Buzz! Whoosh!
The lightning spear buzzed as it shot through the air, slicing through the wind.
The man who just started to give chase after Reynolds was a Wind Elementalist, but even he wasn't as fast as the lightning spear that was coming at him, and the distance between him and Reynolds was close, so the chances of him escaping were small.
He hastily moved to the side, hoping to make sure the spear didn't hit his vitals. Reynolds could care less about where the spear hit.
As soon as sent the spear towards the man, he braced himself because the other man just sent out an attack on him. He couldn't dodge since he was just turning around, so he was pretty much in the same position as the man he attacked.
Boom! Bang!
Both attacks struck their targets at the same time, sending them flying. The spear stabbed the man on his chest, pinning him to the ground as he was electrocuted by the lightning.
Reynolds on the other hand was slammed into the ground by the brutal attack of the earth hammer his opponent used to strike him down.
A pit was created on the ground where he landed, and just like the man his spear hit, he wasn't moving as well, and blood was running down from his head, ear, as well as his nose, and mouth. He could barely hear what was happening around clearly, and other than a ringing sound, he wasn't really hearing anything else.
The Earth Elementalist who was standing mid-air rushed towards his partner who started to twitch slightly from the shock of the lightning.
Since Reynolds wasn't moving, he thought he was dead, or at least close to it since he was already hurt from their previous battles.
The Wind Elementalist slowly opened his eyes, and mustering all the strength he could, he used the wind element to push his partner to the side.
Buzz! Bang!
A lightning bolt struck from above, hitting the place where the Earth Elementalist was previously standing. The Wind Elementalist was struck by the attack, once again suffering the brunt of a lightning attack.
The lightning spear which was on him was still there and acting like a receptor, it absorbed all the lightning that hit the ground, making sure the Wind Elementalist took a hundred percent of the attack.
"Ah…"
The gruesome scream, followed by the charred body of the Wind Elementalist, as well as the smell of burnt scream sent chills down the spine of the Earth Elementalist.
He turned to look in the direction Reynolds was lying in, and he saw him standing, although he could see that he was barely standing properly.
"You scoundrel! I'll make sure you feel as much pain as he is feeling right now. First of all, I'll break all your bones," The Earth Elementalist grinned evilly as he advanced towards Reynolds.
"Come on, hit me with your best shot," Reynolds said as he staggered while trying to stand properly.
A hammer made from the earth element appeared above Reynolds, but he was too weak to even stand properly, much less defend against this attack.
The hammer swung in his direction.
But just as it was about to hit him, it disintegrated.
"Huh?"
Both Reynolds and the Earth Elementalist exclaimed simultaneously.
"Hey bud, you're in such bad shape, I almost didn't recognize you," A figure appeared beside Reynolds like a ghost.
Who else was it if not Grey?
"What do you mean? I look great," Reynolds refuted, with blood slowly dripping down the side of his mouth.
"Well, that's not your regular appearance, but since you like it, I can make sure you keep it, we good?" Grey joked as he rested on his friend's body.
Reynolds almost fell when Grey rested on his body, but he forced himself to stand properly.
"How I want to look is none of your concern. Besides, where have you been all this while?" Reynolds asked, his expression one of anger.
"Here and there, you know, moving around," Grey replied with a nonchalant look.
"Nice, nice, prepare for a group beating when we reunite," Reynolds nodded as he announced.
"Haha, I don't think that will be possible," Grey laughed as he poked Reynolds on his shoulder.
Reynolds grimaced in pain with his eyes closed.
"You, you're Grey? Haha, looks like the Emperor will reward us richly. You fool, why are you staring at them, take down that brat as well," The man fighting against the Elemental Warrior managed to see Grey and couldn't contain his happiness.
The man who was still standing looked at Grey, a little worried given how Grey not only easily destroyed his attack but also appeared out of thin air.
Void appeared on Reynolds' other shoulder, almost making him faint from the pain.
'Do this two plan on killing me?' He complained inside.
Grey looked at his friend before flashing a smile, "You're hurt, why don't I take it from here,"
After saying that, he took a step forward, but he turned around to hand a vial to Reynolds. It was one of the vials containing a healing tonic they collected from the Blooming Viper.
"Don't drink it all, a drop will be enough," He reminded Reynolds.
"You don't need to make a move, everything is under control," Reynolds took the vial.
"Haha, with your current condition, I'm impressed that you're still standing after I rested on your shoulder," Grey laughed out.
Just as he was about to make a move, Reynolds noticed something that stunned him, Grey was still in the Origin Plane. How could he still be in the Origin Plane?
This question repeated itself in his head over a hundred times in the space of a second.
"Grey, they're in the Overlord Plane you can't de…" Reynolds paused mid-sentence because something unbelievable happened in front of him.
No matter how highly he thought of Grey, never in a thousand years did he think he would be able to easily beat someone in the Second stage of the Overlord Plane, while still being at the Peak stage of the Origin Plane, with nothing more than a finger. But it was happening right before him.
The Earth Elementalist was sent flying with a single flick from Grey.
'Monster! Monster! Monster!' He exclaimed repeatedly in his head.
