Chapter 501: Wiping The Floor With Ernst City’s Geniuses

After the explosion died down, Harryʼs worn down figure appeared before everyone, he was on his knees, gasping for breath while a red light screen could be seen with cracks around him.

He was sweating profusely, but the first thing he did when the explosion died down was to look at the sky to see if his last-minute attack was able to give him the result he wanted. But disappointment soon covered his face when he saw Grey who was still floating mid-air.

He gave a self-deprecating chuckle before forcing himself to stand up.

”I thought I could take you down with me, I never thought youʼd be able to dodge that attack,” He said still standing in the same spot.

”I was lucky,” Grey replied.

Harry stared at him for a while before giving him a nod, just as he took another step, he started to fall.

Greyʼs figure blinked, before appearing beside Harry. Supporting with one arm so he wouldnʼt fall. Even though he won, he had nothing but respect for him.

After sensing the hand supporting him, he opened his eyes to look at who held him, on seeing that the hand belonged to Grey, he nodded slightly before closing his eyes, passing out.

He used up all of his essences while defending against Greyʼs attacks, and he still felt a small amount of the effects of the attacks, so he was not only exhausted but injured as well.

Someone from the Pyro Faction came to the platform to carry Harry away. It was a young lady who was around Greyʼs age, she nodded with a cold look before taking Harry away.

Grey kept his deadpan expression before walking back to the center of the platform.

”Next,” He said.

His words shocked everyone in the arena. They all expected him to take a rest of going through such a battle, and they wouldnʼt even feel angry since they felt he needed it. But they never expected he was still raring to go.

”Are you sure?” The head of the Gayle family asked, slightly taken aback.

”Yes,” Grey nodded.

”Alright, come on stage,” The head of the Gayle family turned to look in the direction of those in the First stage of the Overlord Plane.

The person who stepped up next was a young lady, but everyone could sense the slight fear in her body language. She was no match for Harry and seeing that Grey had the space element, she knew she wasnʼt an opponent for him.

”You should give up if you know youʼre not confident in at least trying to fight,” Grey remarked.

”No, Iʼll fight,” The young lady replied.

”Alright,” Grey replied.

Thanks to his great physical body, he could still continue fighting without getting exhausted. Even when overusing his essence, it wouldnʼt make him exhausted, this was the benefit of training oneʼs physical body! Unfortunately, no other Elementalists do it since they feel their bodies grow stronger after every breakthrough, and unlike Grey, even when some do, they canʼt improve this quickly.

The reason for his rapid improvement in his physical strength was the orb in his body.

”Begin,” The head of the Gayle family said without much zeal. It was like he already saw the outcome of the battle.

He wasnʼt the only one, everyone else could tell that the young lady wasnʼt a match for Grey.

The young lady was a Lightning Elementalist, so she quickly attacked as soon as the head of the Gayle family said they could begin.

Grey didnʼt think much, coating his legs with the lightning element, he shot towards the young lady. In terms of speed, red lightning is faster than silver lightning.

Whoosh! Buzz! Bang!

Within a few moves, the young lady was sent flying.

Greyʼs strength was not something she could defend against. Not just that, but after the previous fight, he was attacking with the same attack power, so his attacks were stronger.

The attacks he used against Harry, if he used them against any other person in the First stage of the Overlord Plane or anyone in the Origin Plane, there was a fifty percent chance that they might die.

After defeating the young lady, Grey didnʼt take any rest, fighting the next person immediately. The next person was a young man who gave up, not daring to enter the platform.

What was the use when he knew he wouldnʼt be able to even last a move against him? Although Grey was holding back in his attacks, it didnʼt mean that it didnʼt hurt when they hit.

Grey soon increased the number of people he fought against to two, after defeating three groups, he increased it to four. But the results were the same, especially now that he started using his space element in battles. His opponents couldnʼt touch a hair on him, while he was able to easily switch locations, striking them from angles they never expected attacks to come from.

Harry was the strongest person in the First stage of the Overlord Plane, and from his battle with these people, he ascertained that he was definitely stronger than them. Although, if he used the space element he would be able to deal with him quicker, with that sensory ability Harry used, it would be difficult to sneak up on him.

Thirty minutes later, Grey was done battling those in the First stage of the Overlord Plane. Now, there were around fifty people left, fifteen of them were in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, while the rest were in the Second stage.

”Are you continuing or taking a rest?” The head of the Gayle family asked.

Just before Grey spoke up, the lady stood up.

”Heʼll be taking a twenty minutes break,” She said before heading towards Grey.

Before leaving, she made sure to look at the Faction Leader, telling him not to take a step out of the special area.

Unknown to everyone here, while they were watching battles, the greatest heist was taking place in the entire city, and it was being done by a cat!
