978 Resorting To Devious Methods
A clear thought out plan appeared in Grey’s mind as he planned to implement it as soon as possible. He needed to make sure he eliminated the young lady with the shortest effort.
Everyone watching the battle could tell that he was being suppressed, but for some reason, no one felt that he had lost. Given the surprises he had given them since the start of the competition, they couldn’t rule him out from anything, if anything, some of them, especially those from the Burchard Family felt that he would once again produce a miracle.
The battle continued, with the young lady attacking with multiple lightning attacks. Grey evaded and blocked the attacks he could while occasionally countering as well.
He had been hit by a few attacks which had caused him a few injuries.
Just when the young lady was starting to get the confidence that she would be able to take him out, something happened that shocked everyone in the area.
Grey’s eyes glowed with a pale blue light as a light beam shot out from his eyes into the eyes of the young lady. It happened so fast that no one expected it.
The young lady froze, seemingly unable to move. Ice crystals started to form around her body as she visibly started to freeze.
Grey used the opportunity he had presented himself and attacked. Three inscriptions appeared in the sky while his domains also appeared.
An orb appeared on his fingertip that he sent in the direction of the young lady.
Boom!
Just as the young lady was about to regain some clarity, she saw the attacks coming her way and tried to block them, but it knocked her flying.
Grey’s figure appeared beside her and she felt a powerful repulsion force that sent her in the direction of the explosion.
Grey’s plan was clear, he wanted to make sure she suffered from the attack.
The young lady slammed into the area of the explosion and her scream resonated in the area.
The old man sighed with a shake of his head, even he was starting to fear Grey at the moment. With a wave of his hand, he removed the young lady from harm’s way.
“You win.”
Grey nodded before walking back to his seat.
‘Just how many trump cards does he have?’
This was what was going through every single individual’s mind. Grey had come up with a trump card in each of his battles to defeat his opponents. What was worse was that he never showed all of them at once. Whenever people thought he had used everything, he would use another one that no one knew of, making life hell for his opponents.
‘Icy flames, is that even possible?’
The old man looked at Grey. Grey had used his blue flames which were clearly special flames, but from this mental attack he did just now, everyone saw the ice crystals forming on the body of the young lady. This meant only one thing, Grey had two special flames.
He was the first person they had heard of having such an ability.
‘This kid, he’s going to shake the world very soon.’ The old man kept giving Grey a long look before looking away.
Those from the Burchard Family watched Grey return to his seat with shock on their faces. Every single time he had returned from a battle, shock had appeared on the faces of those from the Burchard Family, it was almost like they didn’t know what else to feel.
They couldn’t be blamed since every time Grey fought, he shocked them with his abilities.
Now, they were all looking at Sylvia, seemingly wondering how she managed to get such a monster to fight for them.
On the side of the Nether Faction, the faces of everyone, including the youths, were sour. Grey had single-handedly changed the tides of the competition. Even though the competition had not ended, the advantage the Nether Faction had over the Burchard Family was gone.
Now, both sides had four members left, and each person stepping out to challenge someone had only one chance. If one of them lost and someone from the Burchard Family won, that would put them at the disadvantage. From having a large advantage to being equal and even risking being at the disadvantage.
Before coming here, if they were told they would face a situation like this, they wouldn’t believe it, especially since the person changing everything was a young man in the Fifth stage.
Scott recalled when he mocked those from the Burchard Family when he sensed Grey’s aura at that time. From what has happened, he felt embarrassed at the thought of it. Now he understood why those from the Burchard Family didn’t bother with him when he mocked them.
“You’re going next, he’s exhausted, this is your chance. Eliminate him, use that technique.” Scott said to the young man standing close to him.
This young man could be regarded as the second strongest individual from the Nether Faction in the Sage Plane, only below Scott, however, Scott was even telling him to use a secret technique to increase his strength so he could defeat Grey.
The young man nodded his head before walking to the platform. When he stood there, unlike others, he looked at Grey, his intentions were clear, and he wanted to challenge Grey.
Grey, who hadn’t even gotten up to three minutes of rest, saw that he was being challenged once again.
“That’s not fair, this is too much.”
This time, everyone from the Burchard Family stood up. They couldn’t afford to allow Grey to lose. They could tell that as long as he rested, then he had a good chance of even challenging Scott. Why would they want their lucky star to risk being eliminated by such devious methods of the Nether Faction?
The last three people who had stepped forward from the Burchard Family had challenged Grey. Adding this young man made it four. If Grey fought four intense battles, they didn’t think he would be able to create another miracle after the previous three.
