Chapter 507 - Tough Battle

Of the two young men left, one of them was from the Pyro Faction, while the other was from one of the big families in Ernst City.

The young man from one of the big families looked at the other from the Pyro Faction, seeing that he wasn't making any moves, he took a step forward.

Walking towards the platform with steadied footsteps, he stared at Grey all the way. He couldn't hide the fact that he was surprised and impressed by Grey's performance. He wasn't sure he would be able to fight this long. If he was to take breaks, then he wouldn't have any problems, but Grey had barely taken any rest.

Not just that, but they all knew how terrifying Petra was, but seeing how Grey was able to easily defeat her, they guessed he was her natural enemy, meaning she was powerless against him.

After stepping onto the platform, he didn't say a word, waiting for the head of the Gayle family to call for the start of the battle.

"Ready?" The head of the Gayle family asked both fighters.

Grey and the young man nodded simultaneously.

"Alright, begin!"

With a simple step, the young man suddenly disappeared.

Bang!

Grey created an ice wall on his right which blocked the attack of the young man.

The young man was unexpectedly a Multi Elementalist, having two elements that boosted speed, and the earth element for defense and powerful attacks.

The earth hammer that he sent towards Grey was easily blocked by the ice wall, but cracks appeared on the wall.

He didn't stop there, attacking with his lightning element.

A streak of thunder shot across the sky before shooting towards Grey's head.

Grey didn't try to dodge the attack, he gave a small smile, before opening his mouth, and like a Dragon, he spat out flames that blasted towards the lightning coming towards him.

Boom!

Both attacks clashed, causing an explosion.

The young man already prepared his next set of attacks, using the wind element to bolster the speed of the earth arrows he made, shooting them towards Grey at breakneck speed.

The arrows quickly created a hole in the ice wall shielding Grey.

Grey dodged from side to side, making sure he wasn't hit by any of the earth arrows. The earth arrows might be small, but they all packed a powerful punch.

Bang! Boom! Bam!

The battle raged on with both fighters exchanging moves from left to right.

The young man was the fastest opponent Grey had met, and he was using his speed to the fullest. He seemed to have learned a thing or two from Grey's previous battles, so he knew when to retreat and when to constantly attack.

He had been able to make sure Grey didn't have the time to make his inscriptions, while also being aware of Grey's movements. They've all found out that Grey was able to defeat Phoebe because he made a small array that aided his teleportation.

Boom!

Grey was sent flying by an attack, but while still mid-air, he spread out his hands, sending out a stream of flames to make sure the young man didn't get the chance to attack him while he was mid-air.

After doing that, he vanished, appearing on the platform once again. The moment he appeared, the young man attacked with the lightning element, sending out lightning spears.

Grey dodged once again, using the space element to dodge the attack.

Other than dodging, he still hadn't used the space element to its full effect. He still had a very valuable skill he was saving for when he would fight against those in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, switch.

If he were to use it now, then he would definitely be able to quickly defeat this young man. But that would mean showing his remaining opponents the skill and giving them a chance to find a way to counter it. Although it was a difficult skill to counter, it didn't mean it was impossible.

Bang! Boom!

They started their brawl once again, each sending the other flying whenever the opportunity came, but none have been able to get the upper hand. Although it was clear to all that the young man was stronger than Grey, he was unable to defeat him. After all, it wasn't like he was the first person who had shown strength that was more than Grey's. Yet, Grey has managed to not only fight against them, but he had defeated them as well.

"Meteor descent," Grey used one of his most powerful moves.

The young man created a tornado that he used to ward off the fire coming his way. He countered by creating a lightning blade he slashed towards Grey.

Bang!

Grey blocked the attack but was forced to crash down because of the force of the attack.

Bam!

He landed on the ground but quickly dodged to the left because of the attack the young man sent in his direction.

The young man continued attacking with his lightning blade, not giving Grey the chance to rest.

Bang! Boom!

Grey's expression was one of utmost seriousness, making sure he didn't give the young man any chance to hit him properly.

"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on Grey's face when he was unable to move.

He looked down and saw his leg had been clamped by the earth element, reaching his knee.

The next lightning blade slash that came his way appeared just as quickly. Since he was stuck, he was forced to either take the blow head-on or use the space element. But given the distance of the attack, he wasn't too confident in being able to dodge the attack with his space element.

Even though the space element was fast, he wasn't that good with it yet. Void could easily dodge an attack that was already so close that it was touching his fur, Grey on the other hand couldn't, for now.

'Damn it!'

He infused the fire element in his fist, before sending a punch to the slash that was coming his way.

Boom!
