Grey looked at the creature that appeared in front of him. It was a stone golem that stood at a height of over five meters.

"He's a summoner" One of the instructors exclaimed.

"Summoner?" Grey looked at Damian closely.

This was not the first time he had come across this word, he had read about it in some books. Summoners are even rarer than Dual Elementalists, they have the special ability to summon a creature made entirely of their elements.

Not all summoners were born with the gift, some had resonance with their said elements which in turn gives them this special ability. The chance of a summoner appearing in a hundred thousand Elementalist is meager.

These summons are always at least a stage above their summoner, and their strength is always at the peak of said stage. For example, since Damian is at the Seventh stage of the Arcane Plane, his summon would be at the Eighth stage of the Arcane Plane. Its strength could rival the weaker ones in the Ninth stage.

The downside to this is that, after the summon disappears, the summoner will enter into a weakened state. There is no free meal in this world, everything has a price. In the case of summoners, the price they pay is their elemental essence.

As long as the summoner's elemental essence is still available, the summon will last till it's dismissed. But since it runs entirely on the elemental essence of the summoner, the consumption rate is quite high.

With Damian's current abilities, he can keep the summon for about six minutes tops. If he were battling any other person, he was confident five minutes would be enough to give him victory. But he knew Grey still hadn't shown his full strength yet.

Grey looked at his new opponent with excited eyes, he had already changed the previous thought he had, now Damian was his strongest challenge in the tournament.

"It seems sentient. Amazing!" Grey was awed by the wonders of the world.

The crowd looked at the golem in shock.

"That's a golem from the legends"

Most of the students were excited when they found out what it was. It was something they never thought to appear in the tournament, not even the competition. They never even had the thought to start with, so this was a fairly pleasant surprise. And they loved it.

The golem looked at Damian, before switching his gaze to Grey. It can't really be said to be looking at Grey since there weren't any eyes on its face. It only had a mouth, which is clearly used for scaring the shit out of people with its roars.

If any other student were to be in Grey's position, they would have been scared senseless when they heard the roar. To be honest, Grey slightly felt fear when he heard it. But his curiosity got the better of him.

Grey sent a lightning bolt towards it, he wanted to test how strong its defense was before planning on what next to do.

"Bang"

The lightning crashed into it, but it did not affect it. Apart from making some marks as a result of the strike, nothing else happened, it didn't even flinch on getting hit.

This was within Grey's expectations, the attack didn't have the strength to deal strong damage to it. But still, it should have at least broken some rocks on its body.

"RAWR"

It roared again angrily and charged at Grey.

'Oops, I think my attack angered it' Grey thought and quickly tried to dodge the attack of the golem.

But to his surprise, the golem was able to keep up with his movement and was even able to put him in a difficult position. He expected the size of the golem to affect its speed, but his thoughts were dead wrong.

The golem was as fast as he was, which wasn't supposed to happen given its size.

It sent a fist towards Grey, the power behind it was unbelievable. The instructor by the side was already prepared to charge in once he notices Grey couldn't hang on.

Lightning covered Grey's hands completely, and he struck a fist towards the fist of the golem. When the instructor saw this his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

"Is he mad?!"

The students all had similar reactions, Grey's idea of using his fists against the golem was idiotic from their point of view.

"Bang"

Both fists slammed into each other and Grey was pushed back. He clearly lost in the battle of strength, but he managed to destroy some parts of the golem's fist.

"How's this possible?" The students and the instructors felt like their view of life had shattered.

Grey attacked the golem with his fist covered only in lightning but was alright. After some thought, they all attributed it to the lightning he used.

'This isn't so bad' Grey looked at his fist with a smile. Although the lightning did most of the work, his physical strength still came up with about forty percent in that attack.

No one would dare to replicate what he just did. He sent an orb towards the golem, the golem tried to slap it away, but before it could do that, it exploded right in front of it.

Some parts of the golem broke off. Just as Grey was about to make another attack, he saw the golem's body was repairing itself.

"It heals?" Grey was dumbstruck.

First of all, he didn't know how long Damian could keep the summon. Coupled with its ability to self-repair, it can be said to be almost undefeatable. It has only been around one minute since the golem appeared.

Grey didn't feel discouraged, he once again charged towards the summon and attacked. After attacking for almost thirty seconds, he was able to successfully break off some other parts of the golem's body.

But just like before, it repaired itself. Only this time, Grey noticed a difference. The speed at which it used in repairing itself was much slower compared to the first time.

"Hmm, seems like I found a way" Grey came up with a plan, that was to beat the golem so much that its repair speed won't be able to keep up with the damage it would be taking.

He charged at the golem, but this time, the golem sent him flying with a punch. Luckily he was able to keep himself on the platform, else he would have lost this fight.

Grey had already used earth armor, which was able to limit the damages he took from the golem.

During the course of the next minute, Grey had been sent flying two more times, but he had been able to make some major damages to the golem.

Currently, one of the golem's hands was in the process of repairing itself. Grey managed to completely destroy one of its hands with a lightning blade he sent towards it when he found an opening.

The battle has been exciting all through, the students were all watching the fight animatedly. Since this was something they were seeing for the first time, they wanted to see just how strong the summon was. And it hasn't disappointed them so far.

The surprise they got from the battle was the fact that Grey was able to still battle with the golem even after the times it had sent him flying. He not only was still battling, but he had been able to destroy one of the golem's hands.

Grey was already starting to worry, his insides were already not in the right spots from all the attacks he had received from the golem. Although the golem is healing at a slower pace, it hasn't shown any signs of crumbling yet.

He sent out an attack that took the shape of a fist made from lightning towards the golem. Since one of its hands was still under repair, it was left with only one hand. Grey attacked the side of its body where it would be hard for it to use its only hand to block the attack.

Another minute went by and Grey had already successfully destroyed more than half of its head, with multiple holes in its body.

Grey was about to send out another attack when the golem slowly started crumbling. He turned his gaze to Damian and only saw him lying unconscious on the floor.

The instructor went over to check on him.

"He's fine, he only passed out from overexertion"

Grey nodded before he turned to leave the platform.

"Grey wins" The instructor announced the result before taking the unconscious Damian out of the platform.

The students all applauded Grey's strength. For him to be able to battle the golem for as long as he did without suffering a defeat was just amazing.

Sheila felt she wouldn't stand a chance against the golem if she were in Grey's position.

Grey walked over to his friends and sat down to rest. He still had one more battle for today, so he needs to recover as much strength as he possibly can.

Reynolds won his next battle which was against a student at the Seventh stage of the Arcane Plane.

But the most shocking thing happened at Klaus's battle, his opponent was Damian.

Damian was still unconscious and would only be able to battle the next day. So Klaus won the battle as a result of a forfeit.

He immediately started one of his legendary bragging sessions once again, which Grey showed no interest in, but Reynolds was completely hooked to what he was saying…
