Kyle finally got access to a Level Four Law Well. Getting access to the very few Level Four Law Wells in Humanity's territory would have been extremely difficult and risky. Of course, it had also been difficult and risky here, but he got access anyway.
For the first time, Kyle was looking at lightning while having an Affinity for it.
'The lightning feels somehow familiar. I mean, I've prehended the weaker Lightning Laws, but they had somehow felt more distant. Now that I look at it with an Affinity, it somehow feels so intuitive and natural.'
As he looked at the Gravity Lightning, countless insights filled his mind. The rate at which he was prehending it was crazy. One had to remember that Kyle had prehended Gravity Wind as a Crusher, and it had only taken him a couple of centuries to prehend it.
Kyle was a Medium Spirit Lord right now, and he had an Affinity for the Law he was trying to prehend. On top of that, he already knew a lot about Gravity.
So, how long did it take him to prehend Gravity Lightning?
50 years.
It was just that easy.
Of course, over the years, he had also spent a couple of Beast Cores to keep the other beasts at bay, but that wasn't an issue. He had more than enough Beast Cores to keep the other beasts happy.
Yet, after prehending the Law of Gravity Lightning, Kyle was put in front of a choice.
'Continue or stay?'
'If I just leave after 50 years and use Gravity Lightning, nobody would believe that I'm a Demon. Not even the most talented humans can prehend Gravity Lightning that fast. In fact, Gravity Lightning is something only talented Crushers look at. It's already suspicious that I'm using all of the Minor Elements as a mere Peak Primal Demon. If anyone has paid attention to me, there might be some issues.'
'Sadly, I don't really have any other option. I can only hope that nobody is watching me too closely. Although, if they were, they would've already killed or confronted me.'
'Yeah, nah, I'm not staying. A Primal Demon's longevity is capped at 3,000 years. Just understanding a single Level Four Law would already be crazy. I think the best way is to act like I've tried to prehend Gravity Lightning but without any success.'
'Well, it's time to leave, I guess. No reason to stay here.'
The pillar turned around and scurried away from the Law Well.
'Honestly, I think I should keep acting weirdly. If all of my actions seem deliberate and planned, it would be problematic.'
After leaving the Law Well, the pillar resumed its journey towards the east. At some point, it was bound to find another Level Four Law Well.
From time to time, it was attacked by Demons, but these attacks were not mon. After all, as a Peak Primal Demon, the pillar was barely worth anything to these Crusher Demons. The only ones that attacked the pillar were extremely weak Crusher Beasts that tried to find any kind of corpse they could contribute to a Law Well.
Eventually, Kyle found another useful Law Well. This one was for the Law of Gravity Earth. It just looked like a dormant volcano made of black stone. From time to time, it erupted, spreading different kinds of earths around it.
Naturally, as soon as the resident Demons realized that the pillar was walking towards their Law Well, they became confused and angry.
'Here we go again,' Kyle thought as the pillar scurried forward. 'Who's it gonna be this time?'
The pillar kept scurrying forward without any change in stance.
'Who wants it? e on! Step forward! Whoever approaches gets turned into a pancake!'
The pillar kept walking.
'Hammer's ready! Volunteers, step forward!'
One of the Late Crusher Demons left the Law Well and stepped into Kyle's path. It looked a tiny bit like a heavily armored pangolin, except that it had a ton of needles, arms, and heads.
The pillar kept scurrying forward.
The Demon noticed that the pillar didn't stop moving and charged forward. Jagged and sharp teeth made of hard earth appeared all over its appendages as it launched a devastating attack.
'e one! e all!'
The Demon reached the pillar moments before the pillar's entire body transformed into one strained muscle.
'Watch the hammer fall!'
BOOOOOOOOM!
The surroundings exploded as the pillar launched its devastating attack, the tip of its hammer burrowing deep into the Demon's body.
'BOOOOM!' Kyle thought as the pillar lay weakly on the ground. 'Yeah, that's what you get! Get fucked, idiot! The hammer never misses! WHOOOOO!'
The pillar's body slowly recovered under the shocked gazes of the other Demons. After several seconds, the pillar was done reloading. It harvested the Beast Core before throwing the corpse into the distant Law Well.
'Next one! I'm loaded and ready to go! Who wants to get obliterated next?!'
The pillar kept scurrying forward in neutrality.
'I'll smash the shit out of you! Approach and feel the wrath of the ultimate lifeform! Who can jump four levels?! Eh?! Who can?! Me! That's right, me!'
Another Demon couldn't hold itself back anymore. Heavy armor appeared around its massive body as it stomped towards the pillar, shaking and breaking the earth.
'We got another volunteer! Look at this fat fuck! Bro, being fat only increases your HP in games! It doesn't work like that in real life!'
The pillar stopped moving, and its spindly legs contracted.
The pillar's surroundings shook as the heavy behemoth reached it.
'Watch this!'
Suddenly, the pillar moved backward. Its body moved into the ground behind it, and then...
The pillar performed a surprisingly quick and nimble backflip, its spindly legs stabbing into the ground as it landed. After performing this backflip, the hammer was now in the ground in front of the pillar.
The muscles on the pillar's body contracted with unending power and violence as the behemoth reached it.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The hammer shot out of the ground, its pick ramming into the spot where the behemoth's core was located.
'WHOOOOOOOO!'
The behemoth took flight as the brutal hit catapulted it over the collapsing and weak pillar, the hammer still in its chest. The behemoth flew for several seconds before it landed in the distance, dead.
'Wait, gimme a moment.' The pillar weakly stood up and hastily scurried towards the distant corpse.
When it got there, it harvested the corpse's Beast Core before throwing it towards the distant Law Well. Then, it grabbed the hammer and scurried to the Law Well.
'Alright, thanks for waiting. We can proceed with the next round.'
The pillar approached the Law Well.
'Anyone else?'
It kept walking.
'Anyone? Any ranged fighters? Any stone throwers?'
It kept walking.
'Any earth chuckers?'
It kept walking.
'Any mud sliders?'
'You guys like earth, right? e on! I'll make your relationship with the ground intimate!'
The pillar almost reached the no-fight zone.
'Last chance! Let him who is without a brain throw the first stone!'
The Demons growled collectively, and the pillar threw two Beast Cores into the distant Law Well.
'Yeah, yeah, I'll pay. Greedy fucks!'
The pillar kept walking forward, and another Demon blocked its path.
'Oh, you want some?! You want some tempering?! I'll tenderize you into ground beef!'
The pillar kept walking, and the Demon stepped to the side as the pillar threw another Beast Core forward.
'Step aside, peasants! Billionaire CEO has arrived! I have your lineage's net worth in my pocket!'
Then, another growl arrived from the center of the Law Well, and the pillar stepped back.
'Whoops! Sorry, won't happen again. Here, have this Beast Core as an apology.'
The pillar threw another Beast Core forward.
The pillar looked at the other beasts around it.
'Yeah, know your place, trash! Everyone weaker than me is worthless trash and lazy scum! Everyone stronger than me is an inparable, revered, mighty, and majestic existence that deserves the utmost respect!'
Finally, the pillar plopped down.
