Two days later.
Boom!
A large explosion sounded out in the southern part of the capital city.
Grey's figure appeared standing in the sky as he looked at the large group of horned men rushing in his direction.
He looked at them with a haughty expression, it was as if he was looking down on lesser beings.
The horned men saw Grey's face and the red horned man's facial expression turned distorted.
"You again! Don't think you will be able to escape this time." He screamed at Grey and threw an object into the sky.
The second the object left his hand, an old man appeared in the sky and a large formation covered the entire city.
"Let me see how you escape now." The red horned man laughed.
Grey had been tormenting them for the past two days now. Every time that they were about to catch him, he would escape from their grasp. They even brought out the faster Elementalists in the capital, but none of them had been able to catch up to Grey.
'Void, gotten it yet?' Grey looked at the
Of everyone in the group, he was the fastest, so he was the only one who could cause chaos in the city. According to the plan of the leader of the group, he would distract the experts while they traveled to where the portal was located.
Normally, Grey would never agree to something like this since he didn't trust them. But when they were escaping after the mission, Void sensed a treasure entering the capital. It presumed one of the experts who came back brought it to the capital.
This was not the only thing that gave him the confidence in taking this task, the main reason was that he made a breakthrough in one of his space element skills, the Great Void technique. Now, he could tag someone, and even when the person was not close to him, he could still appear there.
He had experimented with Void and noticed the distance was unbelievable. Even after Void went over thirty kilometers away, he was still able to appear on the spot. The only thing was that with the increase in distance, it became harder. Other than that, they had not seen any other limitations for it.
He was sure there were limitations, but he would try to find them later on. Before the group left, he tagged Gil when he shook him. One of the most mysterious things about the mark was that he could tag anyone without them even noticing it.
He was sure that the place the portal was located was not any further than sixty kilometers from the capital. Once Void successfully takes the treasure, then he would instantly teleport there.
Before these experts rushed there, he would be long gone.
'I need a little more time. There's a troublesome figure here.' Void replied.
'Even with all the commotion I caused, they still kept the powerful ones there. Hmm.' Grey thought to himself.
He was sure that there was something valuable in the palace other than the life of the ruler. However, he wasn't too interested in this, the most important thing to him right now was leaving this place.
The horned man and the others attacked Grey after they had successfully sealed the place.
Grey didn't even try to fight with them, he turned around and fled, dodging the attack slightly. The horned men continued chasing him, with the help of an old man. This old horned man was on the same level as the one Void killed before they retreated during the raid.
He had been the only one who had been able to not only catch up to Grey but even successfully attack him, however, in the final moments before he could apprehend him, he would vanish without a trace.
Grey's use of the horns as a weapon was one of the things he hated the most about him. He wasn't even bothered with the fact that Grey had to kill hundreds of his kind to get their horns.
While Grey was running away from the old man, Void was entangled with three old men in the palace. Even with his domain, these horned men were each stronger than the old man he fought the last time.
In a large mountain range, a portal could be seen spinning. Around it were multiple horned men standing guard. They built a camp close to the portal, this way they would be able to monitor the people who used the portal.
Gil and the others were looking at the camp vigilantly. They had been staring for minutes now.
"What do we do?" One of the people they rescued asked.
"What else can we do?" The leader of the group shrugged before stepping out.
While hiding, he had been able to ascertain that there were only six Peak Overlord Plane horned men in the camp. With their numbers, they could deal with them.
The leader of the group was the first to step out, walking confidently into the camp.
When the horned men noticed him, they were first taken aback, but after a moment of realization, they rushed out to surround him. The six Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists all came out as well. They looked at the leader of the group with an annoyed expression. They've all heard of the deaths that occurred in the capital a few days ago, so they naturally hated humans even more now.
"Kid, where are your accomplices?" One of the horned men at the Peak of the Overlord Plane asked coldly.
"Look around." The leader of the group spread out his hands and attacked.
The others rushed out from the side and joined the attack. With their numbers, they were able to quickly overpower the soldiers. Other than the Peak Overlord Plane horned men, the others were on the verge of being subdued.
Gil and the others were fighting against the horned men at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. With the help of five Ninth stage Overlord Planes Elementalists, they were on the front foot in the battle.
