Chapter 1442 Reassess Your Choice Of Friends
"A nice time to kill off a few Necromancers. I don't think this is the hideout that guy told me about." Grey deliberated on it.
If this was the hideout Lewis told him about, then there should've been Necromancers with weaker cultivation stages, but there are only five Peak Venerables present. Grey couldn't sense the presence of anyone else which also indicated that these were the only people present here.
There are Magical Beasts in the area, but they were all low leveled and weren't of any threat to him.
A few minutes later, Void returned with the man and his three siblings. The three were under the control of the man which was what Grey wanted.
"I didn't know there's a place like this in the region." The man looked around curiously. This was his first time being here as well.
This confirmed Grey's hypothesis, this wasn't the Necromancers' hideout he was planning to raid with his friends.
"Are you familiar with them?" Grey asked the man.
"Just him. The others look familiar, but I can't put my finger around where I know them." The man replied.
"Okay. The Elder isn't in his full strength, you should be able to handle him. I'll kill off one of them with a sneak attack, do well to kill the person that will appear on this spot." Grey told the man his plan.
Since these people didn't know of their presence, he would use it to his advantage and take out two of them with a single attack. If two of the five people present die from the start, it'll give their group the advantage over them.
His plan was to switch places with one of the men and attack the person close to that person. At first, he wanted to use a wide scale attack, but after thinking about the strengths of each of them, he knew a wide range attack wouldn't be able to kill them all, so instead of doing that, he wanted to focus all his energy on just one person, and he already had his target. A man that had short hair.
The person he would switch places with was a lady that was sitting close to the man.
The twins' job was to kill the lady he's going to change places with.
"There's an array here." The Twins said.
"It has been sorted. I've bypassed it. They won't sense it until it's too late." Grey waved it off.
The twins were impressed at Grey's efficiency. The fact that he left only a few minutes ago but he had planned so much and even bypassed such a powerful array shows that he wasn't a rash individual.
"Alright, let me know when you're ready.l The twins replied.
Grey prepared himself, thinking of the sequence of attacks to use to ensure the man dies before he can even react. A minute later he opened his eyes and said, "I'm ready."
The twins prepared to attack, also controlling their siblings to attack the position Grey was standing on.
"Attack!" Grey said and his figure blinked and changed to that of a lady.
The twins and his siblings didn't waste any time and attacked as soon as Grey's voice faded.
The lady who Grey switched places with didn't know what was happening until it was too late. Her eyes were wide open as the attacks of all four people rained down on her. Even with her Peak Venerable cultivation Plane, she wasn't able to react to such an unexpected attack from people of this strength.
This wasn't the only place an attack was taking place.
On the place the lady was seated, Grey suddenly appeared and his eyes locked on the man's eyes. The man didn't expect the person he was looking to change, nor did he expect to see such spectacular pale blue eyes. The eyes were the last thing he saw before he felt his consciousness start to freeze. Not just that, but he sensed a powerful attack on his body.
He wanted to move, but he found out that his body was stuck to the ground. The gravity in the place had changed from what it used to be, and he couldn't adjust to it in time.
The attack landed on his body, but that was not the end. More attacks rained on him and his eyes continued staring at those pale blue eyes before he finally lost consciousness, he was dead under the barrage of attacks.
Everything happened within a second that the others still hadn't gotten time to process what just happened.
They heard the attacks from the side where the lady appeared, and just as they were turning to look at what was happening, they heard another attack close to them. This was too dangerous.
Their attention turned back to the man Grey chose to attack, and they felt dread when they saw a multicolored orb tossed at them. Without hesitation, they all flew into the sky, retreating from the range of the attack.
"Haha, so easy." Grey's horrifying voice echoed in the explosion before he flew up, confronting them.
The old man who ran here was stunned to see Grey standing before him.
"You… how did you get here?" He asked, shocked.
"I'm a Space Elementalist. Do you think I can't track you down even with that trick of yours?" Grey asked with a sneer.
"Impossible!" The old man exclaimed.
"He's Grey Dawson?" One of the other two who survived asked with a cold look.
"Yes, he's Grey Dawson. The kid the Gnomes want dead." The old man replied.
"And you brought him here?" One of them asked, not pleased with Grey's visit.
"You don't have to argue, I'll be leaving soon. I just need him dead. You guys didn't offend me." Grey smiled, "Hand him over and I'll leave."
The twins and his siblings flew to Grey's side.
"Oh, and I have backup." He added with a cheeky smile.
The men looked at the old man, but the old man said, "You're still a kid, do you think you can trick us?"
"You would need to reassess your choices when making friends." Grey saw the eyes of the duo standing behind the man and said coolly.
