Chapter 906 Klaus vs Gregory III
The crowd noticed the change in the demeanor of both fighters and knew that things were about to reach its peak.
It didn"t take long before attacks started to fly across the platform from one end to another.
Klaus used his ice ability to the fullest, creating multiple attacks simultaneously. He used one of the Moonlight Faction"s top techniques, and a moon seemingly seemed to appear behind him, giving off a dazzling glow.
He looked like a G.o.d in this appearance. With the moon behind him, his ice abilities power would see a ten percent increase. It might not look like much, but in a battle such as this, it might be what he needed to turn the tide in his favor.
Gregory used a long lightning sword, trying to slash apart the ice moon behind Klaus.
Klaus naturally wouldn"t give him the chance to do that. He blocked it with his ice wall, but to his surprise, the wall cracked from the attack.
"His attack power increased." He was shocked.
However, Gregory"s attack power didn"t see an increase, but the technique he used was superior to his previous attacks, hence the increase in his attack power.
Klaus" ice ability increased by ten percent, so a defensive ice wall he set up was stronger than what he previously did. Gregory had not been able to break through the ice wall before, yet, he cracked this one which was stronger.
Boom! Bang! Bam!
The fight continued, and even those from the Robertson Family couldn"t hide their shock at Klaus" strength.
Klaus was fighting against Gregory, and they were almost equals after he created that ice moon behind him. Even his attack power saw an increase, something all the experts from the Sage Plane and above noticed.
"The Moonlight Faction is frightening." Lothar commented when he saw it.
"Of course, they are a top Faction, what did you expect?" Luthera"s mother remarked.
Lothar didn"t comment any further as he focused on the fight.
Klaus created a large ice pillar that tried to smack Gregory, but Gregory countered, using the long lightning sword to cut the ice pillar into two.
The lightning sword extended, continuing its a.s.sault in Klaus" direction.
The ice wall in front of Klaus finally gave way and he was sent flying. He crashed into the platform, bouncing off it twice. But he quickly picked himself up before sending a series of ice shards at Gregory who was coming at him.
Gregory was forced to stop and defend. He couldn"t rush at Klaus since he would risk harming himself.
He was fending off against the ice shards when he noticed something glow, moving his head to the side, he was scratched by something moving fast on his cheek, and he started to bleed.
This time, he managed to dodge Klaus" ice needle.
Klaus hid it in the ice shards, making him lose focus before sending it. Unfortunately, Gregory was alert and dodged it. The place he was injured soon froze, but since the attack didn"t penetrate, the freezing stopped after a while.
The lightning sword he was holding suddenly increased in size and he swung it at Klaus. The sword destroyed all the ice shards, before getting to Klaus.
Klaus created a sword of his own. It was made from ice, and with the help of the moon behind him, it was one of his strongest ice swords yet.
Both swords collided, and a powerful wind spread across the platform due to the impact of the attack. They swung it at each other repeatedly.
Gregory suddenly created an earth hammer that slammed the ground. The platform shook from the attack and it started to take a different shape.
Klaus, seeing this didn"t want to be outdone, so he spread out his hand and water started to fill up the platform.
"Two can play this game." He said internally.
Gregory knew Klaus wouldn"t allow him to do what he wanted, so he gave up on the ideas and continued attacking with his lightning and earth element.
Klaus didn"t ease up even though Gregory stopped his plan, he felt maybe he would continue later on.
While trying to block one attack, he was. .h.i.t on the back by an earth pillar that appeared from the side.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, aching from the pain. This was one of the longest one on one battles he had fought, and things were looking too good for him at the moment.
Even though he pushed Gregory to the limit, he was still coming up short. Gregory was capitalizing on his advantage perfectly.
As the battle continued, Grey finally knew Klaus would lose.
"A shame, he fought well." He said to Void.
Void nodded.
The experts from the Robertson and Braun families felt some sort of pity for Klaus. Even after trying so hard, he came off short. If he were to be in the Third stage of the Sage Plane, the outcome of the battle would"ve been different. The chances of him winning would"ve been higher than that of Gregory"s.
A few minutes later, Klaus fell to the ground, defeated.
Gregory wasn"t in any better condition, but he was still standing.
The battle lasted for over twenty-five minutes, and both fighters fought to their heart"s content.
The Elder from the Braun Family appeared on the platform and stopped Gregory from attacking any further.
"Gregory wins."
Only after announcing the results did everyone come back to their senses. Most of the people felt pity for Klaus who fell short after putting on such a display.
Gregory might"ve won, but Klaus was the one who would be remembered whenever people spoke of this battle.
Grey climbed up the platform and picked Klaus up, "You did good, buddy."
"I still lost." Klaus said with a dejected expression.
"You"ll win the next, I"m sure of it." Grey consoled him.
He was about to take Klaus off the platform when Gregory stopped them.
"My turn."
His voice echoed across the place.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Grey turned around.
"It"s my turn to speak about the stipulations of the battle." Gregory said with a grin on his face.
