The puppet shot straight at Grey after getting the order from the lady, striking out with a lightning blade, aiming to cut Grey's head clean off with a single move.
The lady observed Grey's reaction when the puppet charged at him, and for a split second, all she saw in his eyes was excitement. The eyes which had only displayed coldness ever since she laid her eyes on them were now showing a different emotion, and it was from being attacked by such a powerful being.
The lady did not see wrong, Grey indeed became excited at the prospect of fighting a Peak Sovereign. He was now a Ninth stage Sovereign, a powerhouse close to the very peak of this world. When he was an Eighth stage Sovereign, he managed to kill a few Peak Sovereigns, but that was with the aid of others. With his current strength, he wanted to know if he could handle a Peak Sovereign on his own.
Instead of dodging, Grey clenched his right fist which was covered in blue flames and punched at the lightning blade.
