Alice and Void spoke for a while before she asked Void to take her to the others.
Void didn't disagree with it since he too wanted to go back to Void and rest. Watching over someone was exhausting, he didn't know when to jump in and on a few occasions, he wanted to come out and beat up the Prince for a while before letting Alice deal with him. But now, he understood why Grey didn't want him to interfere. Unlike Klaus and Reynolds who were both shameless, Alice would feel Grey was looking down on her hence the reason he sent Void to help her.
Even though she knew Grey was only worried about her well-being, she still felt if Grey believed in her abilities, there was no need to send someone to watch over her.
Void didn't think too much about it as he shuttled through space, rushing towards Grey's direction at lightning fast speed.
….
On Grey's end.
He had finally sensed where the bunny leader was, and he didn't know how to react to it.
Someone or something blocked the bunny leader from using the space element. From its tired voice, he was certain it got into a fight and somehow managed to come out on top, hence the reason it was able to come out from the place he was confined in.
Grey was relieved when he heard its voice once again. Having such a powerful and somewhat knowledgeable bunny by his side was quite enjoyable. It would've been a shame to lose it.
Klaus and Reynolds were still resting, trying to recover their strength.
The four Gnomes were all seriously wounded by him. Two had lost both their arms, while the other two had holes in their bodies.
It hadn't been more than three minutes since the Second Prince left, yet Grey had already done so much damage to them.
All four of them knew they were going to die, unless someone came to help them.
Grey paused his attack because of the bunny leader, but now that he had clarified everything with it, there was no use keeping these guys alive.
He attacked with even more ferocity. His figure was going from one place to another without a quarter of a second. Before long, all four Gnomes who were all mentally and physically exhausted were killed by Grey.
Void and Alice arrived immediately Grey killed off the last Gnome.
Alice took a glance at Klaus and Reynolds who were resting and knew the duo were exhausted given the fact that they didn't even bother to open their eyes to see who came.
She decided to do the same, jumping onto a tree branch, she shut her eyes and started meditating.
Void jumped on Grey's shoulder.
"There's something in the space here. Very powerful." Void said to Grey.
"It caught the bunny, but it managed to escape from it." Grey looked around, this strange creature interested him.
He wouldn't mind having another powerful Space Elementalist among his ranks. The bunny leader and Void had been so helpful.
"Don't even think about it. You can't control it, neither can I. Its bloodline is quite high." As if he could see through Grey's mind, he warned him against having any thoughts on the creature.
Grey gave a stiff smile before taking a look at Alice. He could see that she was in a bad state. Now that he was no longer fighting, he raised his hands in the direction of his friends and a golden light shot towards them. He wanted to use the light element to help them recover.
A few hours later.
The group was well rested. To be fair, if not for Grey using the light element, it would've taken longer than it did.
"What now?" Klaus asked.
They've defeated the top Gnomes, and he was sure they wouldn't bother them anytime soon.
"The Princes are gone. They will not stay here since it's too dangerous. We're free to explore now." Grey said coolly, "Thanks to them wanting to take us out in such a hurry, we've dealt with them."
"The only issue now should be the Giant race. I would've gone over to intimidate them, but that wouldn't be good for us. We're already enemies with the Gnome race, adding the Giant race to it will only make life more difficult."
"Yes, now that we have nothing to fear, I say we should go out to seek opportunities." Reynolds had been waiting for this for a while now, "You two are already close to the Peak of the Venerable Plane, we're lacking behind. We need to increase our strength too."
"War is coming, we all need to increase our strength." Klaus said.
"Since the Gnomes are gone, it's best we go separate ways." Grey suggested.
Whenever they enter places like this which are filled with opportunities, the best thing to do is to go separate ways, they can obtain more things this way. But staying together was the safer option.
The others didn't see anything wrong with Grey's statement. Staying together would be good for their safety, but with the top Gnomes gone, and the rare conflict with the Giant race, they were actually very safe. So they didn't have to worry about getting killed by someone from the Gnome race.
The bunny leader was the first to leave, it was in the process of building an army before Grey called it over, now, it wanted to continue its work.
Grey and his friends stayed together for a little longer before they started to leave one by one.
In no time, Grey was the only one left, well, Void was still on his shoulder so he had a companion. Klaus and Reynolds paired together, as usual.
Alice went on her own, she had her Seelie with her. It has not completely recovered, but they should be fine against anyone below the Late stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
"I wonder what sort of treasure would make them need my help." Grey whispered.
