Magus Supremacy

"Then I just have to make you pay then." The man said and the whole area suddenly got misty as mist and fog covered everywhere including the man and Grey and all the town's people.

The dense mist spanned ten meters, engulfing everything and everyone in its reach. And then above Grey, his teammates and the townspeople, several long ice spikes appeared numbering around fifty and the man had a smirk on his face.

'I was right! He… he is dangerously strong!' Grey thought with his heart thumping and the man's smirk got wider.

"Perish you all!" He said, swinging his hand down, sending the spikes crashing down at tremendous speed.

"Arthur! Greg!" Grey shouted.

"On it!" They both shouted at once as a dozen transparent shield appeared at once rising above the townspeople blocking the spikes from hitting them but the shields began cracking slightly as if it was glass while Greg jumped and shot out a dozen lightning bolts at once towards some of the ice spikes breaking it.

For Grey, he tapped his pendant and a sword appeared in his lightning gauntlet hand and like a lightning bolt while still causing resounding bangs to be heard, he went around breaking the remaining spikes using his sword and in two seconds, he was done as he landed back down with a huff.

"That was impressive!" The eye patched boss said as he smirked. "But too bad it's not going to be enough." He said and another round of spikes appeared again.

'What the hell?! How can he create them so quick after unleashing that many spikes earlier?!' Arthur screamed in his mind as he created more shields again.

'I'm not like the others that can create living constructs, I can only create shields. And my limit is about six but now, I'm straining myself!' Arthur thought in his head as eight more shields appeared together with the cracked six from earlier.

Snapping his fingers, the ice spikes came crashing down again and Arthur lifted the shields protecting himself and the townspeople while Greg and Grey went around breaking the remaining spikes with Grey moving more like a lightning bolt.

In three seconds, they were done again as Greg was beginning to huff and pant in exhaustion.

'This is becoming endless.' Greg thought.

"You both! Take the townspeople away from here and try your possible best to protect them." Grey ordered.

"Wait! Then what about you? We can't just leave you alone here to deal with fifty spikes." Arthur said.

"Trust me, I will be fine." Grey said as he looked at his hands and legs to see the lightning armour fading in and out. "Now hurry!"

"Pft! I will prioritize the townspeople more than you right now. And make sure you don't die, cause if you do, I won't be able to surpass you and prove my superiority." Greg said as he blitzed towards the people and began leading them away quickly while Arthur stayed at the rear of the group with his shields lifted just in case.

"You think I will just let you all leave like that?" The boss asked again as he shot two dozen ice spikes towards the retreating group.

"And I won't let you harm them!" Grey shouted as he blitzed towards the spikes and began moving around like a blur breaking the spikes while letting the others retreat which they did with full speed.

And when Grey was done dealing with the spikes, that was when the townspeople along with his teammates had fully left the misty area leaving Grey alone with the bandit boss and the leader of the thirty group.

"Your idea of staying here alone with be the worst mistake you have ever made as we will get our way no matter what!" The one eyed boss said with fifty more spikes appearing in the fog all around Grey.

"Boss! Let me help too!" The leader of the thirty bandits said.

"No! You will just slow me down, I got this. You want to do something? Go stop those dirtbags even if it means killing them." The boss said.

"Yes sir!" The bandit replied as he prepared to leave.

"I will not let you leave!" Grey shouted as he shot out two bolts of lightning towards the bandit who was slow to react when…

An ice shield of some kind appeared blocking the lightning from hitting the bandit allowing him to leave.

"Focus here!" The boss shouted as he swung his hand down unleashing the fifty shards towards Grey who gripped his sword tighter and took a stance with his boots fading in and out and then exploding from his position forward, he turned into a blur again.

With a kick to the air, he sliced through a shard and then using his wind magic to aid him, he swirled around and slammed his leg into another shard but he was a bit slow as another shard grazed his face drawing blood slightly but he managed to strike the bolt with lightning.

And then surrounding his body were two dozens of wind blades and he shot them out at once breaking some of the ice shards while he went jumping from air to air hitting the other shards breaking them using his sword.

And finally in a minute, he was seen landing back down with his chest heaving in and out with slight sweat forming on his face while his lightning boots and gauntlets finally dissipated from view leaving him with only his sword.

"Oh?! Your friends and only saving grace which is that lightning armour of yours is gone and you are stuck with me here." The boss chuckled as he stepped forward.

"Should I tell you something? There's no way you are ever escaping from this mist because this mist helps boost my magic. I can keep on creating shards upon shards here which means you are trapped with me."

"Keh Keh Keh!" Grey laughed as his head that was bent down was finally being raised with a smirk on his face. "Who says I'm trapped in here with you? It's more like you are trapped with me." He said and a tremendous burst of wind erupted out hitting the mist but as if it had a mind of its own, it formed back.

Then around Grey's hands, fire burned brightly while several spikes of earth appeared surrounding him while he had a smirk on his face.

'He… he is a multi elementalist?! But… but how?! How is someone so young able to wield so much tremendous power? Is he the emperor? I was told that the emperor is a multi elementalist! Is he the one in disguise?!' the boss thought with his heart thumping loudly in fear but the he calmed down while a smirk formed on his face.

'He can't be the emperor, his powers, the mana running through it still feels slightly weak and if he was the emperor, the fight would have ended long ago which means he is just a talented kid of the kingdom that was hiding his abilities.' the bandit boss thought.

"I see that you have been holding back huh! And so have I!" The bandit boss shouted as instead of the usual two dozen of ice shards, fifty Ice swords appeared all around the mist almost covering the whole misty area.

"I guess we have both been holding back, so let's go all out!" Grey shouted as along with fire and earth surrounding him, two dozen wind blades appeared and the both of them took a stance getting ready to explode forward.

"With pleasure!" The bandit boss said as he snapped his fingers sending the ice swords flying towards Grey.
