Lightning Is The Only Way Chapter 993 - 993 – Mortis' Power

Chapter 993 - 993 – Mortis' Power

Mortis directly charged at Nira without hesitation.

s.h.i.+NG!

Mortis took out a saber and attacked Nira with a Lightning Crescent.

Nira's eyes became enraged as she realized that this ant dared to strike her.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Over 10,000 kilometers of their surroundings were engulfed by the explosion, swallowing everything.

Gravis and Mortis absorbed a big part of the explosion, and Gravis funneled the Energy back into Mortis' body.

Then, Gravis activated his Law of Perceived Reality and moved to the side.

After the explosion vanished, Nira reappeared.

She was uninjured, a gigantic wheel behind her.

This wheel was the Weapon Technique of the Nine Elements Sect, and it wasn't the simplified version that Stella had shown Gravis back then.

Back then, Stella's wheel had only had nine s.h.i.+ning crystals inside it, demonstrating the Pure Elements.

In comparison, Nira's wheel was far bigger.

The central nine crystals shone in different lights, but the other outcroppings were not all filled.

In total, there were 45 outcroppings in the wheel, but only 16 had been filled.

However, that was already quite terrifying since this meant that Nira knew seven level five Mixed Elemental Laws.

Obviously, Nira had used her Weapon Technique to defend herself from Mortis' attack.

In order to stop Mortis' attack from injuring her, Nira had had to use a terrifying amount of Energy.

Yet, what was the strength of humans?

Energy.

The terrifying amount that Nira had used to defend herself from Mortis was only 10% of her total storage.

Nira's eyes became cold as she glared at Mortis.

"Die!"

Four crystals lit up as a terrifying storm of different Elements mixed together.

BANG!

However, Nira aborted her attack and shot a small storm of Mixed Elements to her side.

Gravis had just struck with his Form Law from a distance.

Yet, Gravis only frowned.

'She should have been hit by that,' he thought. 'This means that she is already conscious of my Law of Perceived Reality. She probably doesn't know what exactly it is, but she doesn't trust her own perception.'

When Nira had seen Gravis' beast body, she had immediately realized that Gravis had played her for a fool back then.

There had to be a way how Gravis could have remained hidden.

This meant that Gravis had to know some sort of Illusion Law.

BANG! BRRRR!

Mortis reached Nira while she had defended herself from Gravis' attack, but Magma appeared around her, easily stopping the attack.

"Hmph!" Nira harrumphed with disgust.

Then, she took out her sword.

BANG!

And completely destroyed Mortis' saber.

The quality of Nira's weapon was far higher than Mortis' saber.

'Her weapon has been created with the level six Law of Matter,' Mortis thought with narrowed eyes.

Nira noticed that Mortis didn't receive a backlash when his weapon was destroyed, but she had expected as much. She had destroyed Gravis' weapons back then, and he had also not received a backlash.

This meant that these two beasts were not Weapon Cultivators.

'However, where are their Avatars?' Nira thought with narrowed eyes. 'Either they are not using them, or they are in some part of their equipment.'

Nira immediately shot at Mortis as her sword froze the atmosphere around it, leaving behind a frozen crack in the sky.

At the same time, Nira's wheel gathered the Elements and shot them at Gravis in the distance.

Nira was fast!

Mortis barely had any time to react to her attack, and the same thing was true for Gravis!

The storm of Elements was impossibly powerful, and Gravis had to find a way to deal with the attack.

Yet, Gravis' eyes narrowed as he looked at the storm of Elements.

'I know all of them!'

Gravis' Composition Laws became active, weakening nearly the entire attack by a level.

However, it was only nearly.

Gravis didn't weaken all parts of the attack.

Why?

Because two of the Mixed Elements had Punishment Lightning inside them.

As the attack flew at Gravis, he made the Punishment Lightning inside it explode.

BOOOOM!

The storm of the Elements was blown apart, creating a ma.s.sive storm of mixed Energy.

But the attack had been stopped.

Meanwhile, Mortis had to deal with a physical attack from Nira.

Yes, beasts had more powerful bodies, but there was a limit to it.

Mortis' body was about as powerful as the average body of a human four levels above himself.

Yet, Nira was six levels above himself.

On top of that, Nira's weapon was loaded with her most powerful Element, which was also her Avatar, Blizzard.

Mortis couldn't block since Nira's weapon would simply cut through all his equipment like it didn't exist.

Mortis couldn't evade since he was a bit slower than Nira.

At that time, Gravis hadn't finished dealing with Nira's ranged attack.

While all of this was happening, Mortis and Gravis had the same thought.

'Does Gravis/Mortis need any help?'

As both attacks shot at them, both of them felt that the other person didn't feel any feelings of terror or helplessness.

This meant that both of them could deal with their attacks.

So, how could Mortis deal with that attack?

BZZZZZ!

A wave of lightning appeared.

It shot away from Mortis and swept over Nira.

Nira thought about blocking but realized that the lightning didn't have any offensive capabilities. So, she continued her attack.

However, her weapon suddenly started feeling resistance from the atmosphere.

It was like parts of the atmosphere were becoming harder and other parts softer.

At the same time, Mortis used his Law of Control to weaken the control of Nira's attack.

With all of this added together, Nira's attack missed Mortis, shocking her immensely.

Mortis had already realized that his fighting style wasn't as great as he had thought.

Was Mortis a person that would just ignore a weakness?

Of course not!

Mortis had created a ton of techniques during his long years of comprehension, and this was one of them.

It was called the Lightning Wave, and it created such chaotic magnetic fields that not even Mortis was able to foresee them.

s.h.i.+NG!

Gravis unleashed another attack with his Form Law from a distance, and Nira quickly blocked it with her sword.

Gravis' attacks were terrifying!

If she were hit by one of these casual strikes, she would receive severe injuries!

Even worse, Nira knew exactly that Gravis was only using a Form Law.

This meant that he was wasting no resources at all!

Gravis hadn't used any Energy!

Meanwhile, Nira had to use either her weapon or her Energy to block Gravis' attacks.

She had to deal with Gravis first!

BANG!

Nira shot at Gravis, and Mortis followed her.

BZZZZZ!

A pulse of lightning shot out of Mortis, engulfing Nira.

It didn't injure Nira, but she felt her world warping.

Magnetism was thrown into chaos.

s.p.a.ce was thrown into chaos.

Blinding light blocked her eyes.

Violent sounds a.s.saulted her ears.

The direction of Nira's charge changed ever so slightly.

Suddenly, Nira's Law of Danger shouted at her.

BOOOOM!

A blizzard appeared around her, protecting her body.

CRK! CRK! CRK! CRK!

A cacophony of sounds a.s.saulted Nira. It was like over ten spears had hit her barrier.

The distortion effect of Mortis' lightning vanished, and Nira saw ten spears shooting into the horizon.

Mortis had thrown over 20 spears into the violent lightning storm, and the chaotic flow of magnetism had shot them chaotically into Nira's general direction.

BANG!

Nira blocked another one of Gravis' attacks with her sword.

WHOOOM!

Nira unleashed another storm of Elements, but she shot it at Mortis this time.

Mortis' eyes narrowed when he saw the storm of Elements.

There was no lightning inside it!

CRACK!

Another explosion of lightning came out of Mortis, and it was like the atmosphere had shattered.

For a short moment, it appeared like the world had cracked like gla.s.s.

For a tiny instant, time and s.p.a.ce didn't matter to the storm of Elements.

It was like Mortis had created a very short-lived s.p.a.ce, isolated from the higher world.

Then, Mortis used the level three Law of Time to slow down the attack.

After that, something shocking happened.

The storm remained stationary!

It stopped moving completely.

Usually, something like this was impossible since the higher-ranked Laws of Time in this world suppressed the power of the level three Law of Time. Yet, in this isolated s.p.a.ce, Mortis' concept of time was the only thing that existed.

Mortis used the tiny instant of frozen time to move to the side.

The isolated s.p.a.ce was destroyed as everything returned to the higher world.

s.h.i.+NG!

The attack barely missed Mortis, but it still burned and froze off a huge part of Mortis' right arm.

The isolated s.p.a.ce had only existed for a tiny instant.

This was another new technique Mortis had created.

Sadly, unleas.h.i.+ng that technique cost him 20% of his total Energy storage.

He only had enough Energy left to block another two attacks from Nira.

The third attack would kill him.

How much Energy had Nira used with this attack?

Barely 3%.

The difference in Energy usage was terrifying.

Nira was shocked beyond belief for an instant when she had seen that technique.

How many Laws had to be used to achieve something like that?

She had no idea.

Mortis used the short moment of confusion to charge at Nira with his full speed.

BANG!

Nira blocked another one of Gravis' attacks with her sword.

Mortis reached Nira before she could unleash another attack.

s.h.i.+NG! s.h.i.+NG! s.h.i.+NG! s.h.i.+NG!

Ten spears appeared around Mortis.

BZZZZZ!

Then, a powerful and mystical domain of lightning connected all the spears and Mortis together.

Mortis moved his hands quickly in some mystical ways, and then…

All the spears stabbed towards Nira like they were being wielded by gigantic invisible hands!
