"And I will make sure you pay," Grey said, his eyes narrowing into slits as lightning crackled around him. He bent forward, hands on the ground, poised like a sprinter at the starting line.
"Make you pay for hurting my friend!" he roared, launching forward with such force that a deafening boom echoed through the arena.
In an instant, he shot into the air toward Dave, who hovered above. Before Dave could react, Grey's lightning-clad fist slammed into his face, sending him crashing down with a thunderous impact that bent the canvas beneath him. Grey dived after him, wind magic boosting his speed to incredible levels, shattering multiple sound barriers as he closed in.
Just as Grey's fist was about to strike again, Dave vanished. Grey's punch missed, and he crashed into the canvas. He quickly sprang to his feet, scanning the area. A metal fist materialized out of nowhere, slamming into his face and sending him hurtling into the barrier. Sparks of lightning erupted on impact, but they didn't harm him. As he stood, a long metal sword shot toward him.
"I'm going to show you!" Grey shouted, propelling himself forward. Wind wrapped around his arm as he struck the sword midair, sparks flying as it crashed into the ground.
Before his feet touched down, he unleashed a flurry of wind blades at Dave. Dave clapped his hands, conjuring a massive metal shield that absorbed the attacks without a scratch.
Grey's voice rang out. "Wind Magic: Aerius Ultra!"
A violent gust exploded forth, hammering into Dave's shield and sending him hurtling backward. Before he could hit the barrier, he enveloped himself in metal, dulling the impact. But in that instant, Grey appeared before him, lightning gauntlet swinging. The punch connected, smashing Dave's head into the metal barrier and launching him across the arena.
"Raze! Vanica! Get Vince out of here and heal him, now!" Grey ordered.
The two wasted no time, sprinting to retrieve Vince. As they retreated, a massive metal sword hurtled toward them. Grey reacted instantly, sending a controlled burst of wind to redirect the blade, slamming it into the opposite side of the barrier with a resounding clang. The path was clear for Vince to escape.
"Vanica! Heal him now!" Scarlet cried, tears streaming as Vanica got to work. The arena trembled with the force of Grey and Dave's battle.
"Who the hell is going to stop these two monsters?" Raze muttered, watching the clash of fists, spells, and raw power.
"Only one person can," Arthur said before dashing out of the arena, leaving the others to tend to Vince.
"Where is that idiot going?" Raze asked before another shockwave sent him stumbling.
Grey panted, his movements a blur as he dodged the fifty metal shards relentlessly chasing him. No matter how fast he moved, they adjusted their course.
"Then I just have to do this!" he growled, summoning his sword from his pendant. As he dove through the air, he struck one shard away, used wind magic to evade another, and slashed through a third.
He danced through the storm of metal, deflecting and destroying shards until one suddenly accelerated and struck his shoulder, sending him spiraling. A metal fist followed up, slamming him into the ground, shattering the canvas beneath him.
Dave approached with a smirk. "I told that weakling the same thing I'll tell you." He reinforced his knee with metal and drove it into Grey's face, blood and spit spraying as Grey's head snapped back against the canvas.
"We are not on the same level. And with my breakthrough mode nearly complete, you will finally face my full wrath." Dave hovered above him, exuding a terrifying aura.
But before he could react, something coiled around his ankle. Looking down, he saw a whip of pure lightning, its end clutched by a bloodied Grey.
"And I'll tell you this," Grey snarled, yanking the whip. "You are no f*cking match for me—breakthrough mode or not!"
Dave was ripped from the air and slammed into the ground with such force that deep cracks splintered across the arena.
'If I weren't holding back my magic, you wouldn't have even landed a single hit on me!' Grey thought furiously, watching Dave rise with nothing more than a minor scratch.
'Seriously?! Does this guy even take damage?!'
A wide grin spread across Dave's face as metallic energy crackled around him. His body glowed bright white, his eyes devoid of pupils, and his hair lifted unnaturally above his shoulders.
"Finally!" Dave exhaled, his voice reverberating with raw energy. "Now I know who you are. You're that dual-elementalist peasant from the first years!"
The air thickened with tension as dozens of metal constructs—swords, spears, shards, fists, and balls—manifested around him, their numbers overwhelming.
"Even with two affinities, you are still no match for someone who has broken through!" Dave declared.
With a snap of his fingers, the deadly barrage launched toward Grey at blinding speed. He swallowed hard, bracing for impact.

I'm sure you all are wondering why the PS and GT criteria has become low... Well it's because I realized that we aren't many here so hence the reduction. The former criteria will be used when Magus Supremacy's family has become many. So let's go 😊✌️
