Reynolds turned and his lightning sword turned into a spear that he stabbed in the direction of the Seventh stage Venerable he was fighting with.
The Venerable tried to block the attack with his water element, but the lightning destroyed everything in its path before striking the head of the man.
The man died with his eyes open.
The gap between a Peak Venerable and a Seventh stage Venerable had never been as wide as what Grey and his friends were displaying.
Klaus was a freak, the bandits all thought he was the only one. Grey's appearance changed that thought, now Reynolds' merged form has also proven to be a freakish entity as well.
If these bandits at the Peak were asked if there were anyone at the Peak they would be afraid of, they would say no. But now, they were frightened of Grey and his friends.
Individually, other than Alice, they couldn't put up a fight against the other three. Grey, Klaus, and Reynolds were just too strong.
"This isn't fair." One of the five Peak Venerables Grey was holding back said with a depressed look.
"Kill the girl." Their plan was changed to killing Alice. She was the only one they had any hope of killing right now.
Two from the five were able to break free of Grey's hold and rush into battle. Now, it was three on one on Grey's end, while it was three on three on the other end.
Klaus blocked the path of the Darkness Elementalist with a grin, "I'm your opponent. Don't worry about them, they will join you. Just try not to be the first to die, it will be embarrassing."
The Darkness Elementalist snorted, he knew at his current state, he wasn't a match for Klaus. But if Klaus thought he could kill him, then he was a fool.
Alice was faced with an Earth Elementalist, while Klaus faced a Dual Elementalist who had both the fire and wind element.
The Space Elementalist didn't leave Grey. He was the only one who could at least keep Grey in check. They've seen Grey's strength and knew without the Space Elementalist, he would decimate them.
Grey felt relieved when he had to face only three people.
There was a short moment of silence before Grey took a step forward. His figure blurred as he bolted straight for the Space Elementalist.
Klaus attacked too, sending out ice arrows at the Darkness Elementalist.
Alice and Reynolds started their battles as well.
Boom! Bam! Bang!
The battle peaked right from the start. Grey used his destructive elements to the highest, not holding back with his attacks.
Reynolds was the second most destructive person present. His lightning attacks were fierce.
The Space Elementalist dodged Grey's attack, and tried to create an opportunity for the others. But Grey was quick to react as he left the place, not giving the Space Elementalist the chance he wanted to block his path.
The other two attacked, but Grey was able to block it, even though his earth wall was broken down after the attack, he was able to stop them. He used a technique he hadn't used in a long time, meteor descent.
Fire covered rocks started to fall in the area where his battle was taking place.
The power behind each rock was shocking.
The Space Elementalist had no issues with dodging the rocks. The other two were forced to take the attacks. The good news was that since it was a large-scale attack, the attack power wasn't on the same level as each of Grey's normal attacks.
While they were blocking the attacks, Grey made the ground they were standing on soft.
The sudden change made them lose their balance and focus.
A lightning bolt fell from the sky, landing on the bodies of both men.
The Space Elementalist attacked, using his space element to cut through all of Grey's defenses.
Grey dodged the attack when he saw that his defenses were useless.
Of everyone present, only the Space Elementalist gave him a headache. To be honest, he didn't enjoy facing Space Elementalists. They always take away the advantage he has with his space element, and also make life difficult for him.
The Space Elementalist's aim wasn't to take Grey down, he knew that attack wouldn't be able to do it. His aim was to stop Grey from continuing his attacks against the duo, who had already been hit by lightning.
With Grey not being able to continue his planned assault, the duo were free. Even though they were struck by lightning, they could still fight.
On Klaus' end, things were not looking good for the Darkness Elementalist. As the battle prolonged, he started to notice something strange, he was slowing down.
At first, he felt it was due to the strain on his body after his hand was cut off, but he realized he was not only slowing down physically, but even his elemental attack was slowing down. He's finding it difficult to control his elements.
"You… what did you do to me?" He didn't need anyone to tell him this was Klaus' handiwork, Klaus was smiling sheepishly in front of him.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
"Stop playing dumb!"
Klaus gave an innocent smile and explained, "I injected a good amount of ice particles into your body. Particles that are slowly shutting you down."
"Given how long it took before you noticed it, I'm sorry to say, but you're finished."
"If you had sensed it sooner, you would've been able to expel it. But I made sure to use very little on each contact to ensure you don't sense it."
"Who would've thought you'd go this way."
Klaus' words left the man dumbstruck. He was a Darkness Elementalist and was a master in the art of slowly poisoning people with his element. He knew what Klaus said was hundred percent accurate, especially in a situation like this.
If the other five weren't fighting, then they would be able to help him expel it, but since they were fighting, he had to do it on his own.
He wanted to use his darkness element to fight against it, but when he saw the condition of his body, he was flabbergasted. Even his bloodstream was freezing. At this pace, in a few minutes he would be fully frozen.
