Chapter 168: Multi Elemental Blade

‘Grab the blade.’ Grey reminded Void while closely monitoring the place where the quasi dragon crashed, he couldn’t see it because of the dust when the quasi dragon slammed into the ground.

‘Hmm.’ Void nodded and hurried towards the blade which fell eight meters away from where the quasi dragon landed.

Standing mid-air, Grey watched as Void ran towards the blade. He looked around with curiosity.

Presently, he had two thoughts in mind, the first and most important was to escape if the quasi dragon was not hurt by his previous a.s.sault, the second one which was optional to him was to fight against the quasi dragon if it was hurt by his previous attacks.

“Huh!” Grey exclaimed softly and looked above him.

On the roof of the lab, he could sense a slight fluctuation of the aura of an array. Although it was very faint, he was confident what he sensed was an array.

‘Could this be the reason for the low elemental essence here?’ He asked himself while trying to sense the array further.

He also thought about their sudden inability to use anything related to the s.p.a.ce element. But, he felt it wasn’t the reason because they were able to use it previously, but then it was suddenly blocked.

‘Got it!’ Void’s voice brought him back from his thoughts.

‘Okay, we should leave.’ Grey said.

The dust still hadn’t settled even after almost twenty seconds, seeing that they had taken the blade back, he decided to leave this place.

‘Okay, do you think it’ll survive?’ asked Void.

‘I don’t know.’ Grey replied.

He floated down slowly but still stayed in the Fusion State. From their previous encounter with the quasi dragon, he was sure that it wouldn’t stay down from this attack.

The duo once again charged towards the tunnel, but Grey stopped midway and turned around, creating an almost thirty inches thick wall.

Boom!

An attack struck the wall the moment it was created, but unlike Grey’s previous defenses, this wall didn’t fall apart immediately due to his current increase in strength.

‘That was close.’ Void heaved a sigh when he realized Grey just blocked an attack.

He didn’t even sense the attack, not to mention dodging it, so he felt relieved seeking that Grey was able to block the attack.

After the attack died down, Grey edged close to the earth wall and peeked from the side of the wall.

“s.h.i.+t! It’s gone again.” He said while looking at the empty lab.

Seeing the situation, Grey stretched out his hand to Void.

‘What?’ Void asked when he saw Grey’s hand in front of him.

“The blade.” Grey said looking at him with fierce eyes.

If Void dared to refuse, then he’d beat him up!

‘Oh!’ Void chuckled awkwardly and pa.s.sed the blade to him.

He knew how serious their situation was, so he didn’t dare to hold onto the blade.

Grey held the blade in his right hand and studied it closely. He didn’t know what elemental weapon it was because unlike the few he had seen, this one was unidentifiable by him.

With no other option, he tried to channel his fire elemental essence into the blade. The second the elemental essence entered the blade, it lit up with a fiery red color.

‘Fire.’ He thought.

But on impulse, he withdrew the fire elemental essence and tried to channel his wind elemental essence into the blade, and to his greatest surprise, the blade lit up with a greenish color.

Grey’s heart trembled when this happened.

‘How is this possible?’ He asked himself with a look of disbelief.

Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed himself and tried infusing the blade with his other three elemental essences, and just like the first two, the blade lit up signifying the color of the elements.

It took Grey a total of about eighteen seconds for him to test out all five elements on the blade.

‘To think there’s such a treasure.’ A look of disbelief was on Grey’s face throughout the eighteen seconds he was testing out the blade.

Grey who was in a state of disbelief suddenly jolted and slashed the blade to his upper right, infusing it with the earth element.

The previous light blade immediately turned extremely heavily, weighing almost three hundred pounds.

Boom!

The blade clashed with the claw of the quasi dragon who appeared out of nowhere.

Grey was pushed back fifteen meters and he slammed into the wall of the tunnel after being overwhelmed by the quasi dragon’s power.

Four black spears shot at the quasi dragon, and it immediately retreated and hid once again.

‘It wasn’t injured.’ Void said feeling a little dejected by the quasi dragon defense.

Grey stood straight and looked at where the quasi dragon appeared last.

“Hmph! Even if we can’t kill it, it can’t do anything to us. Get going.” Grey said while positioning himself behind Void.

Since the quasi dragon wanted to play hide and seek, he didn’t have time to entertain it. He had already stayed in the Fusion State for just over a minute, so he couldn’t afford to waste any more time.

The duo started moving through the tunnel with unimaginable speed, since the quasi dragon hadn’t left this place, it meant that it couldn’t leave the place, so once they head out, they would be safe.

When they entered the tunnel, the quasi dragon appeared once more and attempted a sneak attack, but Grey sensed it like before and immediately attacked with an inscription.

The reason he didn’t use the blade, was because he didn’t dare to. The elemental essence required to use it for a single attack was immense. Even though the earth elemental essence was still normal, the consumption of the blade was higher than his absorption speed.

After blocking the sneak attack of the quasi dragon, Grey followed behind Void, trying to catch up.

But after moving only fifteen meters, the quasi dragon appeared once again and attacked.

Grey was forced to turn around and retreat slower than he normally would.

A minute went by with Grey being attacked by the quasi dragon at least twenty-eight times. Grey realized when the quasi dragon noticed they were going closer to the end of the tunnel, it increased the frequency of its attacks, and in some cases, it would fight with Grey.

But what left Grey puzzled was that the quasi dragon had the advantage in at least sixty percent of the times they battled, but for some reason, it would hide once again whenever he was managing to keep up.

Bang!

Grey crashed into the ground and slid on the floor, it was only after he hit the first step, did his body stop moving.

He hastily stood up, but bent down the next moment.

Swoos.h.!.+

Eight black arrows shot from behind him towards the quasi dragon that was stepping out of the tunnel.

The quasi dragon immediately tried to move to the side to escape from the oncoming arrows, but when it looked below it, it realized its fore and hind limbs had sunk into the ground.

Grey smirked when he saw this.

Roar!

The quasi dragon roared in pain when all eight arrows pierced into his body. Three of the black arrows pierced into his left forelimb, four struck its chest, and the last one struck its neck.

It struggled to get out of the muddy ground, but the more it struggled, the more it sank.

Grey made an earth mace that was three meters long and held it with both hands. The huge head of the mace was behind him as he slowly dragged it closer to where the quasi dragon was located.

The quasi dragon continued struggling when it saw Grey coming towards it with a weapon in tow. Before Grey got to it, it managed to take out its forelimbs with the help of its wings, but due to the small s.p.a.ce, it couldn’t spread them out properly.

Grey stomped on the ground, and an earthen cube pushed the head of the mace while he swung it forcefully towards the body of the quasi dragon.

Bam!

The mace struck it heavily, pus.h.i.+ng it back into the mud once again, but broke in the process.

“Go!” Grey yelled and flew up the stairs picking Void up in the process.

He didn’t dare to wait till the quasi dragon recovered before attempting to flee.

Roar!

An angry roar came out of the mouth of the quasi dragon as it sent a stream of fire towards Grey and Void who were almost halfway through the stairs.

Roar!

The quasi dragon roared fiercely and the place shook, when Grey turned around to take a glance, a look of dread immediately appeared in his eyes and he pushed himself to go faster.

The aura of the quasi dragon had currently gone past the Origin Plane and was now in the Overlord Plane.

Grey was presently at the Peak of the Origin Plane, and it was almost impossible for him to fight against the quasi dragon once it reaches the Overlord Plane.

But a shocking scene took place the next moment, the walls of the tunnel lit up with white array lines and continued s.h.i.+ning brighter before the lights shot off the walls, charging at the quasi dragon.

They formed weird array lines around the body of the quasi dragon, and it roared out in pain.

The previously rising aura of the quasi dragon gradually started declining.

‘What just happened?’ Grey thought but didn’t stay any further and when he landed on the last step, the statue moved on its own, creating an opening for the duo to escape.
