Chapter 1012 Hunt Them Down

Grey soon caught up with the duo who left the Prince a while ago. They just met with a group of three and were telling them to return back to the hideout.

After speaking with them, they continued their journey forward as they wanted to make sure they called the rest of them back to the hideout.

Grey looked at the trio, only one of them was in the Late stages of the Sage Plane, being in the Eighth stage, and the others were in the Mid stages, Sixth and Fifth stages respectively.

'Void, don't tell me you can't handle even one of them this time.' Grey said.

'I can kill all three, not to mention one.' Void said smugly.

'Oh, then I shall leave them to you.' Grey's reply threw Void off his feet and he almost fell from his shoulder.

'Can't you tell that I'm bragging?' Void thought internally, but his pride couldn't make him say it out loud.

'It will take too long, you know we still have to follow those guys.' Void said coolly, making Grey chuckle.

Grey knew Void didn't want to fight against them on his own. He didn't say much as he followed him. The duo made quick work of their opponents since they weren't on the same level in the first place. Grey could take care of them on his own, and with Void's help, it became easier.

After killing the trio, Grey and Void went after the duo once again. To make their work easier, they just tracked them from afar. Once they've contacted a group and told them to return, they would intercept the group and then kill them.

Time went by and before they knew it, they spent an entire day killing people from the Gnome race.

Two days later.

The duo who were sent out to call back those from the Gnome race returned. On getting to their hideout, they were a little surprised by how empty it was. Other than the Prince, there was no one else inside.

"Where are the others?" The Prince asked when he saw them looking around suspiciously.

"They are not back yet?" One of them couldn't help but ask.

The Prince looked at him with a confused expression, not sure what the young man was talking about.

"None of them has returned?" The other asked when he saw the expression of the Prince.

"What are you talking about?" The Prince couldn't help but ask when he saw the faces of the young men.

"We told them to come back, each of them. Other than a few of them at the Peak, the others returned immediately after we spoke to them." One of the young men explained.

The Prince quickly understood why they were like that before saying, "No one has returned yet."

The duo exchanged glances after hearing what the Prince said, they couldn't help but put on confused expressions.

"But... we didn't see anyone on our way back." One of the young men said, a little shaky.

Currently, there is only one explanation, well, technically two, but they didn't want to think of the other probability. The first probability was that none of them returned, the other probability they didn't want to think of was that they were all dead. The chances of that happening were very low, but with someone like Grey who had been hunting them down being around, it made such low possibilities very high.

The Prince's expression changed slightly, "Don't tell me..."

"Impossible, he can't kill so many of them on his own." One of the young men said.

"They are not together, and with what he has in his arsenal, there's a high chance that he can take on all of them on his own. I shouldn't have too many problems with doing the same, so I can't rule out that possibility." The Prince said after some analysis.

Although he hated to admit it, Grey was someone he acknowledged for his strength. Even if Grey was using a special method to increase his strength, it still didn't change the fact that he was a formidable opponent.

"But... if... if he truly kills all of them, then what about Lady Kira?" One of them asked with a fearful expression.

"She was not in the hideout in the first place, hopefully she's safe. If not..." The Prince didn't know what to say since there was a high chance that Grey might have killed her even before coming to fight against him.

The duo dropped their heads and clenched their fists.

"That lousy human. Since when did they get so proud?" One of them asked, it was clear that he was boiling with anger.

"He's not like the rest, pray you don't meet him. If you do meet him, run." The Prince said to the duo.

The duo exchanged glances before letting out a scoff. They are always together, and even the Prince has a hard time dealing with them, yet he was warning them against someone who couldn't even defeat him. As long as Grey couldn't defeat the Prince, they felt that he was not their match.

"I'm serious, he's not like others I've fought. He might not be able to beat me, but he can defeat you two." The Prince said.

This time, the duo's faces changed.

"Don't worry, we'll leave as soon as we see him." They replied simultaneously.

Of course they didn't believe Grey would be able to defeat them, but they didn't want it to look like they were disobeying the Prince.

"If you're leaving, remember, kill any human you see. Since he has waged a war against us, we should return the favor." The Prince said with a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Since Grey started it, he would hunt down every human in this secret realm and kill them. He didn't believe there was anyone else that had Grey's strength. An individual like Grey is someone that only appears once in thousands of years, so there was no way humans would have two at the same time.
