Chapter 539 – Huge Difference In Strength

"Alright, no need to worry about Void, he won't see anything that will catch his attention," Sylvia said.

'Hey, Void, since you've already taken this, you are not allowed to want anything else,' Grey said to him.

'But… but… they're shiny,' Void tried to refute.

'Are they yours?' Grey asked.

'No,' Void answered, albeit weakly.

'Fine, I have my eyes on you, if so much as one thing goes missing, you're toast,' Grey threatened.

'Fine, hmph! Lord cat doesn't need their shiny things,' Void said angrily.

Grey felt a little relaxed after hearing this, he couldn't deny it, Void's love for shiny things was getting a little out of hand. Although he didn't stop him most of the time, it didn't mean he'll allow him to steal from everyone they encountered.

He assured Lucan that Void wouldn't take anything, before they continued their journey. After going through the first hall in the mansion, they passed through a door that led to the other side of the mansion, a large space was located there.

"This is where we'll be fighting," Lucan said.

Grey nodded, before preparing himself.

"A word of advice, do not assume that this guy is in the same league as those people you've been fighting with all this while. Although he isn't on the same level as those in the Middle Continent or the top regions in the Eastern Continent, he's not too far from it," Sylvia advised Grey while he was preparing.

"Yeah, I can feel the difference in strength, if I do not push myself to the extreme, heh, there's no way I can win this," Grey replied.

"Good," Sylvia nodded.

This was all that she wanted to see from Grey. Others would feel like since their journey so far has gone without a hitch, then they could defeat anyone. But knowing one's weakness means one can work on it to grow stronger.

"Are you ready?" Lucan asked while walking into the platform that was located in the empty space.

Grey nodded, walking towards the platform as well. This was going to be one of his toughest challenges so far, and he wanted to see how powerful the geniuses who were ranked at the top are.

After the duo stepped on the platform, they gave their greetings, before exploding out with powerful attacks.

Lucan was rumored to be a Dual Elementalist, having both the fire and earth element. This is something common in a forgemasters family like this one.

Boom!

A fire snake was sent towards Grey, blasting into the fireball he sent towards Lucan.

Bang!

Both attacks collided, causing an explosion. Lucan's attack was able to quickly overpower Grey's, shooting towards him.

Grey didn't panic, setting up an ice wall in front of him that the fire snake slammed into.

Bam! Crack!

Even with the fire snake weakened from Grey's first attack, it still almost destroyed the ice wall, causing cracks to appear all around it.

Bang! Boom!

Before Grey could reinforce the ice wall, something strong slammed into the, breaking it to pieces. After breaking the ice wall, the item didn't stop there, going straight for Grey who was only around two meters away from where the ice wall was located.

Grey did a backflip, dodging the attack. When he looked at the object properly, it was a one-meter hammer made from the earth element.

The hammer didn't stop its attack, continuing to chase after Grey as it tried to strike him down.

Grey was fast, making it impossible for it to touch him, but the problem was, he couldn't stay still to attack. He would occasionally send out an attack, but they were easily blocked by Lucan since they weren't that powerful.

Boom! Bang!

Whenever Grey was about to escape from the attacks of the hammer, Lucan would attack with the fire element, forcing Grey back to the hammer that was chasing him.

'Hmm, I can't go on like this,' Grey thought before using the space element to escape from the range of the hammer or Lucan's fire attack.

As soon as he freed himself.

"Meteor Descent," He appeared mid-air with both hands spread apart.

This was the first time he was getting the chance to deal a proper attack since the battle started, and he wanted to make good use of it.

Lucan already heard of Grey's space element since he had heard of stories from his previous battles, this was one of the reasons he didn't want to give Grey any chances.

An earth wall sprang out from the ground, blocking the attacks that were coming his way.

Bang! Bam! Boom!

The attacks continued raging on, but Lucan's defense stayed strong.

Grey, seeing this, didn't feel down. He stretched out his right hand, and a bolt of lightning started forming on top of it.

The concentration of the lightning power was far more powerful than any other one he had done before.

Buzz! Swoosh!

While the fireballs were still raining down, a single bolt of lightning shot straight at the earth wall that was protecting Lucan.

Bam! Crack! Bang!

The lightning bolt opened a hole right through the spot where it hit the wall, going straight for Lucan who was behind it.

Lucan reacted quickly, using the fire element to block it, but he was pushed back from the aftereffect of the resulting explosion.

The earth wall above him started to fall apart after having its defenses breached by the lightning bolt.

Lucan scrambled to dodge the attacks that were raining down on him. He would dodge some while blocking most of them.

The attack soon died down, and Grey's figure shot towards Lucan from the sky. He couldn't afford to give him the chance to start attacking again.

Swoosh! Bang!

Lucan was already prepared for something like this, attacking Grey from the side.

Grey managed to block the attack but was sent flying from the force.

Bang! Boom! Crash!

They continued exchanging moves, with Grey trying to get close to Lucan, and Lucan being able to not only keep him at bay but also land some powerful blows on him.

From the short time the battle had been going on, it was easy to see that Lucan was well above the other geniuses in the Overlord Plane that Grey had fought against.
