Female Novel
Chapter 278
Complete darkness surrounded Gravis. His Spirit was cut off from the outside world, and his eyes were closed. He also ignoredeverything that he heard. After all, he had to walk forward without any distractions. He only opened his eyes and Spirit for a splitsecond every couple of seconds to see if he was still inside the Illusion Array.
While walking forward, Gravis swung his saber continually to destroy everything before him. He couldn't risk touching a tree rightnow. If he did, his lightning would unload into nothingness.
His heart pumped quickly. It wasn't because of nervousness, but because of excitement. He could see and feel nothing while oneenemy at the Tree Stage and, at least, five enemies at the Sapling Stage watched him. Any one of those could attack himsuddenly.
Gravis felt extremely close to death right now. Walking blind around an area where an enemy could strike him created wavesinside his mind. This sensation alone was good tempering for him. Even if the others didn't attack him, in his mind, he wouldhave still gone through a life and death crisis. Perception was everything when it came to the tempering of one's will.
BANG!
10% of his lightning unloaded again. This time, Gravis felt his lightning unload itself via his leg. He also quickly felt around 10%of his lightning regenerating. Apparently, he had just killed someone at the Seed Stage.
BANG!Another unload from the same leg, and another wave of Energy entered his body.BANG!
And again. Gravis was quite surprised by the disciples’ willingness to throw their lives away, but he quickly thought of a reason.Some of the disciples probably made a pact where they decided to exhaust Gravis. After all, every single lightning strike costEnergy, and Gravis couldn't possibly have an infinite amount of that.novelbin
He also guessed that Byron had probably offered that gamble. He probably said something along the lines of that any disciplethat managed to injure him would get some powerful weapon or something similar.
BANG!And again!BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Six more unloads came in rapid succession, and every bang resulted in the death of one disciple at the Seed Stage. One had toknow that cultivators at the Seed Stage weren't rare, but also not abundant. From the around 1,100 Spirit Forming disciples inthe Lightning Sect, only around 150 were in the Seed Stage. The others were all in the initial stage.
Gravis guessed that the Darkness Sect probably had even less of those. After all, they didn't temper themselves as crazily as theFire or Lightning Sect. Gravis guessed that he had probably killed around 10% of all their Seed Stage disciples.
After that, no more unloads came. The disciples had probably seen that Gravis had killed ten of the Seed Stage disciples anddecided against taking the gamble.
BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!
An avalanche of unloads appeared around Gravis, and he quickly widened his eyes as he realized several things. The unloadsdidn't come from a single point of his body but form all over him at random spots. On top of that, every single unload didn't givehim 10% of his Energy back, but only 5%. This could only mean one thing!
‘The elders are throwing disciples at the initial stage at me to exhaust me!’ Gravis realized with anger. He didn't mind killingweaker people that attacked him, but it was something different when an elder threw their own disciples to their deaths.
Gravis deactivated his lightning and felt a lot of bodies hitting and burying him. The impacts weren't attacks or punches, but justbodies colliding with him. After a lot of bodies hit him, Gravis threw everything to the side with all his power. His physical bodywas very powerful, and the invisible pile of bodies got shot into the distance. Then, Gravis immediately reactivated his lightningand increased the power to 30%!
BOOM!
Gravis felt a huge amount of lightning leaving his body. Yet, surprisingly, no Energy came back. Instead, the world crumbledapart. As soon as Gravis noticed that something was happening, he opened his eyes and Spirit again. What he saw matched alot of what he had expected.
Gravis was, right now, at the side of the Darkness Sect, facing diagonally outward. One kilometer more and he would havereached the outside of the Illusion Array. The elders had probably grown nervous and decided to act right now. Sadly, no elderwanted to sacrifice their life.
The illusion world had broken apart, and Gravis could see a lot of disciples standing up from the ground around him, scramblingaway. As expected, they didn't flee towards their Sect, but away from it. Their panicked faces affirmed Gravis’ suspicion. Theelders had thrown the disciples at him against their will.
A hundred meters behind him, Gravis saw two elders standing behind a group of disciples in the initial stage of Spirit Forming.The eyes of the disciples showed pure horror. Those were probably the "lucky" disciples that had the "privilege" to give their livesfor the Sect.
Gravis also noticed another elder lying just ten meters besides him, shock written across his face."YOU IDIO-"BANG! SHING!
Just as Byron had angrily shouted, Gravis had burst forward with all his speed and cut the elder apart. The elder had been tooshocked to react. Earlier, he had charged at Gravis, thinking that he was empty. Yet, he spotted the reappearing white dots onGravis and barely willed for the Formation Array to protect him. The Formation Array blocked the lightning and broke apart,destroying the illusionary world, while the elder got shot back due to the shockwave.
Yet, when the elder had just realized that he had actually survived, Gravis had taken the initiative and finished him. 20% of hislightning regenerated, but his storages were still very low. The avalanche of bodies thrown at him had been cruel but effective.Every single lightning strike used 10%, while the corpses gave him only 5% back.
Right now, Gravis only had around 40% of his lightning left. At least the Formation Array was destroyed along with one elder.Gravis took note of the two elders behind the disciples and another two elders standing beside Byron. The Darkness Sect stillhad four elders and their Sect Master left, while Gravis only had 40% of his lightning.
“Plan D!" Byron shouted with frustration. Gravis knew that Byron wasn't frustrated about the dead disciples or the dead elders.Gravis was sure that Byron was frustrated because the elder had used the Formation Array to block Gravis’ attack. With thedestruction of the Formation Array, they lost their most significant advantage.
After Byron had shouted, all the elders vanished into the darkness.
“Run! right now!" Gravis shouted at the disciples. "They are in stealth and can't risk showing themselves! This is the bestopportunity to run!"
Like an avalanche, the disciples fled into the distance.
“None of you will escape!" came a sound transmission into everybody's mind. At the same time, one of the fleeing disciples gotdecapitated.
SHING!
The elder's eyes widened in shock asa Lightning Spear penetrated hischest. Gravis had felt the fluctyetionof the er's Spirit. When someonegbt khotional, their Spirit released asmall fluctuation, which was barelynoticeable. This was how the HighPriest knew about his priests’emotions. The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Such a fluctuation was very difficultto feel, but with Gravis’ heightenedsense of battle, nothing lef his sight.Gravis was pgiaericen ted as neverbefdre: and such a subtle fluctuationwas nearly blinding to him. Thus, hehad quickly condensed 20% of hislightning into a spear and shot it atthe elder. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
BOOOM!
The Lightning Spear exploded, obliterating the elder in the process. With the help of his Spirit, Gravis managed to make thespear powerful enough to kill the elder. Without his Spirit, he would have needed around 30% of his lightning for that.
Why had the elder acted like this evenif it meant putting himself into harm'sway? The main reason for that wasthe disappearance the white dots
Gravig boty The fact that Gravishad stopped releasing these whitedots when they threw those disciplesat him meant that they weresuccessful in exhausting him.Otherwise, Gravis surely wouldn'thave undertaken the risk ofdeactivating it. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
They had wanted to weaken Gravis more with these disciples, but Gravis' sudden shout had thrown a wrench in their plan. Oneof them had to stop the disciples, and that's how this situation happened.
Gravis’ attack had cost just as much lightning as he regained, but he had used around 25% of his Spirit for the Lightning Spear.At least, another elder had died. Like this, the numbers of his enemies had reduced to four.
Gravis deactivated his passive lightning and readied his saber. There was no Illusion Array anymore, so he could finally fightnormally again. His eyes narrowed as he kept close watch over his surroundings.
The elders and Byron couldn't be seen anymore, but that didn't mean that they weren't there. After all, they were darknesscultivators, the supreme experts in stealth. They were probably close to him, ready to strike.
Like this, Gravis waited in silence.
