1158 Not Like Necromancers
“This is different from the previous ones, are they alive?” Grey turned his attention to the girl, holding the figure by the throat and lifting it up.
He was able to easily block it from using any form of elemental attack and he had superior physical strength. The figure struggled but couldn’t escape from Grey’s grasp.
The girl looked at Grey, an amused smile on her face and said, “You’re physically strong, stronger than most Elementalists in the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.”
“That doesn’t answer my question, what are they?” Grey’s eyes turned cold.
The young lady smiled from ear to ear and replied, “Open it and find out.”
The other four figures were charging in Grey’s direction at this moment, just as they were about to get close, Grey tossed the figure he was holding at one of them, taking the two of them out.
With two figures out of the formation, the strength of the other three dropped once again. This time, it didn’t leave the Second stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, but it was clear to see that they were not the same way as they previously were.
Grey took a step forward and exploded out with insane speed. His speed was out of this world. Before the figure he targeted could react, Grey was already standing in front of it and attacked with a fireball.
He turned to the next one and sent out a blizzard that froze it, leaving just one.
The girl still didn’t show any signs of panic, she just washed as Grey was able to easily deal with all five figures.
As the battle progressed, Grey was able to quickly incapacitate three of them; he didn’t destroy them, but found a way to seal them. Although he didn’t want to show his light element out, he subtly used it with the help of an array.
The girl didn’t sense anything like the light element as she watched on.
Five minutes later, all five figures were unmoving, sealed with both an array and ice.
“To think you could incapacitate them.” The girl commented and looked at the figures on the ground, a bit disappointed.
“They were not a problem.” Grey looked at the sealed figures before turning to the girl, “Who are you?”
“Since you defeated them, I’ll let you in on that information. Besides, it’s not like it will be of any use to you anyway.” The girl chuckled before adding, “I’m more like a hitman. When people have problems they need help with solving, they call me. You’re wanted dead or alive, preferably dead, and I’m here for the job.”
“No hard feelings, I really need the rewards placed on your head.”
Grey frowned, he knew with what the Gnomes placed on his head, he would have a lot of people try to kill him, “You seem confident, I’ve dealt with your toys, do you think I can’t deal with you too?”
“They’re not done yet.” The girl pointed at one of the figures that was not sealed in ice.
The figure started to melt right before Grey’s eyes, in the blink of an eye, it vanished like it was never there. Not just that one, but two other figures did the same.
Of the five figures, three were nowhere to be seen, leaving just two that were sealed in ice.
Grey didn’t speak immediately and observed the two.
Crack…
The ice sealing the two figures started to crack open and with a bang, it exploded, freeing the two figures.
Grey’s eyes turned sharp when he realized that the strength of the two figures had gone to the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. This time, there was no help from any formation, it was their personal strength.
“Nice trick, but it will not be enough.” Grey’s figure blurred and he appeared beside one of them, just as he was about to attack, the figure reacted faster than he expected, managing to block the attack.
The figure was pushed back, but the impact of Grey’s attack didn’t affect it much.
Grey didn’t stop after this, he immediately vanished, going after the second one. The place he was supposed to appear exploded from the fist strike of the figure and Grey’s figure appeared from the void, his face was slightly dark. He barely dodged the attack, if not for his quick reaction, he would’ve been hit by the attack.
The girl laughed when she saw Grey’s expression, “Did you think they are like before?” She scoffed, “They are stronger, faster, highly sensitive. I don’t believe you currently have a superior physique to theirs at the moment.”
Grey’s eyes were cold, he snorted but didn’t say anything to the girl. He was not a hundred percent yet, even though he had recovered, he still needed a few more hours or possibly days to completely recover. Having a battle this intense would do him no good. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
He straightened his back and his eyes turned sharp.
‘Seems like if they are destroyed, their power would be transferred to the ones still alive. No wonder she wanted me to break them to check how they were made.’ Grey came to a realization of what was happening and knew things would most likely get worse for him.
His only hope of not being too stressed out right now was if he could successfully destroy the two at almost the same time. He didn’t know if destroying the two at the same time might work, so he wanted to give the other one at least a second before he would destroy it. This would give it the time to start receiving the power from the destroyed one.
The two figures attacked Grey simultaneously, each creating balls made from the darkness element. Black tendrils sprouted out from the ground, heading in Grey’s direction.
Grey used his fire element to cut them before blocking the darkness balls, while also attacking them with a lightning strike at the same time.
He unleashes his lightning domain on them and charged into it, covered in lightning, he looked like a god of lightning.
The two figures were being attacked by the lightning domain, but they still fought against Grey.
Bam! Bang!
Sparks flew everywhere as Grey engaged in a close combat with them.
The girl was astounded by Grey’s seemingly insurmountable physical strength. Even with the increase the figures got, they were still unable to overpower Grey when it came to physical battles.
If not for the fact that there was two of them, Grey would’ve been able to deal with one of them with just his physique alone.
‘If I can get his corpse, I should be able to create an undying monster!’ The girl started to shake from the excitement. Just the thought of having a weapon like Grey made her exhilarated.

These five figures were genuinely Darkness Elementalists, extremely powerful Darkness Elementalists while still alive. But now, they are nothing more than a mere weapon to the girl.
Grey fought ferociously with the duo and his lightning domain slowly started to fade away. Maintaining it for too long is not something he could do at the moment, and he also wanted to switch.
The figures were still fighting when a bone-chilling cold spread across the place. After Grey’s trip in the secret realm, his ice ability had increased by a lot, adding his freezing flame to it, it was a powerful combination.
Ice started to show signs on the body of the two figures, but they used the darkness element to stop it.
Grey switched to the water element, making it harder for the duo to fight against the cold. Their bodies started to freeze at a quicker pace.
The girl saw this from the outside and frowned but she didn’t make any movements. She stayed in the same position, watching on.
Grey drew close to one of them, and just as he was about to punch it, the freezing cold got stronger there, and the figure started to freeze up faster.
The other figure was heading in the direction Grey was, hoping to stop Grey. It was just about to attack when the flames in its eyes died out. It was almost instantaneous.
Grey appeared behind it with a sword, piercing it into its skull, killing it. Immediately after killing this one, Grey rushed back to where the other frozen figure was and punched at it.
It had already turned into an ice statue, as the glow on its eyes was starting to get brighter, Grey destroyed it.
