Grey dodged an attack, but he was still pushed back by the impact of the attack.
Lydia on the other hand knew that she couldn't afford to play with Grey any longer, a small slip up and Grey would capitalize on it. She had seen it from Grey's effort of almost eliminating her a few minutes ago.
As the battle progressed, she started to feel a little annoyed. She didn't let it cloud her judgment, but she was irritated at the sight of Grey. No matter what she tried to do, she had been unable to send him out of the platform or knock him out.
At first, she thought after using the ultimate technique, she woud be the winner, but Grey was a tough nut to crack.
"I like opponents like you." She muttered under her breath, her expression was one of anger.
She continued attacking Grey, but whenever she was close to eliminating him, he would find a way to survive. Grey was very technical when defending and attacking, he made sure to plan how he would defend very precisely, this way, even if she managed to force him back, he still escaped.
She tried to calm her mind, after all, she had the upper hand in the battle.
Grey on the other hand decided to employ Klaus' tactics, since he couldn't use his elements, and Lydia wasn't giving him the chance to get close to her, he wanted to annoy her so she would make a bad decision.
He dodged an attack and mocked, "You can't even beat someone who isn't using his elements, some genius you are."
When Lydia heard his words, she was infuriated and increased the intensity of her attacks.
Grey focused mainly on dodging and blocking, although he was pushed back by the attacks whenever he tried to block them, he made sure he wasn't anywhere near the edge of the platform. He used this to continue mocking Lydia while also trying to shorten the gap between them.
When he saw that she was at her peak when it came to being angry, he decided it was time to use the last chance he got in using his elemental essence. He still didn't know why this worked on him, but he was going to make sure he thought of a way to not make this happen a second time.
His figure blinked, and even though Lydia was able to sense the ripples in space, it was still too late.
Grey attacked the moment he appeared, even though he was using his physical strength, it wasn't something Lydia could neglect.
She managed to set up a defensive wall, but it was useless against Grey, since he broke it quite easily.
She made a second wall, but she was still sent flying. Grey didn't let the chance go and rushed after her. His figure was about to reach her when he noticed a slight change in her body.
Before he could move back, he was picked up by a tornado and thrown into the air. If he had his elements, he could easily stop this, but without his elements, he was unable to stop it.
He was picked up into the air, and while trying to keep himself protected, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
He winced as he tried to open his eyes, before him was a smiling Lydia.
"You know, I feel you're more dangerous than Alec, so if I can, I want to end you here." She smiled as she looked into Grey's eyes.
Grey didn't let her words get to him, he had never been afraid of anyone before, well, except his mother. Even when fighting against those in a Plane above him, he was not scared, much less someone in the same Plane.
He continued protecting himself, as he tried to force his body down. With his body mid-air, he couldn't move it properly, since he didn't have his elements at the moment, he was almost a sitting duck.
Lydia attacked his back since he wasn't able to protect that part of his body.
Grey felt immense pain from the attacks, unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
The Elders, as well as the members from the Pyrmond Faction looked on with worried expressions.
Grey opened his eyes and they glowed with a pale blue light.
When Lydia looked into his eyes, she froze, unable to move.
The attacks stopped and Grey's figure came crashing down, along with hers.
The audience were shocked by this, they didn't know what happened all of a sudden. Lydia was obviously ahead, however she fell down, along with Grey. What could have happened?
The Elders from both Factions were shocked, never expecting a change to occur in the battle.
They looked at both fighters with a strange expression before they all looked at Grey as if staring at a monster.
"Mental attacks, he could use mental attacks as well?" An Elder from the Syphilis Faction couldn't help but ask.
"There was no information of him being able to use mental attacks. What the hell is going on?" The Elder exclaimed.
"I guess we aren't the only ones with secrets." Another Elder said.
"Look at them, do they look like they know as well?" An Elder pointed at the Elders from the Pyrmond Faction.
The Elders all have a shocked expression, just like the Elders from the Syphilis Faction. This meant that they had no idea of Grey's mental attack ability.
If this was what they felt it was, then Grey kept his trump cards hidden from even those at his Faction. With this thought, they couldn't help but wonder where Grey came from.
They did their research on Grey, but nothing spoke of him having a mental attack. Grey was becoming a problem for them.
The Elders from the Pyrmond Faction looked at Grey with surprised and shocked expression.
"Did you know he had mental attacks as well?" They turned to the Elder who brought him into the Faction.
"I had no idea." The Elder replied.
