Chapter 218 - Vengeful Grey
'It's almost like it teleported.' thought the expert from the Qilin empire.
The expert from the Qilin empire was a plump lady whose hair was slowly starting to grey. What surprised the lady even more was the fact that Void not only blocked the attack, but he was still alive. Although he was seriously injured, they knew he would survive. Compared to Klaus senses, theirs were far superior.
'The cat must be a strange magical beast.' She thought.
She had seen magical beasts that are cats, but almost all the powerful ones were big. Void on the other hand was small, too small to be noticed even. If not for his eye-catching pitch-black fur, people would rarely take note of him.
The plump lady couldn't sit still anymore when she saw Reynolds' Elemental Warrior. This group of youths not only had someone who had rare blue flames but there was also a high-grade summoner as well, the empire couldn't afford to lose them. It was time for her to intervene.
She disappeared from where she was sitting, quickly flashing past the entrance of the camp. Even though she was fat, she had no issues with moving quickly. She appeared mid-air but was confronted by an old man with long white beards who had both hands behind his back.
"Why don't we leave them to fate? If they can survive this, then they are true geniuses." The old man stroked his beard as he said.
He was overjoyed just thinking of the talents the Qilin empire was about to lose. Once this was reported back to the empire, he would be rewarded greatly.
"You shameless old man, get out of my way." The lady said while preparing to attack.
"Haha, I don't need to fight against you, all I need to do is delay you till they're killed." The old man laughed as the two started to struggle mid-air.
They were by no means close to the battlefield on the ground, and they also couldn't afford to allow their attacks to hit those fighting since it will most likely kill them.
The Overlord Plane experts from the Blue Wind and Stellar empires looked at the duo mid-air, but taking a glance at Void, they were more curious about him. But getting involved in the scuffle between the Qilin empire and the Azure empire wasn't a good idea, unless, there was something in it for them.
______
On Grey's side.
Reynolds' Elemental Warrior was fighting against the guard in the Sixth stage, and it was surprisingly gaining the advantage. It was in the Fifth stage, but its true strength was in the Sixth stage. Against someone in the Sixth stage, it naturally shouldn't be able to quickly overpower them, but it seems like this guy's elemental grade wasn't that high. His elemental grade was probably orange, hence him being weaker compared to those with purple or blue elemental grades.
Whenever anyone close to him was hurt, his vengeful side comes out. People might hurt him and he'll let them go, well, that was on the premise they didn't show any killing intent. But messing with those close to him means incurring his wrath.
He was currently quickly making two inscriptions mid-air while also preparing a powerful fire spear that he shot straight at the guard who was fighting against the Elemental Warrior.
Grey closed his hand, and the earthen hand closed as well.
"Stop him!" The guard in the Seventh stage who was originally coming in Grey's direction attacked.
But Reynolds was quick to react as he sent the Elemental Warrior to block the attack.
"No..." The guard who was held by the hand screamed in fear when he sensed the hand closing.
He was already too weak from the pain he was feeling in his leg, he still hadn't realized his leg was gone. The pain he was feeling made it too hard for him to previously think properly, but now, the fear of death woke him up.
His scream soon came to an end as his body was crushed by the large earth hand. Blood was slowly dripping out from the hand that crushed him before it crumbled to the ground.
Grey's bloodshot eyes turned to the other guard who was held up by the Elemental Warrior.
The guards from the two empires which were watching the battle all gasped when they saw his eyes. Those were the eyes of a killer. What left them astounded was that it hadn't even been up to fifteen seconds since Grey joined the battle, yet, he had already killed one person. This was the first kill in the battle, and the one who did the killing was the one whom everyone thought would be the first to die.
The leader from the Qilin empire was filled with joy, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Since Grey could kill that guard at the Sixth stage, it meant he had a chance against the other one who was in the Seventh stage.
The leader from the Azure empire on the other hand couldn't believe what just happened.
"How could he be so strong?" He asked in shock.
Now he understood why Grey's firewall was able to stop his water snake for some time, it was overpowered!
The leader from the Qilin empire attacked more fervently, compared to before, he was more motivated now.
_____
In the sky.
The two experts who were previously fighting stopped and looked at each other, they were slightly taken aback on seeing that Grey was actually able to almost one-shot someone who was two stages above him. Had the spear been aimed at the guard's head, then Grey would have killed him in one strike.
"Hmph! He won't survive past today." The old man snorted coldly.
"Haha, watch as he kills your guards." The plump lady's cheek vibrated as she laughed.
If Grey and the Elemental Warrior could kill another guard, then the result of the battle was fixed.
