Elder Pondwyn knew that if he did not escape from Grey's clutches, there was no way for him to escape.
Grey was thrown back with every move, but he always comes back in barely a few milliseconds. He was not as powerful as Elder Pondwyn, but with the help of his space element and other elements, he is able to ensure that the impact he receives from each attack is almost negligible. Each attack that he could not evade was faced head on.
