'I can't take this anymore, we need to escape!' Void yelled after slamming into the ground for the eighth ti.
'You can still go on.' Grey sneered while blocking the advances of Aetonth to give Void ti to regain himself.
'No, no I can't. Look at all the pits I've ford on the ground. Look! There's even one that draws for almost two ters! I'm not even close to half a ter in length.' Void complained while showing Grey all the little craters his figure had made after he slamd into the ground.
There is one that was particularly eye-catching since it drew over a distance of nearly two ters. It was from the ti when Aetonth's tail connected with Void, sending him crashing into the ground.
Regardless of the fact that Void had been the one receiving most of the beatings, Grey hadn't been particularly lucky as well. Whenever Void was out of the picture, he had to face Aetonth alone to try and cover for Void.
It had been over five minutes since Aetonth caught up with them, and they haven't even been able to strike him once. All their attacks had either been destroyed by Aetonth's attacks or stopped by the ice sphere which appears only when an attack gets close to it.
Grey currently had three inscriptions set up which were frequently attacking, as well as his personal attacks, this was the only reason they were still alive. Distracting Aetonth was the only thing Grey could currently do. Without Void's space elent, it was almost impossible for him to get past the ice sphere, since even when he manages to destroy it, Aetonth would be able to easily escape and create another one.
He thought of using his physical strength, but he realized that getting closer to Aetonth would put him in more danger, so, he decided against it. Also, after recalling how painful the tail strike he got from Aetonth was, he knew it was a fool's wish to think his physical strength would be on par with its or even stronger.
'Looks like I'll have to use that again.' thought Grey.
Without wasting ti, he quickly started channeling water essence through his legs, to different parts of the battlefield, he hoped to once again trap Aetonth before he and Void attacked with their strongest attacks. But he was left stunned when he realized once his water essence got within two ters of Aetonth, he would suddenly lose the link with it, it was like it was suddenly frozen.
Grey tried again, and the result was just like the first ti, he couldn't help but stare at the eyes of Aetonth, and from its eyes, he could tell it figured out what he wanted to do and stopped it.
'I'll have to use the Fusion State for a little while then escape, as quickly as possible.' Grey thought.
He was left with no option, he had to use the Fusion State so they could have an opportunity to escape, hopefully, he might even get to hit Aetonth more, after all, they would be in the sa stage.
'Void, buy so ti, I'm going to use that technique now.' He said to Void who was just managing to stand from the new pit he had ford on the battlefield.
'Ah, finally!' Void exclaid in delight before vanishing and attacking Aetonth the mont he ca into sight again.
Grey created an earth wall to block any possible attacks that might co from Aetonth and focused on fusing his elental beads since it wasn't the first ti he was doing it, it was faster than before.
His only concern was that he used the Fusion State about a month or two ago, so he didn't know if it might be harmful to him or not.
The elental beads quickly fused, sending out a shockwave with Grey at the center, soon, his stage increased from the Fourth to the Fifth stage, and then all the way to the Ninth stage before it stopped.
Boom!
The intense activity quickly alerted Aetonth who was having a good ti beating Void up, it sensed the sudden spike in Grey's strength and couldn't help but be stunned.
How could the human improve by so much? It wondered.
Aetonth knew of techniques that increased the strength of their users, but not by this much, especially given the Plane Grey was on.
'Looks like the old man knew of this. Fine, things would beco a little more interesting now.' thought Aetonth. It had gotten a little tired of beating the duo up, but since Grey could actually improve his strength to this level, the battle wouldn't be boring anymore.
It stomped on the ground, and from where its forelimb touched, the ground slowly started being covered in snow. In ten seconds, it covered the area within a thirty ters radius.
He quickly picked up speed, and soon appeared before Aetonth. Being in the Fusion State gave him more confidence to get close to Aetonth, he knew Aetonth's body was far stronger than his own, but he still wanted to try it out.
He clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch at Aetonth.
Aetonth retreated three ters back and the ice sphere appeared once again, blocking Grey's punch.
Crack!
Cracks quickly spread across the ice sphere, but it managed to hold on.
Grey didn't seem bothered as he quickly withdrew his hand to throw another punch with lightning speed, this ti, his fist was covered in blue flas like a flaming glove.
He got this idea from a technique he picked up during the first ti he headed out of the Lunar Academy, lightning gloves. It was a technique he went on to regret picking since he never really got the chance to use it.
Boom!
The already cracked ice sphere exploded and the flaming glove in Grey's hand shot from his hand, heading straight for Aetonth.
Aetonth didn't have enough ti to evade the attack, so it quickly improvised and its claw at the flaming fist.
Boom!
Ice and fire exploded out in two directions.
