"Thirty wins, I'm only a stage above you, I believe you will be a worthy opponent." The Tiger commented as he stared at Grey with ferocity.
Grey looked at him and nodded, he was currently having thirty wins thanks to the young lady from the previous battle, now all he needed was seventy more. If he wins this battle, he would get thirty more, taking his total to sixty. He couldn't help but thank Jonas internally. If he had known of this from the start, he wouldn't have wasted his time staying till the next day.
Of course, he knew the reason the Tiger accepted his challenge was due to wanting to test his abilities. They all believed they were powerful in the same stage as others. Since he had that many wins, it's normal for him to be very confident in his abilities.
Grey looked at the man in charge and the man said the words, 'Begin'.
The Tiger exploded out with terrifying speed, rushing at Grey in all four, it stretched out its claws which were covered in flames, and slashed them at Grey.
The claw attack enlarged as it got closer to Grey.
Grey created an earth wall. A large claw mark appeared on the wall, creating a hole that showed what was on the other side.
Grey's figure could be seen sliding back as he looked at his arms which flashed with a white mark before quickly changing to lightning. His dragon scales appeared on their own, helping him block the hidden attack of the Tiger.
The fire element was not the only thing the Tiger had, it also had the wind element as well. It used both to attack, but the fire element being as dominant as it usually is covered the wind claw. The wind claw was also a bit late, giving the fire claw the chance to first destroy Grey's defensive wall.
Grey hastily hid his dragon scales, luckily, it didn't show too much and he also used the lightning element to cover up the place, tricking others to feel that was what appeared. Also, the scales only appeared for only a quarter of a second, and he reacted quickly.
His eyes turned sharp as he took another glance at his hand before looking at the Tiger. The Tiger smirked and charged at him once again.
The explosiveness of the Tiger was out of Grey's expectations, given its large size, he never thought it would be this fast.
Grey is faster than most people in the same stage, and even those a stage or two higher than him, but the Tiger is slightly faster than he is.
The Tiger attacked once again, using the same method. The fire element first breaks his defense, then the wind element which moves in an almost untraceable manner.
Even when prepared for the attack, Grey still found it difficult to track it and was once again forced back. He was not hurt by it this time, but he was still not able to deal with it easily.
"You have quite a strong body. I want to see how long it can sustain the impact of the attacks." The Tiger laughed and attacked again.
Yes, Grey was blocking each attack, but his body was still suffering from the impact of the attack, hence being pushed back.
Contrary to the Tiger's thought process though, Grey's physical body was far stronger than what it thought. So no matter how much it attacks, it wouldn't really be able to do much harm to him as long as he blocked it.
Grey continued blocking the attacks of the Tiger as he adjusted to the speed of the Tiger. He hadn't even been able to use his space element due to how fast the attacks of the Tiger were coming, if he tried to move, he would be forced to defend.
After some thought, he decided to use a unique space skill to counter the Tiger. Since it relied heavily on its speed, it will naturally take a short pause after attacking, that was all the time Grey needed to turn the battle in his favor.
The Tiger once again attacked, and as usual, it expected Grey to block the attack.
This time, Grey did what no one expected, he took a step forward and welcomed the attack. He didn't set up a defensive wall, rather, he moved forward with his body.
Most of the people present felt like he had gone mad.
Their minds were blown when Grey didn't even bother to stop the attack when it hit him.
Their expressions changed when the explosion that was supposed to follow suit didn't occur, rather, the attack passed through like there was no one there.
The pupils of the Tiger constricted when it saw this and hastily tried to retreat.
Grey, who had managed to create an opportunity for himself, would never let this chance go. He took another step and appeared in front of the Tiger, his right hand clenched into a fist and struck the Tiger on the head.
A pale blue flame appeared on the tip of Grey's fist just as it made contact with the Tiger and a large explosion rang out.
Roar!
The Tiger's roar was heard around as it was sent flying from the attack.
Grey didn't stop there, his figure flashed once again and he appeared by the Tiger that was still mid-air, just as he was about to attack, the Tiger opened its mouth and tried to bite him.
He was forced to retreat, but it didn't stop him from attacking. A lightning bolt struck the airborne Tiger, making it roar in pain once again.
Those in the crowd looked at the scene in shock. It was as if they were re-watching what happened with the young lady. All it took Grey was a single chance he created for himself and the battle was pretty much over. Once again, he had created the chance, and he had started beating the Tiger, overpowering it with ease.
