Chapter 1380 Where's It?
"What sort of Magical Beast do you think they brought in?" Someone asked.
"One with a top tier bloodline. Since the array wasn't able to sense it early on shows that it is quite adept at hiding itself. We weren't able to sense it as well." The middle-aged man said to the other Elders.
They all nodded. When they saw Grey, they didn't think that he had a Magical Beast on him. Well, neither did they sense the Seelie that was on Alice. But the case of Alice and the Seelie is different given the fact that they merged, unlike Grey's case that an entire Magical Beast was completely hidden from them.
"Did anyone get the strength of the last Phoenix that appeared?" An Elder asked.
No one could answer, Void left too early, taking it with him. Since they couldn't sense the cultivation stage of the Phoenix, there was no way they would be able to know just how powerful the Magical Beast is.
"It should be powerful since it's with them."
The Elders all continued their conversation.
….
Meanwhile, Grey and his friends had started their battles with the Phoenixes.
These Phoenixes were stronger than anything they've faced so far. Klaus was having difficulties oppressing it with his ice as he had done all through the trial. Not just him, Reynolds and Alice as well.
But the Phoenixes didn't have it easy as well. They couldn't overpower their opponents which indicated that they were around the same strength.
Well… not all of them. Grey had the advantage over his opponent. It was easy to say that with his multiple elements, fighting someone on the same level wasn't really a fair fight for the other person. Grey was too versatile, making him a pain in the ass.
With his versatility, he could use multiple tricks, forcing his opponents into difficult situations in a short time.
Grey was used to fighting people stronger than he is, and even during those times, he still tends to get a certain type of advantage over them. Fighting a grade eight opponent of the same cultivation stage was a little different when compared to when he was fighting against those people who were stronger than he was. A grade eight opponent in the same stage as himself could accomplish some of the things he does, which includes fighting against opponents on a higher cultivation stage.
Grey didn't think too much about his opponent, he knew he had the advantage, and he was using it to the fullest.
The Phoenix was forced back from the start of the fight. Grey's attack power was stronger than its own, adding the fact that he could disappear and appear whenever and wherever he wanted, it made him a tough target.
The Phoenix kept missing its attacks while Grey's attacks came from unpredictable angles, forcing the Phoenix which was in the air lower to the ground.
Grey was making full use of his abilities, and the Phoenix was not able to keep up. Two inscriptions lit up the sky to add to Grey's already overwhelming arsenal.
With the inscriptions in place, the Phoenix slowly started to show signs of being completely suppressed by Grey. At this rate, it would not be able to last a few more minutes.
Grey was forcing his opponent back, beating it up, while the others were still struggling with theirs. They weren't oppressed by their opponents, but they didn't have the complete advantage like in Grey's case.
Klaus' defense made him a hard nut to crack, Reynolds and Alice's speed made them difficult to get a hold of. They kept attacking the Phoenixes, but these Phoenixes were also just as fast as they dodged most of the attacks coming their way.
Other than Grey who was having a field day, the rest were in a real tussle.
In no time, Grey managed to defeat his opponent. The Phoenix, after a long battle, was taken down by Grey and it soon turned into elemental particles that started to merge with Grey.
Grey wanted to move away, but he sensed that it was good. He didn't dodge it and allowed his body to be covered by the particles. After a few seconds, he absorbed all there was to be absorbed.
"Looks like I can't help them." He muttered after absorbing the elemental particles.
If he helps the others out, he might get a share in these spectacular particles. He didn't want his friends to miss out on this, and from the looks of things, he knew they would undoubtedly win.
"So long as they don't make any mistakes, they will be good."
Void suddenly appeared on his shoulder, "Defeated yours?"
"Light work, you?" Grey asked.
"Yeah. The particles are great stuff. Take more if you can." Void advised and vanished.
'Where are you going?' Grey had a bad premonition.
'I'm going to steal a little from their reserves. They won't even know.'
Void's voice sounded in Grey's ears and Grey felt like he had been struck by lightning.
'Fuck! Void don't steal anything! Wait until I've seen the array!' He panicked.
He didn't know much about the array, but he was afraid they might be kicked out if Void was caught stealing.
His intention hadn't been met yet, there was no way he was going to leave without checking out the array. As long as he could get a sense of the array, he would be able to understand a few things from it.
He had been studying the symbols he saw in the secret realm he visited the last time with the Giants. Although he hadn't been able to understand much from it, the few things he had understood were breathtaking. His eyes have been opened to another dimension of array formations he never knew was possible. If he could learn this as well, he would truly advance in his studies of formations.
He was still thinking on how to stop Void when the young lady and her group arrived.
They managed to get through the volcano after some minutes.
Seeing Grey standing idle, the young lady understood what happened, but she didn't want to believe it.
"Where's the Phoenix?"
