Chapter 801 Raiding The Capital

Grey looked at the group as they prepared for the raid.

”So, how do you plan to deal with the experts in the capital?” He asked. This was a question he asked the first time they asked him to join them, he refused because they didnʼt give him any tangible reply.

”According to what weʼve found out, the top experts are not in the capital. But they arenʼt far from the capital as well. Since youʼre good with arrays, you will work with her to create a large array that will block every single distress signal from going out.” The leader of the group pointed at one of the young ladies in the group.

She was among the five geniuses he fought with.

”Have you seen the size of the city?” Grey looked at the leader of the group as if he was a clown.

He didnʼt expect them to create an array that would stop any signal from going out in such a short time. The capital was huge, it would take them a long time to complete, and the task was exhausting as well.

”Iʼve been working on it for some time now, I just need a few more details.” The young lady stepped forward.

”Oh, if thatʼs the case, then no problem.” Grey nodded.

He wasnʼt someone who would shy away from things like this raid, but if these people wanted to stress him because of his skill, then he didnʼt mind leaving them now. It wasnʼt like he couldnʼt escape on his own after all.

The leader of the group continued assigning positions and gave out orders. He wasnʼt a bad leader given how everyone seemed to listen to him. After almost thirty minutes of continuous speech, it was time to leave.

When Grey heard their target, he couldnʼt help but shake his head. He originally thought they wanted to raid the capital for treasures, only now did he know that they were doing this to save the humans inside the capital. They wanted to save every human they could find.

ʼHow amusing.ʼ He said to himself as he followed the group.

There was a reason they were doing this, and honestly, he does not care. He would only do something like this when someone heʼs close with is captured. If not, he preferred not to involve himself in any squabbles that might be dangerous.

A group of over twenty-five people walked out. Grey and the young lady were the first to leave the group since they had the job of securing their time there. The young lady had told Grey a few things about the array, but he would only know if to modify it after seeing it.

The young lady made the array outside of the capital, linking small arrays together to form a large one that would cover the capital completely. What was left was to create the array at the front gate to ensure that the array will be complete.

While the young lady was thinking of a plan. Grey strolled right to the front gate in a leisurely manner and before anyone could say a word, he used the fire and water element to create some sort of mist that spread out. In the blink of an eye, the vision of everyone there had been impaired. There was no way anyone would know he was not from the horned race with this much mist around.

The guards at the front gate were alerted by this and quickly rushed forward. Before the few Wind Elementalists could use their wind element to blow the mist away, Grey was gone.

Simple and effective.

The young lady never thought that what she had been thinking about would be solved in such an easy way. Grey didnʼt even act like someone who was making an effort, he only walked there and back within a few seconds and he not only created the array, but he did it unnoticed.

This was the front gate of an enemy race! Greyʼs boldness and quick thinking were something that astounded the young lady.

”Having multiple elements has its perks.” She couldnʼt help but mutter when Grey returned.

”Naturally.” Grey nodded while looking at the alarmed horned people.

He knew that the sudden mist would make them a little unsettled, but it wouldnʼt really change anything.

The group of five geniuses was the only Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists they had in their group. Even if most of the top level experts were not in the capital, there are bound to be some there.

Grey had always been the cautious type, so whenever he made plans, he would think of every possible scenario that might happen.

Void was still hidden from them, so they knew nothing of his hidden card. He also had his domain which he could use against even those top level experts here.

The group got to where Grey and the young lady were located and the leader asked why they were still there. The young lady told him how Grey was able to easily complete the array.

”Alright, weʼll continue as planned.” The leader nodded, pleased at how Grey made things easier for them.

”You will ensure that the array isnʼt destroyed.” The leader pointed at the young lady before turning his attention to Grey, ”Your services are still needed inside.”

Grey nodded with a blank expression.

The young man asked Grey if he could use his mist to hide them as they entered the city. Grey nodded and did as told. He asked if there were any other Dual Elementalists that had the water and fire element. Making mist was an easy trick, so it wasnʼt something he had to teach them.

Only one person had both the fire and water elements.

They created a larger mist this time and even did what looked like a rainstorm above them with lightning dancing in the clouds.

Seeing the lightning storm coming closer to the front gate, the guards were cautious, and a little confused. They didnʼt know what to do, but seeing the mist below it, they knew this was not ordinary.
