Chapter 165 - Why Do We Always Get Chased!?
"Phew, finally, we're out of that place!" Grey breathed out a sigh of relief as he dashed out through the opening on the wall.
He turned to look back at the opening, and could still hear the painful roars of the quasi dragon, only, it was gradually turning faint.
The statue was yet to return to its previous position, so the opening was still there. The roars soon died down, and Grey curiously walked over to the opening and stretched his head into the opening to see if the array lines he saw previously were still there. He was quite curious about it but because he was escaping, he didn't get a good view of it.
Just as his head appeared on the other side of the opening, he instantly withdrew it and jumped to the side, falling in a kneeling position.
Whoosh!
A stream of fire came out of the opening, blasting into the wall on the other side of the hall, before spreading to the left and right of the hall simultaneously.
Void who was still savoring the moment of being able to use the space element once again, instantly used it when his tail was almost caught by the fire.
'What the hell did you do!?' He asked after appearing four meters away from the opening.
"Nothing." Grey scratched his head awkwardly as he replied.
The fire continued streaming out until the statue went back to its previous position after five seconds.
Rumble!
The statue made a rumbling sound as it closed completely, once again sealing the quasi dragon in the lab, waiting for the next time an unfortunate person would venture here.
"Wow! This had been an eventful experience." said Grey as he exited the Fusion State.
'Yeah.' Void nodded.
This had been the most heart-racing period of his life, and it was quite exciting. They almost died on some occasions against the quasi dragon, before he realized his darkness element was super effective against it, and then Grey jumped five stages and fought toe to toe with the quasi dragon, although he was overpowered sometimes. And just when they were about to exit the place, the quasi dragon which had kept its stage low all this while immediately started increasing in power, before being stopped by an array.
'Oh! What was that orb thingy you did that exploded?' Void asked when he remembered the time Grey used the fusion orb against the quasi dragon.
"About that..." Grey fell silent for a while, contemplating whether he should tell Void about it or not.
'Other than his obsession for shiny things, he's pretty trustworthy.' He thought.
Thinking of his experiences with Void, and how he had helped him on some occasions during the time they had spent together, he decided it was time to tell him about it. Although, he wouldn't tell him about the chaos God or the chaos element.
"I can fuse the elements." said Grey faintly.
A rumbling sound stopped Grey who was speaking midway, the sound was followed by intense shaking in the hall.
'What's going on?' asked Void.
"I don't know, but we should get... Oh my God!" Grey who was speaking suddenly exclaimed while looking behind Void.
'What? What?' Void asked twice when he heard Grey's exclamation and also the look of dismay.
"Behind you." Grey pointed with a slightly trembling hand.
Seeing Grey's reaction, Void quickly turned around.
'Oh my God!' And just like Grey, he exclaimed.
"Run!" Grey turned around and dashed out of the hall, heading for the exit of the building. Void who was able to use the space element once again, disappeared and appeared on Grey's shoulder, looking behind him worriedly.
'Why do we always get chased!?' He thought a little dejected by their predicament.
Behind them, there were at least fifteen seven meters long lizards and four two meters frogs chasing after them, but that was not all, more were still pouring out of the openings on the wall of the hall.
Grey and Void were previously at the middle of the hall, and there were about ten statues they hadn't checked, five on each side of the hall, and to their greatest surprise, all ten had openings, not just the one they entered.
Although these beasts weren't as strong as the quasi dragon, they were not weak either.
Grey was only able to sense the stage of the first four, and they were all in the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane.
The door to the building exploded, with Grey dashing out of it. He didn't dare to wait and open the door, so he just blasted it away before he got there.
Croak!
The loud croaking of a frog was heard two seconds later as two of the frogs were the first to appear outside the building, giving chase. The other frogs as well as the lizards all dashed out of the building, following behind Grey and Void.
Grey ran as quickly as possible trying to escape from the pursuit of the beasts behind him, but the frogs were actually slowly closing the gap between them.
''Damn it!' Grey complained when he saw this.
Had he not used the Fusion State moments ago, he would have used it to escape from them.
Although he could fight them one on one, as a group, it was impossible for him to fight against so many of them.
'Where are we going?' Void asked while looking behind them.
'Anywhere.' answered Grey.
He was almost certain that no one had been chased as much as he had, and even if they had, most of them would not survive it.
