Chapter 1723: The Winner Hasn't Been Announced Yet



Boom!

A deafening sound reverberated from the platform, rocking the entire arena. Those with a cultivation stage below the Sovereign Plane felt like they were about to lose their lives just from the pressure coming from the explosion. They weren't even the one it was aimed at, yet they could sense the threat it posed.

Ezekiel looked at the explosion and his heart sank, at the moment, whenever he recalled the face of Grey, all he could feel was fear. He dreaded Grey, he didn't want to have any encounter with such a freak.

'Are there more like him?'

This was the question in not that Ezekiel's head, but a lot of people's heads as well. Of Grey's entourage, other than Keith, no one else put up any spectacular performances. However, no one is thinking about that at the moment, the reason for that is that, Grey, one of the outsiders who they didn't think much of has shattered their worldview, showing them that even outsiders could be more brilliant than them, people privileged to cultivate with the aid of an essence vein.

A defensive shield had been raised to protect the audience. Anyone below the Peak of the Ninth stage wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of both attacks colliding. Grey's attack alone is enough to threaten a regular Ninth stage Sovereign, adding Vale and his companion's combined attack to it, the force it generated was massive.

Lord Dante reacted quickly, rushing to the aid of Vale and his companion who could only watch as the explosion covered them. They could tell that this was most likely their last moments before they die from this dreadful attack. A spatial tear has once again reappeared, but this time, it was almost double the size of the previous one.

"I went a bit overboard." Grey said, he looked at Lord Dante and added, "Besides, I know there's no chance an expert such as yourself will allow anyone die, at least not under your watch."

Hearing Grey's words, Lord Dante gave him a deep look.

'Smart.' He thought internally. Naturally, he wouldn't allow anyone die under his watch, but he didn't think that Grey took that into account while battling, hence the reason he used such a devastating attack.

Lord Dante didn't speak with Grey any further, he looked at the crowd and then at the shield that had cracks on it and sighed, "The competition is suspended for the rest of the day. Tomorrow we'll continue."

Just as Lord Dante was about to step off the platform, Grey cleared his throat to gain his attention. He turned to Grey, a brow raised questioningly.

Grey had a shy expression on his face as he said, "Sir, the winner hasn't been announced yet."

Grey's mannerism as he said this was completely different from what he has been showing all this while. It was as if he was a different person.

Lord Dante didn't expect Grey to stop him cause of this, and when he thought about it, the winner truly hadn't been announced.

P.S: Please read author's note :) I can't add it here since it'll increase the word count, making the prices of the chapter higher.
