Chapter 843 Mistake?

"This is bad." An Elder from the Pyrmond Faction muttered when they watched their sixth member lose to a member of the Syphilis Faction.

The other Elders nodded with a sour expression. The geniuses the Syphilis Faction brought out this time were a notch better than theirs. In fact, if not for Alec's impressive strength, he might've lost, but since he dominated his opponent, they never got to see his opponent's power.

There had been seven battles so far and the Pyrmond Faction had won just one of them. This was not something that any of them felt was possible.

The middle-aged man from the Dawson Family looked at the members of the Pyrmond Faction, before looking at those from the Syphilis Faction once again, it was unknown what was going through his mind.

Conor was sitting with Grey, Alec was beside them, his expression was just as sour as that of the Elders. Grey was the only one who didn't have a change of expression.

"How do you guys plan to win now?" Conor asked Alec.

"We will win." Alec said confidently.

"You do know you're the only one who has won, right?" Conor knew Alec had very little confidence at this moment.

"Yes, but we'll win the rest." Alec nodded.

"Even if you win the rest, you'll have only four members, against six of them. The odds are not in your favor." Conor replied.

He was closer with the Pyrmond Faction and naturally wanted them to win, but he couldn't deny the fact that the Syphilis Faction's geniuses were above those from the Pyrmond Faction.

"We still have him, he would be helpful." Alec turned to Grey.

Since Conor thought highly of Grey, then Grey was definitely not a weakling. He should be able to handle two people on his own.

They turned to look at Grey and they realized his facial expression was the same as when they arrived. He didn't seem angry or excited, he just wore a blank face.

"Hey, Grey, why don't you go up next?" Alec suggested.

"Alright." Grey stood up and walked to the platform.

His steps were steady but fast, before long, he was standing on the platform.

A young lady jumped onto the platform with a smirk on her face. She looked at Grey with a demeaning look.

"Give up now, and I'll spare you." She said coldly.

Grey looked into her eyes and turned to look at the middle-aged man from the Dawson Family, waiting for him to start the battle.

While Grey and the young lady were about to face off, the crowd from the Pyrmond Faction had a worried expression.

"Isn't that Lydia?" One of the youths asked.

"It's her. I never thought she would hold back as well." Alec's expression turned even worse when he saw this young lady.

He hadn't seen her all this while, but seeing her now made him realize how bad things were for him. Lydia was a famous young genius in the Region. Everyone thought she had broken through to the Sage Plane some months back, well, this was the news the Syphilis Faction spread out.

"Will your friend be able to cope with her?" Alec turned to look at Conor.

"He will win." Conor replied. He had seen Grey's strength, so he knew for a fact that even though Lydia was powerful, he wouldn't take anything away from Grey.

"So confident. We'll see how things go." Alec turned to the battle that was about to start.

Conor wasn't the only person who felt Grey would win, the Elder who took Grey into the Faction was also very confident in him. He watched Grey fight against ten people on his own, so he was sure Grey wouldn't have any problems with fighting against Lydia on his own.

This Elder knew that as long as Grey progressed to the next round, then they would win. Grey and Alec combining would be a force the Syphilis Faction aren't prepared for.

"Begin!"

Grey's figure moved the moment he heard this, but he wasn't attacking, rather, he was dodging an attack that sprouted out from the ground.

As his figure shot into the air, black tendrils like tentacles chased after him and one managed to get a hold of his leg.

Just as it was dragging him to the ground, Grey made a fire sword that he used to cut the tendril. After cutting that one, the others tried to wrap themselves around him, but he exploded out with a powerful fire outburst that broke all the tendrils.

He looked at Lydia and attacked, using 'meteor descent'.

Lydia created a thin veil made entirely from the darkness element, and used it to block the attack that was coming her way.

The veil surprisingly didn't have any issues with blocking Grey's attacks.

Grey didn't feel bothered by this, he used his lightning element to send out a powerful thunderbolt bolt that struck the veil, causing cracks on it. The second thunderbolt managed to break through the defense of the veil.

Lydia retreated to ensure she wasn't hit by the thunderbolt.

"Four elements, no wonder you're so confident." She said before preparing for another attack.

Grey didn't say anything, instead, he moved his hands quickly and created an array in the sky. The array was made entirely from fire elemental particles, and it started spitting out powerful fireballs, as well as fire arrows and spears.

Grey continued attacking with his lightning element. He hadn't used the space element so far.

The battle continued, Lydia was not able to gain the upper hand, contrary to what most of the people there expected. Things were the other way around, Grey was actually the one dominating the battle since it started.

Grey was just like Lydia, at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, however, Grey was more powerful. This was something none of those from the Syphilis Faction expected.

Lydia was their strongest member at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, the reason they brought her out to fight against Grey was because they've heard about him. During the contest, he was the brightest, so they planned to take him out, making sure Alec was isolated in the final round.
