Chapter 1046

The metal knight golems created by Gustav charged forward with blazing speed while the elemental and ki projectiles from the Supreme Magus launched forward with rapid velocity.

Within a blink of an eye, the forces collided in a loud, thunderous explosion that shook the very planet.

Some projectiles pierced through the heads of the knights, causing them to crumple down into mere pieces of metal, while some managed to deflect the incoming strikes while continuing on their charge.

Grey didn’t move an inch as he only swung his hand forward, sending more than three hundred wind swords flying at the golems.

Gustav watched with a small smile on his face as the planet trembled beneath their feet the more the metal golems and Grey’s elemental projectiles collided.

He didn’t make an attempt to interfere nor attack the warrior-mage directly yet.

And neither did Grey.

Even though they were constructs, the knights moved fluidly like they had been swordsmen in their past lives.

They didn’t fall too easily to Grey’s attacks.

They resisted.

They deflected, parried, and fought.

While their comrades fell, they still kept pushing forward.

Wave after wave, they were clearing the projectiles with sheer grit, as if it were their absolute will to charge at the Supreme Magus.

For a second there, Grey was impressed as he watched the knights push through, and soon, they were heading his way.

Within mere moments, more than a dozen of these metal knights were upon him with swift slashes of their swords directed toward his head.

Grey raised his hands to the side and immediately, a ki sword and a shimmering, crackling lightning sword appeared in his grasp.

With a blur of movement, Grey was gone, charging into their midst to meet them head-on.

If the earth was trying to hold on from the intense pressure of the initial clash, now it was barely able to do so.

With blazing speed, Grey was in the air, delivering a double kick into the helmet of a metal knight.

Spinning around from the kick, he exploded into a flurry of slashes with his dual swords.

The moment he landed, three of the knights had been decimated immediately.

Clang!

His hand snapped in place as he deflected a swipe aimed at his back.

Twirling around sharply, he drove his foot into the midsection of the golem, sending it flying backward with crushing force and speed.

Swiftly bounding backward, a sword sliced through the space he had just occupied.

From above, a massive lightning sword screamed downward and crashed into the remaining golems, causing them to freeze for a few seconds—more than enough time for Grey to dash into their midst and cause a mountain of damage.

Thrust. Slash.

Grey’s hands moved with blurring speed, and within five seconds, the surrounding knights crumbled to the ground.

Simultaneously, the ones fighting his initial projectiles crashed into the earth too, turning into mere metal scraps.

Before Grey could recover his breathing, Gustav materialized directly before him with an upward slash aimed for his neck.

Grey quickly snapped his head backward just in time as the blade tore through the space his neck had just occupied.

The rush of air from the sword strike was enough to send shivers down anybody’s spine, but not Grey.

A sharp thrust was coming from below when the warrior-mage’s hands shot toward that exact spot, intercepting the strike perfectly.

Booom—!

The terrain shuddered as his ki sword met the metal sword from Gustav.

The air crackled with pressure as both father and son glared into each other’s eyes with deep intensity.

Lightning flared up across their frames for a moment, and then,

BOOOOM—!

The world turned blue for a second as they both dashed away from each other, giving space for just a fraction of a second before they charged back at each other with even more speed, especially on the part of Grey.

Within a second, they clashed again.

This time, they didn’t stop.

They swiftly danced across the terrain with speed far beyond any mortal’s mere eyes.

Metal swords clashed against ki and lightning swords.

They moved, each combatant trying to find an opening they could exploit.

The trees in the distance were being uprooted from the sheer shockwave of each collision.

They had managed to survive the initial clash, but unfortunately, they couldn’t stand for much longer as the pressure caused them to shatter into splinters.

The ground cracked with every slam of their feet.

They were quick on their feet, blurring fast.

Augmented by their lightning affinity, they refused to stop for even a second.

Even though he wasn’t a traditional master swordsman who trained exactly like Grey, Gustav was no less of a menace with the blade.

By holding his own against Grey, he was proving that he was no less of a prodigy.

Their limbs blurred through the air, the wind bending under the pressure of each movement.

The sound barrier was cracking with every collision as they swiftly shot upward from the ground.

And now, their clash had left the soil and instead reached for the skies.

They darted across the sky, fluidly striking and crashing into each other.

Swirling Ki and allowing the wind to coil across his frame, Grey was a furious gale of elemental swords.

Gustav was no less of a pressure as he kept teleporting in and out with sharp, precise strikes that could have taken anybody out.

Though Grey couldn’t sense him whenever he teleported, he was still deflecting the deadly attacks away from himself.

The air thundered with every collision.

Grey was trying his hardest to avoid the devastating strikes from his father while still sustaining minor injuries here and there that came from Gustav rapidly stacking his teleportation without any space for breathing.

He was coming in and out like a tactical striker, so much so that for a second, Grey wondered if there was no cooldown for the ability.

The clouds were being dispersed faster than they could reform from the sheer shockwaves bursting out from the duo.

Even though their feet weren’t technically touching the earth, it still didn’t mean that it was safe.

The ground was literally being splintered apart under the crushing force of the blows striking one another with full, fluid intensity.
