Grey wasn't the only one watching the battle with interest, every single individual there was watching the battle.
The Robertson Family had a dark expression. Yes, Gregory had a slight advantage, but Klaus was three stages below him, this shouldn't have been a battle that would last so long.
His father snorted coldly as he watched the fight.
The crowds were entertained, not expecting to watch such a thrilling battle on a day like this. They couldn't ask for anything more.
Luthera was shaking from anxiety, it was normal since her future depended on the outcome of the battle.
Some people from her family hope Klaus wins, while others were on the side of Gregory, there were a few neutral people who didn't care about the outcome of the battle.
"Who do you think will win?" Luthera's mother asked Lothar.
"Gregory. That kid is more talented, but Gregory will win, barring there are no mishaps." Lothar replied without thinking.
He had already seen both of them use their skills, Klaus was more skilled, but the difference in strength was just too much. If there were no mistakes, then Gregory would be victorious.
"I think that kid has a surprise in store." Luthera's mother picked Klaus to win the fight.
They weren't the only ones discussing, people in the crowd did the same as well.
Grey sat down as he listened to their suggestions.
'Void, what do you think?' He asked.
'I'm not sure yet. Klaus seems to be hiding some of his strength, he will only use it when necessary. That guy hasn't gone all-out as well, so it's hard to call. Of course, I want Klaus to be victorious.' Void replied.
Grey agreed with Void's words, he also felt the battle was very close and it was unknown who would win now. Only after the battle reached its peak will they know who would win.
Klaus and Gregory continued their battle, exchanging moves. They were still testing each other out even though each had displayed some powerful attacks, none of them had tried to take an advanced attack.
It didn't take long before Gregory used a large-scale attack. The gravity of the platform was already affecting Klaus' movement, so he felt it was time for him to use his bigger attacks.
Multiple lightning bolts fell from the sky, while he moved, covered with lightning, he paced across the platform, causing a spectacle.
Klaus didn't let the pressure of the gravitational force field affect his reasoning. He created an ice dome that blocked the lightning bolts while preparing an ice needle for Gregory.
If this attack connects, then he might win the fight sooner than he thought. Of course, it wasn't definite since Gregory might be able to fight off the cold. After all, he does have the advantage in cultivation stage.
Klaus locked on to Gregory and released the needle. Its small size made it Klaus' fastest attack.
Gregory, who was moving quickly across the entire platform, suddenly stopped. He started to show signs of freezing.
Most of the people below the Sage Plane were stunned by the sudden turn of events, but those at the Sage Plane or above saw Klaus' attack. Although those in the Sage Plane barely saw it, they sensed it, only after it hit Gregory.
Seeing Gregory's current condition, Klaus created a large snow shape-looking ice that he released into the air. It exploded and snow started to fall.
The effects of the gravitational force field died down instantly as the temperature of the platform dropped.
Gregory was fighting against Klaus' attack, and with the sudden decrease in the temperature, he started to freeze at a faster pace.
Klaus sent out a water orb in his direction.
When the orb got to him, it started to spread across him, and he was soon covered by ice, turning into an ice statue.
"He won?" Someone from the crowd asked.
Staring at Gregory's present condition, it was easy to assume that Klaus had defeated him, but those at the Peak knew the battle was far from over.
A lightning bolt fell from the sky and slammed into the ice statue.
Cracks appeared on the ice statue, and they started to run down the entire statue. Before long, Gregory appeared before everyone once again.
'It was worth the shot.' Klaus shrugged internally.
He knew this wasn't going to stop Gregory, but it didn't stop him. At least he knew for a fact that he could slow him down with the ice needle.
"You're a hateful fellow." Gregory gritted his teeth, anger showing in his eyes.
Klaus was the one who seemed to have the first major blow, and this impacted his pride. He was already feeling infuriated by the fact that he couldn't beat Klaus up easily, now he suffered from Klaus' attack as well. It was annoying to him, to say the least.
"You're not impressive, at all." Klaus finally spoke, and his words sent Gregory hysterical.
Grey and Void chuckled when they saw this. Klaus could be said to have mastered the act of infuriating his opponents, even when he doesn't want to, he seems to annoy them.
Making people more upset was a gift Klaus had honed over the years, it had proven to be useful on some occasions.
Gregory rushed at Klaus, but Klaus used an ice dome to protect himself. When Gregory got close, he unleashed an attack.
To his surprise, the attack didn't break the ice dome, however, he saw something shocking, the ice retaliated, sending an attack almost at the same power as his attack his way.
Not expecting it, and being in such close range, he was forced back. While he was trying to get his footing, Klaus jumped out of the ice dome and attacked with a large ice sword that connected with Gregory on his ribs.
Gregory's face distorted from the pain and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His figure was sent flying, crashing into the platform.
Klaus rushed over, hoping to continue his assault, but Gregory popped back up with a stronger aura, sending a lightning spear at Klaus.
Klaus blocked it, but he was pushed a few meters back.
Standing, both fighters faced off, the battle was starting to pick up intensity.
