Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 430

The Golden Dragon looked at Gravis, but it quickly grew confused. What was he doing?

All the liquified ore of the Golden Dragon's body was gathered above Gravis’ hand as he concentrated on it fully. Some lightningencased the liquid metal, and Gravis stared at it intently.

‘| need to successfully forge this metal on my first try! | don't have enough Energy to try it another time! | must succeed now!’Gravis thought crazily as the metal started changing shape.

CRK!

Yet, it started breaking apart. Gravis grew panicked as he saw that. This was a sign of failure! Why? Why wasn't he able to smithnew materials on his first try!?

Fueled by the pressure, Gravis' mind went into overdrive. His concentration reached a peak it had never reached before. Gravisremembered all the diagrams about the different materials' makeup, and, slowly, he realized several patterns between them.

He remembered what had happened with all the materials he had tested previously and instantly recognized some patterns,which he hadn't seen before.

BANG!

As if struck by lightning, Gravis suddenly realized why the materials all acted in such unforeseen ways when he had tried to forgethem previously. The whole makeup of the different materials fused together into a single concept in his head.

The ore stopped cracking as it quickly morphed into the shape that Gravis envisioned.

By now, the Golden Dragon realized that Gravis was using its own body to create something abominable. The Golden Dragonwas able to shape the metals in the earth into whatever shape it wanted, but this weak ant was now doing this to the GoldenDragon's body.

Rage exploded inside the Golden Dragon. This was the most disrespectful thing that had ever been done to it! It wasn't somematerial that some weak ant could manipulate however it wanted!

The Golden Dragon shot forward with unreal speed and attacked Gravis with one of its claws.BANG! BANG!

Aloud noise erupted, but that wasn't the noise of the attack. This was made by the metal that had been compressed togetherinto a new form. This was what the Opposer had shown Gravis. This was the second way of tempering a weapon, somethingthat Gravis would only be able to learn later.

The second loud sound was the attack of the Golden Dragon. Its claws hit something incredibly hard, and Gravis was shot intothe distance by this attack. Gravis' body smashed through more mountains until he finally managed to stabilize himself.

The attack injured his body, but the injuries were only minor. Most of the damage had been absorbed by the thing Graviscurrently carried in his right hand.

Was it a saber?No!

Gravis carried a massive, golden shield in his right hand. He knew that if he made a saber, he would only be helplesslysuppressed. He would have never gotten a chance to regenerate his power like that. Instead, he decided to make a shield.

As soon as the droplets of the Golden Dragon's body left it, they became their own entity. They still had the Golden Dragon's willon them, but as long as they didn't touch the Golden Dragon's body, Gravis could easily wipe that will away with his Will-Aura.

Like this, these droplets had truly transformed into Late Unity Rank materials. As soon as Gravis understood the Law aboutthese materials, he also immediately realized how he could compress them. He simply needed to move the Energy that made upthe materials in a peculiar way to press it together.

Thanks to that understanding, Gravis managed to create a shield with a hardened layer. If Gravis hadn't hardened that shield, itwould break apart with a powerful attack from the Golden Dragon. Only by being hardened would it be able to resist the GoldenDragon's attacks indefinitely.

When the Golden Dragon saw that Gravis wasn't even that injured, it grew furious.BOOOM!

It charged at Gravis with all its power, destroying the earth under it in the process. Then, it summoned more spears, which itquickly threw at Gravis.

Whooop!All the spears vanished immediately, infuriating the Golden Dragon even more.BANG!

Gravis got shot into the distance again, but the shield absorbed most of the damage. Yet, Gravis still got injured by this hit.Gravis also quickly realized that his injuries accumulated even faster than the regeneration of his power. This meant that hewould still die.

BANG!

The Golden Dragon attacked again, but this time, Gravis evaded the attack. The Golden Dragon had been too straightforwardwith this attack, allowing Gravis to evade it. When the Golden Dragon saw that, it grew even angrier.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

It started going absolutely crazy as it used its claws, legs, teeth, and even its tail to crazily attack Gravis. Gravis only managed toevade some of the attacks, which was already a miracle in and of itself. Sadly, several attacks still hit him.novelbin

Luckily, these attacks didn't have the earlier power since the Golden Dragon distributed its power among multiple attacks insteadof concentrating it into one. This attack didn't even injure Gravis at all.

"RAAAAAAHHH"" The Golden Dragon released a primal roar as it charged crazily at Gravis. Then, it transformed parts of itsbody into metal to make its attacks stronger. This would increase the power of the attacks again, allowing it to continue itsonslaught.

Gravis started becoming injured again as these attacks rained down on him. He had only regenerated a minuscule amount oflightning during this onslaught. This couldn't continue!

Gravis narrowed his eyes as he infused his shield with some of the Spirit and lightning that he had managed to regenerate.BOOM!

Lightning exploded out of his shield as an attack from the Golden Dragon hit it. Yet, this explosion was enough to liquify more ofthe Golden Dragon's body. It wasn't nearly as much as when the Lightning Crescent had hit it, but it was still a good amount.

Gravis retrieved the droplets into his Spirit Space as his body smashed through more mountains. Then, he immediatelyresummoned them and started forging again. His knowledge about the material had allowed him to release just enough lightningto heat the material to its optimal temperature.

The Golden Dragon had lost nearly all its rationality in its fury. The fact that Gravis still managed to hold on infuriated it to no end.Why wouldn't this weak ant just die!?

BANG!

Another hit, but Gravis only received some very minor injuries. The reason for that was the new pair of shoes he had justcreated. Gravis knew all the basic Formation Arrays for forging, which included Formation Arrays for armor.

Gravis hadn't fought someone with a real set of armor yet, but that didn't mean that those didn't exist. Gravis had made shoesfilled with Formation Arrays that absorbed shock. As long as he managed to land on his feet, he wouldn't get injured as much.

Many more attacks rained down on Gravis.BANG!

But after some minutes, Gravis had regenerated enough of his power to release another Lightning Blast from his shield. On topof that, this blast was even more powerful than the one before.

More droplets fell from the Golden Dragon's body as Gravis used them to create gauntlets. He filled these with Formation Arraysthat allowed the gauntlets to connect with the shield. With this, he would have more control over his body's position.

It had happened a couple of timesthat Gravis hadn't been able to stophis fall with his fee yeyo theadlden

Yet, since Gravis was using all of his power to injure the Golden Dragon and smith, his body was quickly becoming increasinglyinjured.

Some of the Golden Dragon's rationality returned, and it stopped transforming its body into metal. It couldn't allow Gravis toaccumulate more of its body.

Sadly, this decreased its attack power again, and with the new gauntlets and boots, Gravis didn't even get injured in the slightest.Now, Gravis simply saved up his power without using it.

The fight dragged on for another two hours. The Golden Dragon was absolutely sure that Gravis couldn't keep going! Beingtossed around like this would reduce his stamina crazily!

Sadly, the Golden Dragon didn't knowthat Gravis’ stamina was basicallyendless. Yet, that wasn't th GoldenEee ons Gall wesinalyha no ideaabout how Gravis Spirit and lightningworked. On top of that, Gravis waslosing control over his body morefrequently. This could only comefrom exhaustion, right? The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!

His eyeslost some of his focus as he nowreacted mostly on instinct. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!

The Golden Dragon interpreted that as exhaustion, but Gravis simply became more relaxed. As long as this kept going,everything would be fine.

After some more minutes...BANG! BANG!

Gravis transformed into lightning and then transformed back. His body was now fully healed again, but his Realm droppedslightly. Luckily, he had managed to regenerate all his lightning and Spirit during that time, so his Realm only dropped a little bit.

Yet, since Gravis’ lightning was still more powerful than his Spirit or body, only his lightning decreased. This was the concept ofbalance, and only the most powerful aspect became weaker. This meant that his body was just as powerful as before.

When the Golden Dragon saw that Gravis was fully healed again, it exploded with anger. It wanted this ant to die, no matterwhat!

BOOOOOM!Suddenly, an incredibly powerful beam of golden light shot out of the Golden Dragon, right towards Gravis.Gravis saw this beam and nearly felt his heart stop.

This beam was way beyond everything that the Golden Dragon had used previously. This attack wasn't even on the same levelas all its previous attacks!

Gravis knew that, even with his shield, if that beam hit him, he would die!
