Female Novel
Chapter 61
Gravis looked at the indecisive spider and frowned. He didn't want it to remain standing there. If it came, he would show it a goodtime, and if it retreated, he could finally temper his bones. Yet, it just continued standing there.
Gravis took his saber and started cutting off a big rock from the cliff. The spider continued watching him, not sure what Graviswas doing. Gravis quickly cut off a big chunk, and before it could fall, he grabbed it with both of his hands and lifted it up. Thisstone weighed several hundred kilograms, but he could lift that easily with his body.
He lifted the rock above his head, changed the hold, so he held it only with one hand, reared back, and threw it like a ball at thespider. Even though the spider seemed to look at him, its eyes were not that good. It was feeling Gravis' vibrations on theground, and it heard his breathing and movement. So, of course...
BANG!
The stone hit the middle of its head, and it screeched. Its carapace didn't crack, but the impact shook its brain. It staggered to theside and shook its head, trying to get its bearings.
BANG!
In the time where the spider was still shaking its head, Gravis had cut off another rock. This time, it hit two of the spider's knees.The spider's legs were curled up, and its 'knees' were actually higher than its body, so it was pretty hard to hit its body from theside.
Yet, the carapace on its knees seemed to be weaker, and it cracked a little. Gravis couldn't see the cracks, but he could hearthem. Gravis decided to concentrate more on the legs as he cut up his third rock.
The spider, on the other hand, started retreating into the forest. It seemed like this prey was too much for it. Gravis threw one lastrock for good measure and hit its abdomen. The abdomen seemed to be more fleshy, and the rock bounced off, but not beforethe spider screeched again.
Gravis nodded in satisfaction, waited a little, and jumped back down. He was already kind of stepping on the border of the rulesby being above the cliff. He didn't want to stress the Guild Masters’ patience. Who knew, maybe they were watching?
Gravis reached the bottom and looked around. Nothing else seemed to be in the surroundings, yet he couldn't trust this place.Maybe the spider decided to come back? This was its territory, after all. So, Gravis followed the cliff and started running along itsedge.
After several minutes and several kilometers, Gravis stopped. He had not seen any caves until now, and he decided that it wasprobably easier making his own. He looked at the cliffs and decided that it would be better to make it halfway up the cliff.novelbin
Gravis jumped and 'stuck' himself to the cliffs side at the height of about five meters. Then, he slowly started creating a cave. Hemainly used his Elemental Synchronicity to break the stone down and then moved the gravel to the side, changing it, so it stuckto the side. If it fell down, it would be a chore to carry it back later. He still needed that gravel.
After some minutes, he had created his ‘cave’. Well, it was more like a small hole, and less like a cave. Yet, it still reached adepth of about two meters. Gravis went in and moved the gravel back to block the entrance. He stacked it up and blocked nearlyeverything of the entrance. Only two small holes remained, one at the top and one at the bottom.
The one at the top would funnel in fresh air, while the one at the bottom released the used-up air. Gravis had learned this designfor a 'cave' in the theoretical lessons, back in his homeworld.
Gravis sat down and sighed to relax. Finally, he could temper his bones. Yet, Gravis noticed that he was rather tired. He hadbeen awake for a long while, ate a Fire Torture Pill, and fought a middle-grade demonic beast. Gravis decided to get some sleepfirst before he started tempering his bones.
Like this, Gravis went to sleep, and the night passed without another incident.
Gravis woke up when light shined through the upper hole, right onto his eyes. He wanted to stretch, but he couldn't due to thelimited space, at least not without destroying his entrance. Yet, his stiff muscles annoyed him to no end.
Gravis destroyed his entrance without a second thought and stretched himself. He looked into the basin but couldn't see verymuch. Even though he was at the height of five meters, many trees were still taller. He could hear the birds singing, and he sawsome small rodents running around at the floor before they all vanished. Apparently, they had been scared by Gravis breakingopen his entrance.
The animals reassured Gravis that this was a safe territory. He stretched himself until he was happy and then went back to work.He started making his hole bigger and shoveled all the rocks and dirt out of the entrance. He wouldn't need it this time.

He took out his saber and rubbed the stone against his saber, creating lots of sparks above the wood. Making fire with the stonewas a lot easier than the traditional method. Gravis cooked his food and ate until he was full.
Seeing no more need for anything else, Gravis jumped back into his cave and started moving gravel from the cave to theentrance, blocking it again except for two holes.
