Chapter 518: Hunt You Down For The Rest Of Your Life
"We are special people who can reanimate the dead, making them do our bidding," The man stated proudly.
"Reanimate the dead, as in bringing them to life?" Grey asked.
His curiosity was piqued when the man said they could reanimate the dead. It was common knowledge that once someone dies unless they keep a strand of their consciousness just like what the Chaos God did, they would be gone forever. But if there was a way to tackle death, then it would be an unbelievable discovery.
"Not exactly, it's more like bringing an empty shell, then using them to fight. They would still have the strength they possessed while they were alive, only without a consciousness," The man explained.
Grey was stunned by this discovery, this was the first time he was hearing about something like this, so it was natural that he found it somewhat intriguing. But after hearing the proper explanation, he felt it was an evil skill.
Personally, he wasn't the type who judged people on how they gained their strength, but since it involved stealing the corpse of people, he wasn't interested in learning it.
"Such a dishonorable way to live," Grey commented as soon as the man finished speaking.
"What? I took my time to tell you about us and this is what you say?" The man asked, irked by Grey's words.
"I might not be the most moral person, but I understand that using the corpses of people to fight is a cowardly method to begin with. Given how you obtained the corpses as well, it is even more dishonorable," Grey said, his expression was one of disgust.
"Hmph! What you feel doesn't matter, it's not like you'll live any longer," The man snorted angrily.
Grey lips curved upwards, he had already accomplished what he wanted, so there was no need to be scared anymore.
"Heh, with the likes of you? Impossible," He scoffed, further irritating the man.
Swoosh!
The corpses moved, attacking Grey from all sides.
Grey smiled when he saw this.
Boom!
'It's been a while I've used this, unfortunately, I'm not fighting,' Grey said to himself before vanishing.
As much as he wanted to keep Void's elemental grade a secret, he knew staying here was no different from a death wish. Even with the Fusion State, he couldn't go against a single Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalist, much less three Peak stage Overlord Plane Elementalists.
Boom!
The corpses attacked again, but Grey was long gone.
"Damn it! Where did he go?" The man yelled angrily, kicking the rock close to his foot.
"He's also a Space Elementalist, he would make a fine piece in my collection,'' The man laughed before waving his hand.
The corpses flew back to the coffins before the coffins closed shut with a 'bang'. He kept the coffins in his storage ring before moving in the direction of the city.
A smile on his face.
'Hehe, this kid thinks he can escape after catching my eyes?' The man licked his lips as his eyes turned into a slit as he smiled maliciously.
Liore City.
Grey appeared a hundred and fifty meters away from the gate leading to the city.
'*Sigh* We should be fine here. Come, we need to find out more about necromancers,' He said to Void as they hurried towards the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he felt a cold gaze on him. He paused, turning around, his eyes met with the cold eyes of Sylvia.
"Where are you going? I was just about to come to find you," Sylvia asked while walking closer to him.
"I'm heading to the city library, there's something I want to find out," Grey replied before realizing something, he turned to look at Sylvia, "Do you know about necromancers?"
"Huh?" Sylvia was caught off guard by his question.
The crowd around who were walking into the city turned to look at Grey suspiciously.
"Necr…" Grey was about to say something again before Sylvia closed his mouth.
"Not here," She said before dragging him outside the city.
….
Outside the city.
"How did you find out about necromancers?" Sylvia asked coldly, her expression was different from how she usually looked.
"I met one a few minutes ago, I was only able to escape after using a secret technique," Grey explained.
"What?!" Sylvia exclaimed, drawing the attention of the people who were walking into the city.
Grey told her about his encounter with the skinny man, and also his narrow escape. Of course, he removed the part about Void's elemental grade.
"Where?" Sylvia asked seriously.
"In that… ah…" Grey exclaimed unconsciously when he noticed he was currently off the ground.
He was in the middle of pointing out the location to Sylvia, but she picked him up, taking him along.
All Grey could hear was the sound of them breaking through the wind at an unimaginable speed. He could b?r?ly see anything on the way.
They soon disappeared into the forest, heading in the direction where Grey was previously cultivating.
A minute later.
Sylvia stopped mid-air, looking below them.
The skinny man could be seen moving through the trees quickly.
Buzz! Bang!
Sylvia attacked the moment she caught sight of him.
The trees below them were quickly shattered to pieces.
She flew down, with Grey in tow, heading towards where the man was hiding.
"Come out, you can not hide from me," Sylvia said before striking the ground ten meters away with her lightning.
"Ah!"
A scream of pain rang out, and a frail figure was sent flying.
Bang!
The figure crashed into an already broken tree, shattering it completely.
"You foul man, this is your end," Sylvia said, eyes glittering with lightning.
"Wait, wait, I have a huge secret to tell you," The man said, coughing out blood as he hurried to speak.
"There's nothing you have to say that I'm interested in," Sylvia replied before sending out an attack.
"Damn you! Boy, heed my words, we shall hunt you down for the rest of your life," The man said, and just before Sylvia's lightning attack could touch him, he exploded, turning into a black mass that shot towards one person, Grey.
