Chapter 636 - Oliver Showcasing His Abilities

'Void…' Grey called out, helplessly.
'There's nothing I can do,' Void replied, his voice anxious due to their current situation.
He looked around, but he didn't see anyone coming from anywhere to help them. Even the Principal is basically helpless in a situation like this.
….
Somewhere in the void, watching the battle was an old man. He had both hands clasped behind his back, and his eyes revealed a nonchalant look.
"The young lord's situation isn't good. If things stay like this, I'm afraid I'll have to show up," He muttered to himself.
This was none other than the man tasked with protecting Grey by his mother. After Grey left for the Aurora Continent, he had some difficulties since they weren't transported to the same location, but he managed to locate him in the end.
However, just when he found him, he was about to leave for the Azure Continent again. He hurried back to the Azure Continent after him and found Grey a few days ago.
On seeing that Grey had gone from the Peak of the Origin Plane to the Fifth stage of the Overlord Plane, he was left amazed by his speed. Naturally, when he saw him the last time before Grey left the Aurora Continent, Grey was still at the Peak of the Origin Plane, which he found odd given his talent. It was only now that he knew that Grey was simply accumulating his essence for a massive breakthrough.
While watching from the void, he realized the people were about to take their respective captives back to their empires.
"I guess… oh, this will be interesting," He was about to help out when he sensed two auras, one belonged to the Principal. The other one made him smile a little bit.
….
The Principal arrived at the location when they had already sealed the cultivation of the group who were incapacitated. Void was the only one left out, well, simply because he was a cat. Other than the duo he fought against amongst the necromancers, no one else knew of his abilities.
He was naturally with Grey.
"Stop!" The Principal called out when he arrived.
"Oliver, what do you want?" The Emperor of the Qilin Empire asked coldly.
"You can't take the youngsters," Oliver said calmly.
His voice was unusually calmer than expected.
"This is not a place for you to run your mouth, boy. Even though you've broken through to the Sage Plane, you're still not in the position you can speak to us how you like," The Lightning Elementalist they encountered back at the borders said coldly.
"I'm sorry for my behavior senior, but I will not allow you to take them. Not while I'm still alive," Oliver said coolly.
Even though he knew this wasn't a battle he couldn't win, he didn't care. If he didn't do anything, Grey and his friends would be taken. Unlike before when only the Qilin Empire had them, now it would be even more difficult to help them once separated.
They might be killed before he even tried to rescue one, much less all four of them.
"Hehe, since you said so yourself, then I have no choice but to fulfill your wish," The Lightning Elementalist said with an evil grin.
He had gotten the go-ahead from the Emperor, so he wouldn't hold back in the battle.
Oliver was only in the First stage of the Sage Plane, while he had been in the Second stage for hundreds of years now, even before Oliver was born.
"Please instruct me, senior," Oliver said with a bow before lightning danced across his body.
The Lightning Elementalist scoffed, with lightning also dancing across his body.
Buzz! Swoosh! Bam!
Both parties moved at the same time, causing a massive explosion as their attacks collided mid-air. Small lightning snakes danced in the sky.
They soon started attacking more ferociously. At the start of the battle, Oliver was on the back foot. But as the battle progressed, everyone could see that he was slowly getting into the battle, counterattacking whenever the opportunity presented itself.
Boom! Bang! Sizzle!
The sky was covered by a sea of lightning, and lightning clouds even started to take form in the sky as their battle intensified.
The two old men from the Qilin Empire stared at each other. They could tell that the more the battle lasted, the more Oliver was getting the upper hand in the battle.
One has to know that for anyone to break through to the Sage Plane in a place like the Azure Continent, then it meant that their talent for cultivation was top notch. If they even went to the Aurora Continent, they wouldn't pale in comparison to their peers there. Of course not all of them, but they would at least be above average.
The shortage of elemental essence in the Azure Continent made it almost impossible for anyone to break through to the Sage Plane, yet, here these people were.
In a battle between geniuses, it was almost impossible for one to fight across stages, and the increase in Plane as well, made it even harder. Only people like Grey could easily do it even with the increase in Plane.
Crack! Bam!
A figure was sent flying, and to the surprise of everyone present, it was none other than that of the Lightning Elementalist.
Bang!
He crashed into the ground, causing a long and deep crater to appear on the ground.
He didn't stay down for long, quickly flying back up.
He stood before the man in front of him, and his expression was dark, never did he think that he would be defeated by a junior.
Oliver stood in the sky, his white shirt dancing in the wind, with lightning arcs circulating around him. It was as if he was the god of thunder.
Klaus stared at his father in awe, but also sorrow. He knew no matter how his father tried to salvage the situation, there was no way he could defeat all the Sage Plane Elementalists here on his own.
"I'll say this again, leave the youngsters behind," Oliver said softly.
