Chapter 502: Poison Specialist

Twenty minutes soon went by and Grey walked back to the platform.

Everyone has been waiting patiently for the battle to start again, when they saw Grey step into the platform, they looked on excitedly.

"How many people are you fighting against?" The head of the Gayle family asked.

Just like when Grey fought against those in the First stage of the Overlord Plane, he wanted to fight against one individual.

A young lady was the first person to walk out, strutting into the platform confidently.

"This is the end of your journey. I commend your effort for coming this far," The young lady said.

"We'll see about that," Grey replied gently.

….

When the crowd saw the young lady stepping onto the platform, a discussion broke out.

"Petra, she's the first person to step forward. Yes, we're in for a show again!" Someone from the crowd exclaimed.

"She's ranked thirty-first in the geniuses rankings right?" Someone asked.

"That was the previous ranking, it has been updated and she's currently ranked twenty-ninth!" Another person said.

"Wow! She's moved up in the rank, amazing!"

"Do you think that guy would be able to defeat her?"

"We can't be sure yet, but he definitely hasn't shown his full strength. What I'm wondering is how he would be ranked in the rankings. He has already defeated Harry, so he should be able to take his spot, the only problem is this, he's still in the Origin Plane,"

"Forget about that, the battle is about to start. Let the people who make the rankings worry about it,"

….

Petra raised her hands slowly, and a streak of darkness danced around her fingers like a snake.

"A Darkness Elementalist," Grey muttered to himself.

He had only ever fought against one Darkness Elementalist, and that was Quinn. Back at the Azure continent, the darkness element was rare, just like the light element, and it seems like it's the same here.

"Begin!"

Grey didn't immediately attack when he heard the order for the battle to begin, he waited while staring at Petra.

"Heh! Cautious," Petra smirked before tapping her foot on the ground.

A dark shadow spread around the platform.

Grey retreated when he saw this, making sure the darkness didn't touch him. He didn't know what it could do, nor did he want to know.

The darkness didn't stop even after going more than halfway through the platform. It moved like a circle before covering the entire platform.

Grey was forced to make an ice step that he stood on top.

Petra smiled before waving her hand, a spike shot out of the ground, stabbing towards Grey who was still standing on the ice step.

Bam!

Grey sent a fireball at the spike, destroying it. But as soon as he destroyed this one, another came from his back. He was standing still on the ice step, attacking any of the spikes that came in his direction.

Grey created an inscription, using it to attack Petra. Since she didn't want to give him the chance to leave the spot he was standing, he would attack with inscriptions. He could also use the s.p.a.ce element if he wanted to.

Bang!

Petra created a darkness shield that blocked the attacks from the inscription.

Grey vanished from where he was standing, appearing beside her with a fire orb in his hand. He quickly sent it towards her, while also making sure to create an ice step that he stood on.

He had a bad feeling whenever he looked at the floor, so he didn't want to stand on it.

Petra's figure suddenly sank into the ground when the fire orb got close to her. It was as if the ground was made of water.

Grey's expression changed slightly when he saw this. Looking around, he tried to find the location Petra was going to surface. Unbeknownst to him, the ice step he was standing on had already sunk into the ground, his legs already going in.

He suddenly noticed the ground was getting closer to him, by the time he looked down, he was already knee-deep into the ground.

"What the h.e.l.l?!" He exclaimed before jumping.

Petra soon resurfaced after he landed on the ice bridge, an evil grin on her face.

Her expression alarmed Grey which made him look around vigilantly, but he didn't notice anything. He even checked his body properly in case there was anything inside, but he didn't find anything.

'Hmm, weird. Why would she have that expression if she didn't do anything?' He thought to himself.

Petra on the other hand was starting to look at him confused. Usually, all she needed to do was touch the opponent with her darkness attack just once, and she would win the fight. But Grey was alright even after soaking in her darkness swamp.

The technique she was practicing made her one of the deadliest Darkness Elementalists since she turned her attacks into something similar to poison. It's just like how Grey used his darkness element to slowly corrode the cores of the young lady from the Smith family, only much more powerful.

'Why isn't he showing any signs of reacting to my poison?' Petra asked while staring at Grey.

Grey stood on top of the bridge for a little while before spreading out his hand. Since Petra wasn't going to make any move, then he was going to destroy what she made on the platform.

"Meteor descent," He muttered.

Large fireb.a.l.l.s appeared in the air like a meteor, before descending down.

Bang! Boom! Bam!

The attacks started crashing down on the platform, but as soon as they touched the ground, they would sink down.
