Chapter 791 Intentionally Letting Them Escape

Bang!

Grey's fire and lightning orb attack exploded out and encompa.s.sed the remaining four horned men, as well as the horned lady.

The man he switched places with was already on the ground since the young horned lady was unable to retract her attack on time.

He used this opportunity to attack the four horned men that made up the rest of the formation. The formation was already on the verge of breaking, so his attack did the trick. The four horned men were quickly taken care of before the young horned lady could regain herself.

Void was still watching the battle from the side, with no plans of stepping in to help. He wasn't needed anyway, so there was no need for him to step in.

After Grey took out the four horned men, he was left with only the young horned lady. With the help of his array, he blinked so much that the young horned lady couldn't keep up with his speed.

She soon gave up and attacked wildly with her wind element, in hopes of hitting Grey with one of the attacks. Grey dodged the attack and slowly started to attack her.

Since she had a very tough defense, Grey turned to the darkness element. He would slowly use it to corrode her without her knowledge, as time went on, she would start to lose her strength and before long, she would die as long as she didn't escape.

Two minutes later. He had infected her with enough darkness element that she started to feel tired. He didn't stop there.

With the young horned lady sensing her decrease in strength, she quickly realized something was wrong, and without even thinking, she turned around and fled.

The beast she brought with her was already long dead, so she had to run on her own.

Grey didn't try to stop her since he knew he had done just enough to at least cripple her for life. That's if she escaped death, that is.

The darkness element was an evil element when placed in the hands of a mad genius. After coming in contact with so many necromancers, and doing a bit of research for himself with the puppet corpses he acquired, he got to know a thing or two about the body. He knew where to infuse more darkness element that would make it fatal.

Even if a Sage Plane Elementalist were to come to the aid of the young horned lady, there was very little they could do to help her. Keeping her alive would already be a good result.

Grey watched her leave before turning to the battle closest to him. He couldn't stand by and watch the others get beaten. Of the five geniuses, only two now had a clear advantage over their opponents, the young man who seemed to be the leader of the group, and the young man named Gil.

The person fighting close to him was a young lady, she was still in a stalemate with her opponent, but she knew if not for the suppression of the gravity, she would've been able to take him out.

The young horned lady's escape alerted all of them, and they knew the battle had taken a turn for the worse for them. They tried escaping, but the geniuses didn't give them the chance to.

Grey quickly joined in on the attack and he was able to injure the horned young man within a few seconds of involvement. He didn't forget to send in tendrils of darkness element to tweak the body of the young man, ensuring that he wouldn't be able to survive this.

'Void, follow them, with can't allow such valuable horns to go wasted now, can we?' Grey said as he moved to the next target.

The young horned man fled when he noticed his strength was leaving his body from his injury.

Ten minutes later.

The last horned young lady was unable to escape, the reason being that since the others were already free, there was no way they could let her escape.

"Why are you intentionally letting them escape?" The first young lady among the geniuses he helped questioned.

They would've been able to kill them, but for some reason, once the horned man is wounded by Grey, he would present an opportunity for him to escape.

"Relax, they wouldn't go too far." Grey's reply was casual.

His real motive though was to ensure that he got all the horns to himself. And he didn't want to use too much of his strength since he knew that there would be more battles to be fought. Besides, he still had to be cautious of this group.

"You…"

"You don't have to worry about that, we now know the abilities of the people groomed with the orbs. If I'm not mistaken, there would be others stronger than these guys." The young man who was the leader of the group interrupted the young lady as she was about to continue her questioning.

"Thank you for your help." He turned to Grey.

"I only fought because they forced me out." Grey didn't hide his intentions. If he wasn't forced out by the young horned lady, he wouldn't mind watching the battle from the side. He was certain that these geniuses wouldn't lose so easily, even though only two of them were able to gain the advantage in the fight.

He felt, just like him, they were also hiding their strength.

Grey's words took them by surprise since they felt that he would try to say something along the lines of fighting for humanity. The fact that he stated his mind made this group look at him in a new light.

"It doesn't matter, you still helped us, and we're grateful for that." The young man said.

"You would've been fine anyway." Grey muttered, although in a low voice, the group heard it clearly.

Gil laughed before saying, "I like this guy."

Grey's honesty made him different from many geniuses their age. They could tell that when he said this, he wasn't trying to bootlick them or anything, he just stated what he felt was the truth.
