Chapter 845 Falling For A Familiar Trick

Chapter 845 Falling For A Familiar Trick
Boom!
Grey's figure crashed into the ground, almost sliding off the platform. He managed to keep himself on the platform with his hands and forcefully used his elemental essence, suffering a backlash from the technique Lydia used.
When he stood on the platform, he was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath. Lydia was a difficult opponent, and this was a challenge he had been waiting for a long time now.
'Her elemental grade shouldn't be below Cyan.' He thought internally as he looked at her.
"You're quite amazing, most people would've been eliminated by now." Lydia wasn't feeling pressured by Grey any longer, so she didn't mind speaking with him for some time before she defeats him.
Even if Grey had impressed her so far, she was still a hundred percent confident that she would be able to defeat him. Since she had used this technique, she felt she was already the victor of the battle.
Grey looked at her, "You're not bad yourself."
"Haha, I'd like to see how long you'll be able to keep that calm expression on your face." Lydia chuckled before attacking once again.
Grey retreated quickly, dodging the attack that Lydia sent his way. After dodging, he tried to close the gap, but Lydia didn't give him the chance.
'I can still use my elemental essence two more times, that's my limit. Either I take her out or I lose, either way, I have no choice.' He thought after dodging the attack
When he used his elemental essence previously, he realized he could use it two more times, so he started to plan on how to use it to defeat Lydia.
After careful consideration, he could only think of one plan: he would use his space element to appear beside her and attack her with his physical strength. If he failed, he would wait for another chance to use his last effort.
This was his best bet, if he tried to attack her with an elemental attack and failed on the first try, then he would've wasted his chance to defeat her.
Lydia continued her attack, dominating the battle, she didn't feel any pressure from fighting against Grey. To her, this was nothing more than a spar with an inanimate object.
She was still in the process of assaulting Grey when his figure suddenly flashed, before she knew it, he was standing in front of her and he threw a fist at her.
She quickly used the water element to create an ice wall in front of her to block the attack.
Grey's fist broke through the ice wall and almost hit her, but she prepared another defensive wall made from the darkness element. Even though it managed to stop Grey's fist, she was still pushed back by it.
She slid back and looked at Grey with a surprised expression.
"Impossible!" She exclaimed, unable to believe that Grey was able to actually mobilize his elemental essence, neglecting the backlash.
She wasn't the only one who was surprised by this turn of events, all the Elders from the Syphilis Faction, as well as the Pyrmond Faction Elders couldn't believe that Grey managed to use his elemental essence after Lydia used that ultimate technique.
The Elders from the Pyrmond Faction couldn't help but feel a hint of hope. Grey shocked them, and they hoped he could continue shocking them.
Lydia was still trying to regain her footing when Grey's figure appeared beside her, throwing a fist at her.
She was unable to set up a defensive wall, so she used her elemental essence to enhance the strength in her hand and tried to block Grey punch by crossing her hands in front of her.
When Grey's fist connected with her hands, she realized she made a terrible mistake. She was sent flying, like a kite.
Grey rushed after her once again, not wanting to give her the chance to separate them with her elemental attacks.
Lydia's figure didn't even get to the platform before Grey appeared in front of her once again.
He continued attacking, but this time, she used something Grey hadn't seen before. The space element.
She vanished from where Grey appeared and arrived on another side of the platform, keeping a good distance from Grey.
When Grey saw her use the space element, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. The fact that she hid her space element this long showed how cunning she was.
This has spoiled his plans of being able to defeat her with this particular assault.
'Three elements, what else is she hiding?' Grey looked at Lydia, now, he knew to be cautious around her.
At this rate, he didn't know how many elements she had. If he made a wrong decision when using his second chance, then he would lose his opportunity of a surprise attack, leaving him in a difficult position.
At the camp of the Pyrmond Faction, the members who were getting excited when Grey managed to get close to Lydia were also shocked by her using another element. Even the Elders from the Faction didn't see this coming.
"She has a fourth element?" One of the Elders asked in shock.
"I'm just as amazed as you. I never thought she had this element as well." The Elder shook his head with a wry smile.
They've always known Lydia had three elements, darkness, water, and wind element, this was their first time knowing of her fourth element, so it was a surprise to them.
The Elders from the Syphilis Faction didn't find this as a surprise since they already knew, the younger members however felt shocked. They thought they knew Lydia, only now did they realize they didn't know much about her.
Lydia chuckled and looked at Grey, "You just can't seize to amaze me, can you?"
"I can say the same about you." Grey looked at her with a serious expression.
He couldn't take this battle lightly any longer. From not being able to use his elemental essence, to not being able to predict the next action of his opponent. If Lydia had the elements he felt she had, he would've won by now, but unfortunately, she used a trick he was very familiar with.
