Six minutes later…
‘Just a little more’
Grey told himself.
He was already starting to lose hope in the battle as his inscriptions had been stopped halfway countless times during the battle. But this time, he was already almost done, in another minute, his inscription will be complete. Then these people will get it from him.
While the battle was going on, something was taking place that none of the people there noticed. Grey’s blood was slowly flowing towards his bag like it was being attracted by a strange force.
Inside his bag, the previous pitch black egg was different compared to its previous appearance. Now, if one looks closer, they’ll notice vein-like red lines moving around the egg, it was like a moving blood vessel. Grey’s blood flowed in the direction of the egg and it in turn absorbs it. But there’s no way the bleeding Grey will realize the blood which was flowing from his body was moving in the direction of the egg.
‘Lightning Rain’
Grey used one of his strongest moves.
The trio was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the lightning, but the two at the Ninth stage were able to escape the range of the attack quickly. The youth in the Eighth stage wasn’t as fast as they were, and he was caught in it.
“Great!”
Grey didn’t think twice and sent an earthen spear towards his opponent.
His current motive was simple, and that was to, kill these people. The thought of letting them go if he were to defeat them had already far left his head. He already noticed the killing intent from them, since they want to kill him, why would he let them go if he had the chance.
When he started cultivating, one of his mottos was, as long as you attempt to kill me, then I’ll kill you first. Showing mercy to your enemies is the same as hurting yourself, he learned that from the different books he had read which told the stories of some legends who fell because they decided to show mercy to their enemies.
He already marked them dead the moment he sensed their killing intent.
The youth in the Eighth stage was unfortunately hit with paralysis when the lightning touched him, so all he could do was stare as the earthen spear moved towards him. Fear and despair were visible in his eyes, he didn’t want to die.
Just as the spear was about to hit him, it collided with an arrow made of fire which came from his back.
The youth who closed his eyes opened them after some time. When he noticed he wasn’t hit by the earthen spear, tears of joy fell from his eyes. He survived, he had escaped death.
A smile appeared on his face after this thought flashed through his head. But then, his smiling face froze, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness as his body fell lifelessly on the ground, he was dead.
“Don’t celebrate too early”
Grey who noticed the youth’s joy when he realized he wasn’t hit said with a cold smile.
“How?”
The cold-looking youth asked dumbfounded.
He destroyed the attack Grey sent towards his friend, so how did he still get hit and die?
The other youth also stared at the dead youth with fear eminent in his eyes.
‘Who attacked him?’
At the thought of this, he quickly looked around but still couldn’t find anyone.
Grey stared at the two stunned youths and his smile grew colder.
“This place is really fitting for a burial ground. Only, it won’t be mine”
He said as he launched himself towards them, above him was a silver symbol.
