Lightning Is The Only Way Chapter 603
Advertisement
In just 50 years, Gravis had managed to comprehend four level two Laws. As time had progressed, Gravis had gone from being inexperienced in Laws compared to his Realm to being the most experienced one out of all Kings.
Back then, Gravis had only known a few level one Laws and one level two Law. Yet, now, he knew more level one and level two Laws than any King. He probably also already knew more level two Laws than any level three Emperor.
'With the level two Law of Lightning Manipulation, I can create an attack that will even kill a beast four levels above me. The matter of offense has been taken care of fully,' Gravis thought with a shine in his eyes.
'As long as I have enough power to kill my opponent, I have an opportunity of victory. Yet, without enough speed, I won't be able to secure a hit. Speed is the next thing that I have to look at,' Gravis thought.
Then, he looked at the Light Ultimate. 'The level three Law of Light's Speed is incredible, but I'm not sure if lightning can become that fast. Yet, lightning is still very fast for an element. So, shouldn't there be a level two Law of lightning related to speed?'
Gravis scratched his chin as he fell into thought again. 'The level one Law of Lightning's Speed is probably one of the components. Another component is probably the level one Law of Lightning's Magnetism. With magnetism, I can add speed onto something else.'
'Another component is probably the level one Law of Lightning's Explosiveness. The Law of Lightning's Speed uses my own force to increase my speed, while the other two Laws use outside force to increase my speed.'
Gravis glanced at the Lightning Ultimate again for a short moment but looked away again. 'In regards to lightning, I don't need much outside help. The displays of the level one Laws has helped me, but I should concentrate on learning this Law myself.'

Gravis looked around the Ultimate's Meet and smiled. 'I think this is as far as I can go with this Ultimate's Meet. Any other Law would probably take more time to comprehend than I have left. For the remainder, I should think about what I have learned and what I should focus on in the future.'
With that thought, Gravis sat down in the middle again and started thinking about everything he had learned. He had learned a ton of Laws in the last 50 years, and he was more than happy with what he had achieved during that time.
Like this, the remaining time of the Ultimate's Meet passed without anything happening.
"Alright, bitches!" Meadow shouted. "Time's up!"
CRRRR!
All the plants and fighting wooden beasts went into the earth as they returned to Meadow's body. Her roots also retreated from Sary's body as Sary took a deep breath. Even though pain was only a minor inconvenience to her, it still wasn't pleasant to feel pain for 50 years.
The other Ultimates also dispersed their displays as they relaxed for the first time in 50 years. They had to keep their shows running while concentrating on the other Ultimates. This Ultimate's Meet was mainly there for the Ultimates to learn from each other, after all.
All Ultimates had gained a lot during that time, especially the Water Ultimate from the sea beasts. The Water Ultimate of the land beasts knew a level three Law, and the Water Ultimate from the sea beasts had concentrated on her performance for the entire duration.
The gigantic octopus had learned a lot during that time, and he had also realized that he had truly not even been close to understanding a level three Law when he had fought Sary. It would have been impossible for him to comprehend this Law, no matter how hard Sary would have pushed him.

Gravis opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched. This session of comprehension had ended, but a new one would soon follow. Gravis still needed to deal with the speed and defensive aspect of his fighting style.
"Hey, Sary," Gravis said.
"Yes?" Sary asked with a smile.
"There's something I want to try out. It's my new attack, and I want you to judge its offensive power," he said.
Sary grew intrigued when she heard that. Testing out a new attack? That sounded interesting.
"Sure," she said with interest in her eyes.
Gravis gestured to the side. "Let's leave for now. I don't want my attack to be public knowledge. I have no idea how the world will change with so many Ultimates dead and ascending."
Sary agreed quickly, and the two of them left. Meadow simply let them go as she looked at the other Ultimates.
"So, who wants to ascend first?" she asked.
Whooom!
Without waiting for another second, the Light Ultimate shot at one of the Striders. Apparently, her interest in becoming an Ascender was the most powerful. Meadow didn't mind the Light Ultimate's actions since it was only natural to feel like this after so many years of stagnation.
Sadly, even though the Light Ultimate was the first to attack, she wasn't very fast in killing the Striders. With her level three Law, she had the ability to close in on the Strider before receiving any injury, but she still needed to load up enough Energy to kill it.
Because of that, quite an awkward scene appeared. The Light Ultimate immediately charged at the Strider but stopped before it, not doing anything. Yet, the Ultimates didn't really care. They had already waited for many years. A couple of hours more wouldn't make much of a difference.
Several minutes passed in which the Light Ultimate was only loading her attack. The other Ultimates that had comprehended a level three Law readied themselves for their fights.
Suddenly, Meadow turned around and looked in a different direction. She continued looking in that direction for over two minutes until she turned back. Then, she glanced at the Lightning Ultimate for a second and huffed.
Surprisingly, the Lightning Ultimate had also looked in the same direction as Meadow. Since Meadow was a flower, one couldn't read her expression, but one could very well read the Lightning Ultimate's expression.
It was shock.
The Lightning Ultimate was shocked.
His normal senses didn't extend that far into the distance, but his sensitivity towards lightning was impressive. Just now, he had felt an incredibly powerful explosion of lightning. He didn't feel nor hear it, but he felt the subtle movement of Energy and lightning in the air.
The explosion he had sensed felt like a level three Emperor had just unloaded their entire storage of Punishment Lightning. This was the power of an all-out attack of a level three Emperor with the help of a level three Law! Something like this would turn any level three Emperor into dust!
Had that one ape from the Icy Pride Empire just attacked someone? The Lightning Ultimate couldn't think of another beast that knew Punishment Lightning that could unleash such a powerful attack.
Some minutes later, Gravis and Sary returned. Gravis was beaming with excitement as Sary smiled at him.
"I felt it," Meadow transmitted to Sary, "but I haven't seen it. How strong was the attack?" she asked.
Sary chuckled a bit. "He managed to penetrate a few of my scales and left some minor burns on my muscles."

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
