1269 A Facade
Grey stood mid-air, awaiting the final attack of their spar. If he blocks this, then he technically has the advantage, if he’s unable to block it, it will be a defeat for him.
He wanted to use the golden energy, but in the end, he managed to restrain himself from doing that. There was no need in using all his trump cards now.
He took in a deep breath and started creating multiple chaos orbs. This time, he created the original chaos orb, using a bit of all eight elements he had access to.
The energy contained in the chaos orb seemed to be able to rival Klaus’ ice needle. One has to know that Klaus was currently at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, and his strength was superior to most Peak Elemental Venerables, yet, Grey was matching him in terms of attack power. It was unknown how Grey has been able to achieve this, but his potential was something that scared even his parents who were watching.
This was the first time they were seeing Grey use his greatest attack power, and they were beyond stunned.
Klaus, looked at Grey and couldn’t help but complain, “What’s wrong with him? Can’t we just beat him once?”
“Fuck it! Take your lose and go man!” Reynolds complained as well.
He thought this was their chance to finally get the win over Grey, but from the looks of it, Grey didn’t have any plans of losing to them.
He stayed in his merged state, and without delay, he created a powerful lightning spear. After creating the spear, he was completely drained, he couldn’t even keep his Elemental Warrior active any more as he used up too much essence while creating the spear.
Alice, seeing this, also joined in, creating a three colored arrow. The arrowhead had the silver color indicating the lightning element, the red for the fire element, and light blue for her ice ability.
Klaus exchanged glances with all three and they released their attacks simultaneously.
Grey opened his palm and the chaos orb shot at the three attacks. He created just one chaos orb, but this was the strongest attack he has ever created since he started his cultivation journey. It might be attributed to the fact that he was stronger now, but it also has a lot to do with all he has learned all this while. He had a better understanding of his elements and is able to compress the chaos orb to a frightening level.
The current chaos orb was so small it could fit into the hole of a person’s ear. The smaller he compresses the orb, the more deadly it is.

Boom!
All four attacks collided, and it was followed with a powerful explosion that rocked the mountain the group were fighting on.
….
Outside.
Lucas, Martha, and Grey’s grandfather stared at the scene in utter awe of the group’s strength. At such a young age, being able to use such strength was unimaginable.
Each of them had exceeded what they thought of them, Grey and Klaus especially. Reynolds was also amazing, and so was Alice, but Klaus and Grey were a notch above the duo.
Klaus being better than Reynolds was more like a one time thing since it was obvious that he couldn’t use the full moon for more than one attack, hence the use of it at the end. Reynolds could stay in his merged state for a long time which gave him the advantage over Klaus in a prolonged battle, well, that’s if Klaus doesn’t take him out with this attack.
None of them made a move, they watched anxiously, waiting for who would come out on top among the friends. Grey was practically fighting against three of the best geniuses the Continent has produced in a long time, yet he was able to match them. At the moment, it was unfair to rate him alongside other geniuses, he was in a league of his own.
The explosion died down and all four people could be seen standing mid-air.
….
Klaus clenched his fists when he saw that Grey was still standing with a calm expression. His clothes were slightly damaged, but he looked fine. They, on the other hand, didn’t look the best.
“It’s a tie.” He said before flying down.
He was expended, only a fool would want to continue fighting with a freak like Grey. Thinking about Grey’s insane physical strength, he was more than satisfied with taking a draw.
Alice and Reynolds followed behind him, all fully aware of his thoughts.
Grey watched them descend, looking at the destruction their attack caused, he wanted to open his mouth, but blood came from the side of his mouth. Seeing that none of them saw it, he wiped off the blood and flew down to meet up with his friends. His light element was doing it’s best to make sure it healed him as fast as possible.
The impact of the attack was something that he knew would be almost impossible to defend against. Even with his armor and everything, he was still badly hurt by it. A few days rest and he would be fine, but for now, he has to pretend to be okay in front of Klaus and the others.
When he got down, he didn’t walk up to them first, he still couldn’t speak. There was still blood in his throat, waiting to come out.
Martha saw how blood came out of Grey’s mouth, the others with her did as well, but none of them spoke about it. Since Grey was able to chase Klaus and the others away with his facade, then it was best they left them alone.
Klaus walked over to them, seeing Grey, he couldn’t help but hit him softly on the shoulder, “Bud, you should’ve at least let us win.”
The second Klaus’ hand hit Grey, Grey almost spat out the blood in his throat, while hissing from the pain of being hit on the back.
