Chapter 1266 One More Sparring Session

Grey stood opposite his friends, his face calm as always.

"Do you think you can win against us?" Klaus asked, he was standing in front of Reynolds and Alice.

Among all three, he was the one with the highest cultivation stage. Alice was in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, while Reynolds got to the Fifth stage. With his current realm, his Elemental Warrior can match an Eighth stage Elemental Venerable.

Klaus was in the Seventh stage, but they all knew his strength wasn't average.

"Since I don't want to be a bully, I'll let you guys attack first." Grey stood with one hand in front of him and the other behind him, waiting for them to attack.

"Hmph! Don't think this is like before." Klaus snorted and he pointed at Grey.

Ice started to move from where he was standing, heading straight at Grey. Freezing the ground as it moved.

Grey smirked when he saw the ice coming, "Is this your first attack?"

Just as he wanted to punch the ground to break up the ice, he saw Klaus' figure melt into the ground and reappear in front of him instantaneously.

The second Klaus appeared, a large ice spike sprang out of the ground, forcing Grey into the air.

While mid-air, Grey felt his stomach ache softly, the ice spike hit him in his stomach which sent him flying.

Grey flipped mid-air, and balanced himself, only to see the Elemental Warrior holding a long staff with it. The staff enlarged and came crashing down.

Grey created an ice shield that he used to block the attack. But a large fire spear shot at him from the other side. He turned the ice shield into a dome, protecting him from all sides.

Klaus took flight as well, holding onto the sword he acquired from the secret realm they all went to the last time. He slashed out.

A trail of ice followed behind the blade energy that was headed towards Grey's ice dome.

Seeing the sword energy coming at him, Grey knew there was no way the ice dome would be able to withstand all the attacks.

The blade energy cut the ice dome in half and another fire spear shot straight into the place, aiming for where Grey was previously standing.

Grey used dimensional slash to counter the energy blade and fire spear, but he was hit by the staff of the Elemental Warrior.

The staff wasn't able to hit his body, but the impact of the attack forced him down. He crashed into the ground, causing a dust cloud.

"Hehe, we'll beat the hell out of you." Klaus laughed maniacally.

Alice and Reynolds didn't have the same reaction as Klaus, but they were both heating up. Fighting against Grey was the ultimate battle for all of them. Grey is someone they all regard as the number genius, and he was invincible against those in the same state. Even if they were using their numbers advantage over him, they didn't mind getting the victory over him.

Since Grey had gone above them in cultivation stage, all they've done is chase and chase, but they've all been unable to get close to him. This was the only chance they could defeat him, but they also knew it would not be as easy as they thought.

The dust cloud faded and Grey's figure appeared, he looked at all of them who were mid-air. After dusting his body, he flew back up.

"Watch out."

His voice hadn't died but his figure was no longer in the same spot.

Klaus was the first to sense something and he turned to look behind Alice. He thrust his sword at the spot just behind Alice.

Alice took a step forward, body covered with lightning, she increased her speed and went closer to Klaus and Reynolds.

Klaus' sword grew longer and Grey appeared on the spot Klaus attacked. Grey grabbed the tip of the sword firmly as he looked at Grey with a plain look.

Reynolds attacked while Klaus was keeping Grey distracted. His Elemental Warrior unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts at Grey, who was holding onto the tip of Klaus' sword with immense strength.

Sensing the incoming attack, Grey knew he shouldn't let Klaus' sword touch him, he tilted his body to the side and allowed Klaus' sword go past him while he turned around to block the lightning bolts shooting his way.

Alice attacked when he was blocking Reynolds' lightning bolts. Her dominant element was the lightning element, but her fire element gained more power after she merged with the Seelie which was an ice Seelie.

She couldn't use the water element, but she was able to use ice however she wanted.

She attacked with the lightning element, and Klaus, whose sword was still in a thrusting motion suddenly moved his hand to the side Grey was standing and blocking the attacks.

Grey was still mid-air, and the sword was around his shoulder, when he sensed it coming towards him again, he let his body fall, using gravity to take his body down.

Just as his body was heading down, he felt his body stand on a solid ground. He looked down, only to see ice below his feet.

Klaus was smirking when he saw this. The sword was already by his side and it was about to hit him within the next second.

Grey didn't hold back, his body shook and he phased through the ice that was under him.

Klaus' sword passed the place he was standing.

Klaus' face twitched slightly, "F*ck it! He's a cheat!"

He couldn't help but complain out loud. Having so many elements meant that Grey had more means of evading them. They've forgotten about him being able to phase through things like a ghost. This was not the only thing he forgot.

He suddenly looked at the side and realized that Grey didn't get past the entire ice he created, rather, he reinforced it and switched places with Reynolds' Elemental Warrior.

He trapped the Elemental Warrior, appeared unknown to the others and attacked.

Reynolds was his target. Without the Elemental Warrior, Reynolds, a top tier Fifth stage Elemental Venerable stood no chance against Grey. Even Klaus stood no chance against him, much less Reynolds.

Reynolds was sent flying with just one attack from Grey.

Klaus was the first to move, Reynolds' body which was moving at a fast speed after being struck by Grey entered a large water ball Klaus created.

The water ball slowed Reynolds down and spat him back out, in the direction of Klaus and Alice.

Alice hurriedly merged with her Seelie. Her attacks were the weakest amongst the trio, with the Seelie she would be able to unleash even greater strength. Unfortunately, it was nothing to Grey.

Klaus looked at Grey coldly, "Do you want to kill him?"

"We're not holding back. Of course I'll attack him at full force." Grey shrugged, of course he didn't try to kill Reynolds, but he didn't hold back either, "You good, Rey?"

Reynolds took in a deep breath and nodded, his eyes turned serious and the Elemental Warrior smashed out of the ice he was being sealed in, before long, it appeared behind Reynolds and merged with him.

"This is what I'm saying. Go all out." Grey laughed excitedly. He wanted to have a good battle with his friends, and for the first time, they were not going to hold back!

They wouldn't actively try to kill each other, but they would attack with their full strength.

Reynolds' strength soared and before long, his aura was that of a Ninth stage Elemental Venerable. His new form was something he found out while they were in the secret realm, now, he wanted to use it against his friend.

Alice's strength was bordering between the Sixth and Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane while being in the Fourth stage.

Klaus looked at Reynolds, "Damn! Let's fucking go!"

He was excited at the thought of his friend's increased strength. At this moment, he was exhilarated.

Alice stood behind the duo, Klaus and Reynolds standing ahead as they look in Grey's direction.

Grey's eyes lit up with a pale blue light, he truly was going all out this time.

He was the first to rush forward, Reynolds flew in his direction, blocking him. They both threw a punch. Their fists collided, causing a spark mid-air.

….

Outside the mountain.

Martha and Lucas exchanged glances.

"Do they plan to kill each other?" She asked a little worried.

"No, but they want to see just how strong Grey is." Lucas replied thoughtfully.

"Do you think they're envious of him?"

"Yeah, but not in that way that they want his downfall." Lucas looked at the group of friends, "He's their motivation for going stronger. He's a bridge they want to at least get to. They know they can't cross it, but they want to get to it."

Martha watched and seeing the spark from the duo's collision, she muttered, "Just how strong is his physical body?"
