Chapter 1351 Forced To Help



Alice saw the desperation in Elaris' face and moved closer to her.

"What does he have to help you with?" She asked with a friendly tone.

Seeing Alice asking, Elaris lowered her tone and spoke softly, ensuring only Alice could hear her.

"A necromancer marked me. My Teacher helped seal it, but it's still noticeable by powerful necromancers and even easier for Gnomes." Elaris explained.

Grey could remove the mark, something someone as powerful as her Teacher couldn't. She doesn't travel often due to the mark on her. If Grey could help her remove the mark, she would be indebted to him. She was from the top Faction in the Continent, and there are certain things she could offer Grey that he wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. However, Grey doesn't seem thrilled at the thought of those treasures.

After listening to her, Alice understood why she asked Grey for help. She knew Grey had been marked by necromancers, but for some reason, he was not only able to remove the mark, but he could even sense if necromancers were close by. She didn't overthink it before, but now she understood that what Grey managed to do was something that was deemed impossible.

She glanced at Grey, astounded by the feats he was seemingly capable of achieving.

'How does he keep doing all this?'

At the moment, if she were told a God was helping Grey out, she would believe it was true. Even without anyone saying that, she felt that was what was happening. Grey is just too unique when compared to others. First off, he didn't awaken an element, and now, he has all eight elements. He already has four domains, and the probability of him having all eight before he gets to the Peak of the Sovereign Plane is very high.

She returned from her train of thoughts and looked at Elaris, "I'll talk to him."

A gleam of hope flashed through Elaris' eyes when she heard this. From the confidence behind Alice's tone, she felt there was a good possibility she might be able to convince Grey to help her.

Grey, who was prepared to leave, didn't have a good feeling when Alice went over to meet Elaris. Seeing that she was coming back, his face fell.

"Grey, help her out. You know how hellish it was for you when they were hunting you down."

"I found a solution myself, while endangering my life. I have zero obligations to help her."

"You're a good person."

"To those I'm close to, she's not someone I would take the stress of helping out."

Klaus and Reynolds joined in convincing Grey. Klaus wasn't too interested in Elaris. Yes, she was beautiful, but he already had someone in his heart. Honestly, he wanted to make sure Grey got into her good book. Maybe she might start developing feelings for him if he helped her out.

"You guys are impossible! Do you know how long it will take to remove the mark? Not just the time, but the burden it will cause on me?"

"We don't. That's why we're begging you to do it." Klaus replied with a cheeky smile.

"If she had come while we were killing Gnomes, it would've been easy. But now, most of the Gnomes are gone, and locating the few that are left will not be easy." Grey gave up and tried to reason with his friends.

"You can track them, remember?" Reynolds commented.

Grey felt a vein pop in his head. If not for the fact that he didn't want others to think he was a savage person, he would've attacked Reynolds after his statement.

Reynolds saw Grey's expression and sneakily moved closer to Elaris.

Elaris noticed this and chuckled softly. From the looks of it, Grey's friends wanted him to help her out. And given how Grey was acting, it was clear that he couldn't go against all three of them.

'I'll see how you're able to reject me now.' She was pleased internally. If she knew, she would've come to meet him when she started hearing of him dealing with the Gnomes. With Grey's friends present, they would've been able to convince him to help her.

Grey grabbed his head and looked at Elaris, seeing her pleased expression, he felt even more annoyed. But Alice, Klaus, and Reynolds wanted him to help her.

"This will take some of the time we're supposed to use on our journey. Are you sure you don't want to think it through?" He asked his friends.

They nodded. There was no change in their decision, and they felt Grey should help her out.

Grey sighed in defeat. Since the others wanted him to help her out, then he didn't have any choice. Of course, the only reason he agreed to do it was because it wouldn't put him in any danger. If it were to be something dangerous, he would've never agreed to it, even if it meant his friends would be angered by his decision. Ultimately, it was his decision to make.

Elaris was elated when she saw this and thanked Alice, Klaus, and Reynolds before thanking Grey. She knew if Grey didn't want to do it, there wasn't much his friends could do about it.

"Let's go. We should hurry. I don't want to stay here for more than three days."

Elaris nodded and followed behind Grey. She could sense that he was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane. During their first encounter, although she knew he was powerful, she was also aware that he was in the Ninth stage. But now, Grey was a Peak Venerable, just like she was.

'If he uses that attack now, I wonder how lethal it would be.'noVE.lb.1n

The scene of Grey's fusion inscriptions flashed through her eyes when he noticed his increased strength. At that time, the attack was already more than she could deal with. Someone like Grey will definitely improve after breaking through a stage, so his attack power would be on another level now.
