A wave of freezing water rushed past the hammer as the pillar hid behind it.
'And now what?'
The winged and blue amalgamation of limbs saw its attack failing and changed its approach. It flew closer and launched a storm of searing icicles.
The pillar burrowed into the ground, hiding behind the huge hammerhead.
'What now?'
More icicles fired at the burrowed pillar, but it avoided all of them by swinging from side to side.
'And now?'
The Demon tried several more attacks, but none of them proved to be effective. Once more, it decided to get closer.
BOOOM!
The pillar shot out of the ground.
'Not so fast, Demon! I activate, 'Rocket Powered Hammer Fist'!'
The Demon tried to evade to the side, but the approaching hammer was already flying towards the Demon's new position.
BANG!
The hammer slammed through the Demon, taking it along on a magical journey into the unknown.
The pillar slammed into the ground, recovered its Energy, and flew into the distance.
'Don't change the channel! We'll be right back after these messages.'
After chasing after its hammer and retrieving it, the pillar returned to the Law Well for Gravity Water.
Another Demon rushed forward, releasing a terrifying rainstorm of searing water.
BOOOOOOM!
A second later, the Demon had turned into a stain on the broken ground.
'The rain has been canceled due to game!'
The pillar continued scurrying forward, throwing a couple of Beast Cores into the Law Well for Gravity Water.
'Alright, alright! I'll stop! Sorry, okay?'
The pillar stepped back as a Peak Crusher Demon growled at it.
Finally, the pillar plopped down and stopped moving.
'And done! Two to go!'
The pillar scurried away from the Law Well for Gravity Water before continuing towards the east.
After traveling for a while, it found a space, warping with colorful light. The air fluctuated with Light Energy, turning parts of it solid.
'Step aside, lightweights! Super heavyweight ing through!'
A shiny and long Demon charged out of the chromatic display, its body moving with grace and skill. It zigzagged towards the pillar, not losing any speed in the process. One of its tails spun forward like a whip, the Light Energy on it multiplying its weight.
BOOOOOOOOM!
'When you chose light, you chose my difficulty, not yours!'
The pillar harvested the Beast Core before throwing the corpse into the distance.
Moments later, a second Demon charged forward, releasing lances of manifested light.
BANG! BANG!
The lances hit the hammer, pushing it, and the pillar behind it, back.
'Breaking news! Light countered by parasol!'
'Parasol, what a dumb word. They should just call them sunbrellas.'
More waves of light reached the hammer. This time, they didn't push the hammer away. Instead, they increased its weight.
'Why, though?'
CRK!
The hammer broke through the ground, falling through it like it was just air.
The pillar just watched as the hammer sank into the earth.
'Oh... oh!'
Lances of light flew towards the pillar as it jumped into the hammer's hole, its spindly legs briefly catching onto the edges of the hole.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The lances shot through the ground, some clouds of blood spewing out of the holes.
A moment later, the pillar climbed out of the hole again, hammer in hand and holes in body.
'Alright, that was a good one.'
More attacks followed, but the pillar managed to survive all of them.
Inevitably, the Demon came closer, and the pillar shot forward.
BOOOOM!
The hammer smashed through the Demon, shipping its corpse to the stars.
Yet, this time, something was different.
A small tendril of flesh connected the pillar's bones to the hammer.
The tendril became taut, and the bony pillar was pulled with it. As the pillar flew with the hammer, it slowly regained its Energy.
'Haha! Don't have to chase my hammer anymore!'
The hammer landed in the distance, and after some time, the pillar returned to the Law Well for Gravity Light.
Just when it was about to reach the no-fight zone, a Demon covered in lightning charged towards it from behind. The Demon wanted to join a different Law Well, but it wasn't strong enough to kill any other Late Crusher Demons. When it saw the weak pillar, it decided that eating a small morsel was better than eating nothing.
BOOOOOOM!
'Shut the fuck up! This is light territory! All my boys live here!'
The pillar grabbed the corpse and threw it towards the Law Well.
Moments later, it entered the no-fight zone, and after a couple of civil discussions with some Late Crusher Demons and one Peak Crusher Demon, it sat down on a solid piece of air.
Years passed.
'Seven done! One to go!'
The pillar left the Law Well and made its way to the last Law Well it needed.
Gravity Darkness.
'Kinda crazy how fast I prehend Laws. Four Level Four Laws in just 200 years. Just with these Laws, I can already create several brutal plex Laws. The speed at which I grow is crazy! Although the Level Five Laws will take much longer. But e on! They're Level Five Laws!'
BOOOOOOM!
A shadowy figure, covered in blades, turned into a stain.
'Like, there's actually a chance I could get access to Level Five Laws! As long as I get all of the Level Five Laws, I could technically fulfill all the requirements to bee an Immortal! I mean, I would probably die as soon as I try to advance, but hey, technically, I could bee an Immortal. That's worth something, right?'
'Although, maybe not. The Overseer is probably insanely strong. In fact, if they've somehow managed to bee Immortal, I might just be fucked. If I know all of the Laws, my Battle-Strength would be similar to theirs. My Imposing Law would be the only thing that would give me an edge. Demons can't condense Imposing Laws.'
BOOOOOOM!
The hammer pulled the pillar into the horizon as it flew through a misty and shadowy figure.
'Like, my Imposing Law gives me some advantages, but the gap between an Ascendant and an Immortal is unreal. It's the craziest gap between all of the Realms. I don't think an Imposing Law would be enough.'
'Yeah, well, if they're Immortal, we're fucked anyway.'
The pillar moved towards the shadowy crater as it threw some Beast Cores into it.
'Reaching the Immortal Realm probably causes a huge motion. I don't think the Overseer would miss something like that. As soon as I break through, they will notice.'
The pillar scurried past several growling Late Crusher Demons.
'Although, even if they kill me, it wouldn't be for nothing. As far as I know, an Overseer only gets one warning before the world kills them. Killing an advancing Immortal would be worth such a warning. As an Overseer, it's your job to make powerful Seekers. Even if you're a Demon, killing an advancing Immortal in a Primary World is as big of a no-no as attacking the walls.'
The pillar plopped down after it had received its mandatory warning from the upper management of the Law Well.
'If I'm lucky, the Overseer has already received a warning. They've probably already attacked the walls before. If they kill me, they will also die, assuming they've got their warning already.'
'Best case: The Overseer is a Peak Ascendant, and I can kill them.'
'Average case: They're an Immortal and got their warning already. I will die. They will die.'
'Worst case: They're an Immortal and haven't been warned yet. They will be warned, and they will tighten their grip on Ayuvar. Nobody will ever get another chance forever. Well, that's not entirely correct.'
'At some point, the God of this Cosmos will return, and one of the first things he will do is to clean house.'
'It's just... we don't know when that will happen.'
'Could be tomorrow.'
'Could be in a billion years.'
'Anyway, enough thinking about stuff that's too far in the future. I've got one more Level Four Law to prehend!'
