The remaining three lava n soon ca running back while Grey was poking fun at Klaus.
"Since when did you turn into a bully?" Klaus asked.
"I've always been a bully." Grey replied with a laugh.
Klaus sighed and said, "You guys deal with them, I'll be in charge of stopping all their attacks."
He had the strongest defense among them and could easily protect the others. The others all had destructive elents and could deal a good amount of damage to the three lava n.
"I'll protect myself, I can't trust you with my life. You might just allow them to strike ." Grey said.
Klaus chuckled but didn't say anything. He actually had the thought of letting them hit Grey one or two tis. With Grey's strong physical body, he knew he wouldn't die from the attack. At most he would just feel so pain. Unfortunately, Grey knew his intentions and didn't want his help. Since he had the earth elent too, he could defend the attacks.
"A sha."
The three lava n started their combined attacks once again. But with all four friends working together. It was too easy for them to deal with the lava n.
Klaus, just like the plan, was in charge of defending all attacks coming their way. He blocked each of the lava n's attacks before they could even move three feet from them.
Alice and Reynolds attacked, Grey acted like a support too. Only attacking occasionally.
Before long, all three lava n were dealt with.
Grey didn't get too involved in the battle. Alice and Reynolds were the only attackers, but they managed to kill them off within three minutes.
Klaus blocked all the attacks, which made things easier for Alice and Reynolds.
"Well that was easy." Grey comnted from the side.
"You always watch from the side, useless." Klaus said.
"I'm the group's cheerleader. You guys need to cheer you on." Grey replied shalessly.
"At tis, I tend to forget how shaless you are." Klaus gave up.
Grey always shows this serious and nonchalant look that even his friends tend to forget he was occasionally playful and shaless, just like Klaus.
"Should we move on to the next round?"
"It's going to be harder than this one."
"The harder the better. I need a real challenge."
"Yeah, too. These levels have been too easy."
"Weren't you being beaten up a few minutes ago by those lava n?"
"Fuck! I was ganged up on! Can you fight four of them on your own?"
"Of course, didn't you see how easy it was for to handle three of them?"
"I could've handled them too if I had the space elent you pig!"
"Who are you calling a pig?"
"You. What can you do about it? Pig!"
Grey and Klaus started their cussing session with Reynolds not joining the party this ti. Klaus has always had the advantage whenever it cos to this, and since Grey is too strong now, he also has his own advantages. It was best for him to stay on the side and watch the duo.
….
While Klaus and Grey were having a battle of words, the middle-aged man and Elder were stumped.
"Did you see what he did?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask, pointing at Grey.
The Elders nodded. When they saw Alice and Reynolds attacking Grey all of a sudden, they thought maybe sothing happened since they couldn't hear what was happening inside. But all of a sudden, they saw one of the lava n standing on the place Grey was standing on while Grey appeared among the lava n and attacked.
"Such battle knowledge. They are all so well familiar with each other."
"Being able to switch places with an enemy at any ti is a dangerous skill to have. Such a figure can not be made an enemy, no matter what!"
"The boy is sothing else. I wonder how he was able to get this powerful."
"I believe they are all grade nine geniuses. If that's the case, they are special."
"Building a bond with them won't be that easy. If only we can recruit both Fire Elentalists."
"We can offer them so techniques."
"We'll wait for them to step out."
….
Inside the volcano.
Grey and his friends had gone to the next round, and to their shock, the next challenge didn't have to do with fighting. It was breaking through an array formation that could attack. Any wrong move and they would be blasted by a powerful attack.
"This shouldn't be difficult." Grey sensed the array and said, "Give so ti, I'll make a few tweaks to this thing and we'll be able to pass through with ease."
This ti, they encountered the group of seven once again. As they advanced, the number of people they encountered started to dwindle. It was common in trials like this. Since each level gets harder, fewer people would be able to advance. It was like a way of filtering the talents. Only those who are strong enough could get to the last levels.
The deeper you go in, the better it is for you.
Also, the heat had gone up once again. However, with the heat cos so benefits. Absorbing it gives each Elentalist a good amount of nourishnt, and their essences are well filled. The constant fighting and nourishnt will make one's essence grow stronger and they can use more powerful attacks.
Grey and Alice had it easier since they had the fire elent. Klaus and Reynolds continued with the sa thod as before, but this ti, they've been able to increase the size of the hole. They've seen the benefits and didn want to waste the opportunity.
The trio waited as Grey went to work. After about ten minutes, Grey stood up and wiped off the sweat on his head.
"We can go now."
He took the first step and instantly retreated.
"Well, not just yet." He said with an awkward smile as an explosion rang off.
