a pure, innocent smile, and it was the only livingbeing in this lower world that knew this side of Gravis. It understood that it couldn't rise to power while following Gravis, but itdidn't want Gravis to feel lonely.
Beasts were simple. When they saw one of their companions being sad, they tried their best to comfort them. Skye was nodifferent. It wanted to comfort and help Gravis through those tough times.
Gravis gently pushed Skye's head away. "I know that you want to stay and that you don't want me to feel lonely, but is it worth itto sacrifice your future? You will forever regret it, and if | die, you will die too. | don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me," Gravisexplained calmly.
Of course, he only tried to appear calm. In reality, he was hurting inside. Even though he knew that this was the best for Skye, itstill hurt him inside. He didn't want to say goodbye, but there was no other way. He didn't want Skye to just be an accessory tohim. It should be its own beast, with its own strength, and not a simple pet. Skye could only truly be happy if it were independent.
Gravis’ calm voice didn't fool Skye. It knew Gravis well enough to know how he felt. Its instincts were telling it to help him, so itwent closer to Gravis again.
Woosh!
Gravis jumped back from Skye. "Skye, you need to leave," he said with seriousness. "By sticking with me, you won't be able to
truly be happy. You must leave!" Gravis' voice was a little shaky when he said that, but he had to be the strong one now. If Skye
didn't have the willpower to leave due to emotions, then he had to force it, even if it hurt him immensely inside.
Skye looked at Gravis with sad eyes. It understood the implications of staying with Gravis, but it just couldn't resist when it sawhow hurt Gravis was. It felt the conflict and frustration inside Gravis. Gravis was its companion and best friend, so it didn't wanthim to feel sad. Slowly, it walked closer again.

A violent lightning bolt hit the earth in front of Skye. It got frightened a little and took a step back. This lightning bolt was powerfulenough to injure it severely. It looked at Gravis with shock and pain. Why was Gravis doing this? Wasn't this its own decision tomake?
"Skye, you need to leave!" Gravis shouted aggressively. "| won't allow you to sacrifice your future for me!"
Skye shook a little when it saw that. It felt deep unwillingness inside, and it didn't want to leave Gravis. Slowly, it walked towardsGravis again.

An apocalyptic pressure pressed into Skye, and it started fearing for its life. In the past, it had only passively been inside Gravis’Will-Aura, but now, Gravis' Will-Aura looked at Skye like an enemy. In Skye's mind, a deathly iciness spread from Gravis into thesurroundings. Its instincts were screaming at Skye to flee. Its instincts told it that it had to leave or it would die. Skye feltbetrayed. Its closest companion was showing killing intent towards it.
"LEAVE!" Gravis shouted violently with all his power, and the surroundings shook even more. Skye's body shook in fear. Afterbreaking into the ninth level of Energy Gathering, Gravis’ Will-Aura had destroyed any level suppression. If Gravis released itfully, he would be able to knock Skye unconscious.
Of course, Gravis didn't release his full power. He wanted Skye to leave by itself. He wanted it to realize how serious thesituation was. It would feel regret for the rest of its life if it continued following him. He wouldn't allow this to happen!
Skye looked at Gravis with a mixture of confusion, sadness, unwillingness, betrayal, and even some pity. Even though Gravistried to appear as heartless and aggressive as possible, he couldn't fool Skye. It knew him too well. It didn't leave and onlyimplored Gravis to reconsider with its eyes.
