Chapter 199
Gravis looked as the two experts grew more and more panicked. Sadly, the earth was stalwart and would not bend. Of course,sad for them, lucky for him. Gravis wouldn't want them to just give up and run away. He had more things to test!
Step. Step. Step.
Gravis moved closer again, and the two experts’ anxiety grew. They were running out of ideas. They couldn't think of any way towin. The power difference was just too vast!
Gravis walked until he stood two meters away from them. "How about this?" Gravis asked. "You can attack me once with yourspear. | promise that | won't dodge or block. | wanna test something."
The eyes of the two experts shot open in shock. Not dodging or blocking? Wasn't this just suicide? The further the fightprogressed, the more confused they grew. Wasn't Gravis taking them too lightly? They were in the same Realm, after all.
“You won't break your word?" asked the Vice-Guild Master from the back.Gravis nodded. "I won't. You can unleash one attack, and | won't block or dodge."
The Guild Master looked at the Vice-Guild Master and nodded solemnly. "| don't know what he's planning, but | doubt that he willbreak his promise. Also, don't kill him. We have no life and death enmity, yet. If his plan succeeds and he has seen that you triedto kill him, we might actually die. This guy said that no one would die today. Remember?"
The Vice-Guild Master sent an affirmative answer back. The chances of killing Gravis were not 100%, and if this strike wouldn'tkill him, they would most likely die. They had to stay cautious and not create a life and death enmity.
The Vice-Guild Master readied himself for a strike and infused a whole 30% of his Energy into the spear. The spear's weightbecame impossibly high, yet the Vice-Guild Master, as the manipulator, didn't feel it. Since his weapon was infused with hisSpirit, he could ignore the added weight. If that weren't the case, he wouldn't even be able to lift his weapon.novelbin
The Vice-Guild Master pulled back his spear, ready to strike. Then, with all his power, he shot his spear forward.SHING!
The eyes of the two experts widened in disbelief. The spear had stabbed through something alright, but it was not Gravis. Theylooked at the spear, as it stabbed diagonally into the earth below Gravis. What had happened?
Gravis smiled. "It works, hehe," he laughed.What had Gravis done?
When they had both attacked him earlier, Gravis was surprised by the power of their strikes. He knew that they didn’t havebodies at the Spirit Forming Realm, yet their attacks had been nearly as powerful as a physical attack of someone with such abody. By then, Gravis had thought about the usage of earth.
The Earth Guild was able to temper and compact materials. How did they do that? Gravis had thought about that and thought ofa possibility. The only way they were able to release such powerful attacks without having such a powerful body was that theyhad somewhat influenced their weapons. It probably had something to do with the weapon's weight.
Gravis also remembered how he could manipulate his weapon with magnetism. So, why not use the magnetism to manipulatethe weapon of his enemy? He had to test that! Of course, there was a gamble in trying that. If the weapons were not affected bymagnetism, his planned method wouldn't work.
If his plan didn't work, he would have just released his Will-Aura. They would be unable to move then. And even if the weapon hithim, as long as he didn't die instantly, he could just heal himself with his Life Lightning. Gravis had never been in danger.
So, what exactly did Gravis do?
When the Vice-Guild Master had pushed forward with his strike, Gravis summoned a lot of lightning on his feet, creating amagnetic field. The weapon moving forward got influenced by the magnetic field and changed its trajectory. The stab changedfrom a horizontal one into one going diagonally down. If his opponent had been prepared for that, he might have been able tocounteract the magnetic pull. "Luckily", he wasn't.
Gravis also realized that, due to the added weight, this method was even more effective. The cultivators of the Earth Guild,obviously, weren't affected by their weapon's weight. Yet, when an external force pulled on the increased weight, that didn'tmatter since it affected the increased weight, not the base one. It could be summarized into one stupid phrase: The more spearthere was, the more magnetism affected it.
If the spear hadn't been that heavy, the trajectory might have only been lowered slightly. In that case, it would have probablystabbed through Gravis' abdomen. Yet, that also didn't matter. He could just release his Will-Aura, retreat, and then heal himself.
"Luckily", everything went according to plan. What was even better was that Gravis didn't even use any Energy. The lightninghad never left his feet. He just reabsorbed it into his dantian when he was finished.
The two experts were still absolutely shocked by what just happened. After some seconds, the Guild Master finally figured outwhat had happened. "Magnetism," he sent to the Vice-Guild Master, who then also understood what had transpired just now.
They had never fought anyone from the Lightning Guild, so they hadn't known that one could utilize lightning like this. By now,they lost all hope of winning. Yet, their unbending temperament didn't allow them to concede.
"Thank you for your cooperation,” said Gravis with a smile. "We will now commence with the next test. Please put all your powerinto defending. If you don't, you might actually die." Then, Gravis jumped back so that he was at a distance of 50 meters again.
The two experts quickly went back into a defensive position. The Vice-Guild Master didn't even ready his weapon anymore. Hehad been gifted a free shot and still hadn't been able to hit Gravis. There was no point in readying his weapon anymore. He justbraced himself for impact and supported the Guild Master from behind. This next attack could only be more powerful than theprevious ones if Gravis warned them.
"I'll begin now," Gravis commented from a distance. After Gravis had tested some things, he had gotten even more ideas. Theclose-range explosion of his lightning spear made him realize that he could absorb part of his own attack, cutting the costsignificantly. On top of that, his body wouldn't get injured, even if he made his lightning explode all at once inside him. This gavehim a great idea.
BZZ BOOOM!
Gravis used his body's fullacceleration to move forward, yetalso concentrated lightning into hisfeet. He had gathered round 39% ofhis ligh iNg intetlis￥s , and whenheturs torward with his body, hemade the lightning on his feetexplode too. Half of the lightning wasimmediately reabsorbed, while theother half exploded into the earth,accelerating his body even more. Hisinstantaneous acceleration wasunreal. The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

In the blink of an eye, he reached his opponents before they could even react. If he hadn't told them to ready themselves, theywould've been completely open right now. When he arrived, Gravis kicked the shield with a flying kick.
BZZ BOOM!
Just like he had used the lightning in his feet to explode as a means for faster acceleration, he now used the lightning in his feetto augment his kick. His speed, physical power, and lightning exploded all at once onto the shield.
CRACK!
The shield got obliterated into manyfragments, some of them shootinginto the body of the Guild Masterbehind it: Thasauhde he explosionrdverberated for kilometers,destroying many trees in the process.The two experts flew for over half akilometer, several bones alreadybroken.

With this instantaneous acceleration and additional kick, Gravis had used around 20% of his whole lightning. This was thesecond most powerful attack Gravis could make, only surpassed by concentrating lightning into his weapon.
Meanwhile, the two experts landed,throwing up multiple mouthfuls of

Gravis saw this and nodded. "Alright," he transmitted to them, "I'm finished! I'll be going to the Earth Guild now. Bye!"
The two people were too preoccupied with the states of their bodies to care about that. They had nearly died. The only thing ontheir mind was surviving right now.
They were only happy that this nightmare was finally over.
