Chapter 348

The hour had been very dangerous for Gravis. The root from the grass had absorbed around 50% of his Life Energy and hadcreated a hole in his body that just wouldn't stop bleeding. His Life Lightning had run dry, so he couldn't even fix the hole in ashort time. On top of that, the blood he had lost due to the shockwaves and the hole had soaked the ground around him.

The blood was an excellent fertilizer for plants, so more and more roots came for him. Gravis was using over 50% of his lightningevery minute to eradicate them. If there weren't such a high Energy density, Gravis would have died long ago.

To top it all off, he also couldn't create a Lightning Bomb in here. Such a powerful explosion would throw all the dirt away thatwas on top of him. By now, the shockwaves had become incredibly powerful. Gravis didn't feel them with his body thanks to theslope of the dirt, but his Spirit felt the effects. As soon as his Spirit went above ground, it would be completely annihilated. Heknew that he would instantly die if he touched the shockwaves.

Gravis had felt nervous when he had been above ground, but now, he genuinely felt that his life was in danger. He could dealwith the roots of the grass, but what about stronger plants? Fungi had most of their body underground, and one would generallysay that a mushroom was more powerful than some grass.

And sure enough, after some minutes, a much more powerful root had appeared. Most of Gravis’ lightning had been focused ondealing with it, but the only thing it did was retreat every time. He wasn't able to damage it in any significant way. The other rootsalso didn't stop coming. On the contrary, they were becoming more and more. His blood was just too appetizing.

‘This root is troublesome!’ Gravis thought. He was lying unmoving below the ground, almost like he had been buried. Evasionwas obviously not an option, and if even the grass was able to penetrate his body easily, this root would just annihilate him if ittouched him. After all, it was many times more powerful.

Luckily, Gravis' new lightning was doing wonders. He had gained that lightning from absorbing Heaven's lightning, and it wasway more powerful than his previous Destruction Lightning. The root seemed to fear it somewhat, and it couldn't deal with it.

Whenever the root touched the lightning, some of it would break off. Sadly, that broken off part would heal just as quickly. Gravisfelt like a shark was swimming around him, estimating if the potential gains were worth the trouble. It really wanted to absorbhim, but the lightning was also really troublesome.

Gravis grew incredibly frustrated because he knew he could annihilate the root with a Lightning Bomb, but that would alsoexpose his body to the outside for a bit. If he did that at the wrong time, the shockwaves on the top would annihilate him.

This was a scary situation since Gravis couldn't use his most powerful advantages. He mostly evaded attacks and then killed hisenemies with incredible force. He couldn't use either of those in this situation.

‘Elemental Synchronicity would be perfect in this situation,’ Gravis thought, but he didn't really wish for it. He believed that hiscurrent path was better than his lost Elemental Synchronicity. Without his peculiar immunity to lightning, Heaven would haveeasily annihilated him with its powerful lightning strike.

The time passed by slowly, and after an hour, the grassroots had become fewer. Gravis had eradicated most of the grass, andabove ground, one could see a clean area. Gravis had killed multiple square meters of grass.

Yet...

‘This fucking root!’ Gravis thought in rage. It just didn't give up! It came again and again. It just wouldn't leave him alone! Gravishad been dealing with it for over an hour, but it just kept on coming! To top it all off, it started becoming more and more daring.

By now, Gravis needed to hit it thrice with his lightning to shoo it away. Gravis was still able to deal with it, but that quicklychanged as three other roots came towards him. Gravis felt the will of the roots and found out that all these roots came from thesame plant.

Gravis gnashed his teeth. ‘It's really committed now. Not long, and it will probably go for the kill. Trying to keep it at bay won'twork for long anymore, but | will be reduced to ashes by the shockwaves if | use a Lightning Bomb. There is only one last thing |can do. It might be risky, but there is no other chance!"

Whoop!

Gravis summoned the Life Ring. ‘You might have a powerful body, but that doesn't mean that you're not in the initial Stages ofthe Unity Realm! After all, beasts and plants have much more powerful bodies!" he thought.

Then, he strengthened his Spirit to its maximum. His body was weak during that timeframe, and all his concentration was on thering. If anything unforeseen happened, he would die. His Spirit entered the Life Ring, and he willed it to absorb the root.

The Life Ring shone, and the roots stopped. Yet, only for a short period of time. After that, they started to very slowly extendtowards Gravis. Meanwhile, Gravis' eyes started becoming bloodshot as he used all of his Will-Aura to focus on the ring. It waslike he was back at the time when he was trying to connect his centers of power. His Spirit was also quickly being drained.

The roots slowly came closer, but Gravis didn't move. He kept concentrating on the ring.Then, the roots touched his body. Gravis kept concentrating his will on the Life Ring. This was his only chance!

Yet, instead of stabbing into his body, the roots crawled along it, towards the Life Ring. Gravis didn't dare to become excited.One small interval of losing focus would allow the roots to kill him. Slowly, the roots touched the Life Ring and entered it.

Whooom!

As the roots entered the Life Ring, Gravis saw a whole network of them coming closer to his body. There were more and more.The initial four roots were nothing in comparison to this vast network. It was almost like a whole Spirit Tree was below theground.

After several minutes, Gravis' Life Ring had absorbed multiple kilometers of the roots until a 100-meter-wide sphere of rootsappeared. Gravis knew that this was the core of the roots. Sure enough, it was a humongous fungus.

As Gravis’ Spirit ran dry, he absorbed the core of the fungus. After that, the remaining roots shot into the Life Ring at ridiculousspeeds. In nearly no time, everything was absorbed, and Gravis took a deep breath of dirt.

‘Cough, cough,’ and immediately coughed. He didn't need air to survive, but he had taken that breath out of reflex. Luckily, hisbody quickly expelled the dirt. Then, Gravis closed his eyes to relax. 'I survived,’ he thought as he felt calm again. He only had10% of his strengthened Spirit remaining.

By now, no more roots came towards him. The shockwaves were still going crazy above him, but Gravis was safe. Now, he onlyhad to wait. And wait, he did.

For three whole days.

‘You done yet?’ Gravis thought infrustration. The shockwaves werestill going on, and they, (spntinued |bated. wet! a S oF no feeling

Whooop!

And like that, Gravis vanished, and reappeared inside his father's room.

Gravis took a deep breath and sighed. Finally, he was above ground again. He stretched his body a bit and looked at his father.His father was sitting in the middle of his room, like always. Every time Gravis came into his room, he would just sit there.

His father opened his eyes andlooked at Gravis with narrowed eyes.Gravis wasn't intimidated, singe thhtwaschodalttig ¥a{her always looked.Ever since he could remember,Gravis rarely saw a differentexpression on his father's face.
