Supreme Magus my foot! You will die today!\" Z5 erupted into a loud cackle, gripping his stomach in amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrows dove straight into the crater created by Grey’s fall and with no space to dodge or shift, he should have been riddled with countless blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amusement on Z5’s face grew clearer behind the mask as he clutched his abdomen with his remaining hand, chest rising with triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see you get out of this today you acc...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly went still, ears twitching as he strained to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet nothing came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No echo, no rumble, no clash, nothing that suggested his attacks had connected with anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the mountain was colossal, the arrows should have reached something by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Grey had somehow evaded the barrage, they would have struck the mountain’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the silence was complete, almost eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the question left his mouth, the atmosphere shifted. The wind changed direction instantly, brushing against his skin like a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Z5 spun around sharply only to see Grey floating in the open air, blood trickling steadily from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand pressed against his side where blood seeped through his torn robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arm was laced with dozens of cuts and punctures, possibly from the arrows or the crash, but who could say for sure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey,\" Grey said, voice rough and slightly strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You speak a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Z5’s frown deepened, his teeth grinding as fury simmered beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s lips curved into a faint smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because you broke through, what now? You think you can harm me? Kek.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a breathy chuckle before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really don’t know me at all. I beat up a pathetic mage who had the strongest trump card any mage could ever wield. I flattened someone who activated Magus Dominion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how did I do it? By simply breaking through and using four affinities, I made sure he kissed the ground like a worm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey paused, wincing from the pain stabbing his side, but his smirk remained untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you think with just a breakthrough and dual affinities, you can bring me down? Especially with me awakening my fifth special affinity? Ha. You’re amusing honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Z5’s face twitched violently, anger bubbling hotter inside him as his hand clenched tighter, knuckles turning bone white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough is enough,\" he muttered coldly and with that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clamorous bang tore through the air with immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Z5 vanished like a violent storm ripping through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey remained in his spot, gripping his injured side while scanning the area calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Z5 materialised beside him, a massive wind sword slicing through the air at frightening speed, aiming straight for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning, Grey exhaled softly and flicked his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous wind sword manifested and clashed with Z5’s weapon in a brutal explosion of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain beneath them trembled in agony, rocks launching outward from the sheer pressure of the collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey finally turned to face the masked figure with a calm, mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He proceeded to leap a few metres back, his hands leaving his bleeding side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hole could be seen there, but it no longer bled because he used Ki to seal the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the time he stood speaking and watching Z5 rage, he had been trying to close the injury long enough so it stopped spilling blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, two lights began shining around his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping them tightly, he held two lightning swords, one in each hand, as he stared straight at Z5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show me what you are made of before I make you suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Z5 bellowed with raw fury and then deafening bangs filled the air as he darted toward Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was so intense that he appeared to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the distance instantly and appeared before the Supreme Magus, and with that movement, a wind spear jabbed forward with devastating force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey blocked with his lightning sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could strike back, a massive wind blade formed beside Z5 and lunged forth at terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey caught that one with his second sword. A thunderous bang rippled outward as the ground beneath them shuddered with full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that swift exchange, the battle evolved into something far more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo began moving at speeds the naked eye could not track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dashed from one side to another, trading punches and slicing at each other with relentless strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks burst into the air as they blurred through the sky. The mountain under their floating bodies shook violently from their continuous clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical projectiles flew across the sky with raw might. Each attack smashed into another, exploding in bursts of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever one strike landed and sent the other blasting away, the victim would recover instantly and reappear to return a hit of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the rhythm of the battle. Not slow, not simple, but a level of speed so overwhelming that only a few beings could follow its flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered across the ground repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, lightning, shadow and even earth projectiles fired at intervals, colliding with brutal force and shaking the air around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To outsiders, they looked evenly matched, but deep down, Z5 knew the truth. One fighter currently held the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it. He is using all his affinities and I am barely avoiding them. He has not shown the fifth one yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is that last affinity? What am I missing? If he uses it, I doubt I can escape without serious damage. I must find a way to seal his magic again so I can kill him, but he is not giving me any breathing space.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was grinning like a madman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands moved in a flurry of strikes, weaving through Z5’s attacks while unleashing his own devastating blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wind arrow shot toward him, but he blinked away, allowing it to continue its path into the forest where it shattered a massive tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared behind Z5, his sword racing toward the man’s neck at frightening speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the surge of electricity in the air, Z5 spun around quickly and blocked with his wind sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their blades collided, Z5 failed to account for the Ki enhancing Grey’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was hurled backward, blurring through the forest as he crashed into the distance with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: I hope you all are having a blast the same way Grey is with this battle 😁\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway. I just want to say a quick thank you to Fenrirstormspear Sama! He has been a great supporter with power stones, Golden tickets, comments and even ice colas here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been great as he is the only one that motivates me to keep on writing and uploading Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the rest of you reading quietly and silently, I hope to see a comment from you all. Just one, it will actually go a long way and might brighten me.
