The Ninth stage Sovereign was using his Puppet while fighting with Klaus since Grey was not close by to cut off his link to the Puppet, he did not expect Grey to appear in front of him and even attacked. He hurriedly tried to call back his Puppet to block Grey's attack, only to momentarily freeze, taking Grey's attack without being able to even put up any defense. At the time Grey attacked, he also cut off the link between the Gnome and his Puppet, making it impossible for him to block the attack.
Struck cleanly, the Gnome was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood mid-air.
Grey switched places with Klaus immediately his attack hit, at the same time, Klaus' attack just grazed the cheek of the Gnome Grey was previously fighting, sending an unimaginable chill through the body of the Gnome.
