Watching as Roy was fighting against Joe's and Mila's attacks like they were nothing more than a re joke, Greg instantly started to think.
"A guy, who can control thousands of weapons with only his will and a guy who gets stronger as the fight goes on. One has a rank of a Creator, while the other is only half step away from it. No matter how I look at it, we are the ones with the disadvantage."
As he thought about all of these, Gerald before him finally stood up and looked at Greg with an expressionless face.
"It seems I totally underestimated you."
*Ptooey!*
Gerald spat out a small amount of blood to the ground and continued,"But from now on, I won't make the sa mistake twice."
The mont he said that, suddenly Gerald's body started to turn fully tallic, while the dim grey light around his body started to solidify slowly.
"What the..."
Not just Greg, but everyone else in the Arena watched this sight with wide opened mouth.
"This presence... Don't tell ...Is he going to rank up?! During a fight?!"
After realizing what was happening before him, Greg instantly decided.
"I need to stop him, now!"
Without hesitation, small vortexes appeared all around his body, making his body feel insanely light, however the mont he wanted to move, suddenly the back of his neck turned numb.
Feeling the numbness, he looked up to the sky and watched as tons of short swords started to fly at him with a rapid pace.
Seeing this, his expression suddenly stiffened and said a bit angrily,"Okay... What's enough is enough."
The mont he said this, a black staff with strange golden carvings on it ford in his right hand.
Looking at the incoming weapons, Greg bent his knees a bit and with a strong motion he swung the staff toward the sky.
While he did that, the golden carvings on the staff's surface suddenly lit up and in an instant, a huge wind blade with a lenght of a few ters appeared out of nowhere, which made the weapons in the sky to fall down all around him.
*Pang*
*Pang*
*Pang*
Watching as the wind blade made all of those swords to miss their target that easily, suprised Greg.
Looking down at the staff in his hand, he smiled and thought,"So this is the so call Ho of Attributes ability. It's an interesting ability, that's for sure."
His plan in the beggining was to defend against the weapons by physically hitting them to the side. However the mont he swung the staff toward the weapons, he felt that so kind of strange ability activated on it's own, while making his currently used ability to flow into the carvings in the staff.
Suddenly a huge wind blade started to get created, just like when he used his fairy's ability.
"Wait... Really... Why didn't I used my pet?", thought Greg suddenly and summoned the fairy before him.
And just like that, the long ti not seen little fairy appeared before him, while she looked at her surroundings with great curiosity.
Watching the little fairy looking around like that, Greg hit his head lightly and thought,"Why did I forgot her? Was I too used to that she was all the ti around on her own, that I... Well, you know what. At least she is here now."
Looking at the fairy before he pointed at Roy on the side and started to talk.
"Can you please go and help to my friends?"
Hearing his owner's question, the fairy stopped looking around and with a nod, she started to fly toward where Joe was fighting.
Up in the estrade, all the experts looked confused by his act.
"Why is he sending a Soul Pet into a fight? Does he hate that little fairy that much?", asked a muscular guy with a long mustache confusedly.
The other experts couldn't answer to his question, because the next mont all of their eyes widened in suprise.
When the pet was close to Roy, it raised it's small hand, while a similar looking wind blade to Greg started to form on his palm and less then a few seconds later, the blade reached a length of five ters
Feeling that the attack was ready, the fairy looked at Roy and with a fast move, she threw the blade at him.
Roy seeing as a huge wind blade ca at his way with a fast speed, jumped to the side and let the attack to pass him by.
*BAM!*
A shortly after his dodge, the blade hit the shield in the distance, while leaving a small scratch mark on the stage's surface.
Roy watched this happening and looked at the fairy not far away from him.
"So that's the pet Eric has talked about.", said Roy with squinted eyes, but the next second he needed to jump to the side, because a fireball and a thunderbolt suddenly ca at him from the side.
Greg seeing as his fairy was a help for his friends, sighed up with relief and turned his gaze back at Gerald.
Watching as his skin turned more and more tallic and the light on his body started to dissapear slowly, Greg knew that he didn't have much ti left.
"Let's go.", said Greg and like rocket, he exploded out toward Gerald.
However as he ran, all kinds of weapons started to fell toward him, in the hope to stop him.
Short words, long swords, daggers, spears, chains, hamrs, knifes, scissors and other kinds of strange looking objects started to fly toward him with rapid pace.
Using Shapless in his hand, Greg swung it here and there without rest, while he hit the incoming weapons with the wind blades he created by the staff's help.
*Clang!*
*Pang!*
*Clang!*
Watching as a boy fought his way through hundreds of cold weapons without sustaining a single injury, made all the spectator's blood in the Arena to boil in an instant.
Jonathan and Laura among the spectators, watched this happening and was a bit suprised by Greg.
"He not only can move between those attacks with that speed, but he also has that strange looking staff. What is that to begin with?", asked Laura as she tried to figure out the origin of that weapon in Greg's hand.
"I don't know either, but it's definitely the one he chose by the Crystal card. Because he didn't use that staff before against Juan and also his reaction, when he created that wind blade tells it's definitely his first ti using it during a fight."
Hearing her brother's explanation, Lauro nodded and continued to watch the fight below.
It was the sa for Juan and the twins. After seeing the fight, they also knew that the staff in Greg's hand must be the 4th ranked Soul Creature.
"Nice, it can create wind blades, but that's all. He threw his opportunity to learn from the best just for a simple staff."
Hearing Sandra's angry voice, Juan on the side shook his head and said,"I don't think so. Greg isn't a type of guy, who would choose sothing as simple as that. There should be sothing more behind it..."
While Juan was thinking, Greg has finally arrived before Gerald and raised his free hand high up into the air, ready to hit Gerald in the face. But just as he was about start his punch, Gerald's eyes shot open.
*Swish!*
With a speed, much faster than before, Gerald suddenly punched toward Greg's chest with his tallic fist.
Seeing the incoming danger, Greg knew that he had no hope to react in ti, so instead he speeded up in an instant the vortexes rotation around his body and made them rotate toward the sa direction.
As if soone had put a string on his back and suddenly pulled it, his body started fly backwards at a crazy speed, dodging Gerald's fist with only a margin.
*Crack!*
The mont after Gerald finished the punch, the stage below his feet instantly cracked, while strange tallic sounds sounded from his body.
Seeing this, Greg instantly knew that he was late and Gerald has successfully ranked up to the Creator rank.
"Now we are in deep trouble.", said Mila and Greg in unison after seeing the sudden changes before them.
However, strangly the one who didn't look fazed at all on the platform, was Joe. He looked at Roy and Gerald with a calm expression, while small lightning particles started to form around his body slowly.
The experts above on the estrade, all looked at the Gerald with great curiosity, while almost all of them thought about the sa thing, however none of them wanted to say it out.
But not everyone was shy to talk out their opinion and this applied to the skinny guy too. He sighed up and said with dissapointed look on his face,"They are done. Ah~ man! I hoped that I could see sothing really good this ti!"
Hearing this, the old man next to him just smiled and said,"I don't think it's decided yet."
The skinny guy looked at the old man with a funny look, when suddenly pitch black clouds with thick thunderbolts started to form slowly above the whole Arena, making everyone around look up to the sky with a confused look.
