Chapter 203: Going Through Two Seasons

'I knew you'd never return it.' Grey shook his head, not at all surprised by the fact that Void said he couldn't find the crystal.

Given how much Void loved shiny things, he was sure Void is just looking for an excuse not to return it.

'Seriously, it's not in my spatial storage. Had my storage been like yours, I'd have shown you so you'll see I'm not lying.' Void said feeling wronged.

The crystal truly wasn't there, but since there's no way for Grey to assess his spatial storage, there was no way for him to prove his innocence.

'Yeah right, less talking, more fighting.' Grey didn't believe a single word Void was saying.

Boom!

Grey's fireball was destroyed by the jet of ice Aetonth sprayed out.

'Damn it!' Void said in frustration before joining Grey in attacking Aetonth.

Unlike the first time, this time, Aetonth didn't fight the duo mid-air, but after dealing with Grey's fireball, he flew down, landing not told far from them.

The ground where it landed, was slowly covered by snow.

Roar!

It roared before its horns lit up, ice energy slowly started converging in the middle of the horns.

'Shit! Don't let that thing release that.' Void warned when he sensed the energy converging in between Aetonth's horns.

'No need to tell me that.' Grey shot a fireball at Aetonth, before sending out a lightning bolt as well.

Void on the other hand quickly shot out three arrows made of black mass at Aetonth's body, hoping to stop it from completing whatever it wanted to do.

Seeing the black arrows, Grey was slightly taken aback, before recalling that Void also had the darkness element. Sometimes, he tends to forget about this due to Void's heavy reliance on his space element.

When Aetonth saw the black arrows, it created an ice wall, as well as the previous ice sphere it used in protecting itself. It was familiar with the darkness element and knew of its corrosive properties, one defense wouldn't be able to stop the arrows from coming, two, on the other hand, might just be able to do the job.

Grey's attacks were the first to strike, the lightning bolt first struck the ice wall, but it was unable to leave any marks on it, before the fireball crashed into the ice wall, with intense heat.

Bang!

The fireball exploded, but the result wasn't what Grey was hoping for, although there were some slight signs of damage, it wasn't enough.

Void's arrows were the last to get there, the darkness element is regarded as one of the slowest elements, but its high damage made up for it.

The first arrow struck the same spot Grey's fireball hit, making it easier for it to corrode through it. With two seconds, it had managed to appear on the other side of the ice wall with the other two arrows going a little slower since they hit a more resilient part of the wall.

Aetonth sneered on seeing this and enforced the ice sphere which was its second means of defense, if this didn't stop the arrows as well, then it would think of something else to do.

Grey didn't stay idle, the moment his first two attacks died down, he had already prepared another attack, this one was a mixture of the lightning and fire element.

It wasn't fusion since the elements weren't fused, he only used the lightning element to bolster the speed of the spear he sent through the hole Void's attack had created.

The spear was made up of a fire spearhead, and a lightning body, quite eye-catching, and extremely fast.

Swoosh!

The fire-lightning spear made its way straight for the hole on the wall, as the arrows ahead of it were trying to open up another hole on the ice sphere as well.

Everything happened within a matter of seconds, from Grey's first attacks to Void's darkness arrows, then to Grey's fire-lightning spear again.

The duo's understanding had grown a lot over the time they've spent together, so they were very good when it came to working together.

Boom!

The fire-lightning spear struck the ice sphere, and a crack appeared from that spot, all the way to the other side of the ice sphere, running all around it.

Crack! Crack! Bang!

A second later, the ice sphere exploded, giving room for Grey's fire-lightning spear, as well as Void's three darkness arrows to head straight for the dragon that wasn't even up to two meters away from the attacks.

Unfortunately, Grey and Void didn't see what they expected.

Whoosh!

'Duck!' Grey yelled and dived to the ground, covering his head with both hands.

Void was more relaxed since he just vanished and appeared ten meters away from his previous spot.

When he looked up, he saw what looked like an Ice beam shooting off the energy mass Aetonth gathered between its horns.

'Get out of there!' Void yelled when he saw ice shards coming out of the ground as well, following the path of the ice beam, which had Grey lying directly under it.

The cold radiating from the ice beam which was just only a meter and a half above Grey was intense, luckily, he was able to fight against the cold after he circulated his fire essence around his body. He thought he could dodge the attack by just lying down, but he felt a chill when Void told him what was coming.

He couldn't stand up since he was sure he'd be frozen to death if he makes contact with the ice beam, with no other option, he could only roll on the ground.

Since they were in a forest, he also had to maneuver past the trees on the side.

All the trees that the ice beam came in contact with were currently frozen solid, with no sign of returning to their previous state any time soon, and ice shards could also be seen around them.

This part of the forest currently looked like it was going through two seasons at the same time, with one part being covered in ice and snow like it was winter, and the other part still having fresh green leaves like it was summer.
