767 Something You Two Don't Have

The young men stared at each other and nodded. 

"I'm confident in my abilities, I'll defeat you myself." The Dual Elementalist among the duo said. 

"Of all the people here today, you two are one of the few I respect. You're not like those swines who would forget their pride as a genius and attack together. Honestly, I would make the same decision as you." Klaus said with respect. 

When Grey and his friends heard him, they almost ran over to the platform to give him a good beating. 

"Hehehe, he's always the same." Reynolds laughed when he heard this. 

Grey's eyes twitched, but he decided not to think about it. Alice also refrained from saying anything as she looked away when those sitting around them looked in their direction. 

Even Kyle who hadn't been with the group for a long time knew Klaus was lying. Unfortunately for the two young men on the platform, they thought he was speaking with the dignity of a genius. 

"Since it's like this, I will defeat you personally. Please, stay out of the way, we'll face off after I eliminate him." The Dual Elementalist said.

The Earth Elementalist nodded and moved to the side, close to the edge of the platform. 

Klaus bowed in the direction of the Earth Elementalist as if he was thanking him for his willingness to let him battle against the Dual Elementalist alone. 

While Klaus' face was out of sight, an evil grin was pasted all over his face. A tiny ice needle was dropped on the floor and it was snaking its way toward the Earth Elementalist. It was moving in a concealed and silent pattern that even some of the Elders with superior cultivation Planes didn't sense it. 

The Earth Elementalist felt even better when he saw Klaus thanking him and nodded. 

"I couldn't believe I almost teamed up against someone weaker than…" 

The Earth Elementalist was still in the midst of speaking when he sensed an anomaly. 

"Huh?" He looked around, and to his greatest shock, he was currently standing on ice. 

Before he could even react, the ice had sent him out of the platform. 

One person had been eliminated without Klaus even getting to go through the stress of fighting against him. 

"Haha, one out, one to go!" Klaus laughed before rushing after the Dual Elementalist who still wore a flabbergasted expression. 

He still didn't know how the Earth Elementalist was eliminated. A few seconds ago, the Earth Elementalist was standing on the platform, but now, he was no longer on the platform. He saw the ice which sent the Earth Elementalist off the platform, so he knew it was Klaus' doing, but he still didn't see Klaus attacking in any way. 

When he heard Klaus' evil laughter, he felt a wave of burning anger in his chest. 

"You tricked…"

"Shut up and fight!" Klaus didn't let him finish his statement before he launched an attack on him. 

The Dual Elementalist used the wind element to bolster his speed and tried to dodge the attack. There was no way Klaus was going to give him that chance. 

Klaus' attacks were vicious and relentless. The Dual Elementalist was instantly placed on the defensive. 

The crowd were just as stumped as the Earth Elementalist who had been eliminated and the Dual Elementalist who was currently fighting against Klaus. 

They didn't see Klaus attack, but since he was the only Water Elementalist on the platform, they knew it was all his handiwork. 

"Is it just me, or has he become even eviler?" Alice couldn't help but ask. 

None of them saw this coming. Even Grey didn't notice when Klaus released the attack, it was only after the attack activated did he sense it, like almost everyone here.

The few Elders who sensed the attack earlier looked at each other and couldn't help but shudder at the thought of how ingenious Klaus was. They could already see that his name will command fear in the hearts of his enemies in the future. Klaus was a cunning individual, too cunning for his age even. Most of them wouldn't have thought of solving Klaus' current problem in this manner. 

As things stand, Klaus made sure that once he started showcasing his strength, no one else could interfere in the battle. If the Earth Elementalist stayed on the platform, there would've been a possibility of him joining the battle once he notices Klaus had the upper hand against the Dual Elementalist, but now, there was nothing he could do. 

Ultimately, this battle was mainly decided by experience. It was evident that Klaus had the experience of an old cunning fox, while the young men were geniuses who only recently started traveling. 

The Earth Elementalist tried to get back into the platform, but he was stopped by the man in charge of the battle. 

"Sir, the battle hasn't started." The Earth Elementalist said. 

"I already called for the start of the battle before you started speaking with him." The man said with a blank look. 

"But… but… he cheated!" The Earth Elementalist pointed at Klaus. 

"No, I used my brain, something you two seem to be lacking. Hahaha!" Klaus replied. 

Even in the heat of battle, he still had time to mock his opponents. The reason for this was simple, since he had already defeated the Earth Elementalist, he needed a quick way to break down the Dual Elementalist, and what was better than a mental breakdown? 

The Earth Elementalist gritted his teeth in annoyance. However, he knew there was nothing he could do. 

The Elders from the Moonlight Faction looked at each other, a little scared. Klaus was a genius, no doubt, but he had the habit of making enemies. 

"This might be beneficial for him, more enemies means he would have to grow stronger quicker or else he would be killed." One of the Elders said. 

"Yes, and given the skills he has displayed, I think he is used to such a life. What I'm just confused about is why we haven't heard of someone like him. Not just him, but his friends as well. With their talents, they could easily get into the best Factions in the Middle Continent easily from a young age." Another Elder said.
