Chapter 442 - How Rude!
"Another one down, four more to go. No wait, five, if I add that guy who escaped as soon as they got here," The old man muttered to himself.
The bead was spinning continuously while absorbing all the blood that was coming from the people who died. Although all of them died from flames, the old man controlled the flames so well that they didn't burn the blood.
An Elementalist's control of their elements improves significantly after they get to the Overlord Plane. Breaking through to the Overlord Plane is like shedding to Elementalists, that's when they get a deeper and more profound understanding of the elements. This is one of the reasons an Overlord Plane Elementalist could easily seize control of the attacks of those in the Origin Plane.
The old man waved his hand, and a wall made entirely of lava appeared, blocking all the attacks of the group who attacked him.
All the attacks came to a halt, not moving an inch forward.
"If there were even fifty of you, I'd still kill you all with the utmost ease," The old man said.
He took a step forward and lava appeared around the four people, attacking from all corners.
Boom! Bam!
The four of them tried to defend against the attack, but the power of the attack was overwhelming.
Within a few seconds, all four individuals succumbed to the attack, screaming in pain as they died from the attack.
....
Grey who was watching from below the lava pool felt a chill run down his spine.
'So, this is the true power of an Overlord Plane powerhouse?' He asked himself, in awe of the overpowering strength the old man just displayed.
What was more alarming was that the old man didn't even seem to be putting in any effort. It was like a simple walk in the park for him.
On seeing that the merging process was halfway through, he jumped out of the lava pool.
....
The old man who had his eyes closed opened it instantly when he noticed a strange movement in the pool, to his surprise, he saw a figure covered in flames bursting out of the lava pool.
"You were here all this time? No wonder I..." The old man stared wide-eyed as Grey disappeared from view after appearing.
He was in the middle of saying a few words to Grey, but he suddenly disappeared.
"How rude, hmph!" The old man snorted before standing up.
'Hmm, this will be a challenge since I'm still in the process of merging with the bead. This person is smart, but it wouldn't be that easy to escape from this place.' The old man thought before sitting down again.
'Is he on the Overlord Plane?' He asked himself, he soon shook his head.
'No, I can't sense the aura of an Overlord from him. But how can he fly then? Is it a special technique that gives him the ability of flight?' The old man asked again.
The more he thought about Grey, the more interest he seemed to have towards him. It was rare to see an Origin Plane Elementalist who can fly.
Although there are some techniques that help with that, they are very rare, and only Wind Elementalists get that privilege.
'But that speed, it's not something someone in the Origin Plane should have.' He thought about how quickly Grey disappeared from the spot.
....
Grey disappeared from the cave entirely, appearing outside it. After appearing there, he brought out the plaque, looked at the direction Ellis was located and charged towards that side at his fastest speed.
....
The old man who was expecting to at least attack him while he was trying to escape was stunned when he didn't sense him in the cave.
