Chapter 1300 Killing A Peak Elemental Venerable
"Sorry, not interested. If I want to get to the God Plane, there are other ways to achieve it." Grey wasn't the least bit tempted by the offer.
He knew there was something blocking those from the Aurora Continent from getting to the God Plane, but that was still a long way away, he would cross the bridge when he gets to it, but for now, he didn't want to bother himself with it.
"This is why you humans never succeed. We came with an offer to assist your kind, but you rejected us. Like the last time, you will regret your decision today." The leader of the Gnome group said.
"Why are we even bothering with him?" The Gnome who lost an arm to Grey's previous attack asked coldly, he was incensed! Of everyone present, he was the only one who got injured from Grey's attack, he wanted revenge against Grey. To him, Grey must be killed.
"We can always grow him as a puppet. If you feel he has enough potential, hand him over to one of the Princes after he's dead." The man added.
Grey looked at the man who had only one arm left, "I should remove the other one, maybe you'll learn to keep shut when real people are talking."
The man's expression changed when he heard Grey's words. Grey was disregarding him, which was something he could not take from someone he believed is inferior to him.
"Kid, I'll enjoy killing you." The man licked his lips before attacking.
Grey smiled when he saw this. The time he was speaking with them, he had already set up an array with the help of Void and the bunny leader, now, all he had to do was to kill one of them before retreating.
He knew he wasn't strong enough to kill all of them now, so he wanted to kill at least one of them before leaving, this will make them more wary and they wouldn't want to cross paths with him for the time being.
His intention was simple: intimidate them.
This was also why he went to the castle for the first time to fight, he wanted to intimidate them and make sure they didn't dare to attack humans wantonly for the time being, but with the addition of these Peak Elemental Venerables, it wasn't achieved. But now, if he can kill one of these Peak Venerables with the many people present, the rest would be wary, after all, who wasn't afraid of death?
The man was charging over when Grey's figure suddenly multiplied. To the ordinary eyes, more Grey's appeared, but only a few people knew that it was just Grey's afterimages. He was moving so fast that before one afterimage could dissipate, another appeared.
He was not just using his physical speed, but he was also using all his elements that could boost his speed. His red lightning was faster than his silver lightning, coupled with his wind element, he was a frightening figure to keep up with, even for these guys at the Peak.
Before the others could react, Grey had already appeared behind the man, with a punch, he blasted the man into the sky. His fist was enveloped with the space element, a destructive form of it that when he made contact, before the force could send the man flying, parts of the man's body had started to slowly vanish, being eaten by the destructive spatial distortions.
The man screamed but reacted on time, using all he could, he once again had to sacrifice a part of his body to keep himself alive.
The man cut off the part of his body which Grey's fist made contact with, creating a hole in his stomach. One could literally see the other side from the hole.
The place was bleeding profusely, but he still hadn't dealt with the entire attack, Grey's fist contained immense strength to begin with, so the man was still facing the full force of Grey's aggressive attack.
After Grey sent the man flying, he was surrounded by the other seven men, this time, even the Second Prince joined in on the action. They knew they shouldn't give Grey the free reign, if not, they would all be in trouble.
Grey was quickly suppressed by their attacks, he was just one man, there was only so much he could do.
Seeing that they were getting the upper hand, the man, who was severely injured from Grey's attack, rushed over once again; he couldn't let Grey escape, not after everything Grey had done to him.
His arm wasn't healing, and neither was his stomach. The attack seemed to have another effect, stopping him from healing. At this rate, unless he takes in a top tier healing treasure, he might die.
Grey was bombarded by all their attacks, but he remained calm. With the help of the array, his speed had shot to a shocking level, so he was still able to at least dodge most of their attacks.
"Die! Die! Die!"
The man was screaming as he attacked in a reckless manner, all he wanted was to see Grey dead, nothing else was important to him.
Grey, on the other hand, was waiting patiently.
'It should start taking effect now.' He thought to himself as he took a short glance at the man. His space element was not the only thing in that punch, he added bits of the poison miasma that was in his body into it. The spatial distortions would not allow the wounds to heal in a short time, giving the poison miasma enough time to get into the body of the man and cause havoc.
As the man attacked continuously, the poison miasma was doing damage to him. His essence was being used up at a faster rate, and it was also strengthening the miasma.
The pain from Grey's punch hid the presence of the miasma, only when it was too late did he sense it.
He was about to unleash an attack when he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black gooey blood.
