As long as Gravis was so big, he didn't truly feel like a human. Another problem was that his Battle-Strength was severely affected by this new form.

This new form of his had basically crammed everything of his old body into this one, making it feel bloated. His normal form had much more space with a longer and broader neck and wider chest. His arms were also much bulkier than normal. Additionally, one shouldn't forget that his legs had a very different shape.

Gravis' whole body felt bloated like his insides and muscles wanted to spill out. He was pretty sure that the skin on his arms would explode if he tried to punch something. Moving his legs also felt awkward with the stretched and constrained muscles.

Lastly, one shouldn't forget that a human's body was not as combat-focused as Gravis' beast body. Right now, properly fighting in his human body felt very uncomfortable.

'Well, it was nice to look at myself as a human again. Surprisingly, I also don't feel like my connection to the Laws has been increased. I think it's not the human form that increased the connection, but a human's Spirit. I expect that since I already have a human's Spirit, I already have this closer connection to the Laws.'

Gravis looked at the ground. 'I shouldn't forget that I managed to learn a ton of Laws in only about 300 years or so. This is obviously far too abnormal for a beast. I'm probably pretty good at learning new Laws, but I doubt that I am the best one out of all beasts with that huge of a margin. My guess is that I already have the closeness to the Laws that normal humans have.'

'Well, no sense in staying in this form,' Gravis thought.

BZZZ!

Gravis transformed into lightning and transformed back. His lightning immediately created his usual beast body again since this was his proper body. As soon as Gravis returned to his old body, he stretched himself in comfort.

'This feels much better,' Gravis thought. 'I will get my real human form either way when I become an Immortal. At that point, it shouldn't feel awkward and bloated anymore.'

Gravis cracked his neck as he readied himself to get back to work. 'Back to the Mixed Elemental Laws. I'm still missing two.'

SSSSHHHH!

Gravis violently moved the air around to create a mighty wind. Then, he threw some Destruction Lightning into the wind and looked at what would happen.

At first, nothing special happened, but after a while, the lightning seemed to become fainter. Meanwhile, the wind also changed. It slowed down a bit, and it became harder for Gravis to move it with his Spirit. Yet, since Gravis had control over one of the two prerequisite elements, he could control the new kind of wind with his affinity.

The new kind of wind moved around as a white hue could be seen. Gravis scratched his now hairless chin in thought and inspected the new kind of wind. 'Interesting. It's moving slower than the normal kind of wind, but it feels more powerful. Let's try it.'

Gravis willed the new kind of wind to shoot at a mountain.

BANG!

The wind hit the mountain, and the mountain was cut into two pieces. After cutting through the mountain, a lot of Energy left the new kind of wind, but there was still a lot of Energy left in the wind. Gravis willed the new kind of wind to return to him and inspected it.

'Just as I've thought. The power of the Destruction Lightning has been incorporated into the wind's cutting power, enhancing it. This means that this kind of wind is slower than normal wind but more powerful. On the other hand, it's faster than Destruction Lightning but not as powerful. Just like with the other mixed elements, it combines the attributes of both of them.'

'Let's get right to it,' Gravis thought.

Five years later. Gravis had been in seclusion for 135 years.

BOOOOM!

'Got it!' Gravis thought. 'My speed is also increasing as I understand more Laws.'

His speed was increasing? But didn't he also take five years for nearly all the other Mixed Elemental Laws?

That was not entirely true. If one thought back to the fusion between metal and water, one would realize that this one had taken 15 years. The reason for that had been that the creation of liquid metal had taken a lot of time. Gravis could only properly learn about the element when he managed to create it.

The same thing was true here. Creating the Cutting Wind, as Gravis called it, also took some time. Yet, instead of needing 15 years, he only needed five years this time. One reason for the faster speed was that he was very familiar with one of the two elements, while the other reason was his experience in the other Mixed Elemental Laws.

'Only one more!' Gravis thought as he grabbed some magma. Then, he broke it apart into stone and fire and threw the stone to the side. After that, he started fusing the fire with his lightning.

SSSSS!

Something quite peculiar happened. The fire seemed to burn the lightning. Slowly, over time, the lightning changed its color until it had a reddish hue.

Gravis willed the new kind of lightning to move around and inspected its properties. 'Interesting! This is very different from the other mixed elements. Instead of combining the different attributes, it basically weakened nearly all attributes but increased the offense.'

Gravis searched for a mountain, which was not so easy since he had destroyed a lot of them already. After some seconds, he found a mountain a hundred kilometers away and used the new kind of lightning to attack it.

BOOOOOOM!

An explosion mixed with fire and lightning appeared. The red lightning bolt had been far slower than usual, but it had an insane attacking power for a level one Law. The entire mountain and its surroundings were decimated.

'If there were a level two Law equivalent of an element, this would probably be it,' Gravis thought as he scratched his chin. 'Of course, that's only when I look at it from an offensive standpoint. It has no kind of defensive properties, and its speed is even slower than fire. But, hey, if someone can hit with it, it would exhibit the destructive power of a level two Law.'

Three years later. Gravis had been in seclusion for 138 years.

BOOOOM!

'And with that, I'm done with the Mixed Elemental Laws,' Gravis thought with satisfaction. 'I learned ten Mixed Elemental level one Laws and the Law of Heat by experimenting with the elements. Let's see which ones I can actually use.'

BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!

Gravis summoned different spheres of Destruction Lightning and willed them to change.

One of them transformed directly into a white wind.

Another one automatically absorbed the moisture in the air until it was surrounded by water.

Another one absorbed heat from the atmosphere until it became incredibly hot as the surrounding atmosphere further away became freezing.

Earth shot out of the ground as it fused with another bolt until the lightning bolt seemingly vanished.

The last lightning bolt got absorbed by a piece of metal, but lightning bolts were still coming out of it.

Gravis looked at the five different kinds of mixed lightning in front of him. 'A fast blade, a sphere of lightning encased by water, a slow but overpowering explosion, a hidden lightning bomb, and a medium that can unload lightning. Five different kinds of weapons. On their own, they are not powerful, but if I use them appropriately in conjunction, they create a great asset of different weapons.'

The Cutting Wind was a fast attack for fast and less defense-oriented opponents.

The Loaded Water would mainly be used for healing, which took care of regeneration.

The Heated Lightning would be effective against slow and defensive opponents.

The Loaded Stone would be useful for fleeing, surprising, or stunning an enemy.

The Lightning Metal would be used as an opportunity-oriented attack when the opponent let their guard down.

Gravis looked at his new weapons in satisfaction. 'Sadly, they're not very useful since I can't use Punishment Lightning with them. Yet, this is only the start. Every level one Law is a gate to a cavalcade of more powerful Laws.'

'Next, I should try to understand the level two Law associated with the Mixed Elemental Laws. I'm sure, with so many level one Laws as a requirement, the level two Law of Mixed Elements is far more powerful than a normal level two Law.'

With that, Gravis tried to comprehend the level two Law of Mixed Elements.

Yet, he had no idea what was in store for him.
