Chapter 1311 Is He Coming?
Chapter 1311 Is He Coming?
The man saw how the puppet fell apart little by little and shuddered at the thought of what might've happened to him if he were the one that was hit by the attack.
Grey's attacks were too powerful for someone who hadn't even gotten to the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane yet. Once he got to the Peak, it was unknown just how powerful he would turn out to be.
'He must die.' The man finally came to this decision. At first, he wanted to recruit Grey into their ranks, but now that he knew there was no way Grey would join them, it was best to kill off the horrifying threat to his people.
Killing Grey would come with a big merit for him and it might be just what he needs to break through to the Sovereign Plane.
Grey saw the determination in the eyes of the man and couldn't help but chuckle, he knew the man wanted him dead now, and would do everything he could to kill him now.
'A shame he's only realizing it now.' He said to himself.
The reason he felt like this was that it was already too late for the man. He had been able to figure out how the link with the puppets worked, so even if the man had come to the decision of wanting to kill Grey, it was not going to be possible with his puppets out.
These puppets didn't show a visible link, rather, it was a connection of spiritual consciousness. All Grey needed to do at the moment was to attack the spiritual consciousness of the puppets and the man would also be affected. If he could destroy the consciousness that was placed inside, the man would be greatly affected and might weaken.
The man was about to attack when he saw Grey's eyes glow pale blue. Before he could speak another word, he held his head in pain, part of his consciousness had just been frozen solid. He couldn't explain how it happened, but he knew it was Grey's doing.
'Fuck!' He screamed internally, but there was nothing he could do, the pain of having his consciousness forcefully destroyed is something that no one could bear.
Grey drew closer and attacked, using the poison miasma in this attack. The man managed to dodge to the side.
Grey's attack grazed the right torso of the man, and a little bit of blood came out. The poison miasma didn't get the chance to get into the body of the man as the man used the water element to create a small protective shield in his body.
He had been wary of Grey's attacks, so even while he was down, he didn't dare to slack off. The gruesome death of his companion told him all he needed to know about Grey's attacks.
The man retreated hastily and hurriedly tried to call back his last Gnome puppet.
To his shock, the puppet was unable to move back to where he was. He turned to look at it and realized it was trapped in an ice dome.
He was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane and had the ability to control the elements of anyone below him using the same element as himself. With a wave of his hand, the ice dome turned into water and the puppet was free.
Grey grunted before creating an earth dome. He forgot about this, but luckily, he reacted pretty fast, stopping the puppet from returning to its owner.
The man looked at Grey with cold eyes, he could already guess Grey's plans. Grey wanted to use the puppet against him while they were in the middle of a fight.
He is currently stuck in a dilemma, either he personally breaks off his connection with the puppet, or he gives Grey the opportunity he wants. These puppets were hard to groom and they consumed a large amount of resources, the thought of just leaving the last one like this was painful to even process. If he was given a chance, he would kill Grey this instant for incapacitating two of them.
Grey didn't feel bothered with the man's expression, he liked what the man was going through at the moment. He wanted to ensure he killed this man, and without any of the puppets, he was certain that he would be able to kill him.
The man took a glance at the puppet and without hesitation.
Boom!
Since Grey wanted the puppet so badly, he can have it.
The puppet self-destructed, causing a massive shockwave across the area. Since he was already prepared for this, the man was the first to retreat. Grey was a little slower than the man and was sent flying.
"Fuck!" Grey cussed out as his figure broke through the sky.
He could sense the aura of the man leaving the battleground.
….
On Klaus and Reynolds' end.
The duo had been forced to come out again when they saw that after only two minutes of searching the group was giving up and about to continue their original journey.
When they came out, Reynolds was the one who attacked this time. He unleashed a powerful lightning bolt that struck one of the men. The man couldn't defend against it due to sensing it late. After being struck by the lightning bolt, the man fell to the ground, unconscious.
In the same manner, Klaus and Reynolds had managed to take out one of these people.
When they left the castle, there were eight, at the moment, there were only six of them with fighting abilities. Klaus directly killed one of them, and it was unknown if the one Reynolds attacked would gain consciousness anytime soon.
They were about to attack when the Second Prince stopped them.
"Don't you notice a pattern in what they are doing?" He asked the others.
The others had also noticed it, but they just couldn't let go of the fact that Klaus and Reynolds were killing their companions.
"If I'm correct, they don't want us to leave and are delaying us." The Second Prince looked around, his expression changed softly and he asked, "Could it be that he's coming?"
