Chapter 1468 Traitor
Chapter 1468 Traitor
The treasure completely fused before Grey went to meet up with Void.
When the duo met up, Void could tell that Grey was able to get something good. After probing, he got Grey to tell him the item he got.
He only saw it for a second, but he could already tell that it was a top tier treasure.
"This is good stuff. Is there more?"
"None in the outer regions of the tribe. You will be able to get better things in the inner region, but I won't advise it."
The inner region definitely had better items, but the risk was higher. The Lizards they would encounter there aren't those in the Seventh Rank, rather, he would be facing Eighth Rank Lizards who are more deadly.
Void also thought about it, after calculating the risk and rewards he decided to give up.
Grey stayed with them for a few hours before heading back to the Lizard's region. He had to deal with those guys he kept in the cave. Some of them had to die. He didn't want to kill the guards of the treasures, but the Lizard who attacked Melmera definitely had to die.
He wanted to see if he could sneak into the Snake Magical Beast's tribe. If he could, he would kill the Snake that took part of the mission as well. The Snake was one of the main attackers that made Melmera's injury worse.
….
In the cave where he kept the guards.
All three guards were still unconscious, while the Lizard who gave him the information was still alive. The second he appeared, the Lizard heaved a sigh of relief and transmitted its voice over.
'I thought you had forgotten us.'
"I can never forget about you." Grey said with an evil smile, and just as the Lizard was expecting him to free it, Grey stabbed a large spear into the chest of the Lizard, stabbing its heart.
"The punishment for attacking a Dragon, a superior species, is death." Grey's voice was ice cold, like an executioner, he executed the Lizard while passing on his final judgment.
The eyes of the Lizard remained wide open and it couldn't say a word even after it had been attacked.
It watched Grey with a look of shock, not believing what was happening. The Lizard was large, but Grey killed it without it being able to even react. To be fair, the difference in strength was massive, and it was just recovering from Melmera's attack during the battle.
Grey looked at the three guards, there was no point in killing them. However, he didn't take them out of this place, he wrote the word traitor on the body of the Lizard he killed before leaving, his next target, the Snake tribe.
He wanted the Magical Beast's kingdom to know that someone was out for revenge, and he would kill only those that attacked Melmera. By the time the people of the inner court will find out about it, the son of the Tribe Leader would know someone is out for revenge, and live the rest of his life in fear of being killed.
Such a psychological torture is even more deadly than actively killing the Dragon. The Dragon will be on edge for the rest of its life, and only when he has confirmed that the person after him is dead will he be settled.
….
The Snake tribe.
Just like the Lizard tribe, the weaker and those with impure bloodlines are left in the outer region while the more powerful ones reside in the inner region. Grey's target stayed in the outer region, close to the inner region due to its strength.
The Snake was a golden horned snake, a powerful earth elemental Magical Beast that was very difficult to take down. One of its greatest attributes was its dazzling scales that were almost impenetrable.
Grey knew getting to it would be very difficult since it was very close to the inner region and he might draw the attention of those Rank Eight Beasts. As much as Grey wanted to take revenge, he wouldn't risk his life for it when he knows he can always come back to get revenge against the Snake.
After careful planning, he kidnapped one of the Snakes in the outer region, one he knew was dispensable and he used the mind control technique on it. Although Magical Beasts are different from humans, the mind control technique solely relies on the consciousness of the being, so be it human or Magical beast, as long as they have a consciousness, it could be controlled.
After taking over the Snake, Grey sent it into the tribe and after asking around, he found the Snake he was searching for. The Golden horned snake was very popular due to its unique traits.
Grey didn't waste any time as he hurriedly cooked up a story to lure the Snake out. Given the greedy nature of the Snake, and its urge to grow stronger, this was an opportunity it wouldn't want to miss.
Grey used this against it, and the Snake fell for it. It didn't even doubt the Snake that came to pass on the news of the treasure.
The Golden horned Snake sneaked out of the tribe with the other Snake, while making sure that they weren't being followed.
Grey was waiting for them a long distance away from the tribe. One of the reasons the Golden horned Snake didn't doubt the other Snake was due to the location of the place where the treasure was located. According to the way the forest was shared, only Beasts in the Mid stages of the Seventh Rank reside there. The Snake that came to call it was in the Mid stages, and there was no way it could fight all the others alone.
The deal was to share the treasure equally, but the Golden Horned Snake had other plans. There was no way it was going to give this Snake a share of the treasure.
