Chapter 993 Reunited
The young man rushed after Scott, and just as he was about to attack, Scott"s body was covered with a ray of light.
Before the young man could react, Scott was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh?"
Confusion appeared on his face as he looked around, visibly confused as to what just happened. If his guess was right, then Scott just used the light element. But there had not been reports of Scott using his light element before.
Those from the Nether Faction had shocked expressions, but looking at the faces of those from the Burchard Family, they knew this was not something unknown to them.
The leader of the Nether Faction felt a tinge of annoyance. This young man"s effort had gone to waste all because of their lack of information.
"Those morons can"t do anything right." He cursed under his breath.
He naturally had people watching the Burchard Family hence giving them most of the information they needed. He never thought that the person had never come across Scott or even heard of him having the light element.
Now the young man was going to suffer because of it.
Back on the platform.
After dodging the young man"s attack, Scott appeared behind him and attacked once again. The young man was already bleeding heavily from the previous attack which he took head-on just to get a chance to attack Scott, now, he was unable to protect himself once again and his back was. .h.i.t by Scott"s attack.
He crashed to the ground and immediately went unconscious on the platform.
Scott didn"t attack any further, since his attack couldn"t kill the young man, there was no use attacking again since it would be against the rules of the compet.i.tion.
After defeating his first opponent, it was time to move on to the next. He didn"t really need to rest since he preserved most of his strength during the first battle.
The leader of the Burchard Family clenched his fists angrily as he looked at the young man left. Seeing how energetic Scott was, he couldn"t help but shake his head. He knew this compet.i.tion was over from the moment Grey defeated Bill.
In fact, Grey"s appearance threw the compet.i.tion off its feet and the predicted winners didn"t win because of a single anomaly on the other side.
Just as expected, the young man stepped on stage with Scott and undoubtedly lost after almost ten minutes. The battle wasn"t too intense since the young man was trying his best to ensure he didn"t get injured too early.
With the compet.i.tion coming to an end, Scott and those from the Burchard Family fixed their attention back on Grey who was still unconscious, although his appearance was not the same as before. He had visibly added flesh and was not all bones and skin anymore.
"Lucas..." The Head of the Burchard Family spoke up.
Lucas, who had his eyes on Grey, raised his head to look at the Head of the Burchard Family.
"How"s he doing now?"
"Fine, he"ll be good in no time."
"Alright. Thanks to him we defeated the Nether Faction. Naturally, he has every right in entering the secret realm whenever he wants to. Also, since he"s from the Dawson Family, you can send ten youngsters over to train in this secret realm." The Head of the Burchard Family said.
He was truly grateful to Grey, not just him, but the entire Burchard Family.
"I"ll think about it. Since the compet.i.tion is over, I"ll be leaving with my son now. I"ll send him over once he recovers so he can train there." Lucas stood up with Grey.
He couldn"t leave him here since they would probably try to check for the abnormalities with Grey.
Before anyone else could say a word, Lucas vanished with Grey.
Those from the Burchard Family exchanged glances before shaking their heads wryly. Lucas was known for not being much of a socialist. He rarely communicated with people, and although very modest, he was a genius, so he wasn"t without pride.
...
The days went by in a flash and before long, two weeks had gone by in the blink of an eye.
The Western Continent, in the Upoya Region.
This was the place where the Dawson Family was located.
In a cave, three figures could be seen speaking, while a youth could be seen lying on an ice bed.
"How could you be so careless and allow him to hurt himself to this extent?"
The voice of an enraged lady sounded out in the cave.
"It"s not that I allowed him to hurt himself to this extent. If I stopped him, he would"ve lost the battle."
A man tried to explain with an apologetic tone.
"Is winning more important than my son"s health?" The lady asked again, this time, clearly more infuriated by the man"s response.
"Martha..." The man called out softly.
The trio in the cave were none other than Lucas Dawson, Martha, and the man guarding Grey. Grey was the one lying on the ice bed.
When Lucas returned to the Western Continent, he stayed for a while and finally decided to call Martha over. When she arrived, she naturally exploded when she saw Grey"s situation.
Lucas has been trying to calm her down for almost an hour now, but he hasn"t really been successful.
"He"ll be fine."
"I know, I just hate the fact that he"s in such a situation when I meet him." Martha replied with a downcast expression.
"What did you say about necromancers?" She suddenly recalled something and turned to Grey"s guardian.
"Yes, he was marked. Not just by a necromancer, but one of those guys increased the range of the mark." Grey"s guardian replied.
"Hmph! Those filthy things, they should pray I don"t get my hands on them." Martha snorted coldly.
"I"ll advise he doesn"t go to the secret realm of the Burchard Family, we all know that place has a portal connecting to the realm of that race. If they sense the mark on him, he will be in danger." Grey"s guardian said.
Martha and Lucas exchanged glances, before turning to look at Grey.
"That will be his decision to make." Lucas said. He would never interfere with Grey"s decisions, this was the reason he allowed Grey to fight with Bill even when he was harming himself.
This doesn"t mean he would let him do as he pleases in a situation that might take his life.
