Chapter 122: Blue Fire!

Grey stared at the young man before him with his emotionless eyes without even making an attempt to stand up. How could he allow others to step on him as they like? Had this happened before his upgrade, then he would have let it slide since he wasn’t a match for the Darkness Elementalist at that time. But now, to h.e.l.l with him!

The crowd looked at Grey like he had a screw loose.

‘Brother, are you tired of living? How can you ask him such a question? Didn’t you see him outside when he killed someone instantly? Even though it might be due to his opponent’s carelessness, his strength was still clear for all to see! And you still have the guts to ask him ‘or what’?’

This was what was running through the head of everyone. Some even shook their heads thinking Grey was just seeking death.

But some couldn’t help to admire his fearlessness. They had to admit that if they were in his position, they would have already gone not just five meters backward, but ten!

“It’s good you’re sensible, now scra… Wait what?!”, the Darkness Elementalist not expecting Grey to ask him such a question had already started rambling on before he realized what Grey said.

He was on the verge of going mad! Why did people keep on obstructing him today? Who did he offend?

Things all started going awry after clashing with Alice and the others. Since then, nothing good had happened to him. Now an ant even dared to refute him! What insolence! He would not take this lying!

Without thinking, he launched an a.s.sault on Grey who was a couple of steps away from him. Now, even if Grey begged him, he would still kill the insolent b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

The others all shook their heads in pity, such a handsome and brave young man was about to be killed. Already concluding that Grey was dead, some didn’t even bother to see how he would be killed. But the outcome of the attack once again threw those who watched off their feet that some even rubbed their eyes violently to confirm if they weren’t seeing things.

Bam!

The sound of a blow connecting resonated in the path before a figure was sent flying. Looking closer, the figure who was still standing was none other than the innocent-looking young man.

Bang!

Pu!

The Darkness Elementalist slammed into the wall before coughing out a mouthful of blood.

Grey who was previously in a sitting position was currently standing with both legs apart, and his left hand outstretched. His hand was still clenched into a fist. From his stance, it was easy to deduce he just struck out a blow.

“Are my eyes failing me? How did he move at such speed?”, one of the youths amongst the crowd asked in disbelief.

He couldn’t believe it, if not for seeing it personally, he would have never believed something like this could happen even if he was beaten to death.

How can someone in the First stage of Origin Plane, send the Darkness Elementalist who was not only two stages ahead of him, he had even instantly killed someone in the same stage as himself flying? It was impossible!

“Maybe it was because it was a surprise attack”, another youth chipped in still clearly in a state of shock because of what just happened.

“Surprise attack your head! How do you call that a surprise attack? The victim of the surprise attack was clearly him”, one of the few people who admired Grey’s bravery quickly jumped into the conversation to defend him.

Due to the Darkness Elementalist attacking suddenly, he deemed it as a surprise attack.

Unknown to Grey, because he stood up to the Darkness Elementalist, he had acquired some fans. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t be bothered with it. All he did was stand up for himself and nothing more.

“You…”, the Darkness Elementalist was about to speak, but…

Pu!

Due to the agitation he was feeling, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

What sort of monster did he encounter?

If not for his quick reaction and strong body, that blow would have injured him fatally. Since he was a Multi Elementalist, his body was naturally stronger than that of Dual Elementalists.

With anger surging in his heart, veins could be seen appearing on his forehead. He was infuriated! How can someone two stages below him, send him flying. He had thought Klaus’s group were monsters, but this young man in front of him was even more monstrous than they were.

How can his physical prowess be this formidable?

Others might think that Grey used the elements to boost the strength of his blow just like how Elementalists does while still in the Collection and Fusion Plane, but he knew otherwise. This was the pure power of Grey’s brute strength.

While the Darkness Elementalist was still thinking about how Grey’s physical body could be that strong. Grey looked at his hands and a look of disappointment flashed on his face.

‘*Sigh* It’s a shame this blow didn’t kill him. Although… This outcome isn’t bad either since I’ll get the opportunity to fight with him’, he sighed while shaking his head.

Seeing Grey sigh with a look of disappointment appearing on his face, the crowd were all curious why he would show such an expression.

‘You just sent someone we wouldn’t even dare to refute flying! What’s up with that expression?’

Some of them were yelling in their heads.

After a minute went by, the Darkness Elementalist had been able to clear his head. He knew one of the reasons Grey was able to easily strike him was because he was too agitated and because of that, he left an opening for Grey to exploit when he wanted to attack him.

He slowly walked closer to Grey, preparing to strike once more. But after taking some steps, he paused and retreated one step backward. He didn’t dare to get close to him, he had already experienced Grey’s formidable physical strength. Only a fool would allow himself to be hit twice.

Noticing the Darkness Elementalist didn’t dare to come close, Grey’s lip curved upwards to form a smirk.

‘Looks like he’s wary of my physical power’, thought Grey.

He had already expected this though. It was just like that youth he fought with previously, after the youth noticed getting close to him while fighting was a mistake, he didn’t dare to get close to him any longer.

Without further delay, both parties sent out attacks.

Grey sent out a ball of blue flames. This was the first time he was using his blue flame since awakening his fire element.

The Darkness Elementalists used his strongest element, which was the darkness element.

Boom!

Both attacks clashed and the shockwave spread out in all directions. The spectators all retreated further on seeing the power of the attack.

Grey was pushed one step backward, while the Darkness Elementalists was pushed three steps backward. The result of the clash was visible for all to see, Grey won!

Although this one clash shouldn’t be used to determine the final outcome of the battle, but the spectators were still thrown into an uproar.

One of the fighters was a Third stage Origin Plane Darkness Elementalist, while the other was a First stage Origin Plane Fire Elementalist. The former was regarded as one of the strongest, if not the strongest person who entered the trial land, while the latter was an unknown bystander.

The crowd wasn’t aware of both fighters being Multi Elementalists because they had only seen them use one element each.

“Did you see that? The color of his fire was blue!”

A yell brought everyone back from their absentminded state. And they all once again stared at the young man in shock. Just when they thought he was done surprising them, he would do something even greater than what he did previously.

Elementalists with special colors for their elements were just as rare as Darkness and Light Elementalists. The strength of their attacks was always stronger than that of others with the same element and on the same stage.

“How is this possible?”, muttered the Darkness Elementalist.

He had almost pulled out his hair from dragging it too much. Grey had almost sent him into a frenzy.

His eyes were slowly turning bloodshot.

Grey was also shocked by the power of his blue flame, he never expected it to be this strong.

‘It’s because of the grade’, he thought.

This was the only reason he could think of that made the attack power stronger than that of the Darkness Elementalist.

Just as both fighters prepared to continue fighting.

Crack!

The sound of walls cracking reverberated in the path. Everyone including Grey and the Darkness Elementalists shifted their attention to the source of the noise.

The wall blocking the path was cracking rapidly.

Boom!

The wall soon exploded with debris flying in all directions. Everyone used their various elements to block the pieces that went their way.

“This isn’t over!”, the Darkness Elementalist yelled loudly before dashing past the newly opened path.

Although he wanted to kill Grey, his top priority still remained acquiring the treasure.

Grey didn’t delay and just like the Darkness Elementalist, he also rushed past the path. He recalled hearing the other youths speak of the Great Earth Essence Liquid, he knew of it, so he also wanted to vie for it.

After he went through, the others also followed behind.

This wasn’t the only wall that opened, the walls at the other paths also opened up.

Now the true struggle had begun!
