The orb forming on Grey’s finger was small, but it contained powers that frightened the Prince.
For the first time since their battle started, the Prince showed an expression of shock and apprehension. His facial expression was more serious when compared to how carefree it had been all this while.
‘This guy is a threat to our race. How come he hasn’t been marked yet?’ He thought to himself.
The thought of Grey being marked and removing the mark himself never crossed his mind. Most of the people even felt Grey was dead since he hadn’t appeared again. Although the young man who followed him there felt that there was something strange about Grey’s disappearance, he didn’t dare to enter the secret space to confirm it.
The Prince didn’t think too much since he felt he would be able to kill him in their battle.
He rushed forward, not wanting Grey to unleash the attack. He felt an attack of this caliber would need time to complete, so it hadn’t been completely prepared yet. As long as he could interrupt Grey, then he wouldn’t need to fear the attack.
Just as he got within a few meters of Grey and attacked, his eyes enlarged by the sight before him. The orb in Grey’s finger was quite small compared to the ones that appeared around Grey. Each orb was at least triple the size of the orb on his finger, and they each contained almost the same attack power.
The Prince paused as he rushed to retreat, hoping Grey would not attack him before he gets to safety.
Grey smirked as he unleashed the orbs at him. Each orb had enough power to take out an Eighth stage Sage Plane Elementalist.
The Prince was threatened by the attack that was coming his way, so he scrambled to safety as he tried to dodge it.
Grey didn’t use all of them to attack simultaneously since he knew it would be useless that way. He sent them out after each other, whenever the Prince managed to escape from one of them, he would attack with the other one.
The Prince was placed in a tough spot for the first time since the start of the battle.
While he was dodging the orbs, a lightning bolt appeared behind him and struck him cleanly on his back.
However, contrary to Grey’s expectation, the Prince didn’t yell in pain or anything, instead, he noticed a bright light around the body of the Prince as it protected him from it. However, the light dimmed down considerably after taking the attack.
‘Damn it.’ Grey couldn’t help but complain. He thought he had finally gotten the chance to sneak attack him, unfortunately, the Prince was able to block it since he had a protective vest.
The Prince got on high alert after Grey’s failed sneak attack. Well, it couldn’t really be called a failed attempt since it hit his target, he just didn’t think the Prince would have a protective vest on.
p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om The Prince dodged the orbs as he also dodged the lightning attacks that were coming his way from the inscriptions.
The Prince calmed himself down as he dodged Grey’s attacks. Being the one with the initiative, Grey flew into the air as he unleashed his ‘Meteor Descent’.
The Prince was still dodging the orbs which seemed endless, seeing the large fire-covered boulders dropping from the air, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of hate for Grey.
‘How’s he able to attack with so many powerful attacks? Isn’t he afraid his essence will dry up?’
Although this was something that rarely happened since most Elementalists don’t dare to fight till that stage, it was something that could still happen. Once an Elementalist starts using extraordinarily powerful attacks, they tend to lose essence quicker than others which would mean that they risked running out of essence if the battle lasted for a long time.
The Prince yelled out before exploding with frightening powers. This time, even the boulders coming from the sky were blown to smithereens by the surge of power from the Prince.
Grey was forced to take a step back, but he started his attack once again.
With a single step, the ground lit up with a symbol as multiple lightning shot into the air. It was as if there was a rain of lightning, but it was coming from the ground. The Prince was within the range, and his protective vest lit up once again, this time it stayed longer than usual. The light around the vest quickly started to lose its brightness.
‘Fuck!’ The Prince’s facial expression turned extremely ugly.
Grey was a terrifying opponent. He had way too many ways to get what he wanted in a battle. If this method fails to work, he would switch to another method. What was worse was that these were things that even if the Prince was aware of, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself against it.
‘I’ll kill him.’ The Prince concluded in his heart.
The protective vest soon lost its light, but it managed to do what it was brought in for since it managed to get the Prince out of the range of the array that Grey used in attacking.
The Prince didn’t leave the place unscathed though, his flesh was burned by the attack of the lightning. Luckily, he left the place quite early.
Grey turned around as he looked in a particular direction.
‘Hmm, my time here is limited. I don’t think I will be able to kill this guy before they return.’
The burst of attack that the Prince used some time ago had finally alerted those who left the place not so long ago, so they were rushing back to this place.
Grey had been trying to avoid using attacks that would be that explosive since it would bring others over.
‘Since it’s already like this, then no need.’ He thought to himself.
Grey burst out with fearsome elemental powers.
When the Prince saw this version of Grey, he started to hate him to the core. Even when he felt he already knew Grey’s power, he came out with yet another one.
It was quite clear that if Grey were to face another person from the Gnome race, he would kill them without too much of a hassle.
