Chapter 366: Fighting Against An Overlord Plane Expert

Reynolds, who was inside the cave sensed the unrest outside, opened his eyes. When he saw Grey sitting calmly in front of the cave, he closed his eyes once again.
He was already very close to breaking through to the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane, but there was still just barely over half of the lightning tree essence left. If he wanted to completely refine it, it would take another day or two.
‘I’ll need to hurry up,’ He said to himself.
He could tell that whoever Grey was about to face was very powerful, and the only reason he wasn’t escaping was because of him.
Outside the cave.
Grey was slowly starting to merge his essence beads together. He was quite expectant of how strong he would become.
Presently, he had seven elements, and given how the Fusion State usually works, it would boost his stage by seven stages. That should take him to the Third stage of the Overlord Plane. But he didn’t know if the Fusion State would push him into Overlord Plane, after all, it was a different Plane, not a stage.
The energy the young man was giving off continued rising. After a few minutes, it slowly started dying down.
The young man soon opened his eyes, staring in Grey’s direction.
“Boy, where’s the second orb?” He asked while turning to face him.
Grey, who had his eyes shut all this while slowly opened it, and it flashed with seven different colors for about a tenth of a second before returning to normal.
‘Thanks to his long breakthrough, I was able to completely fuse all seven essence orbs,’ He thought to himself.
“Which orb are you talking about?” Grey asked with a lost look.
He kept his aura safely hidden, not to alert the young man of his sudden increase in strength.
“Don’t lie to me, boy, I could kill you with a snap of my fingers right now. There are two orbs below the lightning tree, the one you gave to me, and one that’s even greater,” The young man said with a light snort.
That light snort sent out a tremendous energy wave, but to his surprise, Grey didn’t move an inch, neither did anything happen to the array.
“My eyes never fail me, I knew you were special,” The young man said, not too bothered with Grey not being affected by the energy wave he sent out.
He already saw Grey as someone he could kill whenever he wanted, so he decided to entertain him only for a little bit. Once he gets the orb, he’ll kill him. If he finds out Grey doesn’t have it, he’ll kill him as well, either, Grey dies.
“I had no knowledge of the red orb, well, until you spoke about it. Does that mean there’s a second one as well?” Grey feigned ignorance.
His acting was so good that the young man didn’t think he was lying. He knew Grey didn’t know about the red orb being under the lightning tree, so there was no way he could’ve known of the other one unless it was just beneath the first orb and he saw it.
‘Hmm, could it be that one of those people searched the place?’ The young man asked himself.
“Since you don’t know about it, then there’s no use in leaving you alive anymore. I’ll quickly kill you and chase after those people from the guild,” The young man said.
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a huge red lightning fist appeared mid-air, it shot straight towards the cave.
He wanted to kill Grey and Reynolds in one clean strike. The strength in the lightning fist was not something anyone in the Origin Plane would be able to defend against.
Although the difference between the Peak of the Origin Plane and the First stage of the Overlord Plane was just a single step, the difference in strength is huge. A single Overlord Plane expert could kill over twenty Peak Origin Plane experts in a battle.
Grey looked above him, looking at the fist. A smile formed on his lips as he stood up, he cracked his fist, before darting a look at the young man.
Whoosh! Boom!
Grey suddenly disappeared from the ground, appearing in front of the fist, with his hand covered in blue flames, he punched the lightning fist, and it exploded.
The shockwave from the explosion spread out in all directions, destroying the trees around the cave, but not affecting the cave in any way.
The young man unconsciously took a step back in shock when he saw this happening. He waved his hand and easily neutralized the energy wave that was coming his way.
After the energy settled down, the young man got another shock.
“Impossible!” He said in disbelief.
“Come on, it’s been a while I felt this good,” Grey motioned to the young man with his hands, while standing in the air.
“How’s this possible?” The young man took to the sky, standing opposite Grey.
“There are a lot of things you’ll never be able to understand, so there’s no use explaining.” Grey blinked twice even before he finished his statement.
After blinking twice, he disappeared, a huge hammer soon appeared on the left side of the young man, slamming towards him.
The young man who was still looking at where Grey was previously standing managed to quickly sense the attack. With a twist of his body, he dodged the attack while punching the hammer with a lightning fist.
Lightning ran across the hammer, before destroying the rocks into debris.
Grey appeared on his right side, and attacked again, this time, with the fire element.
Boom! Bang!
It didn’t take up to a minute before the area they were fighting in was completely left in ruins, other than the cave, the other parts of the area were completely destroyed, and this was just from the aftereffects of the attacks, not the main attacks.
“Haha, this is amazing!” Grey laughed out while attacking again.
Boom! Bang!
His fire snake was met with a lightning bolt which caused both attacks to explode, pushing both fighters back a few meters in the air.
