"So there's a chance he can win?" Luthera asked, slightly hopeful.

"He will win, it's not a matter of probability." Klaus said with confidence.

Luthera heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Grey who was standing on the edge of the platform, breathing heavily.

Grey looked at Tyris who was looking at him from the middle of the platform. Tyris hadn't given him any chance to attack properly, even with his insane battle experience and techniques, he was completely overwhelmed by Tyris' strength.

'Looks like I have no other option.' He thought to himself.

After coming to the conclusion, he took a deep breath to stabilize himself before his aura started to increase before everyone's eyes.

It shot past the Third stage to the Fourth, Fifth, and finally halted in the Sixth stage.

Grey originally wanted to take it to the Peak of the Sage Plane, but after giving it some thought, he decided against it. Doing so would show these people his greatest trump card. In the Sixth stage, he was confident in his abilities to defeat Tyris.

When Tyris sensed Grey's aura increasing, his expression changed and he couldn't help but look at the Elder in charge of the battle. He knew for a fact that if Grey was only a single stage below him, his chances of winning would reduce by a lot, and Grey might just be the favorite to win.

Grey attacked with renewed vigor. All his wounds from the battering he took from Tyris were healed up.

He unleashed a fireball, mixed with the lightning element at Tyris.

Tyris set up a defensive wall to block the attack, but to his surprise, after one hit, the wall crumbled to the ground.

He took some steps back from the impact and took a quick look at Grey, clearly shocked by the strength of his attack.

However, his vision blurred as a figure rushed up to him and attacked.

Grey threw his fist which was covered in flames at Tyris' chest. The earth armor Tyris had on protected him from the attack, but he felt his innards shake from the impact of the punch and was sent flying back.

From the spot where Grey punched, the armor started to fall piece by piece.

The Head of the Robertson Family stood up when he saw this and looked in the direction of the Elder in charge of the battle, "Use of special techniques to boost strength is prohibited from these battles. For that, he should be disqualified."

"Actually, it isn't." The Elder from the Braun Family presiding over the battle stepped forward.

"Your son placed the rules, and he agreed to this as well." The Elder explained, glancing at Gregory.

Sensing everyone's gaze on him, Gregory wished the ground should open up and swallow him. When Grey asked him at the start, he agreed to it offhandedly since he didn't feel Grey would come this far, even with increased strength.

They could all see that Grey took the advantage in the battle from his very first move after increasing his strength, this was something that could've been avoided if he wasn't allowed to boost his strength.

The Head of the Robertson Family turned to look at Gregory, disappointment, evident in his eyes.

While all these were going on, Grey didn't bother to stop the battle. His figure flashed through the platform as he attacked with his lightning element.

Tyris focused on defending, whenever one of his defenses was broken down, he would set up another one.

Two inscriptions appeared in the sky and started to attack Tyris, alongside Grey.

Boom!

One of the attacks finally landed on Tyris and sent him flying, he crashed on the platform, bouncing off a couple of times before finally coming to a stop.

Grey moved closer to finish off the battle, but when he placed his leg on the ground around two meters away from Tyris, a large earth spike sprang up from the ground, forcing him back.

Before he could regain himself, Tyris was already on his feet, prepared for Grey's next onslaught of attacks.

Grey vanished, and when he appeared on Tyris' left, he attacked. After attacking, he vanished once again, appearing in front of him and attacking.

His transition was so smooth and fast that before the first attack hit, the next one was already on its way.

Tyris blocked the attacks but was pushed back.

While staggering back, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Without waiting, he jumped to the left and an attack shot out from the ground.

Grey used the earth element to create a hammer that he tried to use to slam Tyris to the ground while he was mid-air.

Tyris was fast and covered himself with an earth dome. This not only protected him, but it also gave him a little time to adjust his head.

The hammer hit the dome, sending it to the ground.

Grey moved close and used the fire element to try to burn away the earth protecting Tyris.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unsuccessful. A lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the dome, but it still didn't budge, to the annoyance of Grey.

When he was about to attack again, he noticed a spear made from the earth element coming his way.

The distance between himself and the dome.

Just when the spear was about to hit him, it suddenly passed through. It was just like when he was attacked the previous time, he phased through the attack effortlessly.

After going through the attack, he created a small lightning and fire orb and sent it at Tyris who was still covered with the earth dome.

The attack crashed into the earth dome, causing a large explosion in the process. From the moment Grey increased his strength till now, he had overpowered Tyris.

One has to know that he was still a stage below Tyris, yet he was beating him up with such ease.
