Chapter 656 - The Deeper We Go, The Stronger They Get

The two Overlord Plane Elementalists were unable to put up much of a fight against the old man.

At this rate, they would die in a short time.

Grey looked at it and felt it was time for them to step in.

”Void, heʼs all yours.” He said to Void.

Void was the only one at the Peak of the Overlord Plane amongst them, so he naturally had to be the one who would take out this old man. Grey might be able to defeat him, but he didnʼt feel a hundred percent confident without using the Fusion State. After all, he was still in the Sixth stage of the Overlord Plane and this man in particular seems to be above the regular Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists.

Void nodded and disappeared. This man wasnʼt a big deal for him to handle. He appeared beside the man, and before the man even realized what was happening, he sensed a deadly attack coming from all angles.

He tried to escape, but to his dismay, he was unable to move an inch.

The scrawny man who was standing beside Grey and his friends was taken aback when he saw this. He overheard Grey telling Void to take care of this, so seeing that the man had a panicky expression, he could tell that he was in trouble.

ʼTheyʼre only in the Origin Plane, how can they deal with this man?ʼ He questioned himself.

Unfortunately, he was unable to get an answer. He saw something that scared the living daylight out of him. The man who they thought would kill all of them started to disintegrate. It was a fast process, and within thirty seconds, a complete human disappeared from the world.

It was so simple that they didnʼt even understand what happened. All they knew was that the man disappeared piece by piece. As if something was destroying him.

The scrawny man looked at Grey and his friends, and cold sweat ran down his spine. He wasnʼt stupid, so he knew this was as a result of them.

How did he summon the courage to mock these people? The truth was, if not for Alice, he wouldnʼt even give them a glance. But when he saw her, he wanted to take her for himself, so he approached them. Now, he had offended people he shouldnʼt.

Without even thinking, he fell to his knees.

When the others in the place saw him, they were surprised that he would kneel in front of these little kids.

”Is he that desperate?” A lady from the group the scrawny man belonged to asked, staring at the man with disdain.

He dropped his head to the ground in front of Alice and instantly started apologizing.

Seeing this, Alice furrowed her brows.

”Youʼve ruined all the fun, get out of my sight.” She said annoyed.

Since the man apologized this quickly, beating him up wouldnʼt be any fun. It would feel like she was only bullying him. And unlike Klaus and Reynolds, she wasnʼt that shameless.

Grey smiled when he saw this. He knew from the second the man got on his knees, Alice would let him go.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the man, after a thought, he shook his head. He couldnʼt kill the man. Of course itʼs not that it was hard, but itʼs because there were countless people like him. Should he go around killing all of them?

The main reason he let the man go was because he didnʼt try to attack them from the start, only demanding their treasure. It was unknown if the man wouldʼve tried to use force if not for what happened, but since they didnʼt know, there was no use in bothering about it.

Other than the scrawny man, no one else knew that the death of the man was as a result of Grey and his friends.

The two Overlord Plane Elementalists looked around, trying to find who killed the man, but they were unable to. They each returned to their group and hurriedly left the cave.

They almost lost their lives, so although they had calmed down, they didnʼt want to stay here any longer.

Grey and his friends left as well. Since the man was dead, there was nothing left to do there.

After coming out, they went deeper into the Magical Beastsʼ forest. Grey was unable to head this deep the last time because he was too weak at that time, but now, as long as he didnʼt encounter a Rank Six magical beast, he had nothing to fear.

He suddenly recalled the state Ellis was in when he tried to find the liquid he wanted to use to heal Void. Ellis was already in the Sage Plane at that time, but he too found it difficult to move freely here.

ʼWhat secrets does this place hold?ʼ He asked himself.

If even with Ellisʼ strength he couldnʼt move freely and he even went as far as to warn Grey, this meant there are most likely beasts in the Seventh Rank here. Just the thought of it sent goosebumps across his entire body.

That was equivalent to an Elemental Sovereign. He couldnʼt even contest against a Sage Plane Elementalists yet, much less an Elemental Sovereign thatʼs above the Sage Plane.

”I heard there are Dragons deep in the Magical Beastsʼ forest.” Reynolds suddenly brought up the topic of Dragons.

”Yeah, so I heard.” The others nodded.

”Is there a chance we can run into one?” Reynolds asked curiously.

”Itʼs best we donʼt. From what I know, the deeper we go into this forest, the stronger the magical beasts. Donʼt think youʼll encounter Rank Four beasts there. Very soon, youʼll start meeting Rank Five beasts, and if weʼre unlucky, we might even meet a Rank Six beast in this area.” The last thing on Greyʼs head right now is meeting a Rank Six beast.

There was no way he could fight against it. He didnʼt even have the slightest bit of hope in going up against it. So it was for the best that they didnʼt encounter one.
