Chapter 64: Chapter 64 – Absolute Carnage
Black clouds appeared in the sky, and Gravis saw lightning moving from side to side in the clouds. Loud thunder exploded throughout the sky, shaking the earth and instilling deep fear in every living creature, except Gravis.
The Guild Masters blanched and ran as far away from Gravis as possible. This guy was insane! He was provoking Heaven with no concern for any consequences. Everyone could feel that Heaven was absolutely enraged right now.
"You decided to send the spider to me yesterday!" Gravis continued shouting as thunderbolts struck different parts of the basin, turning it upside down. "You wanted to bet big and send a strong beast!" More lightning struck the earth, and the clouds churned. "So, pay up!" Gravis shouted with all his might.
Lightning struck the earth one meter in front of Gravis, and its shockwave blasted parts of his clothing off, yet, Gravis continued looking into the sky, fearless. "Give me what you owe!" he kept shouting aggressively.
The participants and the Guild Masters were in a full-on panic right now. Gravis angered Heaven even more, and if this continued, every living thing in the Basin of Nature might die. More bolts of lightning struck around Gravis, yet none touched him.
"Stop bluffing! You don't dare strike me!" he continued shouting, and the clouds were moving around like violent waves in a storm. Thick clusters of lightning appeared between the clouds, and it felt like the world was about to end.
Suddenly, Gravis looked to his left. He had felt a vibration in the earth like an earthquake was coming. What he saw was an army of demonic beasts charging at his position. They feared Heaven and Heaven commanded the beasts to attack Gravis. Every pretense was lost! Heaven even bent its own rules with this move.
Gravis sneered and sprinted into the middle of the beasts, his burst of speed destroying the surrounding earth. A giant mantis immediately shot its claws forward, and Gravis quickly jumped over that attack. This was only a low-grade demonic beast, and Gravis was way faster.
SHING!
Gravis took the mantis' head and its treasure while he flew over. A wolf jumped at him, and Gravis concentrated his Will-Aura on it. It closed its mouth in fear, but it couldn't stop its jump.
BANG!
Gravis punched the side of its neck, breaking it in the process. Gravis now finally landed, and he put up his saber.
SCRRRRRRR!
An Armadillo had rolled itself into a ball and tried to roll over him. Gravis blocked the attack with the edge of his saber, and the more the armadillo spun, the deeper the saber cut until, finally, the armadillo was in two. The two halves of the armadillo shot past him and hit two other beasts. The armadillo's treasure was destroyed in the process.
Gravis saw a panther running at him, and tried to jump forward.
BOOM!
A lightning bolt hit the place where his foot was and destroyed his foothold. Gravis lost his balance, as he slowly fell forward, multiple more lightning bolts hitting all around him, making it hard for him to see and hear his opponents.
BANG!
The panther hit Gravis in the chest with its claws, and Gravis got blasted away, breaking through two trees until he stopped. He quickly stood up again and noticed that only a slight scratch appeared on his chest. Everything else was fine.
SHIING!
With a turn, Gravis beheaded a tiger, which tried to bite him. With a loud cry, Gravis concentrated his Will-Aura on a scorpion that wanted to stab him, freezing it in the process. With another hit, he split its head.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The earth tore open into a gigantic ravine, and Gravis fell. The Guild Masters only saw tens of birds shooting after Gravis into the ravine, and loud sounds of fighting could be heard.
Gravis jumped from wall to wall in the ravine, killing one bird after another. They all screeched and tried to claw him, and Gravis couldn't evade all the attacks. His skin broke in multiple places, and some of his muscles tore, yet he continued with a berserker's cry.
RUMBLE!
The sky seemed to darken, as an absolutely gigantic worm fell into the ravine, its gaping maw full of teeth locked on Gravis. This was the first middle-grade demonic beast that joined the fight. Gravis' eyes grew more bloodshot, as he jumped off the wall with all his power, and shot himself right into its maw.
Inside, he stuck his saber into the side of its stomach and started sprinting upwards while cutting through its body. The muscles couldn't constrict due to them being split in two.
SHING!
The sound of his saber cutting through the back end of the worm resounded throughout the ravine, and he jumped back to the wall.
BRRR Clank!
A pair of shears from a scorpion broke through the place on the wall where Gravis was, but he blocked them with his saber and used their power to shoot himself to the other wall. On the way, he killed another mad bird.
When Gravis arrived at the wall, he slashed through it with all his power, and blood burst out of the wall. Gravis was sure that something would wait for him here.
Back on the surface, the Guild Masters saw one beast after another jumping and climbing into the ravine, seemingly having no care for their lives. Even horses and other similar beasts, who had no chance of stopping their fall, charged into the ravine like their life depended on it. The Guild Masters heard loud explosions continually coming from the ravine.
BOOOOM!
The colossal worm carcass finally hit the floor, and its impact shook the whole ravine. Gravis jumped to the next bird, but before he could reach it, a lightning bolt completely incinerated it, making it impossible for him to use it as a foothold.
NEIGH BANG!
The body of a massive horse hit him, as it pushed him down. Gravis couldn't stay in this position, or the weight of the horse would blast him apart if he hit bottom. He pushed himself off, readied his saber, and cut through the horse.
It was a medium-grade demonic beast, so it took multiple swings, but he managed to get out before he hit the ground. When he came out of the horse, he saw many more beasts raining down on him. Gravis jumped off the horse, the power from his jump accelerating the horse's fall by a lot, and cut through a lizard.
He then used one half of its body to jump back to the wall. Gravis continued jumping from wall to wall and took out more birds, while the constant impact of heavy bodies came from the bottom. More lightning destroyed footholds and birds before Gravis could use them to move forward, and many stones from the walls broke off, adding a rain of rocks to the storm of beasts.
It grew increasingly difficult to move around, and he couldn't keep track of everything around him. His injuries became more severe, and he started getting hit more by attacks from stray beasts. His eyes grew more bloodshot, and his shouts more aggressive.
He hit another wall again, looked around, spotted something, and immediately shot off.
BANG BANG CRRK!
Gravis' saber broke through two legs of the spider and split its head. His target had arrived, and he had killed it. He quickly cut a hole in its abdomen and crawled in. The birds immediately slammed their claws at the abdomen of the spider to make it fall faster.
SHING SHING!
Gravis broke out from the spider's abdomen and cut off both birds' heads. His black saber was in his right hand, while his left hand carried a red saber with different runes shining on its surface. 'So, this is why Heaven didn't want to give the spider to me. This weapon is perfect!' Gravis thought.
With two sabers, it was easier to deal with the absolute onslaught of bodies, stones, and attacks. Gravis continued dealing with everything, but soon noticed that nothing new came anymore, so he quickly jumped to the surface in a zig-zag motion.
BANG!
When he jumped out, the ravine slammed together and closed. Heaven might have given Gravis his new saber, but it wouldn't allow him to get the other treasures!
Gravis was drenched in blood, and cuts could be seen all over his body, yet he smirked at Heaven. "See? I have the saber now. Was that so hard?" he laughed loudly.
BOOOOOM!
Heaven exploded, and a gigantic bolt of lightning flew straight at Gravis, but before it could reach him, it vanished. Directly after that, all clouds blew apart and shot over the horizon with unbelievable speed. With a bang, everything immediately fell silent.
Gravis just continued smiling.
'Seems like Heaven went too far and got slapped by father.'
