Chapter 1298 I've Never Seen Your Emperor

Grey knew he was walking into an ambush, but there was nothing he was really scared of. With his proficiency with arrays, there was no way someone would be able to use it to trap him. So even if they create an array with plans of using it to stop him, it's going to be unsuccessful. noVe/lb/In

....

A few minutes later.

In a pathway through the forest, the two Princes could be seen casually walking.

"We've already gone far from the castle, if he's not coming we better head back instead of wasting our time." The Second Prince said, irritated with what they were doing.

"Don't worry brother, I believe he will show up." The Seventh Prince calmed his brother down.

Although he didn't want to say it, he wasn't also in support of this, but he was confident that his elder brother would be able to keep him safe before the others step out. They had to at least make sure Grey wouldn't be able to escape before stepping out.

The Second Prince was about to speak again when he sensed Grey's presence, "He's here, and he's not even hiding himself. Such confidence will be the end of him."

"He dared to come to the castle, you should already know he dares to do anything." The Seventh Prince wasn't surprised that Grey came, if anything, he would be surprised if Grey didn't show up.

"I can't believe you miss me already, it has only been a few hours, and here you two are." Grey said as he appeared.

"You're too confident in your abilities." The Second Prince said, he looked at Grey and asked, "What do you think of yourself?"

"I'm supreme, people like you can't harm me." Grey's response provoked the Second Prince, but he didn't attack.

"Where are the others, are they preparing a surprise for me or something?" Grey looked around, he couldn't sense the presence of others which made him a little worried.

'Void, take the bunny leader and scout the area, I need to be aware of the positions of the others.' He said to Void who was hiding in the void.

Void and the bunny leader without making a fuss, the Second Prince who was already at the Peak didn't sense anything strange. The Seventh Prince however sensed some ripples in space, the space element was one of his five elements, and he was quite good with it.

He looked around but didn't sense any abnormalities. He decided to stay alert since he knew Grey was a tricky person to deal with.

Grey noticed the slight change in the body language of the Seventh Prince and couldn't help but applaud his sharp senses. Void and the bunny leader were too fast for the Seventh Prince to sense, if he were in the same stage as the Second Prince, then he might've been able to sense them better.

"You clearly know there are others, are all humans this stupid or are you just a special case?" The Second Prince said with a straight face. To be honest, he didn't see the reason for Grey to come here just because they were leaving the castle. Even if he wanted them to stay, anyone with brains would know that they were walking into a trap.

"I'm special." Grey replied with a smile, still not able to sense anyone, he said, "Be quick with this, I have some things I need to attend to. Since they are not coming, I'll be taking my leave."

Grey was about to leave when a voice sounded in the area.

"Don't be in such a hurry my friend, the fun just started."

Grey turned to see who was speaking, but to his shock, he couldn't find anyone.

'Void, any news?' He asked the duo. They were his greatest hope in sensing people hiding.

The reply the duo gave him was one he didn't expect to hear, neither of them had been able to sense anyone else in the area.

This meant that to their senses, other than the two Princes, there was no one else present except for Grey.

"I don't like speaking with people I can't see. If you're not going to show yourself, I'll take it that you're a coward, just like all the Gnomes." Grey's eyes were full of disdain.

He wanted to force this person, or the others lying in wait out. Once he could see the full strength of the Gnomes in this secret realm, he would think of how to sort the issue out with them.

"My Prince, if you will." The voice came from all around.

Grey's eyes scanned everywhere, but he didn't see or sense anything, his gaze fell on the body of the Princes and he noticed that after the voice made its last statement, their bodies showed signs of movement.

The Princes were still standing on the same spot, but a few more figures started to appear around them, in the space of five seconds, eight figures appeared, all at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane. Unlike the Second Prince, each of these people looked well over forty which indicated that they possessed sufficient experience.

"You're the one the Emperor wants dead." The man who the voice belonged to spoke up.

Grey took a glance at the man, and seeing how he was speaking, he knew he was most likely the one leading the mission.

"I've never met your Emperor, I wonder why he wants me dead." Grey wore a thoughtful expression as he asked.

"Kill him."

The man wasn't in the mood to have a long conversation with Grey, seeing that Grey was there, he attacked. Unlike the Princes, he had nothing to tell Grey.

Grey was taken aback, he wanted to delay them a little longer and try to get Void and the bunny leader to help him out with creating an array he could use to make life difficult for them. The man obviously wasn't interested in giving him that chance.
