Grey took a glance at the man, and without hesitation, he went after him. Although he was worried about the well-being of his friends, he knew they would be fine. If he could kill the already wounded man, he was sure that things would be easier for them. Besides, his friends had two top-tier s.p.a.ce Elementalists with them who could help them out of any situation without any hitch, so they wouldn't die.
The man was flying as fast as he could, anyone below the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane might not even be able to catch a glimpse of him before he breezed past them.
Grey was also just as fast, adding his s.p.a.ce element to the fray, he was a tad faster.
In no time, he was able to catch up to the man who had the head start. The man couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Grey standing in front of him.
He was still bleeding from his mouth, breathing heavily.
"Why are you so adamant about killing me?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, I just want to ensure that I take out as many of you as I can. If you survive, you might become a Sovereign in the future and that would put more humans in danger." Grey replied in a nonchalant manner, it was as if he wasn't speaking about killing someone.
The man already knew there was no way he could beat Grey, surviving was also going to be difficult. He thought after self-destructing his puppet, Grey would let him leave, but to his surprise, not only was Grey not injured from it, but it didn't even help delay him for more than a few seconds. Since Grey was not delayed, he was able to catch up to the man in such a short time.
"Don't worry, I will give you a smooth death." Grey gave the man a death sentence right before his eyes.
The man looked at Grey, his eyes slowly turning red.
"Hehe, since you're so confident, I'll show you what makes people like me different from others."
After saying this, the man opened his mouth and three puppets came out of it, each of them was a Gnome, all at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
"I've been keeping these guys for a long time now, I think they are raring to go." The man laughed hideously.
Grey's expression changed slightly, he tried to see if he could cut off the connection between the man and the Gnomes, but to his surprise, he couldn't find the connection.
"The human body and that of Gnomes are different, you will need a long time before you can find the connection." The man laughed, he saw the expression on Grey's face and knew he had attempted to cut off the link.
"Let me tell you something, others see making a Gnome a puppet as a sin, but not me. I use what I see."
"If the others find out about this, I don't think I need to worry about killing you, they will do it themselves." Grey said with a straight face.
"This is why they will never find out, I'll shut you up forever."
Grey smiled, he wasn't scared of what the man said, to him, the man was just babbling nonsense.
….
On Alice's end.
Alice was being brutally beaten down by the Seventh Prince. One has to know that he was someone who was very powerful for anyone on the same stage as himself, much less someone who was a stage below him. Even if Alice was a top genius, she would find it difficult to stand toe to toe with the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was slowly starting to become a little vexed, the reason for this was that he felt he should've incapacitated Alice by now, but even after over five minutes, he still hadn't been able to get her down. Alice was very powerful, that was something he couldn't deny, but with his strength, he believed he should've been able to easily subdue her.
Alice was sent flying, but she used the lightning element to help herself and balanced herself mid-air before taking a look at the Seventh Prince, she was panting heavily, but she still didn't have any plans of retreating anytime soon.
"You stubborn pests, I'll kill all of you, every single one of you." The Seventh Prince said in a disgusted manner.
"I'm still here. You fought against my friend and from what I can tell, you're pretty traumatized by his mere presence." Alice mocked.
"If I'm not mistaken, he's always looming over your heart. His face is the first thing you see when you wake, and the last you think about when you go to sleep. Even while training all you think about is him, right?"
Alice's words rendered the Seventh Prince speechless, the reason for this was that it was too accurate. To be honest, since his encounter with Grey, he had been seeing him every day. In everything he does, the picture of Grey comes to mind. To some extent, it could be said that he was obsessed with Grey.
All he wanted was to be the one who ended the life of Grey. Or at the very least, be the one to acquire his body.
The Seventh Prince attacked with renewed vigor, this time, he brought out another puppet. This one wasn't as strong as the one Alice's Seelie was fighting with but it was still in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, the same Plane as Alice. With it, the Seventh Prince completely overwhelms Alice, not giving her any chance to show any of her abilities.
"Don't worry, your friend will see your lifeless body." The Seventh Prince remarked as they forced Alice into a tight spot after only a few seconds.
Alice gritted her teeth as she fought on for her life. She knew if she dared to slack, she would lose her life, and she didn't want that to happen.
