Chapter 356: Unique Skill: Switch

Bam!

A silver panther slammed into the ground at the foot of the hill.

Grey slowly walked closer to it, just as he was stretching his hand to extract the core, he noticed someone jumping to the front of the panther, carving a hole on its head, removing the core.

He looked at the silhouette properly, only to realize it was the Lightning Elementalist from the triplet.

The Lightning Elementalist gave him a look of contempt, before moving away with the beast core. This panther was a Late stage Origin Plane magical beast, so its core was valuable.

Grey shook his head before he started climbing the hill. The hill was only around one hundred meters high or so, but the beasts that were on the way were all in the Late stages of the Origin Plane.

The higher they went, the stronger the beasts. There are even some that are at the Peak of the Origin Plane. If those beasts were to stay in this place for three to four more months, then they’d be able to break through to the Overlord Plane, becoming rank five magical beasts.

Others had already started climbing the hill before Grey started, he saw the couple were already within fifty meters away from the hilltop.

The Darkness Elementalist amongst the triplet was around twenty meters away from the hilltop, and the leader of the expedition was just below him by a few meters.

The number of beasts made the advancing difficult since most of the beasts from the thirty meters mark were at the Peak of the Origin Plane, and they weren’t few.

Grey could easily get to where the lightning tree is located and retrieve it, but he was waiting a little longer because of his deal with the young man. He wanted to ask the young man where he got the liquid that was in the pendant.

There isn’t a guarantee that the one in the pendant will be enough to heal Void, so if he could get a location of where more is, then he could head there personally to retrieve it.

As time went on, more and more magical beasts were killed as the people kept advancing. Magical beasts weren’t the only ones who were dying, people from the three groups were dying as they stayed there longer. It couldn’t be helped, the beasts were just too much.

Grey managed to get within the thirty meters mark, encountering his first opponent at the Peak of the Origin Plane. It was a Lightning Bull. It stood almost two and a half meters tall, and its horns were black, with silvery lines around it.

The bull instantly charged at Grey when he confronted it.

Grey sidestepped to the right, dodging the bull while using the earth element to raise a small three inches wall beneath the feet of the bull. The bull was easily tripped by the wall, slamming into the ground.

Grey didn’t bother with it, he continued advancing forward. A few people were already within ten meters of the hilltop, and the Darkness Elementalist amongst the triplet was already on the hilltop, fighting against two beasts at the Peak of the Origin Plane.

Due to the small distance between those still climbing the hill, their attacks sometimes hit others, causing and adding friction among the people.

Grey focused on dodging the beasts that headed his way, moving quickly to the hilltop.

It didn’t take long before he got there. The top of the hill was around twenty meters wide, with the place where the lightning tree was located being at the center.

The top of the hill was congested by so many beasts that moving forward seemed almost impossible.

While Grey was planning to make a move, he suddenly saw a red light flash by the side of his eyes. The red light quickly made its way through the beasts. Before any of them could react, the light had already gotten to where the lightning tree was located.

Grey smirked, he knew this red light was none other than the young man. Now he understood why the young man wanted so many people here, without them fighting with the beasts, there’s no way he would go through without being stopped, even with such amazing speed.

For the first time in Grey’s life, he saw someone that was almost as fast as he is if he went full throttle.

The young man stretched out his hand, trying to take the lightning tree.

“Heh!” Grey scoffed before taking a single step.

After his foot touched the ground, he disappeared from his position, but that was not all. His position was now occupied by the young man who still had his hand outstretched, while Grey was standing next to the lightning tree.

Grey grabbed the lightning tree, and the tree sent out lightning towards him, but he easily used the lightning element to deflect it before removing the tree from the ground.

After uprooting the tree, a red orb appeared in the hole, he could still see blood flowing towards it.

‘What if I try to refine it, what would happen?’ He thought to himself.

He quickly picked up the orb. Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed something below the red orb, it was red just like the first orb but was darker. Compared to the first one, it was well hidden, and he couldn’t even sense it.

‘Huh? Two orbs?’ He had a questioning look on his face, but he collected the orb nonetheless.

The young man who caught mid-air was left stunned, he raised his head, only to see a magical beast charging towards his direction, he hurriedly looked around and saw Grey standing in the position he was previously standing.

“How?” He muttered to himself.

Everything happened quickly, so he didn’t see Grey collecting the first orb, he only saw him bending down.

Grey turned to look at him with a smile. Other than the young man, no one else knew what happened because their views were impeded by the beasts.

Roar!

The magical beast closest to the spot where the lightning tree was previously located roared in anger. This was the strongest beast among the beasts here, its aura was already close to that of an Overlord Plane magical beast.

‘Crap!’ Grey cursed out when he saw the magical beast charging towards him.
