Chapter 1440 Tactful Old Man

L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

The pupils of the old man dilated when he saw the spear coming at him. This wasn't a spear created by just Reynolds, as soon as the spear made contact with Grey's icy flame domain, the tip was reinforced, further strengthened by it. Not just that, but Klaus' initial attack also merged with the tip of the spear.

The old man wanted to move, but he knew it was too late. If he tried to shuttle through space, he would be struck with this attack which is very dangerous for him.

The spear hit the film, and just as everyone expected, it wasn't repelled by the old man, rather, it broke into the old man's space, heading straight for his head.

Reynolds went for the kill.

The man was already prepared and spat out a dark substance from his mouth which immediately covered the entirety of the spear. The spear started to wear down from the tip. The more the spear advanced, the more the black substance wore it down, dissolving it. In no time, the lightning spear was nowhere to be seen.

"Impressive, but you will have to do better." The old man wiped the black substance at the side of his mouth.

The old man just finished his statement when he felt a chill run down his spine, literally.

On his right shoulder, a thin hole could be seen and it was starting to not only freeze, but the chill was spreading across the man's body, in an attempt to turn him into an ice sculpture.

Reynolds' attack was just a distraction, the main attack was Klaus' ice needle he had been preparing even before they came out.

Klaus could prepare these needles and store them, but they are not as effective when stored, so he didn't like doing that. This ice needle is one of the strongest he has created so far, and he could tell that even if it doesn't stop this old man, it would at least slow him down, giving people like Grey the chance to attack.

The old man started to freeze, but Grey didn't stop there, he appeared before the man, his eyes glowing pale blue.

Grey didn't dare to let them touch him, he dragged the man into the attack.

When the man felt the heat, he knew Grey had drawn him close to the attack and he scoffed inside, he didn't do anything else, exploding with a fiery attack.

With him at the center, the flames spread out.

"Klaus."

Klaus was already close before Grey even mentioned his name, his domain appeared and a large sea of water poured on the man. This wasn't any ordinary water, but it was heavy water.

Against the old man's flames, Klaus' heavy water made short work of it, making sure there was no way the man could use the flames to harm Grey.

Grey wasn't hurt by the heavy water, but the ice left in the body of the man was riled up once again due to the heavy water and it started to act up again.

The man found it hard to keep both the ice and Grey's grip away. His mouth was closed by Grey which made it hard for him to speak, and so was his eyes shut so he can't look into Grey's eyes.

He was caught in a dilemma, but he didn't want to give up. He had noticed Grey trying to seal his cultivation on a few occasions and Grey had failed both times due to his resistance.

The old man thought about it and realizing there was no way for him to see and understand what's happening, he brought out a puppet, just for a short time so he could understand what was happening.

Doing this gave him the chance to see what was happening outside. He studied the location of everyone and without hesitation, the puppet exploded.

Grey was about to use the puppet against the man, but to his shock, the puppet exploded.

Grey feared for his friends' safety and let the man go. Making sure nothing happens to them. Their safety was very important.
