Chapter 731 - A Gamble II

"What?!" The young lady exclaimed in shock, she didn't think Klaus would call such an amount.

She might be from a well-off family, but she couldn't afford something like this. Even if she managed to find a way to get it, it would mean emptying her savings and also borrowing from people as well.

"You can't take part in a free gamble now, can you?" Klaus asked with an evil grin, "Two of my friends might lose their chances of gaining the number one spot, while only her would lose her chance. That doesn't seem fair in my honest opinion."

"We'll pay it." The young lady who was still part of the competition said coolly.

"I…" The young lady eliminated wanted to speak but the other one whispered to her.

"Do you think we would both lose against a single person?" The young lady who was part of the competition asked in a soft voice.

The young lady who was eliminated shook her head, now she understood why her partner didn't think much about it. They would win anyway, so there was no use in thinking about the stones.

The truth was, normally, one of them could hold their own against a Seventh stage Overlord Plane Elementalists, much less now that they were combining their strength. To them, they had already won the battle.

After getting confirmation from them, Klaus gave out a mischievous smile.

"Bud, it's up to you now. Those stones are all yours. You know you'll be doing a lot of traveling once you leave here." Klaus whispered to Grey.

Grey was taken aback when he realized the reason Klaus agreed to this gamble was just so he could get him essence stones. They've seen the cost of traveling, so they all knew it was extremely expensive.

Grey had the idea of selling some of the items he had but now he wouldn't need to.

Klaus walked to the front of the place, facing everyone. Being someone who had gone to a lot of parties with his father, and even hosted a few, he was very good with this. He greeted everyone present before asking them to bear witness to the wager.

With these geniuses from the top Factions here, the young ladies would be unable to renege from it.

The crowd agreed to it. They would get to watch a free battle. Not just that, but they've been waiting to see how powerful Grey or Klaus was. Since Alice and Reynolds were already this powerful, then the other two would be even more powerful. If they were not more powerful, they shouldn't be weaker.

This was what the crowd felt.

Joyner agreed with the battle and called one of the guards in the Sage Plane to set up a platform for them, and also raise a force field to ensure that none of the battle ripples spread out.

In no time, the platform was set.

The young ladies were the first to step onto the platform, they were eager to defeat Grey.

The young lady who was eliminated by Reynolds would not be able to join the competition again, but she wanted to make sure Reynolds didn't get the first or second position he desired. This might be petty, but she was annoyed by her defeat.

Grey calmly walked to the platform. All eyes were on him. His facial features were well shown by the moonlight, and it was breathtaking.

Klaus was handsome, but he paled in comparison with Grey. There were a few ladies who inadvertently started supporting Grey.

Some were speaking about Grey's appearance. Being already used to this, Grey didn't let it distract him.

This was one of the reasons he preferred wearing a mask. Keeping his face hidden would save him some trouble.

Klaus still got glances from ladies, and since Klaus wasn't as cold towards strangers as Grey, things were easy for him.

Grey didn't speak when he entered the platform, there was nothing to say to these ladies. Although, he had to say he pitied them since they fell into Klaus' evil hands, but he needed the stones, so there was no going back.

Joyner was the one in charge of the battle. He walked into the platform, "There's still time to back away from the bet. Once I call for the start of the battle, then it's certain."

The platform remained silent, none of the people there spoke about stopping the bet. Since they wanted this, he had no right to stop it.

"Begin!" He called for the start of the battle and left the platform. He didn't forget to warn them about endangering each other's lives.

It was normal that in battles like this, people get hurt, but if any of them actively tried to kill anyone, then they would be punished accordingly.

Kyle had seen Grey fight before, so he knew he was a powerful Elementalist, but he still felt a little pessimistic about his chances of winning easily.

"Are you two sure about this?" Kyle asked Alice and Reynolds.

"Of course, Grey needs the stones. Besides, they can't defeat him." Alice said with a confident smile.

Kyle looked at them, he felt the same confidence as the time they said Reynolds would win.

'Could he really defeat these two?' He asked himself.

Grey was powerful, this was something he didn't dare to doubt, but the fact that he was fighting against two powerful geniuses made him question his ability.

Of the two ladies, one was a Multi Elementalist, while the other was a Dual Elementalist. Both surprisingly had the darkness element.

The Multi Elementalist was the one Reynolds defeated while the other was the one who was still in the competition.

The Dual Elementalist had the darkness and fire element. She was the first to attack Grey, giving the Multi Elementalist the chance to create the darkness ball she used to weaken Reynolds.

Grey saw this and smiled. He naturally couldn't be affected by this. For someone who stayed in a poison miasma for days, this was a joke to him. He didn't even bother with stopping her.
