Chapter 1044 To Take The Risk Or Not

Grey was taken aback by their sudden action, but he didn't hold back and attacked as well. With his strength, what did he have to be afraid of? Not just that, his father was watching from the side, with someone regarded as one of the strongest experts in the Aurora Continent, it was impossible for someone in a higher Plane to attack Grey without him interfering.
With a punch, the old man who was charging at Grey was forced back, the others were forced back by a fire ring that surrounded Grey and started to expand.
They couldn't get close, but the fire ring was occasionally sending out fireballs. The inscriptions were also attacking at this time, making things difficult for them.
The old man who was pushed back by a punch rushed back once again.
Grey suddenly noticed the change in the eyes of the old man and couldn't help but wonder what gave him such confidence. From wanting to run away to wanting to kill him at all costs, even if he risked dying.
'Something's wrong.'
It didn't take long for Grey to understand that things were not as they seemed. He was alerted and he made sure he didn't make any rash moves, even when an opportunity presented itself in front of him to kill the old man, he didn't attack, instead, he continued to attack the others.
On the ground, hidden amongst the corpses around was a young man whose face was closed. He opened his eyes and looked at Grey and couldn't help but curse.
'Why isn't he trying to kill him, is there something wrong with his brain?' He thought to himself.
He had been trying to search for an opportunity to kill Grey, and the best chance was when he was attacking, trying to kill someone. He had communicated with the old man to give Grey such an opportunity, not just the old man, but the others as well, but to his surprise, Grey placed a ring of fire around him and hadn't left the center of the ring of fire.
Compared to his previous fearless self, he seemed to be holding back.
'Could it be that he sensed me?' He felt a bit confused. For a moment, he wanted to escape, but then his eyes opened wide, an opportunity had presented itself right before him.
Even though Grey didn't leave the ring of fire, he had been forced to get close to him, and he was flying above him. As long as he waited for the perfect time, even with Grey's space element, it would be impossible for Grey to dodge the attack.
After waiting, Grey was flying directly above him and he couldn't bear to hold back any longer, shooting out with unbelievable speed. He was using both the lightning and the wind elements to boost his speed.
Within a split second, he was already behind Grey, and with his hand covered with lightning, he stabbed it at Grey's head. He was still moving, so after stabbing Grey's head, his figure would pass through.
However, he felt no resistance.
"Uh?" He was confused by how smooth things were.
His figure passed through Grey's body, appearing in front of him.
Just when he was about to escape, Grey's hand grabbed him on the neck, and with a vicious tug, he dragged him back.
The young man screamed in pain as a large fire blade passed through his chest, opening a large wound.
The young man fell to the ground, before his figure hit the ground, he shot forward with his last strength, he wanted to escape. Grey was stronger and sharper.
Even some Elemental Venerables might not be able to react that fast, Grey not only dodged the attack, but he also counterattacked. This was a shocking thing, and he knew against such an opponent, he stood no chance.
For someone that was trained in assassination, once the attempted assassination failed, he would escape, especially after being injured by the other party.
The old man saw this as his cue, so when Grey was attacking the young man, he attacked Grey from behind.
The attack reached Grey the moment Grey's fire blade pierced the young man's chest.
Grey was forced to turn around, unable to chase after the young man.
Originally, the old man was the one who was supposed to be attacked by Grey, but now the situation was reversed, it still didn't change anything, as long as Grey died, it was fine.
Grey blocked the attack, but he was met with other attacks from behind.
He covered himself with an earth dome, blocking all the attacks simultaneously.
The earth dome soon shattered, revealing Grey who was hidden inside.
The old man was the main attacker as he joined forces with the others, trying to kill Grey. They all had a tacit understanding of what they were doing, so Grey was forced into the defensive for the first time since the start of the battle.
Grey didn't panic as he blocked each attack sent his way, even when some of them pushed him back, he didn't make any rushed moves, he didn't attack, only focusing on defending. As long as he defended well, he wouldn't have to fear that they would be able to defeat him.
The old man sensed how things were, but there was nothing he could do, Grey's defense was just too strong. He wanted to run away, but he knew he couldn't.
'If we group together and he uses that move again, it'll be difficult to predict who he would switch positions with. It will most likely be me. To take the risk or not?'
The old man was in a dilemma, one of the Peak Sage Plane Elementalists from the Dawson Family was on the verge of freeing himself from his already injured opponent, once he was free, all Grey needed was a slight distraction and he would take control of the battle again.
"Gather!"
The old man gritted his teeth and said. He transmitted his voice to the others, telling them his plan. They had to take the risk or they would all die in the end.
