Chapter 152 - Size Doesn't Matter
After seeing the tall youth surrounded, Grey didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly fled the scene with fewer 'escorts' compared to when he came to this place. If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid the Purple Horned Lightning Apes would come for him after killing the tall youth. After all, the only reason he brought up the suggestion to them was so that he could create a better opportunity for him to escape.

'How many are following us?' Grey asked after running for about ten minutes away from his previous location.
While running, he didn't have time to check out how many Apes followed him since he focused on leaving that area first, all he knew was that one of them was a Purple Horned Lightning Ape in the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane.
'Six. One Purple Horned and five Silver Horned' said Void.
Since he was sitting in Grey's shoulder, he naturally saw how many Apes followed Grey when he was leaving that area. Although currently, the Apes were some distance away from them.
'So, what's the plan now?' Void asked excitedly.
'Taking them out.' Grey replied.
After being chased for so long, he held a little grudge against the Apes, but the real reason he wanted to fight against them was that he hadn't fought against them before, and lightning attribute beasts are quite rare, so he wanted to test out how strong they were.
'Well, that's boring. How about we go steal something else?' Void suggested.
'No.' Grey refused instantly.
'Can you hold off the five Silver Horned Lightning Apes coming our way?' He asked Void.
Since he wanted to check out their strength, he naturally wanted to fight against the strongest one, if the Silver Horned Lightning Apes weren't kept in check, then they would interfere with his fight.
'For a while.' Void replied after a brief wait.
His strength had also seen an increase over the past two months, but he was still only a Peak Early-stage Rank Four magical beast which according to the human system, he was at the Third stage of the Origin Plane.
Grey still hadn't gotten used to the system of magical beasts, he still preferred using the human system even after being corrected by Void on multiple occasions.Plunge into the depths of Nøv€lß¡n, where information dwells.
Their huge bodies rushed through the forest quickly.
Void instantly sent out an attack that blocked the path of the incoming Apes. He disappeared, and appeared in front of the Apes, staring at them.
When the Apes saw a small cat appearing in front of them, they were a little stunned since the size difference between them was massive. Void was like a small ant standing in front of a towering giant.
The Ape at the front looked at Void with eyes of disdain and stretched out its huge hand in a bid to slap Void against the ground.
This Ape was unaware of Void's ability since when Void attacked previously, he only attacked the ground. Also, other than the Purple Horned Lightning Apes, the others didn't know of Void's capabilities.
'Heh! It's underestimating me.' Void smirked and allowed the Ape's hand to get close to him.
Seeing that Void didn't even try to escape, the Ape felt even greater contempt towards Void. Being creatures that enjoyed fighting, it naturally hated anything that would give up without a fight.
Bam!
The Ape's hand connected with the ground, but it was surprised other than the hard ground, it didn't feel anything else.
It slowly raised its hand and stared at the place it just smacked. Other than its handprint, there was nothing else. Confusion was soon written all over its face.
'Hi.' Void appeared on its huge palm and attacked the unprotected face of the Ape.
Before it could react, the attack had already reached its face, almost blasting off its head. Most of its face was burnt to crisp.
'*Sigh* I really shouldn't have attacked its face.' Void felt a little heartache when he realized he had lost one of the horns.
Thud!
The body of the Ape landed heavily on the ground.
The other Silver Horned Lightning Apes were stunned, but they quickly regained themselves and attacked Void with lightning.
Void agilely dodged the attack before sending out an attack of his own.
If one looked at the battlefield, then one would realize that size truly doesn't matter.
On one side, an Ape that was more than double the size of a human was being manhandled by a young man, while on the other side, a small cat was single-handedly fighting against four Apes that were more than a hundred times its size if put together.
