Affinity:Chaos

The Elder looked at Grey, amazed. He didn't expect Grey to use such an extreme method to justify himself. Other than the top geniuses in the Faction, he didn't think there would be anyone who could achieve such a feat.

"Proud fool, you're going to expose yourself with this. Four of us is enough to show the fraud you are." The young lady said.

Grey chuckled when he heard this. The young lady's words had already given her away. The fact that she didn't say she could defeat him alone showed that Grey was stronger than her.

The Elder didn't need to see Grey fight against them before he knew the young lady was lying. However, he wanted to see Grey's strength with his eyes.

"Come with me, the others should continue with the normal procedure." He signaled to Grey and Keith, along with the group of ten.

If Grey managed to beat them alone, then he was the one who was killing all the beasts at the Peak of Rank Five. Grey was still on the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane, this was the most significant factor about everything. A lot of people feel there isn't much of a difference between the Ninth and the Eighth stage, but for geniuses, there was a massive difference. Any genius who could not only defeat another genius in the Ninth stage but multiple geniuses was someone that was on a different level entirely.

One has to know that the beasts Grey defeated were not normal Peak Rank Five beasts, rather, they could be grouped among the elites in that stage. Only those geniuses at the Peak of the Overlord Plane from these top Factions and Families could achieve such a feat.

The fact that the young lady's group of ten couldn't kill the snake showed just how powerful it was. Yet, Grey did it all by himself.

After taking them to a separate place with a platform, the Elder told them to wait and vanished. He appeared a few minutes later, accompanied by two other Elders, an old man wearing white loose clothes, and a middle-aged man.

"They will stand as judges for the battle." The first Elder said.

"As long as we defeat him, we win, right?" The young lady asked, to confirm if Grey's words were taken seriously.

"Yes, as long as all ten of you can defeat him, then you're the winner. Not just that, but he will be kicked out and you will join the Faction." The Elder said.

"All ten of us?" The young lady asked.

The Elder nodded.

The young lady looked at the others with a smile and they quickly prepared themselves for the battle.

Grey on the other hand was staring at them with an amused smile. He felt like he was staring at a group of fools. From the Elder's expression and words, he could discern the Elder had already come to a conclusion, he only wanted to test him out, after all, he was the one who brought the suggestion in the first place.

"Are you really going through with this?" Keith asked Grey, a little worried.

He knew Grey was powerful, and he was confident if it was only four people, but against ten people, his confidence wasn't high.

"Relax, they can't beat me, even if I decide not to attack." Grey said calmly before walking forward.

He knew the group already knew some of his attacks, so they must have thought of a way to counter it, especially his gravitational force field. However, he had a few tricks up his sleeve that he hadn't shown yet.

"Are you ready?" The Elder asked Grey and the group.

Grey nodded, likewise the group.

The young lady decided all ten of them would fight against Grey. Since the Elder said they would get into the Faction if they managed to defeat Grey, she wanted to be certain of their qualification.

"Alright, begin." The Elder declared the start of the battle.

Grey took the initiative in the attack and vanished.

The eyes of the Elders brightened when they saw this. Space Elementalists are one of the few Elementalists who can fight with multiple opponents thanks to their quick movement. This gave them a little confidence in Grey's ability.

"Spread out." The young lady said as soon as Grey vanished.

The group separated, ensuring that what happened during their first encounter didn't repeat itself.

Grey appeared close to one of them in the Eighth stage and attacked. He didn't plan on using the same strategy to begin with.

The Eighth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist blocked the attack, but he was sent flying from the impact.

The others rushed over to assist him. One on one, they were no match for Grey, so they didn't want that to happen.

Grey resisted the urge of trying to continue his attack. He knew it was impossible, with a spread of his arms, three inscriptions lit up in the sky and attacked those around. One of the inscriptions sent an attack at the Eighth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist he attacked.

He also sent out attacks as well.

The Elders watched the battle with a smile of approval, just Grey's first moves showed he was a well-seasoned fighter, unlike most geniuses.

He displayed three elements already, fire, lightning, and space element, which already made him good. The fact that both his lightning and fire element were special types made things even better.

Being an Inscriber also amazed them. A Space Elementalist was also great against a large group, being an Inscriber made Grey even more overpowered.

Grey and the group continued fighting, and even when fighting against so many people, he was able to protect himself from any sneak attack. Grey's battle awareness was something unlike others his age.

Three minutes into the battle. Grey was finally able to take out one of the group. At this moment, he showed his fourth element, the earth element.

The Elders looked at Grey, and all they could say was…

'He's a complete package.'
