Boom!
"Shit! Hide your puppets!"
A scream ca from the side of the Gnos, and Klaus and Reynolds who subconsciously had their eyes closed opened them to see a familiar figure standing before them, one of his hands in front of him.
"I'm sorry I took so long."
Grey's voice sounded in their ears.
Klaus was the first to heave a sigh of relief. He quickly sat down on a tree. He knew with Grey here, he didn't have to worry about anything else.
Reynolds was just like Klaus, tired. He didn't even care to bother with how Grey planned on dealing with the Gnos in front of them, he sat down cross-legged and said, "Please, be as quiet as possible."
Grey's mouth twitched slightly, but when he thought about what they had to go through, he didn't complain. He counted the people present and noticed three Gnos were missing.
He shook his head at the missed opportunity when he realized that he couldn't kill the Gno he cut off his link with his puppet. Due to having to save the duo, he only cut off the link to distract them and make sure they didn't leave before blocking the attack, he wasn't even able to send out an attack.
Grey smiled when he saw the duo and took a glance at the Prince and the others.
"Did you miss ?" He asked with a grin on his face.
The faces of the Prince and the other Gnos were livid. They thought they would be able to kill Klaus and Reynolds, but with Grey present, their chances of achieving that were almost zero.
"Damn it!" The Prince cussed out.
He was irate with the presence of Grey. If Grey had delayed for a minute, then they would've killed the duo before he arrived, but unfortunately for them, he ca at the perfect ti, they weren't even able to cause any serious harm to them.
"What are you doing here?" The Prince asked with a cold voice.
"What? You thought that guy could hold back?" Grey asked mockingly, "Well, he's seriously injured."
The Prince was about to speak when Grey suddenly recalled sothing and said, "Oh right, I didn't know you guys also used Gnos as puppets. They're very tricky to deal with, but thanks to that guy, I can just about handle them."
The eyes of the others changed when they heard this.
"What?!"
They all exclaid.
"Wait… you didn't know?" Grey asked with a look of surprise.
He knew for a fact that they didn't know about it, he just wanted to pass on the news and leave them disorganized.
The Prince couldn't respond, and neither could the others. They all knew that doing sothing like that was an abomination in their realm.
"He's lying to us, he wants us to hold a grudge with him." The Prince said to the others, as if seeing through Grey's ploy.
"Why would I take the effort of cooking up such a lie? Unlike you guys, I don't have ti to waste on useless things." Grey sneered.
He didn't want to rush into battle, because he couldn't sense the bunny leader. It was okay if the bunny leader was around and didn't help the duo, but it not being around was a different story. Grey might not fully trust the bunny leader, but he felt it wouldn't leave in such a manner.
"Sothing's wrong." He muttered to himself.
The Prince looked at him, and seeing Grey's expression, a part of his mind was telling him that he wouldn't do such a thing, but another part of him didn't want to believe it. The act of using another Gno as a puppet was forbidden, and if anyone was caught, they would be executed without exception, even the Emperor was not included from this. This goes to show how seriously the Gnos take this rule, yet, there was soone who had the courage to do such an act?
"Even if you don't want to believe it, it has nothing to do with , I just thought it was common among you guys." Grey said coolly before his gaze turned cold.
"Where are the others? I don't want to bully you guys." He added.
The Prince and the other four felt angered by his words, but when they thought about what happened the last ti they encountered Grey, they didn't even know how to feel. When faced with nine Peak Elental Venerables, Grey still managed to kill one of them, and leave when he wanted to without them being able to stop him.
Now, against five of them, the chances of him doing as he pleases was very high. Adding the fact that the strongest person wasn't even present made it worse.
Five Peak Elental Venerables were worried about facing a single Ninth stage Elental Venerables. If news of this went out, it would cause an uproar, especially when the five were Gnos and the person they were afraid of was a human.
Grey took a step forward and the Gnos felt a strong pressure mount up on them. And they subconsciously took a step back.
When the Gnos realized what was happening, they all felt a sense of sha, and at the sa ti, anger.
They've always been superior to humans. Why should they be afraid of a single person now?
This was a question they couldn't answer, even if they were given a year or ten years, they still wouldn't be able to co up with why they were innately afraid of Grey. At the mont, it wasn't just a fear due to being able to cut off their links with their puppets, rather, it was another type of fear.
It was like the fear of Grey was deep-rooted in them and they couldn't dare to go against him.
Grey smiled when he saw their reactions, "Good boys. Now, let's get to know each other more."
After that statent, they couldn't find Grey's figure anymore.
"We have to leave."
