Chapter 1019 Taking Them Away In Their Presence
Outside the place where the execution was to be held.
Grey"s figure could be seen hiding by the side. He knew coming here with others would not do them any good, so he came alone.
"Grey, what"s the plan?" Void asked.
"Rescue them, well if I can"t rescue them I"ll have to leave them. I can"t take the risk of dying because of others." Grey replied.
"I already know that, I mean how do you plan on rescuing them?" Void almost facepalmed when he heard Grey"s reply. Even a moron would know the reason Grey came here.
Grey scratched his head awkwardly before telling Void his plan.
He wanted to cause a disturbance in another area, drawing the attention of the Prince of the Gnome race as well as the leader of the Giants. He would mark Void with his s.p.a.ce imprint. All Void needed to do was to search for each of the people captured and notify Grey, who would in turn rush there and take them to another location.
He originally wanted to use Void"s s.p.a.ce domain to cut them off from the world, but he was able to find out that they were not kept in the same location, so doing that was out of the question.
"What are you waiting for then, until they"ve been killed?" Void asked with a teasing expression.
Grey shook his head before stepping out.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Void was shocked when he saw Grey walking out.
"Distracting them, make sure you find them as soon as you can." Grey spread his arms apart and walked straight into the crowd without even hiding his aura.
When they sensed the aura of a human, every single individual in the place turned to look at him.
"You"re bold and gutsy, I admire that." The Prince of the Gnome race commented.
"Haha, of course, I dared to go to your hideout alone, do you think I"d refuse your invitation?" Grey laughed as he took a seat.
"I"m surprised you came, I didn"t think you would. Most people would not walk right into a trap willingly." The Prince replied.
"I"m not like them. I don"t do things without confidence." Grey said.
Even in the presence of so many enemies, he was still calm and collected. He didn"t speak like someone afraid because he had no reason to be, he already had multiple contingency plans for when he would escape if things don"t go as planned.
The only reason he hadn"t started to fight with them now was that he was stalling for Void to locate all the imprisoned people. Once Void finds them, he would attack immediately.
"I presume you didn"t come alone." The Prince said as he tried to sense if there was anyone else in the area.
"You don"t have to bother, I"m not foolish enough to endanger the lives of multiple people for just six people." Grey said with a chuckle.
Void had given him news of finding three of the six people which made him happy, but since there were still three people left, he wanted to stall for longer.
The Prince gave the signal for others to go and check if people were hiding.
Grey sat quietly as he looked at them with a playful expression, there was even a bit of a mocking smile on his face.
The Prince stood up and tried to attack, but Grey spoke before he could.
"You"re in a hurry, don"t even want to chat before fighting?" Grey"s words made the Prince pause for a moment and he felt something was wrong.
"Just so you know, this place is sealed, so even if you try to use the s.p.a.ce element, you wouldn"t be able to." The Prince didn"t attack and said.
When Grey heard this, his face turned stiff and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
The Prince laughed in ecstasy when he saw this, he knew Grey relied heavily on his s.p.a.ce element and was confident that this was the reason he dared to venture here alone, but now that no one could use the s.p.a.ce element, there was no escape for Grey.
He was still laughing when he saw a slight change in Grey"s face.
"You"re talking about the array you set up here? You think such a weak array can stop me?" Grey chuckled, and before the eyes of everyone present, he vanished.
He had already sensed the array before coming here and had even modified it. He could easily teleport out of the area, but the Prince could not.
This array had even made things easier for him. He knew the Prince would be somewhat reliant on the array and would think he wouldn"t be able to run away, that was why he first showed that expression. However, he was unable to keep up with his facade because Void had reported finding the last person. He immediately took action.
Just as the Prince was still in the middle of panicking, Grey appeared once again.
"Come on, don"t tell me this is all you have." Grey said mockingly.
The Prince looked at him with an angered expression.
"Wait, I"ll be right back."
Grey vanished again for a few seconds and reappeared. He did it repeatedly, as if he was seemingly mocking the Prince. After about three times, the Prince noticed something was wrong. Whenever Grey vanished, he would sense that there was a change in the environment. Although it was quite faint, he was sure of it.
After Grey appeared two more times, he was able to ascertain what was happening.
"To the prisoners!" He roared even before Grey could reappear.
Grey was silently rescuing the prisoners, and it was even in their presence. This was the greatest humiliation the Prince had ever gone through. Not just the Prince, but the leader of the Giant race was fuming with anger. If what they guessed was correct, he didn"t even know how to react.
They rushed to where the first prisoner which was closest to the place was kept and not just the prisoner, even the person guarding him was nowhere to be seen.
