Chapter 1284 Traumatized Gnome Prince
Chapter 1284 Traumatized Gnome Prince
"Why does this sound familiar?"
In the castle, one of the top figures seated asked with a curious face. For some reason, he felt he had experienced something like this before. It took only a second for him to recall why it felt so familiar.
"Could it be him?" His eyes widened. He didn't want to believe it, but he didn't feel there was another human that would be bold enough to do something like this.
"Stop associating everything with that fellow. He wouldn't dare to step foot into here." Another one of the Gnomes said, looking at the figure who just spoke in disdain, "Little brother, you have so much to learn."
The Gnome referred to as little brother was none other than the Seventh Prince from the Gnome race. He still dreamt of the horrors he faced when he was bullied by Grey. His father, the Emperor placed all the blame on him, and was even more furious when they were unable to get him, even after getting to the Elemental Venerable Plane.
"I don't think one person is capable of achieving such a feat. It must be the work of a group. Find them, I want to see who is bold enough to attack us." The elder Prince said to the people present.
They nodded and all left the castle, leaving only the Seventh Prince, the elder Prince, and a few others who were in the Late stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
"Brother, if he's the one, then this isn't a wise decision." The Seventh Prince warned.
"Don't worry, even if it's him, he isn't invincible." The elder Prince looked at his younger brother in disgust.
He was the Second Prince, and was almost ten years older than the Seventh Prince. He didn't think much of his younger brother, after all, they were opponents when it came to fighting for the position of future Emperor. Although the others were older, the Seventh Prince was quite talented, hence giving him some chance against the others.
It had only been around two years plus, but the Seventh Prince was already in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
The Second Prince has been in this place for almost eight years, and he was only at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane. At the current rate the Seventh Prince was advancing, there's a good chance that even if he doesn't catch up to him while he's still in the Elemental Venerable Plane, he would definitely catch up to him in the Elemental Sovereign Plane.
The Second Prince didn't think too much about what the Seventh Prince was warning him about, if Grey was in the Sage Plane at the time he caused his younger brother's trauma, he should at most be in the same stage as his younger brother or weaker. Well, from what he heard, then he should be weaker.
He would be able to beat his younger brother, much less someone that is weaker than his younger brother.
….
While the Seventh Prince was a little worried about the mysterious killer being Grey, the Second Prince didn't care about it.
Grey and his group cared even less about what they thought. After almost two hours of not encountering any other Gnome, they finally met another one, this one, was one Grey was all too familiar with.
This Gnome was the other Gnome that tried attacking him in the lower realm.
"It's you!" The Gnome was stunned beyond words.
"Of course, how are you doing?" Grey asked with a smile.
When he sensed the Gnome's cultivation stage, he shook his head in disappointment, "Still in the Fifth stage."
The Gnome was taken aback when he heard Grey's words. He didn't know why Grey would tell him such a word.
"I'll enjoy killing you. The rewards placed on your head is very tempting." The Gnome didn't think too much and charged at Grey.
Since he was aware of Grey's ability to cut off their links to the puppets, he didn't try to bring it out, he just felt there was no need.
He attacked, but to his surprise, he was sent flying with one attack from Grey, who stopped the others from intervening.
"Now, tell me where your hideout is." Grey walked over to the Gnome who still hadn't been able to comprehend what just happened. He didn't know when Grey attacked him.
"You… how did you do that?" He asked in shock.
"What?" Grey asked and punched out again, "This?"
The young man was sent flying once again. He wasn't even able to defend himself.
Grey appeared in front of him and attacked once again, asking the same question, while punching him. After he was done with his Gnome punching bag, he stopped and finally focused on what he wanted to find out.
"Oh right, where is your hideout located?" He forgot to ask the important question because he was too caught up with beating the hell out of the Gnome.
The Gnome didn't understand what was happening, he had been beaten black and blue, yet he still couldn't understand how it was possible. Yes, he wasn't able to defeat Grey the last time, but it was all due to the short time he could spend there, not because Grey was stronger or anything. Now that they encountered each other again, he couldn't even defend himself against Grey. It was unfathomable to say the least.
"Not answering? Alright, I'll just kill you, there are others who would give me the answer I want." Grey said before sending the Gnome flying once again.
While the Gnome was still mid-air, Grey appeared, on his palm was a little mass of destructive chaos orb.
A great sense of crisis rose in the heart of the Gnome and the opened his mouth, unfortunately, it was too late.
The orb touched his body, and compared to the usual large commotion, there was no noise. The body of the Gnome disappeared within a second.
Grey sighed, but he soon sensed other Gnomes coming towards their area. It seems the slight noise from their battle alerted those close by.
