Chapter 1223 Shouldn't Have Told Them



With seven people taking care of the array, they were able to quickly break the first layer of the array.

The moment they broke it, Grey was the first to rush out of the area, the second he came out, he took Cori and left the area immediately.

The golden robed man was the next, he took his children and retreated as well.

The other five who were working with them were a little slower, but they still managed to make it out of the place.

The second they left the place, a large explosion followed suit, making the place shine with a bright white light that engulfed the entire City. This City was well over fifteen kilometers wide and over twenty kilometers long, but the light engulfed everywhere.

After the light died down, they all returned to the scene.

When Grey escaped with such speed, those waiting outside didn't need anyone to explain anything to them as they all rushed to an area that they felt was safe when they also saw the golden robed man running frantically from the place as well.

Before the other five came out, there was no one else waiting outside the array area, all of them had evacuated the area.

"Such a powerful attack." The golden robed man spoke, fear was evident in his voice.

He turned to Grey once again. Each time something happens, he only gets dumbfounded by Grey.

They were all in the place together, he was the strongest, yet Grey was able to sense the danger before anyone. He did warn them as he was leaving. But before his voice faded he was already nowhere to be seen. The golden robed man sensed the danger at the time Grey's voice was about to fade and he left immediately. The other two escaped thanks to Grey's warnings.

They sensed the danger, but only when they were already at the edge of the array and the attack was about to be unleashed then.

If not for Grey's warning, they would've most likely died, or if they were lucky, they would've been badly injured.

The five of them looked at Grey gratefully. None of them were annoyed Grey didn't try to help them, he warned them, that was enough. They knew if he wanted to save them, he would spend a longer time to save all of them, so he left while warning them of the danger.

Grey didn't speak to either of them, his heart was still racing. The hairs on his hand were still standing, it was evident how scared he was when he sensed the danger.

Looking around, he realized that none of the buildings close to the place got damaged. In fact, even the place a meter away from where the explosion occurred didn't show any signs of suffering such a powerful blast.

'Looks like there's something that keeps it all within that area.' He heaved a sigh of relief after this discovery.

"Are we still going to try to break it?" One of the five men asked.

"This is the only way forward. Either we try, or we give up." The golden robed man said.

"We've made it this far, we can't turn back now." Someone from the group said.

"That's easy for you to say, you weren't the one whose life was in danger." One of the five men said coldly. I think you should take a look at

They would never put their lives on the line for the benefit of these people. If they were to attempt to break the next layer and die in the process, these people would turn around and not even think about them after leaving. While their own lives would be cut short just for wanting to break an array that would benefit all of them.

Thinking about it, they felt the risk outweighed the reward, in their opinion.

The golden robed man saw their expressions and knew they wouldn't dare to enter that place again, and he didn't blame them. His eyes moved to Grey who was staring at the array, clearly fascinated. He couldn't help but wonder if Grey was fascinated by the array he ran away from with his tail hidden between his legs a few seconds ago.

Grey naturally couldn't be bothered with them, he was still studying the array. Unlike most people who only saw the lines stacked on top of each other and the complexity, what he saw was an art, a beautiful, beautiful, art. It was so compelling that he couldn't peel his eyes away from it.

He saw a few nodes in the array and laughed in delight.

His sudden strange behavior stunned a few that were present, while the son of the Dawson Family Head felt amused.

Void almost wanted to facepalm as he whispered in Cori's ears, "He's doing that thing again. So embarrassing."

"What's he doing?" Cori asked Void curiously.

"Whenever he sees something new to learn, he gets excited. Look, his hands are shaking, he's getting close to the peak of excitement. He has probably seen how to break this array by now." Void replied.

Cori looked at Grey, amazed. This was the first time she was seeing Grey break out of his usual calm character.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Void comforted her.

While Void was telling Cori about Grey's behavior he found embarrassing, Grey was nodding and getting more excited.

"I can break it. I just need three people, including you, Sir, which makes it four." Grey said to the golden robed man.

The golden robed man looked at the five who helped them the last time.

"Don't worry, you guys will be at the edge. This time, it will attack faster than the previous time." Grey said.

When they heard it would attack faster than the previous time, they all took a step back. They barely managed to escape the last time with their lives, and now Grey wanted them to enter this one which would explode faster than the previous one.

The golden robed man looked at Grey with a disapproving eye.

Grey soon understood the mistake in his words. He knew these people were still afraid, but he didn't think about it when he said this time the attack would be faster.

'I shouldn't have told them.'
