Chapter 1481 Battling A Sovereign

Chapter 1481  Battling A Sovereign

Grey was on the verge of awakening his wind domain, while the Pseudo-sovereign was on the verge of getting to the Sovereign Plane.

A few moments later.

Both parties burst into laughter simultaneously as the essence faded off.

The man had gotten to the Sovereign Plane. But he didn't know why Grey was laughing in delight. He took a closer look at Grey and realized that he had gotten to the Pseudo-sovereign stage.

He laughed even harder when he sensed this.

A Pseudo-sovereign against a Sovereign was not even a contest. The Sovereign would defeat the Pseudo-sovereign at any encounter.

Grey didn't think much about the man. He looked at himself in pride. Yes, he failed to break through to the Sovereign Plane, but it didn't change the fact that he was one step closer to it.

Getting to the Sovereign Plane from the Pseudo-sovereign stage was easier than getting to it from the Peak of the Venerable Plane.

"Kid, unfortunately, you couldn't stop me. Now, I'll cut off your limbs before taking you to my hideout." The man laughed.

"I'm sorry, but you're not enough to make me scared." Grey didn't feel any pressure from the First stage Sovereign standing before him.

He could sense the power coursing through his body and knew what he was capable of. A First stage Sovereign like this man isn't enough to make him worry, and he was certain of it.

The man didn't think much of Grey's words, he chuckled as he replied, "I'm not going to deny that you're a genius. But a Sovereign against a Pseudo-sovereign? Not a chance."

Grey didn't respond and prepared for a fight. All he needed was for the man to attack and he would retaliate.

The man laughed slightly and sent out a casual attack.

Grey blocked the attack, but he was forced a few steps back.

The sight of this made the man laugh. He knew Grey wasn't his match after his breakthrough, but since Grey wanted to test his ability, he didn't mind waking him back to reality.

'People like this have clouded judgments.'

This was what the man thought of Grey. He felt he was one of those people who didn't know their limits and feel like they can do everything.

He was still Sovereign, yet Grey, a Pseudo-sovereign, felt he had a chance against him. Even if he didn't want to say it, he felt Grey was a fool. Only a moron would have such a thought process.

Grey couldn't be bothered with what the man thought of him. He looked at his hand and couldn't help but shake his head.

'The gap is wider than I thought.'

Grey thought to himself but he didn't show any signs of backing off. The gap might be more than what he imagined, but he was confident he could take down the man.

The man wasn't one of the people Grey would back down against. If he were fighting someone on Alice's or any of his friends' caliber, he would've escaped a long time ago. However, this man was one of the weaker people on the same stage. He knew he could close the gap because of this.

The man didn't think about all this. He had gotten to the much coveted Sovereign Plane, his next step was to grow stronger at a faster pace. As long as he could get to the Mid or Late stages of the Sovereign Plane, he would be almost untouchable in the Aurora Continent. This was the life he had been praying for, and with Grey's rich background, this was the only chance he could achieve it.

Grey looked at the man with cold eyes and said, "I'm not on the same level as you when you were a Pseudo-sovereign. You might not be able to fight against a Sovereign, but I can."

"Haha, I'll like to see that happen." The man laughed and attacked once again.

Grey blocked the attack, but was forced back by the force of the attack. He knew the man's attack was above his own, but he had his ways to fight against it.

He didn't dare to phase through the attacks. The man had gotten to a level where he could affect the space around Grey with his attacks. Doing something like that would only put him in serious danger. He is aware of this and didn't try to do it. He focused mainly on defending and also evading the attacks.

There was no point trying to block all attacks. His scales and defensive suit can't take on attacks like these continuously.

The plan was to let the man drop his guard and attack when he was not suspecting.

The man didn't have any plans of leaving. Seeing that Grey was no match for him, he wanted to relish the feeling of oppressing him before taking him out of the picture.

His attacks were powerful and he forced Grey back with each one.

Grey took each attack calmly, making sure he didn't show any weakness. The man was attacking, Grey was evading and defending.

Time went on and the man started to feel bored of bullying Grey. At first he wanted to fill his ego since Grey made life difficult for him while he was in the Pseudo-sovereign stage. Now that he had the advantage, he wanted to make Grey regret his choice of not escaping when he could.

Grey didn't see anything wrong with what the man was doing, he would've done the same. Well, not really. Unlike most people, he didn't like underestimating his opponents.

He continued taking the man's attacks, and when he noticed the man had changed completely from how he previously was, he knew that things were about to get serious. He increased his guard and didn't let anything slide.

He was facing a Sovereign, someone that could wipe out the entire Azure Continent with one move. Red City wouldn't even survive the aftereffects of such an entity.
