Chapter 1481 Battling A Sovereign

?Grey was on the verge of awakening his wind domain, while the Pseudo-sovereign was on the verge of getting to the Sovereign Plane.

A few moments later.

Both parties burst into laughter simultaneously as the essence faded off.

The man had gotten to the Sovereign Plane. But he didnʼt know why Grey was laughing in delight. He took a closer look at Grey and realized that he had gotten to the Pseudo-sovereign stage.

He laughed even harder when he sensed this.

A Pseudo-sovereign against a Sovereign was not even a contest. The Sovereign would defeat the Pseudo-sovereign at any encounter.

Grey didnʼt think much about the man. He looked at himself in pride. Yes, he failed to break through to the Sovereign Plane, but it didnʼt change the fact that he was one step closer to it.

Getting to the Sovereign Plane from the Pseudo-sovereign stage was easier than getting to it from the Peak of the Venerable Plane.

”Kid, unfortunately, you couldnʼt stop me. Now, Iʼll cut off your limbs before taking you to my hideout.” The man laughed.

”Iʼm sorry, but youʼre not enough to make me scared.” Grey didnʼt feel any pressure from the First stage Sovereign standing before him.

He could sense the power coursing through his body and knew what he was capable of. A First stage Sovereign like this man isnʼt enough to make him worry, and he was certain of it.

The man didnʼt think much of Greyʼs words, he chuckled as he replied, ”Iʼm not going to deny that youʼre a genius. But a Sovereign against a Pseudo-sovereign? Not a chance.”

Grey didnʼt respond and prepared for a fight. All he needed was for the man to attack and he would retaliate.

The man laughed slightly and sent out a casual attack.

Grey blocked the attack, but he was forced a few steps back.

The sight of this made the man laugh. He knew Grey wasnʼt his match after his breakthrough, but since Grey wanted to test his ability, he didnʼt mind waking him back to reality.

ʼPeople like this have clouded judgments.ʼ

This was what the man thought of Grey. He felt he was one of those people who didnʼt know their limits and feel like they can do everything.

He was still Sovereign, yet Grey, a Pseudo-sovereign, felt he had a chance against him. Even if he didnʼt want to say it, he felt Grey was a fool. Only a moron would have such a thought process.

Grey couldnʼt be bothered with what the man thought of him. He looked at his hand and couldnʼt help but shake his head.

ʼThe gap is wider than I thought.ʼ

Grey thought to himself but he didnʼt show any signs of backing off. The gap might be more than what he imagined, but he was confident he could take down the man.

The man wasnʼt one of the people Grey would back down against. If he were fighting someone on Aliceʼs or any of his friendsʼ caliber, he wouldʼve escaped a long time ago. However, this man was one of the weaker people on the same stage. He knew he could close the gap because of this.

The man didnʼt think about all this. He had gotten to the much coveted Sovereign Plane, his next step was to grow stronger at a faster pace. As long as he could get to the Mid or Late stages of the Sovereign Plane, he would be almost untouchable in the Aurora Continent. This was the life he had been praying for, and with Greyʼs rich background, this was the only chance he could achieve it.

Grey looked at the man with cold eyes and said, ”Iʼm not on the same level as you when you were a Pseudo-sovereign. You might not be able to fight against a Sovereign, but I can.”

”Haha, Iʼll like to see that happen.” The man laughed and attacked once again.

Grey blocked the attack, but was forced back by the force of the attack. He knew the manʼs attack was above his own, but he had his ways to fight against it.

He didnʼt dare to phase through the attacks. The man had gotten to a level where he could affect the space around Grey with his attacks. Doing something like that would only put him in serious danger. He is aware of this and didnʼt try to do it. He focused mainly on defending and also evading the attacks.

There was no point trying to block all attacks. His scales and defensive suit canʼt take on attacks like these continuously.

The plan was to let the man drop his guard and attack when he was not suspecting.

The man didnʼt have any plans of leaving. Seeing that Grey was no match for him, he wanted to relish the feeling of oppressing him before taking him out of the picture.

His attacks were powerful and he forced Grey back with each one.

Grey took each attack calmly, making sure he didnʼt show any weakness. The man was attacking, Grey was evading and defending.

Time went on and the man started to feel bored of bullying Grey. At first he wanted to fill his ego since Grey made life difficult for him while he was in the Pseudo-sovereign stage. Now that he had the advantage, he wanted to make Grey regret his choice of not escaping when he could.

Grey didnʼt see anything wrong with what the man was doing, he wouldʼve done the same. Well, not really. Unlike most people, he didnʼt like underestimating his opponents.

He continued taking the manʼs attacks, and when he noticed the man had changed completely from how he previously was, he knew that things were about to get serious. He increased his guard and didnʼt let anything slide.

He was facing a Sovereign, someone that could wipe out the entire Azure Continent with one move. Red City wouldnʼt even survive the aftereffects of such an entity.
