City Lord Vaughn knew that as long as the Elemental Warrior is in a weakened state, then it wouldn't be able to display as much strength as it previously could. Just as he was about to ask Grey what their next course of action should be, the Elemental Warrior made a move.
It wasn't sentient, so after it regained its bearings, it charged straight at Grey. Even with Lord Harry not too far from where Grey was standing, the Elemental Warrior chose to lunge at Grey instead.
City Lord Vaughn mobilized his essence to the limit, before creating a sphere made from the fire element. The sphere didn't even last a second as it was broken apart with ease by the Elemental Warrior. At that moment, it dawned on City Lord Vaughn that even in a weakened state, this was still a Peak Sovereign, and it was still much stronger than an Eighth stage Sovereign like himself.
