Chapter 1635 A Surprising Puppet
"There are so many of you who want His Highness' treasure. Who would've thought?" Grey said with a calm expression, but at the moment, he was in a position where escape was very easy. He sensed the aura of the people in front of him and the strongest was an Eighth stage Sovereign. He didn't show any signs of fear as he looked at them. "You little rat, so this was your aim all along?" One of the Gnomes asked. Grey counted a total of eight Gnomes, and only one of them was in the Fifth stage. In a real fight, that was probably the only one who stood a good chance against. But then again, these were Gnomes who relied heavily on the use of puppets. Grey could be said to be their worst nightmare. In a case like this where there are top experts in the Late stages of the Sovereign Plane, Grey knew his chances of victory were none. There's nothing he could do to fight against an Eighth stage Sovereign even when he could break off their connection to their puppets. It will only give him a short time to escape, nothing more. Unless he can fuse all his elements and use the strongest form of the fusion orb, he didn't stand any chance against someone like this.

Unless he can fuse all his elements and use the strongest form of the fusion orb, he didn't stand any chance against someone like this. He couldn't help but recall his Fusion State. If he still had access to that, he would've been able to fight them without any fears. 'What a shame.' This was the first period he has genuinely missed the fact that he couldn't use the Fusion State any longer. Most of the battles he has been in, had all generally been with those in the same stage or two to three stages above him. He could still deal with that, but anything above three stages was practically impossible for him to achieve. He couldn't use the full extent of the Fusion orb at will due to the power it contained, it's very difficult to keep it in a stable state. At the moment, he has no issues with creating a five elemental fusion orb, but that was his limit. Since entering the Gnome world, he hasn't had any cause to use such a destructive attack, so it has been kept hidden all this while. Grey looked at this group and for some reason, he was thinking if there was a way he could kill them. These were experts, and they would pose a threat to humans eventually given the relationship between them. If he could kill them all, he would be elated. But of course, he didn't have any plans of trying that right now. "A Necromancer dares to act in such a manner before me? Humph! You must be tired of living." The old man who tried to attack Grey from the start was the one who spoke up. He was a Sixth stage Sovereign, so seeing that Grey, a Second stage Sovereign who was also a Necromancer dared to do something like that in front of him was infuriating. Grey saw the Old man's attack and blocked. The attack forced him to retreat a few meters back. He already expected such strength, but experiencing it first hand was even more shocking. 'I can't hang around any longer.' Without any hesitation, Grey's figure was covered with lightning and he bolted out of the place. "You think you can escape?" The Old man snorted coldly and a Seventh stage Sovereign puppet appeared, covered with a white light, the puppet shot in Grey's direction. Grey, who was escaping, was shocked that this Old man actually has a Light Elementalist at this stage. Light Elementalists were very rare, even in the human world, yet this Gnome has one as a puppet. 'It's too fast, without using all I have, I can't escape from it.' Grey calculated quickly as he tried to increase his speed, but the puppet was faster than he was. If it had been a Wind or Lightning Elementalist, he wouldn't have had any issues with escaping from it. But a Light Elementalist is too fast. The puppet caught up to him, and just as it was about to grab him, he used the space element and vanished from sight. He couldn't care less about showing three elements. It wasn't something too out of the ordinary anyway. The Old man didn't expect something like this to happen, so when the puppet failed to grab a hold of Grey, he paused momentarily. That was enough time for Grey to escape from the area, diving into the sea just outside the island, hiding there with the aid of the water. The Old man paused for some time, and recalled the puppet. All eight individuals looked at the scene, a bit surprised Grey was able to escape from the clutches of this Old man. The Old man is renowned for his Light Elemental puppet. He has grown it to become so strong for over a hundred years, yet he couldn't catch a young child. "I didn't think you would be here too, Old Light." A lady said in a soft voice, her words oozing seduction, but they all knew it was anything but. She's older than all of them present, and was also one of the two Eighth stage Sovereigns present. She's known for her vile methods, and has been well known for hundreds of years now. The Old man who was referred to as Old Light turned to look at the lady. She looked to be in her early twenties, but they all knew otherwise. "Senior." He bowed hurriedly to show his respect. "You can't even stop a child from leaving this place. You'll be in trouble once he goes back to inform the Second Prince." One of the other men present said. He was a Seventh stage Sovereign, and he wasn't one to be taken lightly. "You were here, I didn't see you doing anything to stop him." Old Light said coldly. From the way they acted, it's easy to see they seem to have some sort of animosity towards each other.
