1020: Visiting The Giants

Visiting The Giants

They kept on going from one place to another but they couldn't find any of the people that they captured, not just them, but those at the Peak were missing as well. 2

When they got to the last location, they saw a figure standing there with a broad smile on his face. 

"I can't believe it took you so long to figure it out." Grey chuckled as they arrived.

A group of over fifty people was tricked by one person and they were all green from embarrassment. Not even one of them was able to figure it out. 

What made things harder for them was that Grey didn't try to fight with the people guarding the place, after all, they were at the Peak of the Sage Plane. He directly transported them with their supposed prisoners together. 

Other than the sudden disappearance of their auras, it would be difficult for others to know what was happening. 

"Since you all took the time to come see me off, it's only right I give you a goodbye gift before I leave." Grey said.

The ground the people were standing on soon lit up, not just the ground, but the sky was suddenly filled with orbs that radiated a shocking yet frightening aura. Other than the Prince, the leader of the Giants, and a few who were at the Peak, the others felt a threat, a threat to their lives. Without hesitation, they hurriedly tried to escape. 

They were trying to escape when they realized the painful reality of their predicament, they couldn't leave the area. Something kept taking them back to the place. 

Boom!

A large explosion soon followed right after, along with a bright light, enveloping everyone in the place. 

Grey and the now captured members of the Gnome and Giant race who were guarding the captured humans stared at the large explosion from a distance. 

"It's quite beautiful, don't you think?" Grey asked all six of them. 

The humans who were captured were still there and they stared at Grey like he was no human. Grey's strength was shocking, and not only did he rescue them, but it turned out that he used the opportunity to kill or injure others from the other races as well. 

"You filthy human, the Prince would make a puppet of you sooner or later." One of the Gnomes cursed hatefully. 

They all looked at Grey with hatred in their eyes. 

"You don't have to worry about that, no matter what happens, you wouldn't know about it." Grey's eyes turned cold and he casually killed them. 

He had always been a decisive person. From the start, while planning on how to rescue the people, he also prepared his gift when leaving. Originally, those items were to aid him in battle, but who would've thought that he wouldn't even have to fight. 

From what he could tell, the Prince already felt that they would kill him no matter what, hence he entertained him for so long. If he had known about Grey's plans, he would've attacked Grey the moment he saw him. 

After killing them, he turned to the humans with him. 

"You guys should hide for some time, I don't think these guys will let this go easily. They're after me, so I'll make more appearances to draw their attention away from others." Grey said.

He just realized his slaughter of the people from the Gnome race was a mistake since it would affect the rest of the humans that were in the realm. Well, originally, it wouldn't be much of a problem, but the Giants joining the battle was out of his expectations. 

'I'll have to pay them a visit.' He thought internally. 

Void soon appeared on his shoulder, his face somewhat pale. 

'How's the situation?' He asked as soon as he felt him. 

'Most of those below the Seventh stage is dead. A few in the Seventh and Eighth stages died as well while the others were injured. The injuries vary…' Void gave him a quick report of the situation. 

Things turned out better than what Grey expected since he managed to take out over twenty-five people in such a short time. The Prince and the leader of the Giants would be more than infuriated after this. According to Void, the leader of the Giant didn't seem to take his anger at Grey, rather, he was having a quarrel with the Prince of the Gnome race.

The Prince was the one who got him involved in this in the first place, so he was annoyed by it. 

Hearing this reaffirmed Grey's desire to visit the Giant race. He didn't want anything from them, all he needed was for them to remain neutral, just like before. As long as they didn't join in, then humans would be fine. This was not the first time that this place had been built, so it was natural for humans and Gnomes to engage in battles. There have even been times when all-out wars take place here. Some wars lasted for years, while others lasted days. 

Grey knew he wouldn't be able to visit the Giants now, given that he just killed a few, so he waited for a week before he decided to head there. 

Within that week, he heard a piece of news that came out as good for humans, the Prince of the Gnome race had broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane and as such has been transported to the other side. 

…

The hideout of the Giants. 

Grey swaggered in, just like when the Prince came here the last time. 

The Giants felt insulted once again, but thinking of Grey's strength, they shut up and let him in. 

"Human, what do you want?" The leader of the Giants asked. 

Since Grey killed some of his people the last time, he had been very gloomy. 

"I came to talk to you." Grey went straight to business. 

"I'm listening." The leader held in his anger and waited. He knew attacking Grey carelessly was a bad idea, he had already seen some of the things Grey was capable of, and not many people here would survive if Grey attacked.
