Chapter 1146 Coincidence?

Void, Klaus, and Reynolds ran away at the speed of light. They didn't dare to stay at the place where the explosion took place.

The self-destruction of an Elemental Venerable is nothing to joke about. Even if the young lady was only in the Fourth stage, the power of her detonating with all her might was more than an all-out attack of a Seventh stage Elemental Venerable. This was above what the trio could deal with at the moment.

"F*ck! She really exploded!" Klaus exclaimed when they got to a safe area while staring at the dust cloud that had risen into the sky after the young lady's detonation.

"Who would've thought you could talk someone to their death?" Reynolds said, looking at Klaus he didn't show a surprised expression and added, "Given her chances, it was better for her to self-destruct than to listen to your yapping."

"What do you mean? I was being polite with her." Klaus retorted.

Reynolds cursed out and they soon started their usual two man cursing session. Void was watching from the side while the bunny leader was a bit stunned. It never expected the two people to start arguing between themselves out of thin air.

"Why must you two be a disturbance wherever you go?" Alice's irritated voice came from the side.

"Alice, you're here." Reynolds turned in shock.

"Not just me, everyone else." She replied with a smile.

Grey, Ellis and the others walked out from the side while looking at the duo.

Grey shook his head, "Can't you two be civil for once?"

"Who are you calling uncivilized, blockhead?" Klaus cursed out.

"We were almost killed cause we were associated with you, dumbass." Reynolds cursed as well.

"Who told you two to be so weak." Grey mocked with a smug expression.

Klaus and Reynolds rushed at Grey and attacked him.

The others could only look at the trio with a smile on their faces. Ellis was already used to them being like this although this was the first time he was traveling with them, the small they spent in the forest before entering this building already showed him how they acted.

Grey might be reserved, but in the midst of his friends, he tends to show the goofy side of him.

After the trio were done fighting, well, it wasn't much of a fight, it was more of Grey beating the duo and Alice separating them.

"Satisfied?" Grey asked the duo with a grin.

"Pray I don't get stronger than you, I'll beat you for fun everyday." Klaus vowed.

"Me too." Reynolds added.

"Me three."

"Me too."

Grey kept hearing people chip in and couldn't help but turn to look at the people around.

Even Gilbert who was just joining the group in their travel chimed in as well.

"F*ck!" Grey couldn't help but curse out. If all his friends were planning on bullying him when they grew stronger doesn't that mean he had to grow stronger at a faster pace?

Alice laughed and calmed Grey down.

"How did we all end up in this stage?" Grey asked, a little curious.

He wasn't sure anyone has gone through as many trails as he has, so the possibility of them appearing here should be low. But shockingly, they were all present.

"I have no idea, I've gone through five stages." Ellis replied.

"I've gone through six." Alice replied.

"Seven." Klaus said.

"Five." Reynolds chimed in.

Everyone spoke about the number of stages they had gone through.

Grey was the one with the highest while Klaus was just behind him. They all looked at each other a little surprised, they knew they shouldn't have appeared here since the teleportation was purely random. This was either coincidental or a set up.

"Are there other people here as well?" Grey asked.

"Well, we've seen three people, who tried to kill us because we were friends with you." Klaus brought up the issue again.

Grey rolled his eyes but didn't say anything, he turned his eyes to the others and they each nodded. They've all seen other people who were present here.

"Guess most of the people who entered this place had been teleported here. My question is why?" Grey was curious, he wanted to know the reason for this.

No one had spoken of the challenge that others would go through here. He hadn't heard the others speak of facing any challenge here so they had most likely not seen the trial yet.

After thinking about it, he decided it was best they started to explore the place now.

"We aren't the only ones who would be drawn here by the explosion, it wouldn't be nice if we see some more enemies and they try to kill Klaus." He said while staring at Klaus with a soft smile.

"If I weren't friends with you I wouldn't have to be worried for my life." Klaus complained.

"Your life would've been so boring without me. Stop complaining, it's not like an entire race is trying to kill you. The Gnome race wants me dead, if you recall the events of what happened in the past, those people almost caused the destruction of our world and those strong experts were only able to stop them for a while." Grey said with a nonchalant expression, before adding with a smile, "Now imagine if they know you're my friend?"

"F*ck it! I even forgot about them." Klaus exclaimed, he turned to Grey and said, "It has been a good ride, but it's time we parted ways. Henceforth my name is no longer Klaus and we never saw each other."

Grey burst out laughing, putting his hand across Klaus' shoulder.

"Being friends with you seems like a shortcut to death." Klaus said in a depressed tone.

"Hahaha, at least you get to enjoy your life." Grey added with a grin.

The others who weren't as close to Grey as Klaus, Reynolds, and Alice looked at him a bit apprehensive.

The fact that Grey was this calm about the entire Gnome race wanting him dead seemed a bit odd.

Given the fact that he was the one who was wanted dead, he should at least show signs of panic, but he wasn't doing any of that, rather, he was so carefree.

Unknown to them, while the group were in the Azure Continent, they were chased by the entire Continent and still managed to scale through it. After going through that, they wouldn't feel bothered with this. It wasn't like the Gnomes didn't want to kill other humans as well. So even if they succeed in killing Grey, they would still kill other humans who don't submit to them.

The group started wandering around the place.

….

Somewhere else.

The projection of the old man appeared.

"Strange, why are all of them there. That guy just started receiving the inheritance, if there is any issues he would lose this chance." The old man was stunned.

He had some agreement with a group of people and gave them the chance to receive the greatest inheritance in this place. The Twilight Faction was mainly a Light Elemental Faction, but it still taught other elements as well.

The people he spoke with had some ties with the Twilight Faction so he felt it was okay to let one of them inherit all the techniques concerning the light element in the Twilight Faction. His hope was that maybe another God Plane Elementalist might appear among their ranks.

If only Klaus had appeared there, he wouldn't be too worried, but with Grey appearing there as well, he was a bit scared that something might happen. Those two seemed to have a way to get their hands on the highest reward wherever they appeared.

He squinted his eyes as an idea appeared in his head.

The last stage was quite large and he could somewhat manipulate the surroundings. He wanted to stop the company of Grey and his friends and he knew the only way he could do this was by sending challenges their way.

He knew about the duo who chased Grey back at the challenge with the large furnace. And they were present there with their group.

He willed it and they appeared in front of where Grey and his friends were planning on going through.

….

Back on Grey's side.

The lady from the Nether Faction and six others from the Nether Faction appeared in front of Grey and his friends.

Amongst the six people, the young man Grey beat up was present.

Seeing them, Grey's face fell.

"Enemies." He whispered to Klaus who was at his side.

"Oh, she doesn't look bad. Did she try to woo you and failed?" Klaus joked.

The young lady heard Klaus' statement and her expression changed, she had seen Grey's face and of course, she couldn't deny the fact that he was handsome, but she wasn't the type who would run after any guy just because they were handsome.
