Grey and the others had all picked a protector.
Alice would hold one back, Klaus and Reynolds would hold one back, and Grey would unsurprisingly hold one back.
When the other three Third stage Origin Plane Elementalist saw Grey was going to battle one of the protectors on his own, they all sneered in contempt.
"A fool who's overestimating his ability." The blue-clothed youth said.
"Tch! I don't think he would last more than a minute against the protector." Another one said.
Even they weren't confident they could hold one back, yet, a First stage Origin Plane Elementalist dared to face one alone. If that wasn't seeking death, what is?
They weren't the only ones who felt scorn towards Grey's decision to fight against the protector alone, the companions of the Darkness Elementalist and even the crowd all felt Grey was overestimating his abilities.
