Chapter 1001 Chased Around
The secret realm.
It has been a week since Grey and those from the Burchard Family stepped into the place, and other than Grey, only a few people had seen those from the Gnome race.
Grey had been chased from the moment he stepped foot in this place, making his life a little miserable. While Grey was going through h.e.l.l, those from the Burchard Family were having a great time since they didn"t have to worry too much about being attacked by the Gnome race, they focused heavily on searching for treasures. There had been a few people who had even broken through.
…
In a cave near a waterfall.
"How can I be so unlucky?" Grey questioned as he looked around.
He had seen over twenty buildings in the s.p.a.ce of a week now, but none of them had the s.p.a.ce he was searching for. What was worse was that he had been engaged in combat multiple times since the chase started, and he hadn"t been able to get the advantage since whenever he was on the verge of being victorious, someone else would step into the fray and make things hard for him.
"You"ve always been a little unlucky. I bet Klaus would"ve accidentally stumbled on one by one." Void commented.
Grey looked at him but didn"t refute it, in terms of luck, Klaus seemed to be highly favored by the world.
"I hate this. Who would"ve thought that I"d have to run for my life the entire time I"m here? I haven"t even had the time to train. Isn"t it best I just go back to the Aurora Continent?" He was getting a little frustrated.
"Not really, the constant battle is good for you." Void replied.
"I know, I just hate that I have to be the one running. Why don"t we reverse the situation and I become the one hunting them?" Grey said as he was getting ready to head out once again.
He could already sense the aura of people nearby. Without any doubt, he knew it was the people from the Gnome race.
Void went out to check on it and confirmed it. The duo had no choice but to leave once again.
While they were running, Grey caught sight of a large figure. This figure was larger than even those Barbarians he saw in the Aurora Continent when he first went there. He could sense the frightening strength hidden in their muscular body.
"The third race in this place?" He was a little confused.
Due to being chased around, he forgot there was actually a third race that entered this place as well.
"I think Sylvia called them giants. Well, they"re not much of a giant if you ask me." Void remarked, studying the figure in front of him.
"They can regulate their body size. Walking around with such a large body would make them an easy target for people." Grey said.
Even though he was being chased, he still took his time to study the figure ahead of him.???e???ｎ????.c??
Not just him, but the figure ahead was staring at him vigilantly. This giant was already in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane, and it was clear that he wasn"t far from the Peak.
Grey, unfortunately, didn"t have the luxury of time to stare at the giant for too long.
After running for a few minutes, another building soon appeared before him.
"This place better have it!"
Five minutes later.
Boom!
Grey"s figure bounced off the ground as he shot out of the building.
"d.a.m.n it! You cowards! Why don"t you come at me one on one and see if you can last ten moves." He cursed out loud before running away once again.
He was unfortunate as the building had no secret s.p.a.ce, instead, there was someone from the Gnome race there. This person was actually very close to breaking through to the Elemental Sovereign Plane.
Cursing his bad luck, Grey continued his escape.
He dashed through the woods and as he was running, Void sensed something.
"There."
Grey looked in the direction Void was pointing and there was a cave entrance there.
"Treasure? You know I don"t have time for that."
"I can sense strong spatial fluctuations there."
"Oh, why didn"t you say so from the start?"
Grey changed his direction and headed straight for the cave.
"If this place is what I"m searching for, I"ll need to lure one of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds in as well."
Coming up with a plan, Grey stepped into the cave.
The first thing that he was was a dried-up skeleton.
"Well that"s not encouraging." He thought internally.
However, the fear of being captured didn"t allow him to stay outside.
The cave had an eerie aura, and he could sense that there was something deadly lurking within the cave.
He followed Void"s directions and soon came to the place where the spatial fluctuation was coming from.
When he confirmed that the place could indeed send him to another secret s.p.a.ce, he calmed himself and sat down cross-legged in front of it. He was waiting for the first person from the Gnome race that would get to him.
It didn"t take long before the first person arrived.
It was a young lady in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane.
"You"re pretty good at running, human." The young lady mocked.
"And you"re pretty bad at chasing. I"m weaker than you are, yet you haven"t been able to capture me. If I were in your position, I"d have already killed you by now." Grey didn"t feel bothered by her words.
The young lady felt irritated by Grey"s words, and just as she was about to attack, Grey entered the spatial rift and disappeared.
She gritted her teeth, looked around, and charged in as well.
These spatial rifts that transport them to a secret place tend to be quite dangerous, hence her hesitation. However, due to the strong mark on Grey"s body, they could tell that he was most likely a threat to them. Just the fact that he managed to escape all this while had already proven that he was not ordinary.
