Boom! Bang! Bam!
Grey and the Gnome exchanged a couple of moves in the space of a second. Grey was faster, but the Gnome was stronger. Grey's attack speed couldn't give him the advantage over someone that's far stronger. A Fifth stage Sovereign might not be able to defeat him, but going up against a Sixth stage Sovereign was different.
The Gnome, even though he could see that he had the advantage, was lost for words. The fact that Grey was not only able to handle one attack, but over ten moves was outstanding. Any other Third stage Sovereign would be dead by now, yet Grey was still standing and has even been able to make sure none of the Gnome's attacks got to him.
'This human is too strong.'
