Chapter 300 - Showoff
"What's going on?"
A voice came from behind the stunned group.? ??
On hearing the voice, Reynolds heaved a sigh of relief and fell on his b.u.t.t, tired from the fight.
They were still trying to comprehend what was happening to their attacks when Grey suddenly arrived. His voice brought them out of their shocked states. They turned around to look at the arriving Grey who still had the cloak on. The cloak was covering the upper side of his face, leaving only his mouth visible to the group.
The leader of the group who was still rattled, quickly composed himself when he saw him. He remembered he was the one they saw some minutes back.
"It's none of your business," One of the young ladies in the group said coldly.
Grey was just about to speak when he heard the leader scolding the young lady.
"Mind your manners Bell. Although it's not appropriate to tell you this, we're a special unit in the Qilin empire's forces, we were sent by the Crowned Prince to apprehend this young man," The leader explained.
Had Grey come a few minutes ago while they were still beating Reynolds up, he wouldn't have told him this. But after the weird scene of their attacks vanishing into thin air, it wouldn't be nice to add another issue to it. He might be wary of Grey's strength, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him.
"Oh, the Crowned Prince," Grey muttered while still approaching the group.
"If I may ask, what did he do?" He stopped a couple of meters away from the group before asking with a smile.
"This is something that involves the Crowned Prince, if you're sensible, you wouldn't ask any more questions and be on your way," The leader replied coldly.
"You see, I'm a very nosy and curious person. Whenever I see something, I really want to know what it is, especially something like this," Grey said with a shrug before taking a step forward.
Boom!
"That's a warning, take another step and it will be your last," The leader declared standing straight.
"Oh, an Inscriber," Grey exclaimed softly before taking another step.
"*Sigh* It's been a while I fought, time to see how much I've improved," Grey sighed before casually stretching both hands forward.
Boom!
What followed was an intense energy wave with Grey at the center, the energy wave kicked up wind and dust in the area. Just as the group's attacks were about to close in on him, he vanished from his spot with a lightning shadow taking his place for a fragment of a second before disappearing.
Bam!
A human figure was launched into the air, followed by an ear-piercing scream.
Bang!
The figure fell heavily on the ground in front of the group of three whose attacks just landed on the ground.
"Huh!" The leader exclaimed in confusion.
When the dust died down, he was shocked to see the body of one of the young ladies who was supposed to attack Reynolds.
He looked in Reynolds' direction and saw the other young lady was impaled by a lightning sword which was on Grey's hand.
Grey pulled out the sword and the lightning around it died down. This was one of the few good elemental weapons he got from Aetonth's cave.
He stretched his body while the young lady's corpse fell to the ground with a 'Thud'.
"How... how... did... he moved so fast?" Johanne asked in dread.
It hadn't even been up to thirty seconds since they attacked, yet two people from their group were already dead. They even died before their attacks got to the target.
What sort of terrifying monster had they encountered?
"*Sigh* I've gotten rusty after so long," Grey shook his head in disappointment.
The group looked at him in terror when they heard this comment.
"Showoff," Reynolds said with a smile.
