Chapter 1004 In Search Of Victims

Grey soon located the way out of the secret s.p.a.ce, although it was a little harder than he thought, it wasn't beyond his capabilities. His only concern was that he could sense that there was something inside the place, but even after searching around, he still hadn't found anything yet.

He left the place and walked around, hoping to attract the attention of any member of the Gnome race. After staying for over one hour, he decided to head out and search for someone on his own. He felt maybe after not sensing the mark, some might have felt that he died.

He didn't journey far before the first member of the Gnome race appeared. The person was a young man who was at the Peak of the Sage Plane.

Grey had no issues with dealing with people at the peak, hence he quickly turned around and made a break for it. His plan was still the same, take this person into the secret s.p.a.ce and kill him.

The young man was elated when he realized Grey was still alive and immediately gave chase, in hopes of being the one to kill him.

Getting to the cave, Grey jumped straight into the secret s.p.a.ce. When the young man from the Gnome race got there, instead of rus.h.i.+ng in carelessly, he paused and looked at the place carefully before turning around.

For some reason, he didn't head into the place.

Grey stayed in the secret s.p.a.ce for around ten minutes or so, when he didn't see the young man entering, he was forced to step out once again.

As soon as he appeared outside, he was attacked by the young man who had been waiting for him.

Grey already expected something like this, so before stepping out, he had four defensive layers around him, even three Peak Sage Plane Elementalists would not be able to break through it with just one attack. But it wouldn't last more than that.

Grey didn't need it to since all he wanted was to make sure he was protected from the initial attack of the young man outside.

When the young man noticed that Grey was still standing after his attack, he looked at him with a mocking smile.

"What tricks could you possibly have up your sleeve that would make you risk your life by coming out again?"

Grey looked at the young man, noticing his calmness, he didn't panic. Whoever this is, he was a smart person, so he would naturally not be careless with him.

"I never thought I would see the day when a Peak Sage Plane expert would be scared of a Sixth stage weakling." Grey remarked.

"Only a fool would look down on his opponent." The young man replied casually, not embarra.s.sed by Grey's words.

He wasn't the type that would fall for such cheap trickery. If Grey felt that his words would make him chase after him relentlessly, then he was a fool. With his mind made up, to the utmost surprise of Grey, the young man from the Gnome race turned around and left, he didn't even try to fight against Grey.

His exchange with Grey already showed that Grey was a hard nut to crack, and in the process of cracking him, he might end up harming himself, so he gave up even before trying.

Grey was stunned when he saw the young man leave.

"He left?" He couldn't help but ask with a dumbfounded expression.

"So it seems." Void replied after sensing the area for a while.

"He's smart, not everyone is as decisive as he is." Grey couldn't help but commend the young man.

The only reason he didn't try to engage him in a fight was the fear of destroying the cave, and maybe someone else managed to get here before he killed the young man and joined hands with his opponent. As much as he wanted to try out his theory, it wasn't worth the risk of getting himself caught or even worse… killed.

With the young man gone, Grey had to go in search of another potential victim for his experiment.

It took him close to two hours before he finally found another member of the Gnome race, a young man who was in the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane. This guy didn't even think twice and immediately went after Grey the moment they made contact.

Grey rushed off, running in the direction of the cave.

Just as he was a kilometer or so away from the cave, he saw a familiar figure. It was the young man at the Peak who refused to follow him into the cave the last time, he was waiting for him, blocking his path back to be exact.

Grey's expression changed slightly since he never expected this young man to appear again.

'Really smart.' He cursed as he looked at the young man.

The move made by the young man was ingenious, he didn't follow Grey into the secret s.p.a.ce, rather, he waited on the side and started to track him, when he sensed the guy from his race heading in Grey's direction, he rushed back so Grey wouldn't notice him.

"Where are you going to go now?" The young man asked as he spread his hands apart.

Grey was about to reply when the other young man in the Eighth stage showed up. He looked at Grey, then at the young man standing after Grey.

"He's mine." He declared coldly.

"You can't beat him without my help, you can't even catch him. Pipe down and maybe I'll give you some credit." The young man at the Peak of the Sage Plane said.

His expression and voice were still the same, but his aura was completely different. It was clear that if the young man in the Eighth stage said anything else, he would kill him even before fighting Grey.

The young man swallowed his saliva as he nodded his head. He didn't retreat though, he knew he couldn't since that would mean opening an escape route for Grey.
