"Heh! How reckless of you, did you think I would be defenseless when my Elemental Warrior was fighting?" The young asked with a smirk.

He had been watching Grey since he summoned his Elemental Warrior, and he surprisingly noticed that Grey focused entirely on it, not giving any attention to him. Grey was lucky he actually tried to attack him at the time he did, or else he had been preparing a powerful attack that would've been able to kill him.

Although the Elemental Warrior took a lot of essences, he could still fight against Grey with his Elemental Warrior active.

Bang!

Grey crashed into the ground, rolling before quickly standing up.

'Hmm, looks like I miscalculated. Unlike the Azure continent, people here can easily fight with their Elemental Warriors active. I was lucky this time, this is a mistake that could cost a life,' He thought seriously.

If not for his speed in retreating, he would've been seriously hurt by the attack. At the time he placed the sword on the neck of the young man, he was completely carefree, not even setting up a defense or anything since he didn't think the young man was of any threat anymore.

Luckily for him, he learned his lesson, although slightly bruised, it wasn't really anything serious.

"My mistake, but I can assure you, you've also taken me too lightly," Grey replied to the young man's words.

Snap!

With a snap of his hands, a light lit up on the platform, it was in the shape of a hexagon. It was the array he learned from that group who captured the Barbarians. This time, instead of using it in an inscription, he created a large array with it, almost covering the entire platform.

The advantage of this was that he could attack the young man and the Elemental Warrior as long as they were standing on the platform with it, not just that, but he could also defend with it. While the array was lighting up, two inscriptions appeared mid-air, one on the left, and one on the right.

"This is me taking you seriously," Grey said after everything was set up.

"Haha, I must say all these are impressive but do you have the mental capacity to use all of them at the same time?" The young man scoffed.

They all looked impressive, but his question was right, it would require a large amount of mental strength to control them while also attacking personally as well. It was like dividing your attention into four separate parts.

"Why don't we check it out?" Grey asked challengingly.

'I'm going all out this time. Although I wouldn't be using all my elements, it wouldn't really change much. I've improved significantly since the start of the battle, and I need to fight those stronger. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can defeat any of them without the Fusion State,' Grey thought to himself.

He knew his strength, fighting against this young man was already very taxing for him, it would be almost impossible for him to defeat those powerful individuals in the Third stage. There are of course a few who aren't as strong as this young man here, but it still didn't mean he could defeat them easily.

"Alright, don't disappoint me," The young man smiled before attacking.

His Elemental Warrior dashed towards Grey while the young man attacked.

An ice shield sprouted out of the ground, blocking the attack of the young man while causing steam to rise up into the air.

Bang!

Grey and the Elemental Warrior got entangled in a fistfight once again.

Not just that, but his inscriptions were attacking the young man, keeping him at bay. Whenever he manages to attack, the array would block the attacks, making sure Grey's battle with the Elemental Warrior wasn't disturbed.

Attacks flew left and right, large explosions occurring at the same time. Not just that, but Grey and the young man were occasionally sent flying by each other's attacks. The Elemental Warrior was occasionally sent flying, but in the battle against Grey, it clearly had the advantage.

….

In the stands.

The crowd watched the battle with their bloods boiling. This fight has been nothing short of thrilling, even if Grey wins or loses, they wouldn't feel bad, some of them were even grateful he was able to give them such exciting battles. Although they didn't know him, they were unconsciously rooting for him to win.

But they were all certain of one thing, if Grey were to break through to the Overlord Plane, then he would dominate the rankings, shooting straight to the top of the Early stages Rankings for Overlord Plane Elementalists. Some of them were even hoping to see him again after he has broken through to the Overlord Plane, he was already this powerful while still in the Origin Plane.

To what extent would his strength be when he breaks through to the Overlord Plane? This was something that had everyone here curious.

….

While the crowd was watching fervently, the battle raged on, getting more aggressive. Blood could be seen dripping from some parts of Grey's body, the young man wasn't any better.

The blue vest was completely out of essence since it had been protecting Grey since the start of the battle.

Bang! Boom!

The young man was sent flying after being attacked by one of the inscriptions. This time, the attack came from nowhere.

After he landed on the ground, a wound could be seen on his back.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up, when he looked around, he noticed a slight change on the platform.

'Damn these Space Elementalists!' He cursed internally.

Grey had added a space array to the platform, this meant that he could move his attacks to wherever he wanted.

Bang!

Grey crashed into the ground after suffering from a blow from the Elemental Warrior.

Splat!

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

His clothes were torn, and blood could be seen dripping from the left side of his lips.

He cleaned it before staring at the young man. Their gazes met, each seeing the unyielding eyes of each other.

Presently, they both knew that the battle would be decided shortly, whoever manages to hold on the longer would be able to win this battle.

Due to controlling two arrays and two inscriptions, Grey's attention was slightly divided, meaning the Elemental Warrior which was originally more powerful than he was is starting to largely gain the upper hand in the battle.

Boom!

The Elemental Warrior attacked again, forcing Grey to dodge.

Grey once again started his battle with the Elemental Warrior, while the young man focused on the inscriptions and arrays. His current motive was to last longer than Grey.

Bam! Boom!

As time went on, each started getting hit more frequently, crashing into the ground.

It was complete chaos since Grey would be sent flying, but the next second, the young man would also be sent flying.

Bang! Boom!

The attacks didn't stop ringing on the platform, while the sound of fists hitting each other also rang out.

It was a brutal fight, and the crowd knew only one of them would be able to come out on top.

Five minutes later.

Bang! Bang!

Both Grey and the young man slammed into the ground simultaneously, crashing a few meters away from each other.

The Elemental Warrior slowly started to fade, but it wasn't the only thing. The arrays as well as the inscriptions also faded away.

The crowd stared at the platform, waiting for who would be the first to stand up. Whoever stands up first will most likely win the battle.
