Chapter 518 - Hunt You Down For The Rest Of Your Life
"We are special people who can reanimate the dead, making them do our bidding," The man stated proudly.
"Reanimate the dead, as in bringing them to life?" Grey asked.
His curiosity was piqued when the man said they could reanimate the dead. It was common knowledge that once someone dies unless they keep a strand of their consciousness just like what the Chaos God did, they would be gone forever. But if there was a way to tackle death, then it would be an unbelievable discovery.
"Not exactly, it's more like bringing an empty shell, then using them to fight. They would still have the strength they possessed while they were alive, only without a consciousness," The man explained.
Grey was stunned by this discovery, this was the first time he was hearing about something like this, so it was natural that he found it somewhat intriguing. But after hearing the proper explanation, he felt it was an evil skill.
Personally, he wasn't the type who judged people on how they gained their strength, but since it involved stealing the corpse of people, he wasn't interested in learning it.
"Such a dishonorable way to live," Grey commented as soon as the man finished speaking.
"What? I took my time to tell you about us and this is what you say?" The man asked, irked by Grey's words.
"I might not be the most moral person, but I understand that using the corpses of people to fight is a cowardly method to begin with. Given how you obtained the corpses as well, it is even more dishonorable," Grey said, his expression was one of disgust.
"Hmph! What you feel doesn't matter, it's not like you'll live any longer," The man snorted angrily.
Grey lips curved upwards, he had already accomplished what he wanted, so there was no need to be scared anymore.
"Heh, with the likes of you? Impossible," He scoffed, further irritating the man.
Swoosh!
The corpses moved, attacking Grey from all sides.
Grey smiled when he saw this.
Boom!
An energy wave shot out in all directions, pushing back the attacks of the corpses.
'It's been a while I've used this, unfortunately, I'm not fighting,' Grey said to himself before vanishing.
As much as he wanted to keep Void's elemental grade a secret, he knew staying here was no different from a death wish. Even with the Fusion State, he couldn't go against a single Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalist, much less three Peak stage Overlord Plane Elementalists.
Boom!
"Where?" Sylvia asked seriously.
"In that... ah..." Grey exclaimed unconsciously when he noticed he was currently off the ground.
He was in the middle of pointing out the location to Sylvia, but she picked him up, taking him along.
Swoosh!
All Grey could hear was the sound of them breaking through the wind at an unimaginable speed. He could barely see anything on the way.
They soon disappeared into the forest, heading in the direction where Grey was previously cultivating.
A minute later.
Sylvia stopped mid-air, looking below them.
The skinny man could be seen moving through the trees quickly.
Buzz! Bang!
Sylvia attacked the moment she caught sight of him.
The trees below them were quickly shattered to pieces.
She flew down, with Grey in tow, heading towards where the man was hiding.
"Come out, you can not hide from me," Sylvia said before striking the ground ten meters away with her lightning.
"Ah!"
A scream of pain rang out, and a frail figure was sent flying.
Bang!
The figure crashed into an already broken tree, shattering it completely.
"You foul man, this is your end," Sylvia said, eyes glittering with lightning.
"Wait, wait, I have a huge secret to tell you," The man said, coughing out blood as he hurried to speak.
"There's nothing you have to say that I'm interested in," Sylvia replied before sending out an attack.
"Damn you! Boy, heed my words, we shall hunt you down for the rest of your life," The man said, and just before Sylvia's lightning attack could touch him, he exploded, turning into a black mass that shot towards one person, Grey.
