Chapter 1066 Are You Going To Protect Him?

After Klaus' plea, he decided to give Gilbert one of the communication devices. He still had a few with him, so he didn't mind. It wasn't like he was using them anyway.
"What do you think about his abilities?" Grey asked the others after Gilbert left.
"Average." Klaus replied.
"It's because he didn't show everything." Grey said. When they were fighting, the group were the main fighters, Gilbert was a little passive. They didn't blame him for this since he didn't really have to fight any powerful opponent except the middle-aged man who suppressed him. Only after Grey took over did he have an easier time.
Grey went on to tell them some of the things he saw Gilbert doing and their expressions changed.
"Did you figure it out?" Klaus asked.
He knew how obsessed Grey was with things like this, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I've been thinking about it for some time, but I've not gotten anything yet. Even Void is lost." Grey answered, "The only way is if we go to him."
"I'm not sure he learned it himself, there must be someone who helped him. As long as they can give me a tip or anything, I'll be good." He added.
"A technique that can absorb the impact of attacks and use it against the opponent. That would be a good skill to have. Of course, it would have its limitations, but it's not bad." Alice was a bit interested in the technique as well.
"You said his domain was special?" Reynolds asked.
"Yes, he has the earth element, but his domain is actually one of metal." Grey explained, "These metals aren't your average ones, each one is almost as powerful as a high-grade elemental weapon."
"So powerful?!" Klaus exclaimed.
"I feel it can be stronger. Also, they can be ignited with fire. It's a strange domain. If I had that, my strength would increase further." Grey said with a sigh.
"You're already so freakish, yet you want to have all the powers in the world?" Klaus sneered.
Grey had grown too fast, and he was still growing. What was frightening about him was that his strength didn't tally with his cultivation stage at all. Klaus and the others could fight across stages and they were already tagged geniuses by most people. Grey on the other hand can't only fight across stages, he could fight against multiple opponents who are a stage or two above him.
They all knew that this was the advantage he had with having multiple opponents, but it still made people frustrated just thinking about it.
Grey chuckled before saying, "You all know my abilities. Although I'm powerful, against a single powerful opponent, I might not be able to win. Take the Prince of the Gnome race for instance, I couldn't kill after fighting for a while."
He paused before adding, "But against multiple opponents on his level, it might be a different story. With all the things I have, there's no telling what the result would be."
Grey's confidence was unbridled. For someone who just said against the Gnome race's prince he couldn't defeat him alone, he still dared to say he could fight against two of him and the result might be different. His words contradict each other, but his friends knew that might actually be possible.
Grey could switch places with his opponent, against one person he generally wouldn't use this skill, but when fighting multiple people, this skill was frightening.
"I wish I had the space element." Klaus muttered.
"Hey buddy, are you sure there's no way for someone to be like you and comprehend other elements?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure." Grey shook his head, this wasn't something he could answer.
There was a possibility that there is someone who could do this as well. He didn't know if such a figure was in the Aurora Continent, but if there was such a person, he wouldn't mind sparring with them.
The group continued speaking for a while and Klaus suggested they went to bigger cities to have fun. It had been a long time since they went out together, and once they were separated again, there was a high possibility that they wouldn't be able to meet up for months, possibly years.
....
Pyrmond Faction.
The Faction Leader was currently staring at the people in front of him with a cold expression.
"You still haven't given me an answer, where did the boy go?" An old man asked, his expression was calm.
"I think the Middle Continent, I can't be sure. But that should be the only way for him to enter that secret realm." The Faction Leader replied.
"He killed my descendant, I need an explanation from him." The old man said slowly.
"Elder..." The Faction Leader wanted to speak, but was cut short by the Old man in front of him.
"Are you still going to protect him? He dared to kill a fellow Faction member and you are protecting him?" The Old man scolded, his eyes turning cold, "If not for my relationship with your Teacher, I'd have punished you for your actions."
Hearing the Old man's words, the Faction Leader shook his head. He never thought that these guys would call this Old man over because of Grey's matter.
Originally, they had stopped pestering him over the matter. However, they seemed to have been reinvigorated when the kill order for Grey was released.
Although the Faction was in decline lately, it was still a top Faction and managed to obtain the information.
They all knew of Grey's strength, if what the rumors said were the truth, then he was most likely the one. The Faction Leader was both happy and sad when he heard this. Grey was growing fast, it hadn't even been more than a year or so since Grey joined the Faction, but he had advanced so quickly.
Such a genius was worth protecting, but Grey's temper was not good. As long as he felt threatened by anyone, he wouldn't sit back and wait, rather, he would attack first, eliminating the other party. Even though it was a good mentality to have, for someone without sufficient backing, it was dangerous, too dangerous.
