"Grey!" Vince shouted, not seeing him erge from where he had been sent when—
"You guys need to stop screaming my na like I'm dead or sothing. I'm not as weak as all of you," a voice said, and Grey appeared, limping slightly with a determined expression as he erged from the wall. The ant looked stunned.
"Why won't you just die?" the ant asked as a blade of water ford in its claws. "None of these pests gave
much trouble, so why are you?"
"Probably because I'm a known troublemaker," Grey chuckled just as the beast dashed at him in anger. "Big mistake," he added, then moved so fast the beast missed him entirely.
"Wind Magic—Sky Cutter!" Grey shouted. A massive horizontal wind slash surged out in a flash, cutting toward the beast. It tried to evade, but the slash skimd its crimson armor, tearing into it.
"You are dangerous," the beast growled, appearing right in front of Grey and thrusting its claws, swirling with water, into Grey's stomach, sending him flying and bouncing across the cavern floor. Blood spurted from Grey's mouth.
"And you keep playing with fire, but I'll make sure it burns you."
"And fire is my specialty," Grey said as two huge fireballs exploded forward, slamming into the beast and sending it skidding.
From behind, an earth spike shot up and crashed into its back, but the creature's tough armor shattered it.
Still, Grey didn't give chase. He stood up, blood dripping from his body, and raised his hands. "I haven't tried this before, but you'll have to be my guinea rat!"
"Lightning Creation Magic—Holy Lightning Arrows!" he shouted, and a dozen arrows ford in the air before him, their tips aid at the beast, who now took a defensive stance.
"He… he keeps proving he's on another level," Selene murmured.
"With this kind of strength, he could easily make it to second year," Charlotte added.
"Is that really your concern? Just look at him. Now imagine if he used Breakthrough—a mode that amplifies magic, speed, and strength," Dante chid in.
"Are you forgetting what third-years are taught? If he learns that too... I hate to admit it, but he'd beco the strongest this academy's ever seen. He might even defeat the vice-captain," Lyra said, and the second-years shuddered at the thought.
"Just because you've got so fancy lightning arrows doesn't an you'll win! And when I eat you, I'll use your powers to kill those pests you call friends!" the beast roared, exploding forward in a blur. But Grey remained calm, eyes closed, the dozen arrows still floating in front of him.
"Why is he closing his eyes?!" Lyra exclaid, chewing her nails anxiously.
"Trust him," Vince said. "He always does this when he's trying to track sothing—or soone."
"How is standing like a statue supposed to track anything?" Dante asked.
"Just watch," Raze replied.
The beast appeared from the side, having circled around, ready to strike with its water blade.
"Gotcha!" Grey snapped, turning swiftly. The arrows imdiately shifted to his front, their bright lightning illuminating the beast's shocked expression—then surged forward with a thunderous blast.
The impact sent the beast crashing into the wall, its body convulsing violently as a shockwave rocked the cavern.
Its armor cracked wider, on the brink of shattering. Black blood oozed from its body as it coughed out a mouthful.
"I've got to hand it to the elves—especially Licht—for teaching
mana sense," Grey said calmly, walking forward as the beast struggled to rise.
"I'm not done with you!" the beast scread, slamming its claws into the ground and sending a wave of water toward Grey's feet. But he calmly stepped forward, fire encasing his feet.
The intensity of the flas evaporated the water beneath him, and he walked across with a smirk as the beast rose, lifting its claws to unleash Kael's power—
"Not again!" Grey shouted, his lightning armor activating with a bang.
He shot forward at such speed it looked like he teleported, appearing in front of the beast with a wind blade in one hand and an earth sword in the other.
He swung both blades so fast the spectators couldn't keep up.
Monts later, Grey skidded behind the beast—and the creature looked down to see its severed hands, claws and all, lying on the ground. Right on cue, black blood spurted from its stumps.
"How… how is this possible?" the ant beast gasped as Grey's footsteps approached. It turned to face him.
"I told you—I was always a step ahead. I'm not a fool. I already fought your kind a few minutes ago, so I know your weaknesses. That's why I kept bombarding you with spells and magic.
Thanks to the others, they unknowingly helped weaken you. The barrage of spells from
and my friends damaged your armor, drained your durability, and reduced your magic power—making it easier for
to cut through," Grey said with a smirk as everyone stared in shock.
'He… he knew what he was doing all along?' Greg scread internally.
"So he purposely kept taking hits just to exploit the beast's weakness?!" Selene exclaid.
"This peasant… he keeps proving how dangerous he is," Dante muttered, clenching his fists.
"Handso, powerful, and intelligent. Totally my type," Lyra smiled.
"This… this can't be happening!" the beast scread. "How did I lose?! I'm the king of ants! How?!"
"You lost the mont you faced —the Supre Mage," Grey declared as a tornado began to swirl before him, lightning crackling inside it.
"Fusion Magic!" he called out. The beast remained frozen in disbelief.
"One more thing. Rember this na, even in your grave. Rember that you were defeated by the King of Mages—the Supre Magus… Raijin Spiral!"
Grey unleashed the devastating tornado. It tore through the beast, the ground, the wall, and even the back of the cavern itself.
