Those who had been taken to the clinic for treatnt were also watching the battle unfold, thanks to a communication mage's spell.
The mage had conjured floating holographic displays in mid-air, each projection broadcasting the intense fight taking place in the coliseum.
Mouths hung open in astonishnt. Greg and Scarlet stared at the display, completely floored by Grey's dominance.
"Just when I think he can't surprise
anymore, he does sothing that makes my jaw hit the ground," Greg muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched the storm of destruction Grey had unleashed.
Scarlet crossed her arms and let out a sigh, shaking her head slowly. "I can't say this enough—I've given up trying to catch up to him. I'll just grow stronger at my own pace. Grey's not even human anymore… he's a full-blown monster."
Greg gave a dry chuckle. "There was a ti I considered him my rival... but now? Now, he's more like a master I'll never reach."
"Oh? A master, huh?" Scarlet teased, nudging him with her elbow and smirking. "Wait till he hears you said that."
"If you tell him, I swear I'll fry you." Greg raised his fingers, sparks of lightning crackling around them.
Scarlet playfully flicked her finger, a small burst of fla dancing above it. "Looks like you're back to full strength. So am I. Co on, let's head to the arena."
"But what about Vince?" Greg asked, casting a concerned glance at their unconscious friend. Vince lay on a stretcher, his injuries healed but still out cold.
Scarlet sighed. "You're right. He's still not up yet. We'll wait. Once he wakes, we go together."
"Fine by ," Greg said, waving his hand dismissively. "Just let
watch this insanity in peace."

Back at the arena, the battle had reached its climax. Grey had just annihilated fifty towering tal golems. In response, Dave, now bloodied and desperate, summoned them again—this ti summoning twice as many.
Grey cracked his neck, then smirked. "Thank you," he said, stepping back, his eyes scanning the massive army of golems and hovering tal swords.
"I've been working on a new fusion magic spell and had no idea what to test it on. Looks like you've volunteered. Sadly, it'll be the last thing you ever face."
A chilling wind swept through the coliseum, the temperature dropping sharply. Sparks flickered around Grey as if the air itself bristled with tension.
"Fusion Magic: Crimson Judgent!"
Instantly, a hundred fire-forged spears materialized in a halo around him, each one surrounded by a crackling ring of lightning. The spears hovered like wrathful spirits, tips gleaming with deadly precision.
"Obliterate," Grey whispered, waving his hand.
The spears shot forward like guided missiles. The golems thundered toward him, their hamrs swinging forward in unison to deflect the oncoming assault. But the spears suddenly accelerated, piercing through the hamrs with ease and striking ho.
BOOM!
A shockwave erupted, followed by a second wave that shook the coliseum walls. Flas engulfed the struck golems, and in re monts, they disintegrated—nothing left but molten puddles of tal.
Grey exhaled softly. "Hmph."
Yet more golems charged. A swarm of a hundred tal swords followed, all streaking toward Grey at terrifying speed.
Grey grinned.
"Good, but could be better. Anyway," Grey shrugged as he looked at one golem that swung its hamr towards his face but Grey had already leapt back just in ti to avoid the hamr that slamd into the ground causing another shockwave to erupt out.
"Wind Magic: Wind Swords!"
Two hundred blades of condensed wind rained down from above, ripping through the tallic giants with pinpoint precision.
To deal with the incoming swords, Grey raised a hand. A massive earth pillar surged from the ground, curling into a protective do around him just in ti to absorb the full impact of the tal barrage.
The do shook violently but held.
"Can't you even give
more struggle?" Grey said, the do rebounding outward like a fist and smashing several golems away from him. "Even a level 8 beast would put up more of a fight."
He snapped his fingers.
Hundreds of lightning arrows descended from the sky, raining death upon the last batch of golems. Each arrow struck with surgical accuracy, vaporizing them before they could move.
"I…I won't give up! I…I will make sure I kill and erase you from the surface of this world and co…" Dave scread, eyes bloodshot but he slowly trailed off and that was because…
BANG!
Grey appeared right in front of him.
Earth magic surged across Grey's arm, forming a gauntlet. A wild glee lit up his eyes.
"Rest."
The punch that followed shattered the sound barrier. Dave's head snapped back as blood, spit, and a broken tooth flew from his mouth. His body was sent rocketing backward.
CRASH!
The domain Dave had created cracked, then shattered like fragile glass. His body smashed into the arena's outer wall, crumbling to the ground in a heap.
Grey approached, each step echoing like a war drum.
"From now on," Grey growled, earth magic coating his leg as he raised it, "whenever you see
or hear my na, you'll tremble. Don't even think about looking
in the eye."
But before he could strike—
Crackle!
A strange energy surged.
"What's going on?!"
"Look behind him!"
The crowd erupted in panic. Which drew his attention as Grey paused, his brow furrowed. He turned around to see a dozen portal opening up in the arena with one directly behind him then…
With a portal
torn open directly behind him.
"Oh, sh—"
WHACK!
Sothing massive struck him from behind, sending his body hurtling through the air. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he slamd against the arena wall with bone-crunching force.
"ARGH! It's a beast!"
"It's a portal break!"
