Chapter 589 - A Battle God

Most of the officials who came from the Capital were in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane, with a few in the Mid stages. The officials were around eight in total.
Jonas was still watching the battle, and to be honest, he had no interest in getting involved.
Since the trial land, he had already concluded that he would never fight against Grey. After getting help from him back at Lapis City, he further reaffirmed his will.
Grey was someone he looked up to, even though they were of the same age. For someone to willingly allow another person to take a legacy of a powerful expert when he or she was not even friends with the said person was not something everyone could do.
Only a few people alive would allow someone they weren't close to growing when they know they too could take the opportunity.
Seeing how things were going, Jonas looked at the few princes who were still present here. They were originally being shielded by the officials, but since the officials were about to get involved in the battle, they would be defenseless.
"We should leave this place, it's already going past my limit," He said to them.
"Aren't you going to help them?" One of the princes asked.
"No, I have no interest in this. If you want to leave this place alive, you can either come with me or stand here and hope that your people might win. I mean, they do have a chance, but even if I join in on this battle, the favorites will remain Grey and his friends," Jonas said.
The princes looked at each other before following behind Jonas. Altogether, five princes were present here, and according to what was said, three princesses came, but they were no place near the Mayor's manor, so Jonas knew nothing of where they were currently located.
With Jonas' protection, the princes left the place without being harmed by the aftereffects of the explosions raging on.
The Mayor had charged in Grey's direction, and with his help, Grey was quickly forced on the back foot.
The Mayor was already very close to the Peak of the Overlord Plane, and with Grey's current strength, he can't fight against him alone, much less when being ganged up on.
The Late stage Instructor he killed was only in the Seventh stage of the Overlord Plane, hence he wasn't too pressured by his strength. However, Grey's strength should be between the Seventh and the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane.
The Mayor was already in the Ninth stage, already past that stage in respect to his strength.
Boom! Bang!
Grey was pushed down, slamming into the ground.
He quickly stood up, staring at the group standing mid-air.
'Time for the real show to begin,' Grey mused to himself.
With a smile, he suddenly switched places with the Mayor who was beside the three Instructors. As soon as he appeared, a large explosion followed suit.
Given the distance, and how sudden it happened, there was no way the Instructors were able to get their defenses up in time. One of them didn't even try because he didn't see it coming.
Boom!
Swoosh!
Three figures were sent flying in three different directions, all bruised from the explosion. Luckily, none of them died from it.
Grey took action immediately, rushing towards one of the Instructors. Before anyone could react.
Bam! Boom!
A clean swift lightning strike hit the Instructor on his chest, creating a large hole there. The body of the Instructor fell from the sky, with no signs of life.
After killing the first one, Grey vanished, heading towards the second one who was trying to escape.
Whoosh!
Of the two Instructors, one of them was a Wind Elementalist, so he used the wind element to increase his speed, trying to get as far away from the fight as possible.
Grey went after this Instructor in particular. He was confident in being able to catch up to the last Instructor when he was done killing this one.
There was no way a Wind Elementalist was faster than a Space Elementalist, and it was soon shown when Grey appeared in front of the Wind Elementalist.
With his right fist tightly clenched, he sent out a punch towards the incoming Instructor, before the Instructor could evade, the punch exploded out, sending out flames that covered a wide range.
"Ah!..." The Instructor's scream followed after the explosion, and before his body came into view, he was held tightly by Grey.
Lightning danced across Grey's body, electrocuting the Instructor he held by the neck.
After a few seconds, the body of the Instructor stopped moving, he was dead.
The Mayor still hadn't been able to fully take in the sudden change in his environment when he heard the second Instructors scream. He was left aghast when he saw how easily Grey killed him.
From Grey switching places with him to killing the two Instructors didn't take up to thirty seconds, this showed just how quickly Grey reacted to the situation he created for himself.
The Mayor was unable to move because something was bothering him.
"How did I get here?" He asked while looking around.
To be honest, this change terrified him. People are always scared of the unknown.
And since he had never heard of anything like this, he couldn't comprehend how it happened. Especially since he didn't see Grey immediately appearing on the same spot he was previously standing.
Old man Gerald and Prince Casper who were watching the battle were the ones who got an inkling of what just happened. Especially old man Gerald who had a higher cultivation stage. He saw how Grey and the Mayor switched places before Grey exploded out with his immense and monstrous attack prowess.
"This kid is like a battle god. You have to admit that," Old man Gerald turned to look at Prince Casper as he remarked.
Prince Casper didn't know if to attack old man Gerald or not. How could he praise his enemy right in front of him? If not for how high old man Gerald's status was, he would've cursed him to die a thousand deaths right now!
