Grey looked at those in front of him with a gloomy expression.

They were currently in a forest, and although they weren't really going all out, he was currently in a sorry state.

Klaus had an evil grin on his face as he saw Grey's condition, he laughed, "Weren't you smug earlier?"

"Why don't you take me one on one since you're so powerful?" Grey mocked.

Klaus didn't seem fazed by his words and said shamelessly, "I also want the others to enjoy beating you up as well. If not, I'd have beaten you up alone. Don't worry, after today, I won't beat you up again."

Grey wanted to convince the others but Klaus didn't give him the opportunity to say anything, "Why are you guys staring, do you want him to complete his array?"

"F*ck! Bastard!" Grey cursed.

When talking to them, he was secretly preparing an array, he never thought that Klaus would be the one to sense it.

Although his physique was powerful, he couldn't take a beating for too long. Besides, it was very embarrassing.

"Hehe, what do you think I've been doing in the Faction all this while?" Klaus sneered.

Although he didn't want to admit it, his strength had increased tremendously thanks to all the training he was forced to do.

The battles they fought the last time also helped him improve faster. He wasn't far from the Ninth stage, and there was a feeling he could break through at any moment.

The special training he was doing surprisingly improved his spiritual energy as well. Compared to before, his spiritual energy was stronger than usual. Even a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist might not have a stronger spiritual energy compared to him.

This was why he managed to sense what Grey was doing.

Grey on the other hand couldn't help but curse, Klaus was starting to become frightening.

"Hmph! I'm done playing." He snorted and released his fire element domain.

Although he couldn't use the icy flame domain, his original fire domain was not to be trifled with.

The second he released his domain, Klaus laughed and unleashed his domain as well. A bone-chilling cold spread out in all directions.

Even Void who was staring from the side was shocked.

'Extreme cold. This isn't a normal domain.' He thought to himself.

Grey was so much of a freak that he almost always overshadows his friends, but whenever he's not there, each of his friends are shocking geniuses as well.

When Grey saw Klaus' domain rivaling his domain, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression. This was not the same domain he saw when Klaus used it the last time.

'What sort of training has he been undergoing?' He was shocked.

Personally, Grey had never done such training, all he had done was comprehend the elements, and then figure out some things. But Klaus was being taught by a top powerhouse, and there were some secrets that such powerhouses knew that he didn't.

'I'll need to go through rigorous training when I go back to the Faction.' He concluded internally.

Reynolds also laughed and his domain was unleashed, lightning spread across the entire place, enveloping everyone.

The aura of the Elemental Warrior improved at this time.

"Awesome!" Klaus praised when he saw this.

He didn't expect Reynolds would be able to use the power of the domain to increase the strength of the Elemental Warrior.

"Since everyone has shown their hands, I guess it's time for me to do the same." Alice smiled and a surprising scene occurred.

Fire and ice appeared simultaneously, there was no sense of rejection from both as they quickly integrated with each other, showing a powerful domain. Even during the competition when she was fighting previously, she didn't show this domain.

"You awakened your fire domain first?"

The others looked at her in shock. Alice was a Dual Elementalist, but they all knew that her fire element was inferior to her lightning element. However, the fire element was surprisingly the first domain she managed to awaken. It was unexpected.

Adding the fact that the Seelie was an Ice Elementalist, it was a big contrast. At least the lightning element might've been somewhat acceptable, but fire and water were two polar opposites, yet there was no rejection and they were even integrated together.

The ice domain belonged to the Seelie, while the fire domain belonged to Alice, yet, even though they were not in a combined state, the Seelie was still able to borrow her its power.

"Be careful, we're attacking now." Klaus gave a heads-up and attacked.

Alice and Reynolds also attacked.

With the help of the Elemental Warrior and the Seelie, they managed to not only knock Grey back, but he was at a complete disadvantage.

Presently, Grey even felt that if he used his Fusion State, he wouldn't be able to defeat the trio.

Of course, it would be a different scenario if he was allowed to use his space element. Even if they didn't let him use his other elements, his space element was all he needed to reverse the situation.

Grey quickly used the Fusion State to increase his strength to the Peak of the Sage Plane, but before his friends, it was useless.

Klaus' ice was almost dominating his fire domain. Against the other two domains, he had to depend on his water and earth elements for defense.

After two minutes, he gave up and admitted defeat. He couldn't beat them. Yes, he had a higher attack power, but Klaus' defense was frightening as well. His full attack, even when using the chaos orb powered with four elements, he was unable to break through it.

An Earth Elementalist at the Peak of three Sage Plane might not necessarily be able to replicate what Klaus just did with his ice.

"Turtle." Grey cursed after they stopped fighting.

"What do you mean turtle, if you have the ability, replicate it as well. Besides, you're one to talk. You used both the water and earth element for defense." Klaus refuted.

"I'm being attacked by you three, what did you expect from me?" Grey argued.

"Fight back." Klaus' eyes were filled with mockery.
