Chapter 964 Brutal Battle

Grey had to admit it, Bill was stronger than he anticipated. If he were to fight against Bill without using the full power of the Fusion State, he would stand zero chances of winning. He had a few things that could help him survive his first attack, but winning was out of the picture. The only way he could win was if he was also at the Peak of the Sage Plane.

'Maybe he only has explosive power.' Void commented on the side.

Grey thought about it and nodded. This might be the case. There are some people with terrifying explosive force, once they explode out, their attack power would be frightening, however, in the long run, they were not that powerful.

Nevertheless, he didn't dare to underestimate Bill at the moment. No matter what, he would have to go all-out from the start if he were to fight against such an opponent.

The faces of those from the Burchard Family turned dark, only the leader of the group still had a blank face.

On the side of the Nether Faction, there were smiles all around. The person killed was from the Burchard Family, not an external member, so those youths from the Burchard Family were angered by this, and this boosted the morale of those from the Nether Faction.

Bill left the platform and walked back to his seat. It was soon the turn of the Burchard Family. Scott, the leader of the youths stepped forward and glanced coldly at those from the Nether Faction.

His eyes rested on the body of a young man in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane. The young man shivered slightly, but Bill tapped him on the shoulder as if to tell him he would be fine.

"Resist the first attacks and you can admit defeat."

This was his order, he knew he stood no chance against an infuriated Scott, but he had to step on the platform first, and only after the battle had started could he give up.

The battle started and Scott immediately went on the offensive. The young man was already prepared for this and had already taken his defensive pose, preparing everything he could to survive the first series of attacks from Scott.

'

Boom! Bang! Bam!

Scott's first attack destroyed his entire defense, before he could prepare for the next set of attacks, it had already gotten to him. Striking him cleanly, he was cut into two by the shocking fire blade.

The glow in his eyes faded off and he died instantly.

Another instant-kill.

The first two battles showed the stance of both sides, kill from my side, and I'll kill from your side.

Grey took a glance at Scott, before taking in a deep breath.

'It seems like those I've been encountering are not the true geniuses of this Continent.'

Scott's display of strength was even more domineering than that of Bill. Bill killed an Eighth stage Sage Plane Elementalist, while Scott directly killed someone in the Ninth stage.

Grey couldn't help but wonder who would be victorious if the duo fought against each other. They were both top fighters at the Peak and there might be a chance that they were not equal in terms of strength.

Scott walked back to his seat, even though he had killed someone from the other side, he didn't feel good. One of his relatives was dead, and if things continued in this manner, more would follow suit. What was worse was that compared to them, the Nether Faction had two more Peak Sage Plane Elementalists, which meant having two extra chances of killing their opponents.

Of course, not everyone was as strong as he and Bill. But the chances of them killing those in the Seventh stage were not low.

His eyes trailed to the handsome youth sitting on the side who had a comparably calm demeanor even after witnessing how brutal the battle was. Of everyone here, he should be the weakest, yet, he was the calmest, there didn't seem to be any ripple in his eyes.

',

He had studied Grey from Bill's first attack, and he noticed his blank expression hadn't changed.

'Could his face be deformed or something?' He thought to himself.

Even the Elders have had a change in expression, but Grey's face has been the same from the first time he saw him.

One person from the Nether Faction stepped forward and challenged someone in the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane. Their plan was simple: kill them before they could give up.

The result of this battle was just like the rest, it ended with the weaker person dying even before they could admit defeat.

The battle continued in this order and before long, all the Peak Sage Plane Elementalists from the Burchard Family had fought a battle, and they had killed their opponents. The same could be said for the Nether Faction, the only difference was that they had two more people at the Peak.

So they could challenge two more times.

They both stepped out and only one of them managed to kill his opponent, the other was unsuccessful.

In this battle, there had been nine deaths, five from the Burchard Family side and four from the Nether Faction. However, of the Burchard Family's original twenty participants, six had been eliminated, leaving only fourteen, while the other side had two more people.

With those at the Peak done, it was time for those in the Ninth stage to step onto the platform and challenge an opponent. Originally, the Nether Faction had seven people in the Ninth stage, but now they had one less. The Burchard Family had only five people in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane, so once again, they were on the weaker side in terms of numbers.

The first person who stepped on stage was none other than the young man who attacked Grey the last time.

When he stood on the platform, his eyes stopped on Grey's body for a while before letting out a smirk.

"Come out."
