1022 A Familiar Figure
Grey and Void didn’t try to hide their whereabouts, since the person might be from the Gnome race and was probably after Grey, then they would kill a bunch of Sage Plane Elementalists from the Gnome race and try to lead the Elemental Venerable their way. This would give them the chance to assess the strength of the person before trying to engage such a person.
With Void around, it would be almost impossible for someone to sneak up on the duo. Not just that, but Grey could easily sense those from the Gnome race, so as long as this person was from the Gnome race, he would be able to sense them.
The duo soon started their killing spree, killing every member of the Gnome race they encountered, while also heading in the direction of the hideout of the Gnomes.
While Grey was killing his way through, another person was killing any human that crossed his path. If Grey was here, he would recognize the figure. It was none other than the Prince who broke through some time ago. The Prince hated Grey to his bones, so now that he had consolidated his realm, he wanted to kill Grey.
After the news of someone camping outside the portal and killing everyone, those from the Gnome race made it a priority to kill Grey, and someone in the upper realm was asked to go down. The Prince volunteered because he wanted to make sure Grey died by his hands. He had fought against Grey before and knew his strength.
“Where’s he?” He asked the person that was sprawled on the ground, bleeding.
“Who?” The person didn’t know who the Prince was talking about. Even after being beaten to such a state, he didn’t know what the Prince was talking about.
pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m “Your leader.” The Prince said.
“He has broken through some time ago and is in the upper realm.” The person replied with a tearful expression. He knew his chances of survival were very slim. Even if he told this person the whereabouts of the person he was searching for, the Prince would still kill him.
The Prince felt irritated by the young man’s refusal to tell him where Grey was hiding and killed him in a blink. This was the sixth person they had encountered, but none of them knew of Grey’s whereabouts.
All of them had been giving him the same answer, their leader had broken through, but there was no way he would believe such a thing. Grey was in the Sixth or Seventh stage the last time they fought. It had only been three months, and even if Grey was an unparalleled genius, there was no way he would’ve broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, at most, he would still be in the Eighth stage by now.
Crack!
A crack appeared on his arm. Looking at it, his expression changed, “My time is limited. I should go to the human hideout.”
He soon came to a conclusion. On his way, he sensed something strange.
“Your Highness, he’s here.” He received a voice transmission from the Gnome hideout.
Before he set out, he told them of his plans. Grey directly killed his way into the Gnome’s hideouts.
The Prince was first stunned, then his expression changed to one of anger. Grey’s arrogance was beyond him, but the fact that he didn’t fear anything and killed his way into the Gnome’s hideout showed how little he thought of them.
‘Once I kill him, I’ll deal with that stupid Giant.’ He thought to himself.
The leader of the Giants hadn’t been able to break through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, so he was still here. Unlike most people, he was only in the Eighth stage when he entered this place. At the time he became leader, he just broke through to the Peak of the Sage Plane.
The leader went against his request and allowed Grey to do as he pleases with Gnomes.
The Prince didn’t think too much about it as he rushed back to the hideout. Even if Grey was strong, there was no way he would be able to fight against an Elemental Venerable while still being in the Sage Plane.
With his speed, it took him only a few minutes to cover thousands of kilometers. Appearing close to the hideout, he paused and tried to observe the situation. His expression changed when he noticed all the corpses that were on the ground. Even he wouldn’t dare to kill this many humans, yet Grey did it without thinking twice.
The Prince didn’t try to find out anything else and rushed inside, Grey must die.
When he entered the place, he saw Grey sitting on the chair that was meant for the leader of the Gnome race while in the secret realm. What annoyed him was not where Grey was seated, but the hall was littered with corpses, even the sides of the seat had two deformed corpses.
“You’re here, I thought you would take longer, I’m not done preparing my surprise yet.” Grey said when the Prince stepped in.
“Oh, it’s you!” He exclaimed when he saw the face of the Prince.
He never thought the Prince would be the one who would come in. This made things even more interesting.
The Prince studied Grey and surprise appeared on his face, he would never think that Grey had actually been able to get to the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane. It had only been how long, three months or so.
His motivation to make sure Grey died increased at this moment. He had already tagged Grey as a must-kill to Gnomes, but now, Grey was advancing at unprecedented speed. One has to know that the main reason Gnomes were more powerful than humans was their ability to control human corpses. If they managed to kill a human powerhouse, they could convert the strength of the powerhouse to theirs, but against Grey, this was useless. In fact, it placed them in even greater trouble since he could use it to attack their minds.
