Chapter 133 - Quinn's Death
____This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Grey who just prepared to attack had a fright when the phantom appeared behind Quinn.
'What is that?' He looked at it curiously.
But the next moment, he turned and jumped from his tree to the next one trying to escape the range of the attack. The scene of the first tree and the earth being consumed sent a chill down his spine. He didn't even dare to block the attack, he outright ran away.
Who would dare to block something like that? The speed at which the darkness essence was eating up everything on its path was frightening. Grey was almost sure if he set up a defense, there was a chance it might also eat it up.
Although there was a chance he might be able to successfully block the attack, he didn't dare to take the chance. What if he couldn't block it? Wouldn't that mean he'll dry up like the trees and the earth?
While running, he realized the attack was still spreading out. When he originally started attacking Quinn, they were just over two hundred meters away from the building. But, after Quinn's multiple attempts to escape, they had moved further by at least one hundred meters or so, he wasn't too sure about it though.
Now, at this pace, there was a chance the attack would get to the building. If his friends were caught up by it, then the consequences would be detrimental.
He quickly ran towards the building at his fastest speed, but the speed at which the attack was spreading was only a little bit slower than he was.
When he reached the building, he wanted to send out an attack and disrupt the cultivation of his friends. Even though the sudden disruption might harm them, it was better than dying, right?
Just after passing through the fence surrounding the compound, the darkness essence also reached there. But it stopped after moving two meters from it.
Grey hastily canceled his attack the moment he realized the darkness essence had stopped spreading. When he turned to look at the result of Quinn's attack, he s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath.
"Oh my God! How can this be the result of a single attack?" He exclaimed in shock.
Every single thing on the path of the attack had been destroyed. The fence had fallen, the few trees still standing looked like they were transported here from one thousand years ago. Grey was sure if the trees were hit by a little wind, they would fall apart like the others.
He curiously sent out a wind attack, and the result was just as he had predicted, it fell apart and shattered into bits.
"This guy's a monster. Luckily, the attack stopped spreading, or I wouldn't have forgiven myself if something were to happen to the others." Grey sighed in relief.
Had he not played Quinn to a state of almost going mad, then he wouldn't have used such an attack. Having this technique and not using it previously meant the technique couldn't be used lightly.

"Where are your friends?" Quinn asked.
Grey glanced at Quinn before looking around. He didn't miss the part where Quinn placed his hand on his bag and took it out moments later.
'I shouldn't delay any further. I almost caused a catastrophe for my friends when I played with him previously. I'm not making that mistake again.' With this in mind, Grey attacked.
"Don't think you can defeat me even though I look like this. You're a fool to think I'm weak." Quinn laughed and struck out.
Grey's fireball was met with Quinn's attack. The attack exploded, but Quinn's attack surprisingly continued moving towards Grey.
Quinn used a lightning attack, but for some reason, it had the corrosive effect of the darkness element.
While Grey was scurrying to destroy the attack coming his way, Quinn coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
'I need to stop attacking. The after-effects of this technique are too powerful, although it gives my other elements the corrosive ability of the darkness element, it also continues eating me up.' Quinn struck out another attack before trying to escape.
"Heh, like I'll allow you run away," Grey smirked after once again using a flurry of attacks to destroy Quinn's attack.
He had already noticed although Quinn's attack didn't decline in terms of strength, his body looked more dried up.
Blocking Quinn's escape route, he attacked him without hesitation.
Three minutes later.
Quinn was on his knees panting heavily, he didn't have any strength left to keep himself standing.
"If you know you're a true genius, allow me to recover and we'll have a real battle with no one else intervening!" Quinn tried to rile Grey up.
"Hehehe, I'm actually a shameless genius," Grey replied with a shy expression on his face.
"Accept your death!" He declared and attacked.
"It's you! How is this pos..." Quinn's speech was cut short.
His body fell lifelessly with his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness. The element Grey used in killing him was the water element, so he quickly realized Grey was the one who assaulted him, only, it was a little too late.
"*Sigh* It's a shame we didn't have a grand battle." Grey shook his head and went to search the bag of Quinn which had fallen some distance away from his body.
