Chapter 505 - Fighting Against A Speedster II
'That took longer than expected,' Grey thought as he once again dodged Phoebe's attack.
Bang!
The attack slammed into the side of the platform.
'Alright, time to counterattack,' Grey smiled before vanishing.
For the first time since their battle started, Grey used the space element when he was not under any attack.
Phoebe tensed up, waiting patiently for where Grey would appear.
"Left," She turned to her left quickly while sending out a powerful swirling flame.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Boom!
The attack missed its target as there was no one there.
'Hmm, he's gone again. Heh! If he thinks he can defeat me this way then he's underestimating my capabilities,' Phoebe scoffed.
Grey's figure soon popped out from behind her, but she was ready once again, attacking quickly while retreating backward.
Boom!
The attack hit empty air once again as Grey's figure was nowhere to be seen. Just before Phoebe was able to steady herself after retreating, Grey's figure popped up once again from her back.
Bang!
Grey attacked as soon as he came out this time.
"*Sigh* He's won again," The Faction Leader shook his head dejectedly.
Although he wasn't too hopeful in Phoebe winning, he still had some hope when Grey was on the back foot.
Grey isn't as powerful as Phoebe, but he was more experienced in battling, knowing when to defend and attack. This was the true strength of a fighter. Battles aren't always about power, but brains. A smart opponent can easily wipe out an army if given resources and a chance to plan properly.
"Isn't it expected? He might be weaker than those left, but his battle experience is higher. Not just that, but having multiple elements and being smart enough to use it in the most ingenious ways makes him an opponent people wouldn't want to meet. If he were to be a stage or two lower than me, I wouldn't dare to fight against him," The lady said.
The Faction Leader nodded, he couldn't refute the fact that Grey was a tad above others his age when it came to battles. He was also very cool and collected when forced into a tough situation, making it difficult to force him to make wrong decisions.
....
The battle went on and Phoebe continued getting hit by Grey's attacks. After almost ten minutes of the constant barrage of attacks, Phoebe was forced to her knees.
"It's over. I win," Grey said, appearing before her.
"I guess so," Phoebe replied before standing up.
She gave Grey a deep look before turning around, heading back to the area those from the Pyro Faction were sitting. Since she had been defeated, she had turned to one of the audience watching the battle.
Grey heaved a sigh of relief, this battle was tougher than he expected, but he was happy with the result.
"Will you continue?" The head of the Gayle family asked.
To his surprise, Grey shook his head.
This battle took a lot from him, he wanted to take a fifteen minutes break to recover. The head of the Gayle family nodded, before taking his seat.
None of the people in the arena complained when Grey said he wanted to rest. He had been fighting for almost four hours now, alone, against a large group of people. Not many people could last this long. What was more exciting was that there would be more thrilling battles to come, and the possibility of Grey losing soon is very high. This can be seen in his battle against Phoebe.
Although he managed to win in the end, it wasn't as easy as it used to be. Not everyone in the Second stage was as powerful as Phoebe, there were two or three more just as strong if not stronger than her. Then, there's the group in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane.
If Grey manages to get to that point, then he would most certainly lose.
This was what everyone in the crowd was thinking, but they were all impressed by his performance nonetheless.
