"Just how strong is his physical body?" "I think it's quite close to the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane." Lucas replied after a while. He knew Grey's physical body was strong, but he didn't know how strong it is. Now that he was seeing him fight against Reynolds in his current state, he got a small view of what he felt about it. …. Grey and Reynolds' fist where still in contact when an ice blade slashed at Grey's head. Grey retreated and tried to counter the ice blade, but he was left a little annoyed when Reynolds got close and engaged in a close battle with him. They were both throwing fist after fist. Reynolds blocked his punch and kicked out, but Grey was able to block the attack. He was grabbed Reynolds' leg and swinged a round before letting go. Reynolds was sent flying and his body was spinning in the process. Klaus attacked, unleashing blade after blade. Grey blocked each attack coming his way, not giving Klaus the chance to get the better of him. He was about to move closer when a dual domain appeared, it was Alice's fire and ice domain. The dual domain took the shape of a sword and it started hacking at Grey. Grey was stunned, not believing that Alice could use her domain as a weapon. Grey could only use it in a small space, he didn't think he could turn it into a weapon and unleash it at people. He created a large fire hands that grabbed the sword, keeping it away from his body. Reynolds had stopped spinning at this point and was rushing back to the battle scene. Klaus created a half moon behind him and his aura went up by a bit. He attacked, forcing Grey back while also cutting one of the fire hands Grey used in blocking Alice's domain attack. Grey groaned softly when this happened, but he didn't have the time to scold Klaus, Reynolds was back, and it looks like his previous spinning trip enraged him. A lightning domain formed around his body and he rushed at Grey. 'What's up with all these?' Grey was baffled as the way his friends were using their domains. He originally thought it was a means of increasing their strengths while fighting, and a little other things. However, Alice used hers as a weapon and Reynolds was using his as a form of armor. He almost wanted to believe that while he was away, a new way of controlling domains was made public. He dodged Alice's attack, but Reynolds drew close to him and started attacking with his lightning spear. The strength of his thrust only grew stronger. At first, Grey was able to easily deal with it, but as time went on, he realized there was something wrong. Reynolds' attacks were getting stronger with each attack. Before he could completely comprehend what was happening, Klaus, the troublemaker came into the fray once again, this time, he made sure Alice was close and would be able to fully utilize her domain sword. Klaus and Alice joining the fray made life difficult for Grey. He was trying to block each of Reynolds' attack, but Klaus, who had gotten more dangerous started to attack with his sword. The strength of the sword was something Grey felt a little wary of, so whenever that attack comes close, he would dodge it at all costs. Before long, he was soon overwhelmed by the trio, and was forced to retreat. He stood mid-air and looked at the trio with serious eyes. He knew they've grown stronger than what they previously were. "You guys are strong." He commented. "I want to see you go all out, you're still holding back." Klaus said with a serious look. "You know I can't go all out." Grey replied with a shake of his head. "Are you looking down on us?" Klaus asked, a bit angered. "No, it's just that I can't use that state any more." Grey shrugged, "All I can do is use a few more elements." "Oh, then what's holding you back? Using more elements wouldn't necessarily give you the advantage over us." Alice was the one who spoke up this time. "I'm well aware of that. But using them at the necessary time will give me the advantage I want." Grey didn't refute her words, only changing it. If he used the elements at the right time, he would be able to defeat them. Take for example, when he phased through the ice and switched with Reynolds' Elemental Warrior. He was able to get a small advantage due to making the right choices while fighting. In the end, it all comes down to fighting experience, and that's something all four of them had. But it terms of who has been in more complex battles, it had to be Grey. He's the one who people are always trying to kill. So he believed he had more experience compared to his friends. However, he didn't say this out loud. There's also Alice who was a battle maniac, and there's Reynolds who had been in tons of life and death situations. Klaus, well, he is always lucky, so he wasn't too sure of his battle experience. If Klaus knew of Grey's thoughts, he would attack him with all his might. Grey was clearly looking down on him. Klaus saw the look Grey was giving to him and felt strange. 'Why is he giving me that look? Could he be looking down on me?' He asked multiple questions concerning Grey's gaze, unfortunately, he was only speaking with himself. "Alright, I'm going all out. If I win, you guys should be ready for a good thrashing." Grey spread out both hands and inscriptions lit up the sky. This time, more than ten inscriptions appeared simultaneously. They all unleashed attacks at the same time. The trio blocked all the attacks coming their way, not giving any of the attacks chances. Grey knew his inscriptions wouldn't be able to do any damage to his friends, he only wanted them to distract them while he did the damage himself. His figure bolted through the sky, almost causing a tear. When he got close, he used the space element to attack. He learned something new when he went to the Chaos Battlefield, and now, he wanted to use it against his friends. The Space Elementalist he fought there helped him hone his usage of the space element when it came to attacking. Now, he wanted to use it to the fullest. He used dimensional slash once again. Reynolds was the first to sense the attack, he thrust his spear at the attack, but his expression changed drastically when he noticed how it was able to easily destroy his lightning spear. Klaus unleashed an ice blade at the slash coming their way. Alice wanted to use her dual domain to attack it, but Klaus realized the strength of the attack and stopped her from doing it. Reynolds moved fast, retreating from the place. Klaus and Alice left the range of the attack as well, making sure they weren't hit by the attack. Grey sent out chaos orbs at them, using more of the space element. When the orb exploded close to them, a spatial tear appeared. The trio felt a great sense of threat when the attack came their way. …. Outside the mountain. Grey's grandfather was sitting with both Lucas and Martha. Seeing Grey unleash an attack that caused a tear in the space, he couldn't believe it. If he wasn't seeing it, he would've beaten up whoever told him that it was possible for Grey to do it. "How's he so strong?" He turned to Lucas. "I have no idea. He's stronger than before he went to the Chaos Battlefield." Lucas replied. When he said this, he didn't mean in terms of cultivation stage or attack strength, but the current Grey was very different from the previous Grey. This Grey could beat up the previous Grey even if the previous was is given a stage advantage, that goes to show just how much Grey has grown. His attacks are more precise, and his thought process was also staggering. For someone his age, he shouldn't have this much battle knowledge. This was also what Grey's grandfather felt the first time he saw Grey fighting. His battle knowledge was far above his age. While they were praising him, they couldn't help but look at Grey's friends. "His friends are freaks too." Martha commented. Lucas nodded. Grey's friends could be considered geniuses even in the midst of geniuses, yet in front of Grey, they seemed to be average people. Klaus was a shocking youngster, the half moon behind him was one of the core techniques of the Moonlight Faction. Grey was given a technique similar to this one, but it was the normal one. The one Klaus was using was something that even the top experts in the Moonlight Faction are still trying to learn.
