Chapter 898 I Made A Promise
Boom! Bang!
The fight continued with greater intensity.
Nathan was putting up a great fight against Grey, even Grey was a little taken aback that he could fight this much, given his somewhat cowardly nature.
Void was by the side, watching with the young man. They even occasionally spoke about the fight.
Grey was fighting with five elements, six if his darkness element was added, but only he and Void knew of its involvement, so Nathan felt he was using five.
'I thought he had only four, how can he have four? It's unheard of!' Nathan was freaking out.
Grey's abilities were getting more ahead of his comprehension. If things continued like this, he was sure to lose.
What was worse was that he couldn't keep this technique forever, the moment he exited it, he would enter a weakened state. At that time, even someone who just broke through to the Sage Plane could kill him, much less a freak like Grey.
His death was almost certain, hence he tried to escape multiple times, Grey however always finds a way to stop him from leaving, blocking his path of escape.
The portal was becoming less and less a good option since Grey placed himself between him and the portal.
If he wanted to get there, he had to get through Grey, something that was impossible for him.
Thinking up to this point, he quickly changed his mind. Since he couldn't get to the portal, he would head into the Lutra realm. Maybe he could find a means of escaping there. As long as he survived, he didn't care what he did. Also, if other members of their Faction came up, then he had some hope of getting them to threaten Grey. All they needed to do was to tell him they would report him to the Faction, which should stop Grey from killing.
Grey on the other hand had no idea what was going through Nathan's head, he continued his attack, while stopping him from getting to the portal.
Nathan suddenly made a quick turn and bolted into the Lutra realm, to Grey's surprise.
"Eh?" Grey was a little confused when he saw this.
His initial thought was that Nathan was trying to draw him forward and then try to get to the portal, only after he didn't see any signs of Nathan turning around did he realize what was happening. Nathan had given up on the portal and decided to seek refuge in the Lutra realm.
Grey gave chase and Void had to leave the young man by the portal alone.
The young man almost wanted to follow them as well since he was being entertained by the battle, but he couldn't leave this place, so he had to stay, unfortunately.
Grey was faster than Nathan, so he quickly caught up with him and they continued fighting. However, Nathan found an opportunity to run once again.
He started using Peak Sage Plane light talismans to increase his speed, taking it above his present level.
Against any other Peak Sage Plane Elementalist, he would escape without any problems, since Grey was hellbent on killing him, his fate was sealed.
His speed exceeded that of Grey by some margin, but that was all he needed to escape from him.
Grey didn't feel bothered by this, with a blink, he appeared in the location Nathan was. It didn't take long before Nathan realized something was wrong, he couldn't get away from Grey, no matter how fast he was. He even used a teleportation talisman as well, but it was useless. Grey still found him, to his dismay. This was something he never thought would be possible.
"Give up, you can't escape." Grey said, like the death reaper he currently is.F
"What are you?" Nathan asked with a horrified look.
"Death's shadow." Grey replied sincerely.
Nathan didn't even doubt it at this moment. To him, Grey was death itself, not even its shadow.
"You're a maniac!" He complained before using another teleportation talisman. He couldn't resign to his fate.
"No matter how much you run, I will find you." Grey's voice echoed in Nathan's ear when he appeared in another location.
Looking behind him, he saw Grey staring at him with an apathetic look. Grey's eyes glowed pale blue and Nathan froze for a quarter of a second.
This short time was more than enough for Grey, he shortened the gap between them and punched him in the chest. His blow exploded with a fiery blue flame that spread out an icy wind with it.
Nathan slowly started to freeze from the cold.
Using his fire element, he dealt with the ice and tried to run away, but Grey stopped him.
The blow he received at point-blank range had caused him severe internal injuries, and his present actions were a bit clouded.
Even though his vision was blurry at the moment, he still attempted to run.
"You can't run away, not from my hands." Grey said casually as he smacked Nathan out of a spatial tunnel.
With him having the power to stop him from escaping into the spatial tunnel created by those talismans, Nathan's hope of escaping was as good as gone.
Nathan breathed heavily, presently on his knees in a condition he never thought he would be in.
"Please, all this can be resolved." He begged.
After realizing there was no hope of escaping, he tried to beg.
"It can't." Grey's reply was cold.
"Alright, how about I cripple myself? You offered to let me go if I crippled myself. I want to." Nathan begged.
"That will be unfair to your friend. Besides, I already promised him that I'll send you over." Grey said with a playful smile.
"We're not friends, I can assure you that, We were only using each other. Now that he's dead, no one is as glad as I am. Please, let me go, I won't even resist you crippling me yourself." Nathan begged with tears already in his eyes.
Grey looked at the pitiful Nathan, "A shame a genius is reduced to such a level."
"How dare I call myself in the presence of a true genius?"
