Chapter 1010 Snatching The Prince’s Puppets

Like Grey, the Prince could also sense that his subordinates who left some time ago were rushing back.

He took a glance at Grey, and two coffins appeared behind him. Two humans stepped out of the coffins, both were already at the Peak of Sage Plane. The two people were young ladies who were both naked. From how they looked, Grey could tell that they didnʼt die a good death.

The Prince looked at Grey, hoping that his puppets would influence his mind, but to his greatest surprise, he didnʼt even have a reaction, not even one of disgust. It was as if he was a calm sea, nothing could shake him.

Both of these young ladies were stunning beauties with amazingly great bodies. One of the reasons he made them his puppets was because whenever he was fighting a tough opponent from the human race who was a young man, he could bring them out to rattle their states of mind. Grey was one of the few people who hadnʼt shown any visible reactions to seeing the naked ladies.

Most of the people who didnʼt have the reaction he was expecting tend to show disgust towards him, but Grey didnʼt do any of this. It was like he couldnʼt see the young ladies.

The state of the young ladies, although they were dead, seemed to be very much alive. Other than their sad eyes, and the few scars on the side of their necks, they looked like living people.

Grey continued his attack, this time, his fire element came to life as it exploded out, destroying the building they were fighting in.

The two puppets, along with the Prince, moved out as they attacked. The two puppets were both Water Elementalists. Ice shards appeared in the sky as they shot towards Grey with lightning speed like arrows.

Grey covered himself with a water dome that easily stopped the ice shards from getting to him. While he was still blocking the attack, the Prince used the darkness element to corrode the water dome and mist started to form inside the dome. If Grey didnʼt step out of it, he would be affected by it.

The water dome exploded under Greyʼs control before turning to tentacles that grabbed the legs of both the Prince and his puppets.

The puppets struggled to free themselves, but the Prince cut the tentacle with the fire element.f𝓇𝚎e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝗻૦ѵℯl.c𝐨𝓂

Grey already got what he wanted since he wanted to delay them for some time. He prepared multiple orbs that struck both the puppets and the Prince.

The Prince dodged the attack, while the puppets both created an ice shield around them to block the attack that was coming their way.

When the fusion orb hit the ice shield, an explosion rang out. The shield managed to last for some time before it shattered. The impact of the attack still hit the puppets with quite some force left as it sent them crashing to the ground.

The Prince looked at his priceless puppets before looking at Grey angrily. He rushed forward and attacked.

Grey knew he couldnʼt take the Princeʼs attack head-on, so he dodged to the left before taking to the sky.

The Prince rushed after him, his puppets were already engaged with Grey in the air.

Grey didnʼt have too much of a problem with fighting against the two puppets since they were not as strong as when they were alive.

The Prince joining the battle made it tougher for Grey to fight. He focused mainly on blocking and evading since he knew that he was no match for all of them. The Prince managed to hit Grey on his back with the fire element, sending him flying to the ground.

When Greyʼs back hit the ground, the Prince and the puppets rushed after him as they attacked him while he was down.

Grey unleashed his fire domain when they got close to him. He didnʼt use his normal fire, rather, he used the icy flames since he knew it was stronger than the usual one.

The Prince, as well as his puppets, were caught unaware, and with Greyʼs increasing strength, the power of the domain grew stronger. Now the icing ability of the domain was on another level.

The Prince quickly used the fire element to free himself and escaped from the range of the domain. The two puppets were not as lucky as he was.

ʼTime to leave.ʼ

Grey could sense that those returning were not far away any longer. If even one more person were to join the Prince, he didnʼt know if he would be able to escape unscathed.

He rushed to where the puppets were and tapped them on the back. Black tendrils left his hand and entered their bodies. The Prince felt a sharp ache in his head, but before he could react properly, Grey vanished, along with his puppets.

He looked at the spot Grey was previously standing on. His eyes still showed shock. The reason for this was that before Grey left, he cut off the Princeʼs control and connection over his puppets.

This was something that only masters of their arts could do, yet Grey did it with only a tap. Unknown to him, Grey had studied human puppets and with the increase in his darkness elemental grade, he had an easier time breaking their links. One of the advantages of this was that breaking the link would affect the owner of the puppets.

This scenario for instance showed the importance of that. The Prince would never have allowed him to leave so easily, but because the link was forcefully broken, he was affected by it and Grey was able to escape with such ease. All this also lay with Greyʼs impeccable planning. He was able to outsmart his opponent on multiple occasions during the battle, unfortunately, he wasnʼt able to defeat him since the Prince was clearly on another level.

However, the Prince knew if Grey were to truly be at the Peak of the Sage Plane, then the result of the battle would not be the same.
