Boom!
Grey's figure slammed into the ground, causing a large crater on the ground.
The man stood in the air, like a supreme overlord, he looked down with disdain.
Grey might be powerful, but he didn't believe he was on the same level as himself. Yes, when he was in the Pseudo-sovereign stage, he wouldn't dare to fight against a Sovereign, and even if he did, he wouldn't do as good as Grey's doing at the moment. This however doesn't change the fact that he didn't think much of Grey.
To him, Grey was a youngster who overestimated his abilities and is paying for it. Anyone in their right minds would've tried to escape, but Grey was fighting with him which he saw as a sign of disrespect. A Sovereign should never be disrespected, this was something that was common, unless it was by another more powerful Sovereign.
Grey, an individual who just got to the Pseudo-sovereign stage was challenging him in a battle and didn't even try to escape.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man was still staring at the ground when a lightning orb shot at him. The lightning orb had Grey's blue flames surrounding it.
When it got close to the man, he blocked it, but it exploded, sending out frightening levels of force.
The man felt his body shake, but he didn't show it out. This attack from Grey was stronger than anything he had used since the start of the fight. If Grey could continue using this attack, there's a chance he might be able to cause the man some injuries.
This made the man even more infuriated. At the moment, he was angered by Grey's stunning abilities. Envy clouded his mind and he was genuinely ready to kill Grey without even thinking of keeping him captive. Such a figure was too dangerous to capture and left alive. He would rather he killed Grey and look for other ways to increase his strength than to try to collect any reward from either the Dawson Family or the Gnomes.
Grey shot out of the dust and attacked. This time, he used a three element fusion orb. He didn't want to use all the elements since he wasn't sure he would be able to control his new strength. At the moment, he was using this to test his strength.
This time, the man didn't try to block it, rather, he dodged it. But the fusion orb chased after him.
A pleasant smile was on Grey's face when he saw this. The effects of the man's previous attack had worn off so he wasn't in any pain. With his defensive armor and scales, it was very difficult for him to sustain injuries. Not just that, but on most occasions, he uses his light element as soon as he feels any pain in his body. This made it easy for him to quickly recover from such impacts of attacks, especially when there's no significant injuries.
The man was running to escape from Grey's attack, while Grey stood on the same spot with a mocking expression on his face. He could tell the man was very proud, so the best way to get to him was by using Klaus' technique of baiting. In a short time, the man would succumb to his emotions and would try to kill Grey at all costs.
At the moment, the man wasn't a hundred percent into wanting to kill Grey, he was only attacking due to what he had experienced. Once he steeled his mind into wanting to kill Grey, he would take attacks like these just to get closer to Grey and attack.
The man saw Grey's expression, but he didn't lose control of himself. While evading the attack, he sent an attack Grey's way.
Grey stood his ground and actually took the attack head-on. To the shock of the man, unlike the previous outcome, Grey only took a few steps back.
"This is all a Sovereign can muster? I'm ashamed." He shook his head at the man who violently struck Grey's fusion orb that had been pestering him for a few seconds.
Grey laughed when he saw the man's reaction, he attacked once again, this time, using two fusion orbs, both had four elements. He was starting to get serious. There was no way he would let this man win. Of course, he knew keeping the man here was impossible, but he could at least use the man as a means to master his new strength and grow stronger.
His aim was to keep the man for as long as possible. The man wanted to kill him, but he was confident there's no way that was happening. All he needed to do was to use the talisman given to him by his Faction Leader, he would be able to kill this man with a single attack. Even if the man survives, he would be fatally wounded. His Faction Leader was a stronger Sovereign, after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man saw both orbs coming his way and shot straight through them. Making them explode in the process. He was heading towards Grey with a vicious expression.
Grey didn't expect his sudden reaction so he was caught off-guard.
The man was a Wind Elementalist, being in the Sovereign Plane meant that compared to a Venerable or Pseudo-sovereign, he was faster and stronger. He used his superior speed and ability to cut through the attack while quickly blasting through before it exploded.
Grey realized he underestimated the man and quickly changed his tactic.
'I wonder how powerful he is, physically?'
This was something Grey was certain he had the advantage over the man. And there's only one way to find out, getting close to the man and attacking.
The man was coming towards Grey quickly, but Grey didn't shy away, rather, he used his explosive speed and moved at a speed that was slightly faster than the man's speed.
Due to his incredible physique, Grey had shocking explosive speed. In a short dash, he might even be faster than a Second stage Wind Elementalist, much less this man that was in the First stage.
