"Not good, those from both the Gnome and the Giant race are hunting us down. Usually, only those from the Gnome race attack us, unless we have a conflict with the Giant race, but we haven't even crossed paths yet they started attacking us." The young man replied.
"Where's Scott?" Grey asked as he couldn't find Scott anywhere around.
"He has broken through, he was taken to the other side." The young man replied.
"Oh, I thought as much." Grey nodded. He expected Scott to break through early, but he thought it would take a month or two before he broke through. It has been only just after a month or so, but he had already broken through and gone to the other realm.
"I'm Liam. We have an issue, those from the Gnome Race are hunting us. Not just them, but the Giant race is in collaboration with them, making things harder for us. We can't even step out of this place." Liam reported to Grey.
The other two at the Peak of the Sage Plane looked at Liam as if he was a moron. To them, they didn't think there was any use in explaining to a Seventh stage Sage Plane Elementalist.
"What are you doing, it's not like he can help us." One of the duo couldn't help but say.
"Do you remember the person I said made us win the competition?" Liam turned to the duo.
They nodded their heads to his question.
"He's the one."
When Liam said this, everyone, not just the duo, but those standing on the side turned to look at Grey. They have heard of Grey's exploits in the battle and knew of everything he did. So they all knew that even Scott was no match for him.
"I can't believe he's the one?" Someone said from the crowd.
"He looks so young."
They continued talking about Grey. Grey on the other hand didn't even take a glance at them as his eyes were focused on Liam.
"When did this start?" Grey asked.
Liam told him about everything and Grey soon understood that his action caused all this. Luckily, at least fifty percent of the people that followed him inside the realm were safe.
"When did the Giant race start to attack us?" Grey asked.
"Almost the same time, at least a week later." Liam replied.
Grey thought about the issue and felt those from the Gnome race must have probably allied with those from the Giant race to attack them.
"I'll take care of it. Are you sure they attack you guys whenever you try to leave this place?" Grey asked, a little confused. He passed the normal road here, but no one attacked him, nor did he sense anyone.
"Yes." Liam nodded.
"Alright. I'll try to take care of it. In the meantime, you guys should stay here." Grey advised.
Liam nodded and conveyed the message. No one wanted to leave in the first place, so they all stayed in the same place.
Grey tried to mask his aura and step out, just as he was about to leave the area, he heard a roar and retreated hastily.
A figure appeared before him as he looked at the human figure standing before him. Although the figure looked human, he could tell the figure wasn't human.
"Who are you?" He asked after standing opposite the figure.
He was currently in disguise and his face was different from what it looked like when he was coming here.
"No one, I'm just here to kill you." The figure said with a mocking smile.
"You don't look like someone from the Gnome race, nor the human race, so you're definitely from the Giant race." Grey said after some time.
The other time he had seen someone from the Giant race, the person was larger than this, but he could tell that the person in front of him was from the Giant race.
The person smiled, but didn't respond.
"You don't need to know where I'm from, it's not like it will make any difference when you're dead." The young man replied.
This young man from the Giant race was already in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane, so he didn't see anything with fighting against Grey who was still in the Seventh stage.
Grey smiled, without saying a word, his face changed and he could see the change in the expression of the young man.
'I see, they've been warned about fighting me.' He said to Void who was on his shoulder.
The young man tried to escape the moment he saw Grey's true face. This was the person he had been warned not to fight, so he knew otherwise.
'Make sure he doesn't leave this place.'
The young man was running when he suddenly appeared in the same spot he tried escaping from. His brain blanked for a second as he tried to process things. He looked at his front and Grey was standing in the sky like usual.
He shook his head as he tried to escape once again. He ran to an extent and appeared in the same location once again, Grey was still there, waiting for him.
After trying to escape three times, Grey asked, "Aren't you tired yet?"
The young man looked at Grey with a worried expression.
"Is this your doing?" He asked.
"Of course, why do you think I didn't chase after you?" Grey lied. There was no way he was going to say that this was Void's doing, it was good to have a secret ability.
The young man started to panic and his side started to grow increasingly, before long, he was already around ten meters tall.
Standing before Grey, there was a large difference since Grey was just around a meter tall or so.
"I'll squash you, little human." He said with a loud voice as he tried to step on Grey.
Grey smirked as he saw the large feet coming his way, he blinked and vanished from the spot the foot was landing on.
