“What do we do now?” Liam asked after they took down the last Giant.
“I can’t sense others, so we can only go back.” Grey said.
He couldn’t sense the aura of any member of the Gnome race, so he knew no one else was in front of them. With such a group stationed here, there was no way the Gnome and Giant race would set up another ambush for them. They would feel that humans would not be able to pass through this group.
The other nodded, and without even arguing, they headed back to the hideout.
When they got there, Grey had no plans of staying any longer. The duo who had zero respect for him some time ago were staring at him as if he was a god. What was worse was that they were spreading his battle with the Gnomes and Giants, making the others there try to bootlick him.
Grey had never been one who liked attention, especially at this level. Without even thinking about it, he decided to leave. With that group dead, humans could leave the hideout and try to get their fortuitous encounters. The few who wanted to leave could leave without any issues.
Liam and the duo tried to convince him to stay, but he left.
…
A week later.
Grey and Void had been here for over a month and the place could be said to be very helpful to them. Although Grey was still in the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane, his strength had increased significantly since entering the realm. Not just him, but Void as well.
Scott and a few others had broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane and had gone to the higher realm. According to what Grey knew, if he could break through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, he would automatically be transported to the other side that was for those in the Elemental Venerable Plane.
To be honest, it was a confusing concept, but he didn’t think too much about it, it wasn’t like he would be breaking through any time soon. While traveling, whenever he came across anyone from the Giant or Gnome race, he would kill the person. In no time, the Giant race started to notice the reduction in their numbers. Whenever anyone broke through, they would know of it, so they knew the people seemingly missing did not break through.
They started researching and soon found out the cause, it was none other than the doing of a human. When they compared his strength and appearance to that of the person who was terrorizing the Gnome race, it was no different. The Prince from the Gnome race hadn’t broken through, so when he heard the news, he was angered and filled with revenge.
Grey was also killing people from the Gnome race, and since he was here, he had the responsibility of protecting his people.
He rushed over to where the Giant race was situated. No one dared to stop him, even though the Giant and Gnome race were in collaboration, it was not acceptable that someone from another race goes to the hideout of an opposing race.
….
In a secret chamber in the mountains belonging to the Giants.
“We must put a stop to his rampage.” The Prince from the Gnome race said, his eyes filled with hate.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m
“I agree with you, but can you track him down?” The leader of the Giant race asked.
“That’s the problem, we can’t, but he can. Do you think we should try to lure him out?” The Prince asked.
“That would be best. Catch some humans and spread the word of their execution. I don’t believe he wouldn’t come to their aid.” The leader of the Giant race suggested.
The Prince of the Gnome race thought about it for some time before agreeing to it. He left to convey the news to others.
Two days later, they had not only caught some humans, but one Peak Sage Plane Elementalist was part of the group. If Grey didn’t try to stop this execution, then it would affect the morale of humans.
Grey naturally heard the news, and without even thinking too much, he knew it was a plot to capture him. He was the only one who was killing people from both the Giant and Gnome race rampantly. If they were plotting against anyone, then it was definitely him.
‘Void, what do you say? They only have five people. It’s not like everyone would survive this place.’ He said to Void.
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m ‘Let’s go, there’s nothing fun here.’ Void replied.
Grey already knew his answer from the start. Void loved drama and chaos, nothing relevant had been happening for some time so he was bored, now that there was something taking place, of course he wanted to see it.
…
The time of the supposed ‘execution’ soon came and Gnomes and Giants alike were gathered in the place, all excited. They wanted to see if their plan would work, or if they would be able to execute these people.
Before coming here, Grey found out about this from a Giant he captured. He didn’t let the Giant go since there was no use in letting them know that he would be coming.
The Gnomes and Giants in the area were discussing animatedly as they waited for the execution.
This was a famous location in the realm, being the only unique place that possessed a chasm. It was quite dangerous, well, if someone ventured into the place.
Everyone was wise enough not to enter the place, and the few who tried to enter had never been able to return. They all died inside.
The Prince of the Gnome race and the leader of the Giant race started the ceremony as they prepared to execute the prisoners. Each of them was protected by someone at the Peak of the Sage Plane, there was no way Grey would be able to rescue them from their hands. Not just that, but they were all kept in different locations.
