Grey stood in the middle of multiple horned soldiers, but none of them dared to get close to him.
A smile appeared on his face as he took a step forward. He realized that these guys were already too scared to even block his path any longer.
"Move aside, you will only die if you try blocking my path." He stated calmly.
He didn't seem like someone who was in another realm, encircled by people from another race. Rather, he looked like someone who was taking a stroll in his backyard. This was one of the things that the soldiers found annoying, unfortunately, they knew they were no match for him.
What Grey did with the gravity already terrified them, seeing how he made those horned men vanish made things worse. Unknown to them, all Grey did was to use the logic from the wind element. If two opposing forces spinned in different directions, it would form something like a grater where they meet.
He noticed this when he tried to use his gravitational force field against the one those from the horned race created. When he sensed the potential of the skill, he hid from the powerful figures.
Only after killing many horned men did they finally find out. Now, with the gravitational field around him, anyone who got within five meters of him would feel a powerful pressure that would force them to the ground. This was the reason all these soldiers stared at him but didn't attack.
While Grey was moving forward, he saw a figure standing in front of his path.
"Your journey ends here." The horned man said coldly.
He was in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane, and Grey could tell his strength was well above ordinary people at the Ninth stage.
"I can say the same for you." Grey replied.
The horned man gave a nod and all the soldiers beside him created a space for them to engage in battle.
"The general would teach him who's boss. Once the general beats him up, we will have the fun of tearing him piece by piece." Some of the soldiers engaged in a battle.
Grey overheard them but didn't feel much from it. He had defeated a genius at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, so he didn't feel threatened by someone who still hadn't even entered the Peak of the Overlord Plane yet.
When the general saw Grey's calm expression, he took a step forward and entered the five meters mark. He didn't flinch even after the pressure descended on him.
Grey was a little taken aback, but he didn't feel pressured. He didn't underestimate the horned man, even though he was confident he would beat him, he still didn't underestimate him.
The man charged at him after getting accustomed to the pressure. Grey blocked the attack of the horned man, but he was pushed back from the first blow.
He shook off the slight discomfort he felt in his hands and continued his fight with the horned man. They engaged purely in a fist fight, and Grey finally started to understand that a well-trained general of an army shouldn't be compared to a genius.
The general's skill and decision-making in battle were well ahead of Grey's. Even though Grey had superior elemental power, the general was more technical. Grey was forced to start using his elemental powers just after two minutes of constant battle.
He was on the back foot all through the time. The general attacked sensibly, not giving Grey the chance he wanted to use his flashy moves. While Grey was still having difficulties dealing with him, the general brought out a weapon.
A spear that had five different colors, blue, red, brown, silver, and black. Grey felt genuine pressure from the sword.
'Hey, take the spear, it's good.' Void's voice echoed in his head.
'I can tell.' Grey brought out one of the elemental weapons he had in his storage ring.
He engaged in combat with the general, and he wasn't able to take the advantage. However, he wasn't at a disadvantage as well. He fought sensibly now and gave the general very little opportunities to hit him.
The duo paused after fighting for over five minutes.
"You're a powerful opponent, I must give you that." The general commented and looked at Grey in a new light.
"I can say the same for you. You're not on the same level as those geniuses from your race I've fought against." Grey replied.
"Sadly, everything has an end. This will be the end of you. I hope you lived a good life till now." The general said and took an attacking pose with the spear stretched in front of him, aiming at Grey.
"I've been living a good life, and I will continue living a good life." Grey held his sword and prepared to attack as well.
Both parties looked at each other and vanished from their spots. All those in a lower stage saw was a bright light flashing.
A minute later, Grey and the general's figure stopped moving and they stared at each other.
"Goodbye." Grey said and kept his sword.
Even though the general was powerful, against Grey's array of elements, he still fell in the end.
Grey walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder, "I will take this now. You don't know how to fully utilize it."
He took the spear from the hands of the general who stood still, not able to move. His eyes were placed on Grey's figure. He tried to speak and blood came out of his mouth.
"Let me show you the magnificent power of this spear of yours before you pass on." Grey held the spear in the sky and an orb started to appear on the tip.
The orb had five colors, identical to the one around the spear.
All those from the horned race sensed a powerful energy converging on the tip of the general's spear and they couldn't help but look at Grey. This was an attack the general had only been able to use once in battle, yet Grey was using it with such freedom.
"Disappear."
