Chapter 166 - What Did They Do To You?
Splat!
A greenish gooey liquid landed on a tree and surprisingly opened a hole in the tree with smoke coming from the sides of the tree.
"Shit! It also has corrosive effects?" Grey could be seen running towards the tree that was hit by the gooey liquid, and he could not help but look at it.
The greenish gooey liquid was initially aimed at him, but being quick, he managed to evade it and it hit the tree, and to his greatest surprise, the greenish gooey liquid had a corrosive effect.
Croak!
Two frogs could be seen following closely behind him, while multiple other beasts could be heard from some distance away, they were all chasing after the same person, Grey.
'Why are they following me, what did I do?' Grey asked himself while creating an inscription.
He felt there must be a reason why the beasts were chasing after him, but he couldn't think of an that could be the cause of it.
One of the frogs following behind him suddenly opened its mouth, and its pink tongue shot straight at Grey.
Void who was on the lookout instantly sent a lightning bolt at the tongue.
Buzz!
The lightning bolt made contact with the frog's unprotected tongue and sent a stream of lightning straight into the body of the frog.
The frog retracted its tongue and wailed in pain while also trembling continuously, it also temporarily stopped in place, unable to move for the time being.
Void seeing that he got one of them, laughed happily, especially at the sight of the frog quivering repeatedly. Though he knew the frog wouldn't die from the shock, it was still satisfying to watch.
'What's so funny?' Grey asked when he heard Void's laughter.
'I just electrocuted one...' Void told Grey what happened.
'Well, that's good, now, we need to get the other one off our backs.' said Grey.
He had tried creating some distance between them, but the frogs were not falling behind, rather, they were slowly catching up to him. If the chase continued this way, then they would definitely catch up with him.
Had there been only these two beasts, then he would have already stopped and tried to fight against them. Even though it wouldn't be easy, he was sure he would be able to defeat them, with the help of Void that is.
Grey was currently running towards the south, and the beasts were chasing after him continuously.
'What did she experience that would make her react like this?' He questioned himself.
From the young lady's reaction, it wasn't hard to figure out she must have experienced horrifying things at the hands of the apes, but he couldn't think of anything. The apes would normally only kill their opponents, so for the young lady to react this way was quite strange.
"I will kill you!" The young lady yelled angrily and attacked once again.
Boom!
One minute later.
The scene of their battle was currently a mess, the young lady could be seen looking at Neil evilly, and the gates to the castle had been blasted to smithereens by her vicious attacks.
Neil was currently huffing, from the continuous attacks the young lady had sent his way. Even after blocking over eighty percent of her attacks, he was still injured and had suffered from multiple burns. But those were the least of his problems, due to blocking most of her attacks, he had suffered from the shockwave from when the two attacks collided, causing internal injuries.
Blood could be seen trickling from the side of his mouth, but he quickly wiped it while focusing on the young lady once again.
"What did the apes do to you?" He asked for the umpteenth time.
Boom!
"F.u.c.k!"
They heard an explosion, as well as someone swearing.
They both curiously looked in the direction where the explosion came from, and they saw a stunningly handsome young man running out of the forest, his short hair was fluttering in the wind, and he had a somewhat worried expression, but it didn't hide the glint in his eyes. On his shoulder perched a small pitch-black cat.
They were both dumbfounded when they saw the young man because he was someone they had seen not too long ago.
"It's him!"
They exclaimed simultaneously.
Grey who was running already knew there were people here, so he wasn't too surprised when he heard their voices.
"Oh! Hi!" He waved when he saw how both Neil and the young lady were staring at him.
"It's all because of you! You made them did those things to me!" The young lady screamed and charged towards Grey who was running their way.
"What are you saying? What did they do to you? Also, who are you?" Grey asked three questions simultaneously.
"I'll never forgive you!" The young lady yelled hysterically and completely forgot about Neil while charging at Grey.
Neil just watched from the side, his curiosity eating him up as he asked himself the same question, 'what did they do to her?'.
Unfortunately, the young lady had refused to tell even after he asked her multiple times during the battle. It wasn't like he cared or anything, it was just his curiosity getting the better of him.
