Chapter 1159 I Made Some Tweaks To It

?

The girl looked at Grey with an incredulous gaze, not expecting him to figure it out so quickly. If Grey had given the other figure one more second, it would've had time to react since its strength increased by two more stages, taking it to the Sixth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

No matter how powerful Grey was, there was no way he would be able to deal with a Sixth stage Elemental Venerable unscathed. 

From Grey's current appearance, it was easy to see that he was a bit stressed from the battle, but he was able to win in the end which was all that mattered. 

"What will you do now?" Grey turned to the girl with a calm expression. 

"You don't think they were my only toys, do you?" The girl smiled. 

Grey didn't say anything, preparing for what might come next. However, nothing else appeared. He couldn't help but look at the girl, foreboding something stronger was going to appear. 

The girl laughed when she saw Grey's expectant gaze, "Haha, actually, those are my strongest toys, but not my strongest form of attack. I was only buying time to absorb the power back." 

The girl who didn't seem to have any aura of an Elementalist suddenly exploded. She was quite small, not up to four feet tall, yet her small body suddenly seemed to amass unimaginable strength, shocking Grey. 

Grey never expected the little girl would be the one to get all the strength after the toys were broken. With what he had experienced from destroying them, they seemed to be able to increase the strength of the next user by at least one stage or more. 

If the little girl's strength went above the Sixth stage, Grey would be in a whole lot of trouble. Fighting against someone like this wouldn't have put any pressure on him previously, but that was because he still had access to the Fusion State. Now, he couldn't use the Fusion State, although he had learned more powerful attacks, he was still not on the level when he could climb five stages. 

'Void, get ready to join the fight.' He didn't dare to overestimate himself, he knew his limits. 

Void nodded, prepared to fight. Compared to Grey, he was a bit stronger, well, not entirely, but he could fight against Grey on his own. 

The bunny leader wasn't invited to this battle, first off, it didn't like fighting and relied heavily on those around him. Not just that, but it was still in the Early stages of the Seventh Rank, unlike Void who had gotten to the Mid stages. 

The aura of the little girl got to the Sixth stage, and just as it was about to go past the Sixth stage, Grey noticed she stopped it. Only then did he recall about the restrictions in this place, as long as the little girl got past the Sixth stage, then she would be attacked by the huge array in this place. 

"I see, you can't go past the Sixth stage." He commented. 

"It doesn't matter, I can still deal with you in this state, it's nothing much." The girl replied nonchalantly. 

Grey smiled but didn't say anything else. The little girl was pretty confident in her abilities, and he knew he couldn't underestimate her. 

The moment the girl said this, she made her move. Her body was covered with a tornado and a powerful gust appeared in the room. Even though the room was quite big, the gust seemed to be able to destroy everything present. 

The destructive wind came with powerful wind blades that flew everywhere, cutting down everything in their path. 

Grey created an ice dome, protecting himself from the wind blades. The ice dome soon started to show signs of cracks. Seeing this, Grey's figure was covered with ice armor and he charged out like a warrior, he attacked the little girl with the fire element. 

The little girl stretched her hand and a powerful breeze blew the fire attack away. It crashed into the wall, leaving only a mark on it. 

Grey tried to use the space element to attack her, but the little girl sensed it and moved from the location, dodging the spatial slash. 

The little girl opened her arm and a black orb floated out, it shot at Grey with shocking speed. 

Grey reacted abruptly, blocking it with an ice wall, but the wall couldn't stand the attack and crumbled to the ground. But it managed to stop it for a second, giving Grey the opportunity he needed to escape with the space element. 

When he appeared, the girl attacked once again. This time, she sent out an arrow made with the light element. 

The speed of this attack was far more than what Grey could handle at the moment, he fortified all his defenses and took the attack. 

Boom! 

Grey's figure was sent flying by the impact of the attack. He was stunned that the girl had both the light and darkness elements. It was a rare combination. 

Seeing Grey's look, the girl smiled with a proud expression, "I can use as many as five elements. I heard you also have a good variety as well."

Grey didn't say anything, he had used four elements already, and to be honest, he wasn't too confident in defeating this girl. If he showed more elements, he might be in trouble. At most, he can still show his earth element, but that was the most he could do. 

He looked at the girl with a serious expression and muttered to himself with a sigh, "This will be tough."

The girl seemed to hear it and burst out laughing, her cute voice didn't seem as pleasant as it was supposed to sound since she was trying to kill Grey. 

A large wind blade struck Grey's position, but he managed to dodge it by a hair's breadth, attacking with the fusion orb. He didn't have the time to tweak it. 

The normal fusion orb was quite powerful. The girl who had always had a calm expression all this while couldn't help but take another glance at Grey. 

She threw another black orb made from the darkness element at it. The two collided and a powerful explosion rang out, rocking the room. 

Grey and the girl stood on opposite sides, looking at each other. They protected themselves from the impact of the explosion, else they would've been injured from it. 

"What secrets does your body hold? That attack is not something I've seen before." The girl's eyes narrowed to a slit as she asked. 

Grey couldn't be bothered to answer her, he was thinking of ways to either defeat her or call for help. Ellis was in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, with his help, he had confidence in defeating the girl. 

The young lady saw Grey's eyes and knew he was most likely thinking of a way to get help, "You can get any help here. I've sealed up the place. For some reason, I was a hundred percent certain you would come here." 

The girl attacked again after saying this. 

Grey didn't hold back and attacked immediately as well. The duo started exchanging attacks, this time, they were more ferocious. It was almost as if both had come to terms that only one of them could leave this place alive. 

A few minutes went by in a flash. 

On one side, there was a small figure who was overwhelming a figure bigger than her. Grey's figure was sent flying on so many occasions he lost count. 

The armor was starting to show signs of falling apart, Grey was slightly bleeding, but his eyes were still fierce. The girl was only slightly better than Grey, but she was still bleeding, and a slash could be seen in her left shoulder, running down to her lower back.

They separated once again, each catching their breaths. The girl had an excited look on her face as blood ran down her left arm. 

"It's been a few years since I last saw my blood. I'll kill you slowly for this." She said with cold eyes. 

"You will not be able to, unfortunately." Grey's reply was calm. 

"There's a clear gap in our strength, why are you still so confident? Do you think whatever talisman you have with you can work? I told you, I already sealed off this area, there is no escaping from you. I've never lost a target before." The girl said coldly. 

"Haha, you call that a seal? I already sensed it from the moment I stepped into this place. I even made a few tweaks to it, I'm just waiting for my friend." Grey laughed, while laughing, the door opened and three figures walked in, "Would you look at that, right on time." 

Grey cracked his neck and knuckles before asking with a smile, "Now, where were we again? Oh right, killing you." 

The eyes of the girl widened, shocked by Grey's words which were true since she was unable to sense the arrival of the three people who just entered the place.
