Chapter 498 - The Challenge Begins
"Oh crap," One of the young men said.
He didn't have any confidence in being able to block what was before them.
In front of the ice wall, three large inscriptions were facing the group, all glowing with different colors of light.
As soon as the young man completed his statement, the inscriptions released powerful attacks.
The three inscriptions covered a large area, giving each of them the chance to release a large-scale attack. This was exactly what Grey did with them.
The lightning inscription sent out multiple lightning bolts, and the fire inscription released flaming birds which exploded as they got close to where the group of five were standing. The water inscription attacked with ice arrows.
Boom! Bam! Bang!
All the attacks were released so fast that the group didn't have time to retreat. They were all forced to try to defend them.
After only a few seconds, their defenses crumbled, leaving them defenseless against the attacks.
Boom!
A larger explosion happened, sending all five fighters flying.
Crash! Bam!
They all landed in different areas, but all outside the platform.
"Next," Grey's apathetic voice resounded once again.
Just like how he had been doing, he fought against five in the first round. The five consisted of two young men who were Water Elementalists, and three young ladies with the lightning, wind, and earth element respectively.
The battle started explosively, but Grey was able to withstand the flurry of attacks the group sent at him before he began his counterattack. After only a few moves, he defeated the first group, with relative ease.
The next round soon started and he continued his dominant battling, defeating them within a few moves. None of the groups could last up to two minutes against him.
It was like they didn't know how to fight against him. All the groups who had entered the platform have all tried a different approach, but they have all been meant with the same outcome, defeat.
It didn't take long before the people at the Peak of the Origin Plane slowly started to lose hope. It's one thing knowing you can't defeat someone, it's another knowing that even with four more people with you, you're still no match for the person.
After an hour, those at the Peak of the Origin Plane gave up, and surprisingly, no one in the crowd found their choice odd. They could already tell from the first battle that there was no hope for them.
What was more shocking was that amongst those at the Peak of the Origin Plane, there were geniuses who could fight against some Elementalists who just broke through to the Overlord Plane. But none of them felt they were strong enough to hold out against Grey.
....
"It's time for those in the First stage of the Overlord Plane to step forward," The head of the Gayle family said, he turned to look at Grey, "Boy, do you need a break?"
"I'm good, start the next battle," Grey shook his head.
Although he had been fighting for over three hours, he wasn't really tired. He had barely moved from the spot he stood since he started to attack with his elements, and thanks to the training he had with the lady, he could now greatly maximize the essence spent while bringing out greater attack power.
"Alright, since you've decided we will continue with the battle," The head of the Gayle family replied.
He was already starting to lose hope since he didn't see anyone who he thought could defeat Grey. But, there are fifteen people in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, and they're all from the Pyro Faction.
With them around, no matter how monstrous Grey was, he shouldn't be able to defeat them, right?
Grey looked in the direction of those in the Overlord Plane.
