Chapter 788 Mistake In The Script!

The six horned people looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"You think you can defeat us? I get it when the others want to try, but even you? Haha, please, don't make us laugh." One of the horned ladies found Grey's involvement in the battle somewhat funny.

Grey didn't say anything since he didn't like explaining himself to stuck up people.

Gil was the first to pick an opponent, and his opponent was none other than the first horned young man who appeared earlier.

Gil was a Lightning Elementalist, and a powerful one at that. His attack speed was on a different level.

With Gil being the first to attack, the others joined as well. They all picked an opponent and started fighting against them.

The horned young lady who mocked Grey ensured that she would have to be the one who fought against him.

'Void, keep an eye on those guys, make sure they don't capture the people that have already been saved.' Grey said to Void as he rushed forward.

Void nodded before jumping off his shoulder. He was Grey's secret weapon, so he had to keep his strength hidden, for now.

Bam!

Grey's fist connected with the fist of the young lady.

"Nice, but you're still not on my level." The horned lady smiled and increased the force of her punch, which sent Grey flying back.

Grey did a backflip mid-air and landed on the ground. The moment his feet touched the ground, his pupils constricted as he saw an arm coming toward his face. He placed both arms around him, and the young horned lady's fist hit them, pushing him back.

When he regained his footing, the young horned lady was already in front of him, preparing to attack once again.

Grey was placed in a defensive situation from the start of the battle. He was forced to show his space element since without it, the young lady would completely overwhelm him.

After appearing behind the horned lady, he punched her solidly on her back, and his fist exploded out with blue flames when his hand connected with her.

The force of the attack pushed the horned lady back, but she was able to quickly position herself in a way that she didn't leave an opening for Grey.

Grey vanished once again, but since the horned lady was already aware of this ability of his, she was wary and very sensitive to it.

She threw her left fist at the empty space behind her, and Grey appeared there the moment the fist was extended fully, receiving the full brunt of the attack.

The attack forced him back once again, but he managed to regain himself quickly.

'Damn!' He complained as he looked at the hand he used in blocking the attack. This was the first time he was engaging in a fist battle with someone who had a better physique than he did, so he didn't have the advantage like he usually does.

Also, the horned lady seemed to be very sensitive to the space element, or maybe it had something to do with the gravity here. Grey was certain that if Void used the space element, he wouldn't be easily noticed compared to him.

The young horned lady didn't give Grey time and she continued attacking.

They exchanged blows for some minutes, and although Grey was mostly on the back foot, he was quite impressive.

The others were also in a heated battle and compared to Grey, their strength was around the same level as that of their opponents, so they were fairing pretty well. The main reason the horned people had the advantage was because this was their home ground, and the increase in gravity was something that affected the general strength of those from a foreign realm.

The group that was in the cage had already regained consciousness, and they were watching the battle intently.

"Why does that guy look familiar?" One of the young ladies in the group asked, a little bit surprised.

She was part of the geniuses Grey met in the first town. With her pointing him out, the others looked as well.

Grey had a face that very few would forget after seeing him once, especially when they meet him so quickly again.

"Do you remember the guy we met while we were tracking down these people?" The young lady who spoke with Grey at that time asked.

The others nodded.

"He's the one." She said after seeing that they all recalled their encounter with Grey.

When she finished speaking, the others didn't have too much of a change in their reaction, except for the young man who felt he was on top and tried to order Grey around. This wasn't how he expected things to go. Grey was supposed to be the one captured, while he was supposed to be the one fighting to rescue him.

'There must've been an error in how things were supposed to work.' He complained internally.

Grey naturally had no idea what was in the head of these people, he was more concerned about how he was going to stay alive. The young horned lady was not an easy foe, and when she noticed that Grey wasn't as weak as she initially thought, she started attacking more viciously.

He was forced to start using elemental attacks since his physical strength wasn't enough for him to go toe to toe with the horned lady.

Grey's performance astounded the five geniuses, especially the one called Gil. They never expected that Grey would be able to hold out against the young horned lady. They could all see her strength and knew she was just as powerful as they were, so the fact that Grey is able to keep up even when he's only on the Seventh stage of the Overlord Plane showed his talent.

The group finally stopped looking down on him and decided it was best to take him seriously. Grey might not be on their level in terms of strength, but he was someone that, if placed on the same stage as them, he might be on the same level, if not even stronger than they currently were.
