Boom! The body of the Snow Leopard that came to challenge Grey slammed into the ground as he stood in the sky looking down at them. He had a blank expression on as he defeated the Snow Leopard. This was a Snow Leopard that was a couple of hundred years old, but compared to Grey, the difference in strength is shocking. All it took was a single attack from Grey and it was defeated. "I'm afraid you're going to have to be a little serious. If this is all the mighty Snow Leopards have to offer, then it seems like I've wasted my time. I'll let my little sister come take you guys on then." Grey's words infuriated the Snow Leopards. Magical Beasts are prideful, hearing Grey speak about their clan like this made every single one of these Snow Leopards angered. Another Snow Leopard appeared, this one was in the Mid stages of the Eighth Rank, from Grey's deduction, this Leopard is at least a thousand years old. Grey couldn't help but feel amazed at its age. Being this old yet looking so far from dying of old age is amazing. His view of age is greatly affected due to growing in the Azure Empire, so even after coming to the Aurora Continent, he's still amazed by the fact that there are multiple people over the age of a thousand years. "Kid, this isn't the place for you to be cocky. For the sake of your Family, we'll let you leave alive. Don't tempt us further, get away." The Snow Leopard that appeared didn't rush to attack Grey, rather, it tried to convince him to leave. Magical Beasts are known for their aggressive nature, but it doesn't mean they didn't know how the world works. The fact that Grey was still this young and could show such strength means that his background is frightening. As much as they didn't accept intruders, there were a few exceptions, Grey being one of those exceptions. Grey tilted his head to the side and asked, "Why would I do that? I came to test my strength, and I'm not leaving without testing it." The Leopard was a bit irritated with Grey's words, it's clear that he didn't take them seriously. It let out a soft growl of discontent and turned to look towards the eastern part of the tribe, seemingly searching for a response from there on how to deal with this problem. Grey is powerful, they could tell from the fact that he managed to defeat the previous Leopard with a single attack, however, it didn't mean this Leopard is afraid of him, it just didn't want to hurt the heir to some powerful force and put their tribe in danger. "You seem afraid, why's that?" Grey asked, curious as to why this Leopard would rather talk to him than attack. "I'm afraid of no one. Leave our tribe, we have no enmity with you or your Family." The Leopard spoke firmly. "Oh, looks like you're afraid that if anything happens to me your tribe will be wiped out, right?" Grey figured out the reason behind the Leopard's reluctance not to fight. A smile appeared on his face as he almost said, 'dumb beast'. If he knew that these Leopards were afraid of any retaliation from his Family, he would've used it to force them to give him the treasures a long time ago. Who would've known? Since he's already here and that information has been revealed to him, he didn't see any reason why he shouldn't use it to force the tribe leader out. "I'll say this once, I came out to test my strength, and I'm not leaving without doing that. If you refuse, I won't leave." He said with a smile. These Snow Leopards were in this secret realm, yet they still knew how the world usually works. Well, even here there are hierarchies and it's normal for this to happen. "Come, let me test your strength." Grey took the initiative to attack, not waiting for the Leopard's response. The Leopard didn't expect Grey to attack just like that, but it was prepared. It was over a thousand years old, and it has experienced too many things in life, there's no way it would allow a small child that even its great grandchildren are older than. Boom! The Leopard blocked Grey's light beam attack. It didn't want to fight, but it didn't mean that it would back out from a fight. Since the human wanted to die early, it didn't mind sending him on his way. The Leopard was very fast, it roared and its figure vanished. Grey's eyes widened when he saw this, the difference in speed between this Snow Leopard and the one that attacked him while ascending the mountain was massive. The Leopard appeared behind him as it swung its claws at him. He turned around, and just like the Leopard, his figure vanished. He too was fast, but right now, his space element is what he used. He appeared behind the Snow Leopard and attacked, striking at its head. The Leopard saw Grey's attack, and contrary to Grey's expectations, it didn't dodge, rather, it moved in a human-like way. Using one of its paws, it grabbed Grey's leg that was coming towards its head and used Grey's momentum to throw him to the side. Grey was caught unaware, so he lost control of his body for a short while, but given his battle experience, he reacted quickly, hurriedly readjusting his body midair to ensure that he wasn't attacked again after being tossed to the side. The Leopard didn't expect Grey to attack in such an orderly manner, even after being tossed to the side, before the Leopard could even react, Grey had already repositioned himself, ensuring that he wasn't in a disadvantageous position which was a testament of his shocking battle experience. The Leopard's expression turned serious as it attacked once again, since the fight had begun, what's the point in holding back? It'll beat Grey up, but it knew not to seriously hurt him. It didn't have the strength to repel the Family behind Grey. Over the past years, there have been a few tribes that have been wiped out for being overly aggressive towards these human prodigies that trespasses into their tribes. It's natural that this was the rules of the Magical Beasts' Tribes, but all rules have people that they become useless to, take Grey for instance, he's one of those people. If Grey is killed here, then the entire Snow Leopard tribe is as good as gone. As prideful as these beasts, they'd rather protect their tribe and endure the shame than to kill Grey. Boom! Bam! Bang! The speed of their exchange was frightening. Both parties excelled in terms of speed, well, the Snow Leopard was slightly superior with its short burst speed, but Grey's space element gave him the chance to match up to the Leopard. Most of the Leopards watching couldn't believe that Grey was fighting this Leopard on an equal level. This was the first time they've seen such a human prodigy. It's common knowledge that most Magical Beasts are superior to humans in the same realm, so they are used to suppressing their human counterparts. However, this is one of those instances where the Magical Beast didn't get the advantage over its human counterpart. The fight raged on and some caves which were the residence to some of the Snow Leopards in the tribe had been destroyed by the destructive force from the impact of the duo's attacks. Grey noticed this and although he didn't want to destroy the place, he also wanted to force the Late stage Rank Eight Snow Leopard out by all means. 'I have to use even more destructive attacks.' He didn't want to kill any of the Snow Leopards here, but it didn't mean he couldn't hurt a few and cause some minor destruction. As long as the Tribe Leader of the Snow Leopards doesn't come out, he'll continue his destruction. Boom! Bang! The number of caves getting destroyed increased exponentially and in a matter of a minute, fifty percent of the caves in the region of the battle had been destroyed. All Snow Leopards below the Eighth Rank who were injured from the impact of the attacks. The Snow Leopard battling with Grey increased its strength when it noticed that it was being overpowered by Grey, hence causing the massive destruction. It wanted to stop the fight, but for some reason, Grey became more aggressive with his attacks, he didn't give it the chance to even retreat. "Human, you're going too far!!!" It roared at the sight of the massive destruction caused to its tribe from the fight. It was clear to see that Grey was doing it on purpose. "What do you mean? We're just testing each other out." Grey laughed as he attacked with even more vigor. It was as if he was motivated.
