Chapter 111
Gravis reminisced about his homeworld and about everything that happened back then. This fight reminded him of the past, and he wanted to enjoy every moment of it. Times were simpler back then, and he only had to think about getting stronger. There was no guilt or schemes, just a goal to increase his strength.

“SCREE!” shouted Skye as it excitedly flew around Gravis while the parent bird left and flew back up to its nest.

Gravis got torn out of his reverie by Skye’s shout, and he could only smile bitterly. “No sense in dwelling on the past. I am on my journey to become stronger now, and I need to remain stalwart. I can’t falter just because it was easier back then. If it were still as easy now, as back then, then my will wouldn’t be as tempered,” he said to himself with a smile.

Gravis went through Silvio’s belongings and found about 30 Energy Stones, and Gravis could only grimace when he saw that. Of course, the strong enemy he had killed didn’t have much wealth. Why had he expected anything else? The other disciples’ bodies were probably already fully eaten, and they weren’t even his kills. Just like the parent bird left this corpse for him, Gravis would leave the other corpses for it.

The only other thing of note was Silvio’s weapon. Gravis grabbed it and felt its weight. “This weapon is probably better than mine,” he smiled bitterly. “Sadly, I don’t use spears,” he said as he put it on his back. He could surely sell it at some point.

“Scree!” shouted the parent bird from the treetop, and Skye quickly went to it. Gravis also had nothing else to do and followed. Gravis went up the tree and saw the corpses inside the Formation Array, surprised that they weren’t eaten yet. They were also surprisingly still in one piece. Gravis didn’t know how the parent bird had done this, but it surely had a reason for that.

Gravis forgot that the parent bird couldn’t retrieve the corpses since they were still inside the Formation Array. Gravis willed for the corpses to leave the Formation Array and caught them. He then carried them up the tree and threw them in front of the parent bird. He didn’t look through their belongings, because they were not his spoils. Gravis also couldn’t exclude the possibility that Energy weapons and Energy Stones were useful for beasts too.
