Boom! Bam!
The pressure on Grey and Alec increased and for the first time since the start of the battle, the duo weren't looking comfortable. Even when fighting against eight people, they weren't this flustered.
The duo were sent flying, crashing into the ground. They hastily jumped up and moved in two directions.
Grey flew into the air and unleashed a powerful lightning rain on those from the Syphilis Faction. The members separated when the attack was about to hit them. Two of them were unfortunately hit by the attack.
The impact of the attack sent them slamming into the ground.
While in the air, Grey created a large space array on the platform to boost the teleportation speed of the Space Elementalists on the platform. He didn't restrict it to himself because of Alec, he only made sure to inform only him about it.
There were two Space Elementalists in the ranks of those from the Syphilis Faction, so if they managed to find out about it, it would be a little bit of an issue for them. Grey would destroy the array once they start using it, but for now, he would use it to his advantage.
With the help of the space array, Grey and Alec moved faster than their opponents. They were faster than their opponents to begin with, but now, it was increasingly difficult for them to even hit either of them.
Their figures flashed across the platform, dodging the attacks of those from the Syphilis Faction while also attacking as well.
As time went on, the Space Elementalists from the Syphilis Faction noticed the sharp boost in the speed of Grey and Alec's teleportation, they quickly traced it to the array and also used it as well.
The sudden boost from two people was a little too sudden for Grey and Alec, but they had been preparing for this from the time they started using the array.
They evaded the attacks of the two Space Elementalists, but they ran into an attack from the remaining five figures.
Two attacked Alec, while the other three attacked Grey.
They tried to block the attack, but the impact forced the duo back. Grey's figure flashed as he retreated from the impact of the attack and he hastily destroyed the array. The three people who attacked him chased after him as he retreated.
One of the Space Elementalists appeared close to Grey and attacked. Grey was forced to block the attack, but it delayed him, giving the trio the chance to shorten the gap between them.
With them already so close, Grey couldn't turn his back to them. He faced them head-on.
The trio attacked, with the Space Elementalist by the side making things difficult.
On Alec's side of the battle, things were not too different from Grey's side. He was also stuck in a battle against multiple opponents. He noticed one of them was particularly more powerful than the others. From what he deduced, this person increased his strength higher than that of the others. This made him stronger, but it also started to show immediate signs of causing him harm.
'This fools, to think they would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the Faction.' He complained as he fought.
Since they were willing to do this, it meant that victory would not come as easy as he thought.
Two minutes later.
Of the seven people left from the Syphilis Faction, five of them had increased their strength to a higher level.
Grey and Alec were finding it very difficult keeping up with all of them.
Everyone was starting to feel like the Pyrmond Faction was on the verge of a loss when a change started to occur on the platform.
Grey and Alec's aura started to rise as well, but Alec's aura stopped after a small increase. He didn't boost it to the highest at the start since he was trying to avoid endangering himself, this was the limit he could get to without endangering himself.
When Grey used the Fusion State the first time, he didn't even show an increase of up to thirty percent of his strength. But now, he has increased it to over sixty percent.
The Fusion State usually gives him an increase in stages, but once he gets to the Peak of a Plane, the increase would be a little different. It couldn't take him across Planes, but he would be able to show strength that could rival that stage.
It was just like the time he was at the Peak of the Origin Plane, he could fight against people in the Overlord Plane with the help of the Fusion State.
Now that he had eight elements, he would normally see an increase of eight stages, but now, it would transform into a greater strength, pushing his power above the Overlord Plane.
A powerful energy force exploded out with Grey standing in the middle. Alec retreated, giving him some space.
The members of the Syphilis Faction who were on the verge of attacking him were also forced back, unable to attack him.
"How's that possible?" One of the Elders from the Pyrmond Faction stood up worriedly.
The increase in Grey's current aura was far above what an Overlord Plane could show.
"How that's possible is not my worry, what the hell is he doing?" The Elder who brought Grey into the Faction screamed in annoyance.
"His core wouldn't be able to sustain this. He would lose everything." Another Elder understood what the Elder meant and said with a sigh.
"Unfortunately, we can't stop it any longer." Another Elder said with a dejected voice.
It was common knowledge that using special techniques like this to increase one's strength came with a repercussion. Even a small boost came at a price, the increase in Grey's strength was by no means small.
They felt this would cause him irreparable damage.
Grey on the other hand smiled when he reached the peak of the Fusion State.
"Welcome, to my domain of fire."
