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 comprehended 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 comprehending it was crazy. One had to remember that Kyle had comprehended Gravity Wind as a Crusher, and it had only taken him a couple of centuries to comprehend it.
Kyle was a Medium Spirit Lord right now, and he had an Affinity for the Law he was trying to comprehend. On top of that, he already knew a lot about Gravity.
So, how long did it take him to comprehend 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 comprehending 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 comprehend 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 comprehend 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 common. 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? Come 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.
'Come one! Come 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!'
