The pillar immediately charged out of the Law Well. The silhouette didn't move, and moments later, it dispersed.
'Fuck!' Kyle thought from outside the Law Well. 'Fuck!'
'This is the worst-case scenario! The Formation Array scales with someone's Realm, but it has a minimum strength requirement equal to the strength of a Late Sage Demon.'
'If this were a normal Late Sage Demon, I might be able to find some kind of way to cheat myself through this battle, but it's not! This is not an opponent but a focused explosion. The other Demons break the silhouettes to disperse their explosive powers, but in the end, they are still victim to the explosion!'
'Yes, I can probably smash that silhouette into pieces, but there's no way I can survive the following explosion. The pillar can't even properly resist the ambient temperature!'
Kyle took a deep breath. 'There has to be some kind of way to get past this. I also have a ranged attack. If I destroy the silhouette from a distance, I might survive.'
The pillar walked back into the Law Well, and some seconds later, another silhouette appeared. Without hesitation, the pillar ran out of the Law Well again.
'Ten kilometers! This guy spawned merely ten kilometers away from me. That's far too close. I need a distance of at least 200 kilometers to have any kind of chance.'
The pillar went back in again, and another silhouette appeared.
15 kilometers.
Another time.
13 kilometers.
Eight kilometers.
Ten kilometers.
19 kilometers.
Kyle tried it over a hundred times, and in the end, he stopped trying.
'Shortest distance is five kilometers. The longest one is twenty kilometers.'
'There's no way.'
'I could just consume the explosion since it doesn't have a will on it, but there's no way nobody will notice. My human body could survive it without issues, but that will expose me. If I change the pillar's body to fully focus on defense, I won't have enough power to disperse the silhouette. At that point, the explosion would be over ten times as powerful.'
'I could use my Spirit to influence my surroundings, but that will also expose me. I could fuse all of my Laws, including the Level Four Laws, but that also won't work. Sure, I would probably survive, but there's no way nobody will become suspicious.'
Kyle's mind went through countless plans and eventualities.
'There's just no way. With my current kit, I can't possibly survive here. The only way would be to garner the attention of the Ascendant Demon and convince them to give me access, but how am I supposed to do that? I've already shown far too much power. If I show even more, nobody will believe that I'm a Demon.'
'The Demons need to specialize in something to gain the permission to comprehend Laws here. Either you need such a high defense that you can survive the explosion, or you need such offensive capabilities that the explosion disperses, or you need so much speed that you can outrun it. If you're a Fighter Demon, you can also survive by being good at everything.'
'I could do all of these things, but I simply do not have enough Energy.'
Kyle looked at the Law Well with unwillingness before taking a deep breath. Finally, he released a sigh of resignation.
'I concede. There's no way I can get through this without dying or exposing myself.'
The pillar turned around and left the vicinity of the Law Well.
