Chapter 540 – Getting Stronger While Fighting!
Crash! Boom!
Grey"s figure crashed into the ground, bouncing off repeatedly after being hit by the giant hammer Lucan made.
Fire could be seen running across the body of the hammer, just like what the Barbarian Grey saw back at Eagle"s City when he just came to the Aurora Continent made.
"You see, our family learned the act of combining the earth and fire element from the Barbarians. Although, it isn"t the same thing they do, it is pretty close," Lucan explained as he slowly walked towards where Grey"s body was lying.
Grey stood up with a little difficulty, his shirt destroyed from the attack, and his mask was nowhere to be seen. Black marks could be seen on his body and his left cheek.
"Oh, still standing, guess there"s a reason you were able to beat people in the Overlord Plane even when you"re still at the Peak of the Origin Plane," Lucan said before raising his hand, slamming the hammer at Grey once again.
Buzz! Swoosh!
Red lightning danced across Grey"s body as he vanished from the spot, dodging the hammer strike by a few inches, before heading towards Lucan.
He appeared a few meters away from him, sending out a powerful lightning and fire orb at him.
Lucan hastily raised an earth wall to block the attack.
Bang! Boom!
The orb slammed into the earth wall before exploding, causing cracks to appear on the wall.
Swoosh! Bam!
A flash cut across the wall, made of blue flames.
Lucan hurriedly retreated, making sure the light didn"t hit him.
The wall broke apart, and Grey"s figure came to view, on his right hand was a blue flaming sword, and on his left hand was an orb that was made of lightning and fire.
Grey moved the instant the wall broke apart, attacking with full force.
Lucan didn"t stay idle, although he could tell that the current Grey wasn"t the same as the one he had gained the upper hand over, he was still confident in his abilities.
….
"Huh? He grew stronger again!" Sylvia, who was watching the battle from the side explained in shock.
The aura she could sense from Grey was more powerful when compared to the one she sensed earlier in the morning when he came back from his training. What she still found unacceptable was the fact that he was still in the Origin Plane.
One has to know that the strength Lucan was displaying was far above that of those geniuses from the Gale or Acer region, or any region they had been to before this one.
Lucan can easily beat up two of those geniuses in the same stage as himself without even breaking a sweat. Yet, Grey was exchanging moves with him in what almost looked like a deadlock situation.
She was both impressed and shocked by what she was seeing. Grey"s current speed of growth was shocking.
The rate at which Grey"s strength had improved from the first she saw him until now was unheard of, especially when looking at the fact that he still hasn"t broken through to the Overlord Plane yet.
….
Grey"s sudden increase in strength made him faster, stronger, and deadlier.
Unlike the first time, Lucan was having a hard time keeping him at bay, and the battle had increased in intensity.
A seal suddenly appeared across the entire platform that was over one hundred cubic meters, and lightning rose up from the ground.
This was the array Grey learned from the group who captured the Barbarians. He currently infused it with four elements, this way, he could manifest them at will, while also gaining the privilege of sending out attacks as well. It works almost like an inscription. With this array, he could also move quickly with the s.p.a.ce element, so it would be extremely difficult for Lucan to hit him now.
When Lucan saw the seal on the ground, an earth pillar appeared that shot him into the air, just before the lightning rose, saving him from the attack. But he wasn"t completely away from Grey"s scope yet, after all, the array wasn"t the only thing that was attacking.
Grey appeared in the sky, close to him before sending out a stream of flames.
Lucan attacked as well.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, causing an explosion.
Grey shot through the explosion, heading straight for Lucan.
Lucan seeing Grey head towards him didn"t panic, rather, he made a swift movement with his finger, drawing an array mid-air.
When Grey saw this, he halted his movement, before hastily dodging to his left.
Swoosh! Bang!
A beam of red light shot out of an array that appeared in front of Lucan, shooting into the sky before exploding.
He was from a family that had a long history as forgemasters, he was bound to be a great array master as well.
Grey created two inscriptions while being aided with the array that was on the ground of the platform as well.
He continued attacking Lucan with powerful strikes.
Lucan blocked the ones he could, while also dodging the ones he couldn"t. He was also attacking with the beam, trying to shoot down Grey.
The commotion the duo caused had attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion, and the platform was currently filled with viewers.
Grey and Lucan were oblivious to this fact though because the battle had entered its most critical stage with both parties going all out, well, this couldn"t really be counted as going all out for Grey.
Swoosh! Boom! Bang!
The speed of their attacks increased, and Grey who was covered in red lightning could be seen moving quickly across the entire platform.
Boom! Bam! Swoosh! Buzz!
Attacks continued flying before Grey finally found the opportunity to strike Lucan.
Without delay, he shot a lightning arrow towards Lucan who was busy protecting himself from the fire snake in front of him.
By the time Lucan noticed the arrow, it was already too late. He soon came up with a decision.
With a step, he moved towards the arrow, which was the only way he could get a chance to edge closer to Grey to deliver an attack.
