Chapter 849 Wanting To Win At All Costs
Bang! Boom!
Two figures shot out from the ongoing battle, crashing on the ground.
One of the figures was Grey, he quickly picked himself up and rushed into the battle once again. He was a little careless and was. .h.i.t by an attack, luckily, it wasn"t without its gain.
When he got hit by an attack, he also sent one of the members of the Syphilis Faction flying, and that person was in a far worse state than he was.
The young man who Grey sent flying was currently lying on the ground. Surprisingly, he was one of the three injured some time ago, so this increased the pain he was feeling from his previous injury.
Before he could even stand up, Alec appeared from nowhere and sent him flying off the platform.
"One down." He said before turning to look at Grey who was holding back the others to ensure that Alec was not disturbed.
"That guy, sheesh!" Alec didn"t even know what to say about Grey.
From his guess, he felt maybe Grey would be on his level, or even below him. After Grey managed to ward off Lydia, he took him to his level, but now, he felt he was the one below Grey. Well, he knew in terms of strength, he was below Grey.
First off, Grey had a higher number of attack options given his multiple elements, and the fire and lightning elements he had shown were actually two special types. It was insane just thinking about it.
"I"m glad he"s actually one of us." He thought internally before joining Grey on the platform.
The members from the Pyrmond Faction cheered when they saw Alec and Grey eliminating one person. Fighting against eight people and actually eliminating one of them was an impressive feat.
The Elders all had a hint of smiles on their faces.
Conor on the other hand felt his blood boiling from the excitement, he almost wanted to rush onto the platform and join Grey and Alec"s fight against those from the Syphilis Faction. Just watching the battle was exciting, he couldn"t help but wonder how it felt like partic.i.p.ating in such a battle.
"A shame I broke through early. I know we"ll team up when they break through to the Sage Plane, until then, I can only wait." Conor sighed in dejection.
For the first time, he wanted to actually team up with people who were not part of his family. He had fought alongside Grey, but that couldn"t really be compared to this. When they were fighting at that time, they didn"t have a disadvantage in numbers, and when they raided the capital, they separated.
While those from the Pyrmond Faction were feeling elated, the atmosphere in the Syphilis Faction"s camp was the opposite. Grey and Alec eliminated one person, this meant that the pressure on them had dropped as well. Since they could eliminate one while they were fighting against eight, then they could definitely do it again when fighting against seven.
"Where did that boy come from?" An Elder from the Syphilis Faction asked in annoyance.
They only prepared for Alec, and now that was gone thanks to Grey.
"No idea. There are no records of his family history in the Pyrmond Faction. I don"t think they know about it. However, there"s something about his family name." An Elder replied.
"Oh, what"s it?" The first Elder turned to look at the Elder who just finished speaking.
"His last name"s Dawson. I have no idea if he"s from that Dawson Family, but given the talent he"s showing, there shouldn"t be any Dawson Family that can produce such a talent." The Elder explained, and after some time he added, "There"s also the possibility that he"s from a random low level family. As you can see, he"s only acquainted with the kid from the Dawson Family, but they don"t seem close."
After listening to the Elder"s words, the others started to think about the matter. The Dawson Family were well known, if they had a talent like Grey, they would not hide him. Take Conor for instance, he was well known among the younger and even the older generation in this Region because of his talent.
Grey is above Conor in terms of talent and strength, so he would gain more fame if he were from the Dawson Family. And even if the Dawson Family decided to hide him, it made no sense in letting him leave now to join the Pyrmond Faction which was on the decline.
A lot of possibilities flashed through the heads of the Elders, but they also didn"t rule out the chance that he might be from the Dawson Family. It might be slim, but since it was a possibility, they couldn"t remove it from their list.
While the Elders were thinking about Grey"s background, changes were happening on the platform.
After Alec knocked out the young man from the platform, he joined Grey in fighting against the group once again. They wanted to use the same strategy, but it failed.
They had been hit by multiple attacks and had been sent flying a few times in the s.p.a.ce of some minutes, but they had ensured to keep themselves on the platform.
Presently, the aura of those from the Syphilis Faction started to increase once again. This was unexpected since after the first increase, doing this would do more harm to them than good. Their strengths might increase, but they risked damaging their cores.
"You"re destroying yourselves you fools!" Alec screamed at them when he saw this.
Even though they were not from the same Faction, he couldn"t stand them doing this just because they wanted to win so badly.
"Shut your mouth and lose." A young lady from the group said with a low growl before attacking.
The others joined in on the attack as well.
The Elders from the Pyrmond Faction looked at the scene with a change of expression. This was the same thing that happened during the last compet.i.tion. The strength of the members of the Syphilis Faction continued increasing, and they didn"t stop, even when they knew it would be detrimental to them.
