Chapter 527: Highest Elimination Count
Grey"s movement was causing mayhem on the stage as it was difficult for others to touch him, yet he was sending people flying one by one.
This time, the crowd got to see some of his strength, and they couldn"t hide the awe in their eyes. Those who watched him yesterday felt like they were currently watching a different person, while the ones who came to see him today felt like it was totally worth it.
Bam! Boom! Crash!
Grey kept attacking ferociously, not giving his opponents the opportunity to get a strike at him.
After the first surprise, the battles had started once again on the stage, and with Grey breaking through the circle of the eleven people, it paved the way for others to eliminate some of them while they were scampering around to block Grey"s attacks.
Within the short time of three minutes, Grey managed to eliminate eight people in total, which was the highest for a single individual in all the stages. And the fact that the person with the highest elimination count was still in the Origin Plane was even more fascinating.
Boom! Bang!
Grey didn"t show any signs of slowing down as he continued attacking. He was like the ultimate filter, picking out all the weak people while leaving the strongest ones on the stage.
Ten minutes later.
The battle in Grey"s stage had ended all thanks to Grey"s quick actions. There were currently only twenty people left standing on the stage, and of the twenty people, only four of them were in the Origin Plane. Grey, Ezra, Jesse, and the young man who is ranked fifth in the Origin Plane geniuses rankings.
Of the thirty people eliminated, Grey single-handedly eliminated fifteen, a staggering figure given the number of people on the stage. There were even a few people in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane in this stage, but of them was able to eliminate up to five on their own.
It took almost ten minutes of waiting before the battles on the other stages showed signs of stopping. After the battles ended, there were a total of two hundred partic.i.p.ants left, excluding the top ten who weren"t a part of this stage.
"Since there are a hundred and ten more people, another elimination match will take place later today. One hundred and thirty people would be randomly selected, and once you see your amulet light up, know you"re part of them. Only twenty of these hundred and thirty people would advance to the next round of the compet.i.tion…" The supervisor explained.
Grey and the rest of the people on stage listened closely. When they all heard that only twenty people would advance in a total of a hundred and thirty people, they looked at each other with fiery eyes. There were a few people who threw a glance in Grey"s direction.
His performance in the previous round didn"t go unnoticed, and even though most of the people he eliminated were in the First stage of the Overlord Plane, he still eliminated a fair few in the Second stage.
Presently, he was one of the few people that others were actually praying not to get selected for this round. Other than him, the only other people they didn"t want to be picked were mostly in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, with a few in the Second stage.
After the supervisor was done with his explanation, the lights on the amulets of the partic.i.p.ants started to go off one by one. Before long, the eighty people who would be taking part in the next round of battles had been decided, and Grey was among them.
….
Grey stared at the amulet in his hand, it was at times like these that he wished he was as lucky as Klaus in these types of things. If Klaus were to be here, then he would definitely not be part of these people who would be fighting to get into the next round.
He didn"t know how he did it, but so long as it involved luck in skipping a battle, he was almost a hundred percent certain that Klaus would get it.
While Grey was reminiscing about his friend, the supervisor told them all to head back to their seats to rest, before they started the battle. Since some of them were just involved in a battle, it wouldn"t seem fair for them if they started the battle immediately.
"Why did so many people attack you?" Sylvia asked when Grey got back to his seat.
Grey went on to explain the whole Ezra dilemma to her.
"Heh! Boys will be boys," She scoffed when she heard the story.
"They"re just a bunch of stupid foolhardy people," Grey said before taking a seat.
He had not been one who would fight others because he liked a girl. He didn"t even like anyone to begin with, other than Alice, he had no other female friend. He could"ve added Aella, but they b?r?ly got to know each other. If not for wanting to get to learn about forgemastering from her, he wouldn"t have approached her in the first place.
Two hours soon went by, and it was time for them to step on stage again.
Ezra and Jesse were lucky enough not to be part of this set, which meant they"d automatically entered the top one hundred. The only thing that bothered Grey a little bit was that there were over fifteen Third stage Overlord Plane Elementalists that were picked, not just that, but there were also some powerful Second stage Overlord Plane Elementalists as well.
In a one-on-one scenario, he was at least fifty percent confident since most of them wouldn"t be more powerful than the young man who had an Elemental Warrior in the Gale region.
The Third stage Overlord Plane was seventeen in total, and they wisely separated, giving themselves a better chance of qualifying.
Since there were one hundred and thirty people, two stages will have fifty people that would be fighting simultaneously and eight qualifying from each, with thirty fighting in the last one stage and only four people qualifying from that one.
