Chapter 314 - Twenty Seconds
Grey stood on the platform, staring at the young lady who was standing before him.
The young lady's brother who previously challenged Grey suddenly stepped forward, "You coward! You couldn't fight against me, but you agreed to fight against my sister who's weaker..."
"Oh, I was just about to call you over. Beating her wouldn't satisfy my current d?s?r?, why don't you join her?" Grey tilted his head to the side to look at the young man.
"Hmph! Do you think you can defeat me?" William snorted before stepping into the platform.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
The middle-aged man who was in charge of the rules was about to step in, but Gerald stopped him. He wanted to see how Grey would be able to handle this issue.
William was among the few people who were in the Seventh stage of the Origin Plane, added to his sister who's in the Third stage, he didn't think Grey's chances of winning would be high. In fact, he believed Grey would most likely lose, miserably.
William is from the Smith family, being someone who's only twenty-five years old but already in the Seventh stage of the Origin Plane, it showed how hard he trained. Well, he couldn't compare him with Grey who didn't seem to be even twenty yet but was already in the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane. But he still felt Grey would lose if he fought against the siblings.
"So much for being calculative," He muttered quietly.
On the platform, Grey was facing off against both siblings.
'*Phew* This better be worth it,' He thought internally.
Fighting here is almost the same as revealing his identity, since the Emperor's people were in Frost City, then they would obviously be here as well. While he was speaking with Aldreda previously, one of the topics they mostly spoke about was Gerald.
His current plan is simple, find a way to get Gerald behind him. He didn't know how long he would be staying in Frost City, and the longer he stays, the more dangerous it becomes. But if he could have ties with someone as powerful as Gerald, then he wouldn't need to worry about anything else and focus fully on finding Alice.
"Are you ready?" He asked the duo standing before him.
His confidence stunned the crowd as well as the duo in front of him. Other than those in the Overlord Plane, the rest thought he was a First stage Origin Plane Elementalist, so they didn't know where his confidence was coming from.
What caused the explosion was Grey covering his hand with his fire element when he saw the lightning wall blocking his path. Then he also used the wind element to stabilize himself so he could land properly after being sent flying by the aftereffect of the explosion.
William reacted quickly just like the first time, but this time, his face was covered in horror.
A large fire snake was currently making its way towards him very quickly, while multiple fire arrows shot towards his sister who was still trying to stand up from the ground.
Boom! Bam!
The lightning wall William made in front of him couldn't block Grey's fire snake, so it exploded once again. The impact sent him flying, his sister who was struck by the fire arrows shot straight out of the platform, slamming into the empty seats by the side.
William crashed into the ground, and just as his body bounced up, Grey appeared before him and delivered a kick to his midsection that sent him flying in his sister's direction.
Bang!
William slammed onto the empty seats as well, just two meters away from his sister.
Twenty seconds, all it took was twenty seconds and Grey completely dominated the siblings. One has to recall that although William's sister was weak, William himself was by no means weak, not even those in the Seventh stage could beat him this easily.
"He won the battle with the first strike, unbelievable," Gerald said, shocked.
This wasn't the outcome he predicted, no one expected this to happen. Grey literally just manhandled the siblings, and they couldn't even fight back. They weren't even able to defend, much less fighting back.
"What... what just happened?" Aldreda asked with a stunned expression.
But she was met with no reply, her sisters, as well as Randel, were looking at Grey in a dumbfounded state. They were not the only ones not speaking, the entire place was deathly quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Grey looked at the location where both siblings landed, before shaking his head. Although he warned he would kill them, he didn't actually kill them.
"Anyone else?" He asked while looking at the crowd.
His question was met by the same deathly silence. Everyone was staring at him, but no one could say a word.
