Chapter 1233 Fighting Against The Voices In His Head

The man and Greyʼs battle intensified. With Grey using his physical strength, he quickly took advantage in the battle. 

The man was forced into a defensive state, but he was still barely able to fight against Grey. 

Before long, he was left in a sorry state. 

Grey looked at the man, he wanted to kill him, but after thinking about it, he decided to let him leave. If he was killed by others, then it was his fate. 

”Iʼm not interested in killing you.” Grey picked up the coffin and started walking in the direction the man was walking from. 

”Fifty-fifty, weʼll share it fifty-fifty.” The man yelled. 

”Do you think youʼre in a position to bargain?” Grey raised a brow, ”The coffin is with me, if Iʼm interested in whatever is inside, Iʼll take everything and not give you any.” 

The man looked at Grey and said, ”They will kill you. Donʼt go back.” 

”What?” Grey paused and turned to the man. 

”Those things. They killed my partners. Iʼm begging you, give me just a little bit of the things there.” The man begged. 

Grey looked at the man and was a little confused. 

ʼWhy is he begging this much for whatever is in this coffin?ʼ He wondered. 

After walking a good distance away, he decided to check what was inside. 

The second he opened it, he felt a powerful spiritual energy rushing into his body and an impulse to absorb the bones started to grow in him. At first, it wasnʼt big, but within a few seconds, it was starting to grow stronger. Before he knew it, he was standing in the same spot, thinking of what to do. 

He wanted to return the coffin, but he felt indescribable greed toward the coffin and wanted to absorb the bones. In the coffin, there was nothing else other than bones. 

”Are you okay?” 

Cori asked when she saw Greyʼs sudden strange behavior. 

”Iʼm good. Donʼt worry.” Grey reassured her and continued walking in the direction the man came from.𝑛𝚘𝗏𝖾𝗅𝓊𝑠𝑩.𝒸𝗈𝑚

Just when he was about to get to the door the man used to come out, the feeling got stronger and he paused, turned around, and took a step. For some reason, he didnʼt want to return the coffin, rather, he wanted to absorb the bones inside. He heard a voice in his head that said once he absorbed the bones, he would be the strongest person in the world. 

”Arenʼt you returning the coffin?” Void asked when he saw Grey walking back. 

”Thereʼs no need. That voice canʼt do anything to me here, thatʼs why it sent me to stop that man.” Grey replied in an almost robotic way, ”With whatʼs hidden here, I will become unstoppable and you can get all the treasures you want.” 

Void looked into Greyʼs eyes and knew that there was something wrong. Greyʼs pupils had dilated, there was a certain strangeness in them. He had been with Grey for a long time now and knew everything about it. Seeing Grey in such a state, he knew this was not the same person he usually speaks with. 

”Grey, stop!” He called out. 

”Void, stay hidden. I donʼt want others to know about you.” Grey said, after a thought, he said, ”Donʼt worry, you can come out, after this, no one can take you away without my permission.” 

”Grey, drop the coffin.” Void said, his usual playful voice becoming stern. 

”Whatʼs the matter, Void? Since when are you the one making the decisions?” Greyʼs face turned cold. 

”Since youʼve lost your mind. Drop the coffin and letʼs leave this place.” Void said. He could tell that there was something wrong with Grey, and it started when he opened the coffin. 

Now he understood why the man attacked them when they wanted him to leave the coffin. Also, after they defeated the man, he stopped trying to fight with them. He felt there was a reason for that. As long as Grey refuses to leave the coffin, he would not understand this. 

”Lost my mind?” Grey scoffed, ”If I remember correctly, youʼre the one who keeps putting my life at risk. I canʼt even count the number of times Iʼve almost died due to your antics. And now Iʼm losing my mind? You must be going crazy!” 

”Grey, youʼre not yourself.” Void said calmly. 

Greyʼs eyes started to show signs of red, and without any warning, he attacked. 

Void was already prepared for the attack and blocked it with ease. 

”Grey, get a hold of yourself.”

Grey didnʼt seem to hear what he said, he attacked with ferocity and used his fusion orbs. 

Void blocked the attack once again, making sure Cori was safe. With Voidʼs current strength, there was no way Grey could overpower him unless he still had access to the Fusion State, but unfortunately, he didnʼt. 

Grey wanted to use the space element, but he was unable to. Void had used his space domain, trapping Grey there. With Greyʼs strength and his current state of mind, there was no way he would be able to leave this area. 

Void took a step and appeared before Grey, he sent a claw out. Void was a Magical Beast, although he was small, he had a frightening strength. 

Grey tried to block the attack but was sent flying. He into a wall and got back up quickly, just as he was about to continue his attack, he froze and clutched his head. 

Void didnʼt continue his attacks since he knew Grey was most likely coming back to himself. The fact that Grey stopped and held his head meant one thing, he was fighting against the voice in his head. 

Void went to where Cori was and stood to watch Grey as he fought against the voice in his head. 

A minute later, Grey held his head and screamed loudly, clearly in pain. Cori wanted to go closer to him, but Void stopped her. 

”Leave him, heʼll be fine.” 

Cori stood on and watched as Grey fought against the voices in his head.
