Chapter 127 - Psychopath
"Killing you will be an enjoyable experience." The Darkness Elementalist said icily while facing Klaus.
Of the group of four, Klaus was the one he hated the most because the first person to hurt him was Klaus, and he didn't hurt him alone, but he started to rub it in. And from his expression when saying it, it looks like he relishes the experience of hurting him.
"Hey, blockhead! Your opponent is me. We had an unfinished business, remember?" Grey called the Darkness Elementalist while changing positions with Klaus.
"I'll leave him to you, I don't want to defile my hands with his expired blood." Klaus turned to Grey fist-bumping him as he walked past him.
The Darkness Elementalist almost charged at Klaus when he heard this remark. This was the most annoying person he had ever come across in his life.
"I'll see where that sharp tongue of yours gets you. After I'm done with him, you're next, maggot." The Darkness Elementalist calmed himself before replying.
"I don't think you'll live long enough to see this maggot transform into a beautiful butterfly, corpse." Klaus retorted smugly.
"Uhmm... Klaus, maggots don't transform into butterflies, caterpillars do." Reynolds whispered into Klaus's ears when he got close to him.
"I know. But you don't expect me to say transform into a fly, right?" Klaus smiled happily, clearly excited by how quick-witted he was.
"Yeah, you do have a point there." Reynolds nodded on hearing Klaus's response.

"Wait, do maggots transform into butterflies?" One of the companions of the Darkness Elementalist couldn't help but ask his comrade next to him.
"I have no idea. But I don't think they do." His comrade shook his head after pondering for some time.
"I'll have to find out from his mouth personally." The youth said before positioning himself opposite Klaus. Obviously, he had chosen his opponent.

Grey chuckled lightly when he heard Klaus's reply, but he quickly regained himself and focused on the opponent ahead of him. It was time for him to test the limit of his strength, and no opponent would be better than the young man in front of him. Although he wasn't too confident in being able to defeat the Darkness Elementalist after seeing his impressive battle when they were fighting against the protectors, he still didn't back down, rather, he was pretty excited.
He knew his strength, and the only way he could defeat the Darkness Elementalist easily was if he entered the Fusion State, which is impossible for the current him since it hadn't been long he used it. And even if he could use it, he wouldn't use the State, unless it was absolutely necessary.
"You're the first person in my generation I've regarded to be almost on par with me. It's a shame we are meant to be enemies. Had we met on a different circ.u.mstance, there was a chance we might have become good friends." The Darkness Elementalist praised Grey for his strength.
"You're not bad yourself, but, I already have great friends who I wouldn't change for anything in the world." Grey shrugged.
Boom! Bang!
The Darkness Elementalist who had just destroyed Grey's fire attack was pushed back four meters hitting the rock behind him in the process, by the lightning attack that followed behind the fire attack.
"You're a Dual Elementalist." The Darkness Elementalist looked at Grey in shock.
From the first time he saw Grey, he had only witnessed him using the fire element. Even when fighting against the protectors, he took peeks at Grey's battle, and he didn't see him use a second element, so he concluded Grey was a Single Elementalist with terrifying physical prowess, and nothing more.
"What? Do you think you're the only one allowed to wield multiple elements?" Grey asked when he saw the expression of his opponent.
The Darkness Elementalist refrained from speaking and instead, lashed out with another attack. Now, he didn't know if Grey was still hiding his strength or not.
'I'll have to kill him. If he doesn't die, he might become someone that could foil our plans later in the future.' The Darkness Elementalist thought.
Grey and the Darkness Elementalist started their intense battle once again with the Darkness Elementalist having the upper hand in most of the exchanges.
____
Klaus's battle.
Bang!
"Hehe! Do you think you can fight against me? I'll beat you into a pighead." Klaus proclaimed after striking his opponent once again.
Of all the fighters, Klaus's opponent was currently the most depressed one. The reason for that was that Klaus wasn't only beating him physically, but he was also beating him emotionally.
Who are the worst opponents to fight against? The ones who curse at you even when they are beating you up! And Klaus fell perfectly into that category.
Klaus's opponent was on the brink of having a mental breakdown. The words Klaus had told him were things that shouldn't be said, he still hasn't been able to decipher some. And truthfully, he didn't dare to. He was afraid he might go crazy if he were to discover the meaning of the words.
But things went from bad to worse when Klaus would actively start to explain the meaning of some of the words he was telling him when he notices the expression of confusion on his face.
"How can you call yourself a normal person! You're a psychopath!" Klaus's opponent yelled with tears-filled eyes.
"Thanks for the compliment. Kekeke." Klaus's hysterical laughter rang out.
"Aron, let's switch opponents." With no option left, he could only seek the help of his friend.
"Okay." Aron who was one of the people fighting against Alice switched places with his friend.
"*Sigh* Reynolds, look, my initial opponent ran away. I'm just too awesome." Klaus sighed putting on the air of an expert before calling on Reynolds who was having a difficult battle.
