Chapter 1434 Of No Help
"What do we do now?" Aries asked, knowing the severity of the situation.
"Take a look at them, if you recognize them from your Faction." Grey removed the cloak of each of the trio.
When Aries saw their faces, a gasp of shock left her mouth.
"I know them. They are from one of the average Families connected to the Phoenix Faction. They've been members of the Phoenix Faction for hundreds of years and each generation has Elders in the Faction." Aries answered.
"Then we know this might have something to do with that Family." Grey said, he paused and asked, "Is there anyone else within the same generation as these guys?"
Aries thought for a while before answering, "Yes, there's a man. He's different from the rest of them, always alone. He rarely has dealings with our Faction. There were rumors that he's unstable, mentally, but all the times he has come into crowded places, he always acts normal which debunked the rumors."
"There's a good chance he's the one behind this. Let's all hope he is the one. If not, I won't be able to assist with it since it will become a matter of your Faction." Grey said after some moments of silence, there was only so much he could do. Being able to find out something like this was already exceptional, there's nothing else he needed to bother himself with.
This was a serious matter and if not handled properly, it might cause the destruction of the Aurora Continent. A Necromancer with such an ability should not be allowed to have any form of contact with Gnomes, if not, humans would be finished.
This is something everyone present is aware of and wouldn't want to happen. However, if the opponent is already at the Sovereign Plane, there is nothing Grey can do. Fighting such an opponent in his current state is nothing more than a suicide attempt.
"He's on the same level as these guys. But I feel he's stronger than them." Aries replied, she too was deeply worried. Just how many people from her Faction were under control of this person.
"I know where he is, let's head back to the town."
The group went back to the town.
It didn't take more than a minute or two before they got back to the town. It was just as peaceful as it was when they left. They didn't cause any commotion, so there was nothing that alarmed the townspeople.
Grey followed Void's directions and soon arrived at where the shadow was said to be hiding.
Void appeared on Grey's shoulder, "It's there."
Grey nodded to Void's words and walked into the building. He didn't hide his aura, nor did he hide the three people he had captured.
When the shadow saw Grey walk into the building with those three floating behind him, the shadow was surprised.
"I always knew you were a threat that should've been dealt with." The man said.
"Don't flatter me." Grey said with a smile, before asking, "How were you able to achieve something so incredible?"
Grey couldn't deny the fact that although it was insidious to control people, it was nevertheless incredible. Being able to make others do your will without killing them and keeping them at their complete strength was an amazing thing to achieve.
"You want to learn it? I can teach you if you want." The man replied.
"I want to understand something, are you the real person or are you still under control by someone else?" Grey asked.
Another voice replied, "What does that have to do with you? You little cunt!"
"Well, that settles that. You're under control I see." Grey came to the conclusion of the man being under control.
"Haha, you think I'm under control? But I'm not, this is me." The voice said, and then the man's voice reverted back to the way it previously was, "And this is also me."
Grey was stunned when he heard the two voices saying this is me, for some reason, as impossible as it may seem, he believed the voices. It was almost like the voices were two separate people stuck in one body.
"I think we need to have a long conversation, let's get out of here, shall we?" Grey asked.
The man looked at Grey and then at the people behind him, "Bring those friends of yours, I don't mind turning them into something really nice. They might be of use for your practice."
Grey laughed, "Don't worry, I'm a fast learner, I won't need them. Besides, I have you."
The man laughed and his figure disappeared into a smoke.
Grey could sense where he went and disappeared, going after him. Before he left, he said to the others, "Don't worry about me. Make sure these guys don't die. I'll see what I can do."
When Grey's voice sounded outside, Klaus was the first to rush into the place.
"Fuck it! I told you guys he never thinks before acting. He's too confident in his abilities and it will put him in a lot of trouble someday." Klaus was annoyed at the fact that they were left behind by Grey.
"You know he always heads into dangerous situations alone to ensure our safety." Alice tried to defend Grey leaving them behind.
"Who is going to ensure his safety?" Klaus asked, annoyed.
"Don't forget Void is with him. Even though he acts lazily, he's still a very strong companion to have." Alice replied.
"I hate that he always does this. Every single time. It was the same when we were in the trial land and that Dragon woke up." Klaus said.
"We're not as strong as him, there's no point beating ourselves over it. Become stronger and he'll take you with him." Reynolds finally spoke up.
Klaus snorted coldly, "Not everyone is as freakish as he is. The only way I can be stronger is if I'm a Plane above him. Do you think if you're only two stages above him you can beat him?"
Reynolds gave a wry smile. As much as they want to help Grey, he truly is too freakish.
