The entire arena shook from the roar that came from the stands when they heard Grey's words. Challenging a peak Seventh stage Sovereign while being in the Sixth stage is already shocking in itself, challenging two peak Seventh stage Sovereigns while being a Sixth stage Sovereign is nothing short of being dumb. How could a genius be so dumb as to give his chance of a better life away?
The duo Grey was challenging are known for their vile means. It's not that they purposely cause harm to their opponents, but the darkness element is a very destructive element, and a little slip up in control as well as the defenses of the person taking the attacks could mean serious injuries, if not death.
The crowd already believed that Grey would not be able to come out on top against his current opponent, yet he's adding someone who's just as strong as him to the fray.
Grey must've had a screwloose or something.
In the Elders' area.
