Grey vanished from where the attacks were about to land, in his place was the unprepared Lightning Elementalist.

Boom!

"Ah!"

An explosion rang out, followed by a scream which didn't last up to two seconds before dying down.

"Ronald!"

The Wind Elementalist amongst the two ladies screamed in horror.

The captain of the group and the Fire Elementalist had their mouths and eyes wide open after witnessing what just happened. He could at least come up with an explanation when Grey attacked him, but in this scenario, he didn't know what to think.

He turned around, and Grey was leisurely standing in the position the Lightning Elementalist was standing with a smug smile on his face.

"How is that possible? How can you switch places with a person without the person actually moving on his own free will?" The captain asked Grey.

Now, he was scared of even trying to attack Grey. After what Grey just displayed, anyone in their right minds would think twice before daring to attack him.

"Just a simple trick. Don't tell me you're scared of fighting now, I was just getting started," Grey said while playing with a small fireball he summoned in his palm.

The captain looked at Grey's smiling face and couldn't help but unconsciously take a step back. People always tend to be afraid of the unknown, and this is exactly what is happening to the captain right now.

With this trick of Grey, they can't attack him as a group anymore since if he were to switch places with any of them, it would be an utter nightmare, just like what happened with the LIghtning Elementalist.

The explosion soon died down, and the lifeless body of the Lightning Elementalist was laid bare for all to see. What was worth mentioning was how the body was stuck on an earth spike that sprang out from the group, holding the body mid-air.

The two ladies looked at the body in horror, before turning to look at Grey. Now, they all regretted the decision of coming in here, had they known, they would've left after two from their group died when they first entered this place. Provoking someone like Grey made their decision even worse.

Swoosh! Boom!

The Fire and Wind Elementalist attacked simultaneously, but Grey dodged the attack easily with the space element. Since he had already started using it, why go through the stress of blocking attacks anymore?

Although using the space element was a bit stressful, he wouldn't have a problem with dealing with these guys until he runs out of the space element essence in his reserve.

"Don't attack him carelessly!" The captain said to the duo.

Since it has already gotten to this stage, he knew Grey wouldn't let them go, so he had to think of a way that they would be able to defeat him. The problem was, with Grey's supposedly insane speed that makes him literally disappear, how will they be able to attack him?

Then, there's also the problem with that switching thing he did not too long ago.

Multiple thoughts were flying through the captain's head as he watched Grey preparing to attack them.

Just as Grey sent out his attack, the attack disappeared, then suddenly appearing within one meter of the Wind Elementalist.

Boom!

She managed to set up a windscreen just as the attack was about to get to her, but the impact of the blast still sent her flying.

The Fire Elementalist looked at the captain in terror, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

When Grey sent out the attack previously, he was standing in their front, but after the attack disappeared, it suddenly appeared on the left side of the Wind Elementalist. If not for her years of battle awareness, then she would've died from that single attack. Even though she managed to block it, it was evident that she wasn't unscathed from that attack.

"Group up!" The captain charged in the direction the WInd Elementalist was going to land, using his water element to cushion her crashing.

The Fire Elementalist ran after him. On getting there, she saw the Wind Elementalist was bleeding from the mouth, and given how she was clutching her stomach, there might be a chance that she had some broken ribs.

What she found appalling was that Grey's attack didn't even hit her, she was only affected by the impact.

'What would've been the outcome if his attack had hit her?' She asked, dumbstruck.

"Can you still fight?" The captain asked while supporting the Wind Elementalist.

The Wind Elementalist nodded, albeit with some difficulty.

"Good, backs against each other," The captain said to the ladies.

This was the only thing he could think of doing for now. If they were to spread out, then Grey would be able to kill them all one-by-one, but putting their backs together would give them a better chance at defending those strange attacks of his.

When thinking up Grey's strange attacks, his pupils suddenly dilated when he recalled something.

"Move!"

The captain said, but before he finished his statement, he realized his view had changed. Instead of seeing only Grey, he was seeing him standing alongside the two ladies. His heart fell when he saw this scene.

Boom!

Grey exploded out with his blue fire against the unsuspecting ladies, sending both of them flying with severe injuries.

The duo could be said to be lucky since they didn't die on the spot, but the Wind Elementalist shouldn't be too far from death given her previous injury.

'How? How can this be countered?' The captain asked in dismay.

"Time to quit playing," Grey said while moving towards the ladies who were already unable to move after they crashed to the ground.

The captain couldn't do anything other than to watch as Grey snuffed the life out of his companions.

A few minutes later, Grey was the only one left standing in the valley.

"Space Elementalists have always been a thorn to deal with. I never expected to see one as well versed in the space element as you are in such a place,"

A voice said, drawing the attention of Grey who was still standing in front of the corpse of the captain.
