Chapter 517: Necromancy

Grey was at a loss for words when he heard Void's words, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was shocked by the result.

"Come on, let's head to the city to find out more about this compet.i.tion," He said while walking in the direction of the city.

Void vanished, appearing on his shoulder. Just as they were about to leave, Grey and Void turned to the right at the same time.

'There's someone there,' Void said to Grey.

'I know. How come of us noticed when the person came here?' Grey asked.

'We were distracted. Whoever is there has noticed that we've realized we're being watched, but isn't doing anything to leave,' Void said.

'We were careless, I got carried away by not being able to break through, and you were playing. Luckily, we sensed the person in time,' Grey said as his expression turned serious.

Void's secret should never leave this place, or else they would be in danger. This place was far more dangerous than the Azure continent, they couldn't dare to be careless.

"Who's there?" Grey said.

"Hehehe, to think you sensed me in the end. But I must say, you have one great cat. If it grows to its full potential, it would be a force to reckon with," A voice laughed from behind the bushes.

The figure of a thin man stepped out, his hair was disarranged, and his clothes were loose.

"A skeleton?" Void asked unconsciously.

"With skin and hair," Grey added, shocked by the state of the man who walked out.

He could sense an eerie aura from the man, but his appearance was a little too strange. Grey was almost certain that the man had only skins holding onto his bones.

"You can laugh all you want, but after I obtain that cat, the world will know my name," The man declared while walking forward confidently.

Grey studied the man, and he relaxed a little when he sensed the man was in the Overlord Plane, the Mid stages.

He was not as strong as the man, but if he and Void joined hands, they could take care of him. Not just that, if he uses his Fusion State as well, then their victory would be further guaranteed.

"In your dreams," Grey said coldly.

"Hand over the cat boy, and maybe I might keep you alive," The man said with a sinister smile.

"Heh! With the likes of you? If you leave this forest alive then you should count yourself lucky," Grey scoffed.

He had always been confident, showing weakness in front of this man would not do him any good, so why bother. Besides, he had Void with him.

He had never seen Void cultivate or train, yet, he was slowly growing stronger. Presently, Void is already a peak Early stage Rank Five magical beast. This was equivalent to a Third stage Overlord Plane Elementalist.

"c.o.c.ky, hehehe, I like your type. You would make a great specimen in my cabinet," The man laughed before spreading his hands.

Poof!

"Time to play, my toys," The man laughed before the coffins opened wide open.

A cold chill spread out from the coffins as they opened.

Grey squinted his eyes to look at the coffins, and his expression changed when he realized what was inside.

"Corpse?" He muttered silently.

A thin dark thread could be seen connecting the corpses in the coffins with the man.

Swoos.h.!.+

All three corpses shot out of the coffins simultaneously, attacking Grey with three different elements.

One of them was using the fire element, one was using the water element, and the last of them was using the earth element.

"Haha, these are my precious babies. The strongest in my collection," The man laughed in a sinister manner.

The attacks came quickly, with terrifying speed. But Void was faster, using his s.p.a.ce element, he moved himself and Grey away.

'This is bad, we can't fight against those things. They're all at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, and judging from the strength of their previous attacks, they're not your regular Elementalist when they were alive,' Void deducted after the first attacks.

'What?! The peak of the Overlord Plane? All three? d.a.m.n it! Why are we always unlucky?' Grey was dumbstruck by Void's words.

Grey and Void appeared a few meters away from where they were previously standing.

"Oh, the cat is a s.p.a.ce Elementalist? Now I just want it more," The man said in excitement.

"What are you?" Grey questioned while trying to get into the Fusion State.

They needed to escape quickly, and Void didn't know any long distance teleportation techniques, unfortunately. Now, he had to use the Great Void technique, but since he could b?r?ly teleport twenty meters, he knew without the Fusion State, there was no way he could travel a long distance when he was in a normal state.

"I'm a necromancer, there are few of us in this world, but surely we should be well known. Don't tell me you've been living in the forest?" The man declared proudly.

"A necromancer, what's that?" Grey looked at Void curiously.

"What?! You don't know about necromancers?" The man asked wide-eyed.

Grey shook his head, he truly had no idea what they were.

"Since you'll be joining my collection soon, I guess I could tell you a thing or two about us," The man said.

However, before he continued speaking, he sent the corpses to three different locations, making sure it would be impossible for Grey and Void to escape if they tried to.

Grey looked at the strategic positions of the corpses and couldn't help but commend the carefulness of the man. He would do the same if he were in the same position as the man.

'As long as I can stall for two more minutes I should be good,' He thought.
