Klaus and Luthera were the only ones with relieved expressions as they watched Grey take the upper hand in the battle.
Those from the Robertson Family had a sour expression. What was worse was that Gregory was the reason all this was happening. There was no way to stop Grey from using this technique since it wasn't against the rules set up by Gregory.
The Head of the Robertson Family didn't lose hope, since Grey was able to use this special technique to boost his strength, then Tyris could as well.
He muttered softly, but Tyris heard the words clearly.
Tyris managed to dodge Grey's incoming attack when he heard the order from the Head of the Robertson Family. After seeing Grey do this, he also had the thought of doing it, but he felt since he was already a stage ahead, he should still be able to defeat Grey.
Things didn't go to plan for him and he was the one who was getting beat up by Grey. He couldn't even defend himself properly, his defensive ability which he was most proud of was almost useless in front of the current Grey and he felt frustrated because of it.
Even those in the same stage as himself find it difficult to breach through his defense, yet, Grey was doing it so effortlessly.
After getting the order, he didn't hold back, and with a yell, his aura exploded out. Within the blink of an eye, he went from the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane, to the Ninth stage. Although just barely, his aura was well above the Eighth stage.
Grey, seeing this turned serious. He knew Tyris wouldn't just let him win.
He thought about it and decided it would be better if he pushed his strength to the Seventh stage. This way, he would secure his position as the dominant one, while also making sure the distance between them was shortened.
Tyris was four stages above him from the start of the battle, and now, he was three stages above him. If he could take it to just two stages, his victory would be certain.
The crowd were getting pumped up as they watched the battle reach its peak. Grey had given them the greatest shock of their lives, and they couldn't say they weren't entertained by the battles so far. The thrill of having to watch Grey go from being the underdog to going toe to toe with Tyris was exhilarating.
There had been a few who supported Grey from the start of the battle, so seeing him so close to victory, they were excited.
Tyris attacked the moment he was at his peak.
Grey didn't increase his strength immediately, he wanted to see how powerful Tyris was before making the decision.
He created a defensive wall to block the attack Tyris sent his way. When the attack hit the wall, cracks appeared on it, but the wall stood firm.
Seeing this, Grey knew he could still cope with the current Tyris and didn't really need to increase his strength anymore.
The inscriptions that were mid-air attacked once again, sending a bunch of fire arrows and lightning bolts at Tyris.
Grey on the hand compressed a fireball to the smallest. And while Tyris was still dealing with the attacks from the inscriptions, he sent the fireball in his direction.
He also made use of his fire domain, trying to conceal the fireball from Tyris until the last moment.
Tyris tried to remove the domain just like the last time, but before he could even do that, he sensed something coming his way. He was already covered with earth armor, but to be on the safer side, he created an earth wall around him. The direction the attack was from was unknown to him because of the sea of fire surrounding him, so he made the best option, protecting himself from every angle.
Grey, seeing this, moved closer to him and waved his hand. The earth wall on the right part was slashed open by his dimensional slash, giving the fireball the opportunity to go through.
The explosive power in the fireball was evident for all to see, and when it hit Tyris, it sent him flying.
Tyris slammed into the earth wall, breaking through it and crashing to the ground of the platform.
The armor on his body fell off immediately after the attack hit him.
While he was still bouncing off the ground, a lightning arrow struck him with unprecedented speed.
The arrow was followed by an earth hammer that hit him from above, planting him to the ground.
Grey's offensive didn't end there, with this opportunity, he wanted to end the battle in one swift move.
He stretched out his hand, and Tyris felt a strange force dragging him to where Grey was standing.
He tried to attack Grey, but Grey dodged the attack and countered. Grey had the advantage here, with him being the one standing, his attack was very precise, hitting Tyris on the chest.
Tyris coughed up a mouthful of blood from the attack, but still didn't pass out.
When his feet touched the ground, he tried to turn around since Grey was no longer in front of him, but to his shock, he noticed that his feet were covered with earth, making it impossible for him to turn around.
He forcefully removed his leg, but Grey was already standing behind him and attacked him.
This pushed him forward once again. He tried to balance himself, but he was met by another attack.
Grey used his inscriptions to help fight against him at this point. He couldn't even defend against one attack, much less three.
In a few seconds, he fell to the ground, panting heavily, battered from Grey's attacks. He was unable to stand up any longer.
Grey had defeated him, against all odds, in a battle where everyone felt that he would lose. He managed to come up with a way to win every one of them, shocking his doubters.
