Chapter 158 - Is That What I Think It Is?
"Void, stop!" Grey yelled while chasing after Void.
Void heard him, but paid no heed to his command, he wanted the blade, it was shiny. Although he didn't know what he wanted to use it for, but since it's shiny, he wanted to keep it, he'll think about its use later on.
'Damn it! Of all the things to be obsessed about, it just had to be shiny things?' Grey thought angrily.
From how strong Void's obsession was with shiny things, Grey had already concluded he would never take him close to the castle in the Capital after they left here, otherwise, given Void's guts, he might probably steal the crown off the head of the emperor.
While the two were playing cat and mouse, with the cat surprisingly playing the role of the mouse, they didn't realize that they were being watched.
Growl...
The creature growled gently. It was currently hidden in the shadows, and other than its somewhat faintly glowing green eyes, none of its other features could be seen.
It stepped out from a hole that neither Grey nor Void saw in the wall facing the tunnel they passed through, it nimbly climbed the wall, making sure to avoid entering the area the fire covered so as not to be seen. Before long, it had gotten to the top of the lab, staring down at the duo who were still running around.
"Haha, where can you run to now?" Grey grinned widely while staring at the cornered Void who had his back on the edge of the wall.
With nowhere to go, Void was like a cornered rat, but even when he was cornered, he still refused to let go of the blade, instead, he held it tighter.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"Just let it go, I'll find you something shinier to play with later on." Grey persuaded.
Void shook his head while tightly holding onto the blade, he also looked around, seemingly scanning the area for an opportunity to escape.
"Come on Void, give it to me. You should know because of you we got careless." Grey said while walking closer to Void.
Grey's thoughts went into overdrive, trying to think of a possible solution to the matter. He tried using his fire element, and it worked, not just that but his other elements as well, and they worked perfectly.
"We should leave this place." He quickly came to a decision.
He had already acquired this blade anyway, and from the look of things, there was nothing left for him to search here, leaving this place was the best choice for them.
Just as Grey came to the decision, he realized Void who was still in a standing position was staring behind him, intently.
"Void, what are you looking at?" Grey asked, not daring to turn around immediately.
'Behind you.' Void said timidly, pointing behind him.
Grey's heart raced when he heard this, and he was suddenly gripped by fear.
Gulp!
He gulped in fear, the scariest thing was the unknown, now, the unknown was behind him, but he didn't want to know it. If he was given an opportunity, then he wouldn't ever hope to know it.
He steeled his mind, and took a step forward, after walking to the edge of the wall, he slowly turned around, placing his back on the wall just like Void with his head looking at the floor.
After placing his back on the wall, he gradually raised his head. The first thing he saw was the almost seven inches sharp claws that protruded out of the toes of the creature, it had five toes on each limb. Looking higher, he realized the creature had two forelimbs, and two hind limbs which were covered entirely with armor-like scales, there was also the long tail that was behind it, but Grey couldn't get a clear view of it from his position.
The creature had powerful muscular hind and forelimbs that were almost three meters in length, Grey wasn't even two meters yet! His head was slowly but gradually starting to face upwards.
The muscular shoulder of the creature was at least half a meter wide, and its neck was over one meter long, and positioned at the top of the neck was what looked like the head of a dragon, only without horns.
'Is that what I think it is?' Grey transmitted his thoughts to Void, not daring to speak out.
He was literally almost scared shitless right now. For the first time in his life, he was dead scared.
