nOf 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.

nThe 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.

nWalking 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 bȧrėly taken any rest.

nNot 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.

nAfter 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.

n

"Ready?

" The head of the Gayle family asked both fighters.

nGrey and the young man nodded simultaneously.

n

"Alright, begin!

"

nBang!

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

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

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

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

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

nGrey 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.

nBoom!

nBoth attacks clashed, causing an explosion.

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

nGrey 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.

nBang! Boom! Bam!

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

nThe 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.

nHe 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.

nBoom!

nGrey 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.

nAfter 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.

nOther 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.

nIf 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.

nBang! Boom!

nThey started their brawl once again, each sending the other flying whenever the opportunity came, but 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.

n

"Meteor descent,

" Grey used one of his most powerful moves.

nThe 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.

nBang!

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

nBam!

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

nBang! Boom!

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

n

"Huh?

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

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

nThe 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.

nEven 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.

n'Damn it!'

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