'*Sigh* I should've waited till the forest returned to normal before leaving,' Grey thought with a dejected look as he started walking away from the rubble.
He was exhausted from the three days of running away from beasts, and also the multiple heart-racing monts he had. He hasn't even been able to speak with his friends because he couldn't afford to split his attention.
Roar!
A loud roar encouraged Grey to move faster than he previously was. At first, he wanted to move slowly so that he could carefully evade all the beasts at the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane, but now, he couldn't even move slowly anymore.
….
Boom! Bang!
Grey encountered two beasts fighting while running away, beside them was sothing that felt so familiar he couldn't help but stare at it continuously.
'It's here! I can't believe there's so here. Although it's not that much, I must get it,' He looked at the liquid greedily.
It was the liquid he had been searching for all this while. He couldn't believe his luck. Ellis had passed through all these areas, but he didn't find it. Who would've thought that while he was escaping, he would co across two beasts fighting, and the liquid would be beside them?
He stared at what the liquid was stored in, and quickly concluded that it was done by a person.
It was kept in a flask, but its top was broken and so of the liquid had obviously spilled out. What was left in the flask shouldn't be up to half of what it originally contained.
Without wasting any ti, Grey quickly ca to a decision. He was going to use the Fusion State once again. It hadn't been up to a week since the last ti he used it, but he couldn't afford to let this chance slip by. It's unknown when next he might be opportune to see this liquid again.
Sitting down crossed leg, he cald his mind and slowly started to rge his elental orbs. He didn't forget to watch the beasts that were fighting, to make sure he wasn't in danger if they decided to stop fighting and attack him.
A few minutes later.
The two beasts which were fighting were a black five ters tall bear, and a large snake. Each had different elents, the bear had the earth elent while the snake had the water elent.
As the battle was going on, Grey realized that the snake was slowly gaining the upper hand, and the body of the bear was slowly being inflicted with different wounds. The snake had tried constricting the bear on multiple occasions, but the brute strength of the bear made it impossible for it to do so.
Grey, who just finished rging his elental orbs, took out a weapon he rarely used since acquiring it. The multi-elental blade he obtained in the trial land.
Due to being in the Fusion State, he could use it to attack at least a few tis before being sucked dry of his essence. Of course he didn't plan on doing that, he only wanted to wound the snake, giving the bear the chance to focus on killing it while he escapes with the liquid.
It was a win-win scenario for the duo since the bear would escape with its life, while he would run away with the liquid.
"Phew…" He breathed out heavily, while taking a fighting stance with the sword held with both hands.
Roar!
The bear roared in pain after the snake bit it on its neck. It was struggling to push the snake away, but the snake had smartly used its huge body to tie the hands, leaving the bear almost defenseless.
Even if the bear could still attack with the earth elent, it would be difficult for it to escape from the snake. Despair covered its face as it knew its end was near.
The snake slowly started to constrict the upper body of the bear, gradually squeezing the life out of it.
Just when the bear had lost all hope, it saw a small figure flashing towards them with a black sword that seed to be in flas, but the flas were black.
The figure was none other than Grey who had decided to jump to the rescue at the perfect ti. His blade was fully covered with the darkness elent, and the sword enhanced it, causing the black flas that were surrounding the sword.
Slash!
The blade cleanly cut into the body of the snake which was at the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane. It stopped after going through one-third of the body of the snake.
His attack was accurate, cutting the snake close to its head.
One has to know that even an attack from soone in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane will find it difficult to hurt the snake, much less injuring it. Yet, Grey who even with the help of the Fusion State isn't as powerful as soone in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane managed to do just that.
"Wow! This sword is amazing!" Grey exclaid unconsciously when he saw the damage it did.
The reason he used the darkness elent for the attack was so that he would be able to do so damage to the snake, he never expected the damage would be this big.
Screech!
The snake let go of the bear, screeching in pain while wiggling its body.
The bear uses the opportunity to break loose from the snake's hold, using its claws to slap it away from its body. As soon as the bear got an opening, it launched at the snake again, not bothering with the human who helped it.
Grey was more than happy with its response and hastily flew towards the flask, after grabbing hold of it, he was shocked to find that a human body was covered under the flask.
He didn't even bother to dig it and find out who this person was or what else the person had.
"Thank you for finding this liquid," He bowed and blinked.
He couldn't stay there for long, in case the bear decides to leave the snake and focus its attention on him.
