Chapter 1237 Human Ghost
Grey and the man continued fighting, exchanging attacks. The man had a higher attack power, but Grey was more versatile and he was able to force the man to retreat a few times. He tried to close the s.p.a.ce in the area with the little he learned from the s.p.a.ce Elementalist he fought a few months ago, but he wasn"t strong enough and the man was able to easily destroy his attempts to block it.
However, his spatial distortions attacks were stronger now. Even though the man also had the s.p.a.ce element, he had to be careful of this attack. It possessed terrifying power and he knew not to mess with it.
Just when Grey was about to gain a slight advantage over him, Grey sensed an incoming attack and without hesitation, he retreated.
"Who"s that?" He looked around, but there was no one in sight.
The attack was dangerous, and he got a familiar feeling from it.
"Hmm…" He squinted his eyes and turned to the man, "I"ve seen this form of attack before."
"So you were the one who brought the phantom. Guess I was wrong with my calculations." He placed his hand on his chin.
The attack was exactly the same as the time Cori and the children of the golden robed man were about to be attacked. He never expected that the phantom was attached to that man by another person. Given the situation then, he didn"t think of this possibility.
He had never seen the phantom prior to the time he tried to use his mental form, and at that time, the phantom was already attached to the man.
"He attached it to him from the start. So while it was attacking, it had always been attached to him." Grey was impressed by the man"s cunningness.
With his plan, he took all the suspicion from anyone else and dropped it on the man. This way, no one would think of anyone else as the culprit, except for the man.
"I"m impressed. To think you were the evil one."
The man chuckled and praised, "You caught on pretty quickly. I didn"t think you would be able to sense it even while fighting."
"I"m always cautious." Grey shrugged.
"There"s no need pretending any longer. Hand over the ring, and I"ll let you leave." The man said in a commanding tone.
Grey fished out another storage ring from his clothes, and asked with a sly smile, "Are you sure you want it?"
The man was about to nod his head when he suddenly paused, he seemed to recall what happened the last time and froze, he was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to reply. He wanted the ring, but he was afraid Grey would use the same method to attack him once again.
"Take out the treasure and drop it on the ground." He said after a short struggle.
Grey chuckled and a goblet appeared on his hand, he dropped it, "Here."
The man looked at the goblet Grey dropped on the ground, not believing that was what Grey acquired.
"That"s not the treasure." He said coldly.
"How are you sure it"s not it? Did you follow me? Were you there?" Grey sneered.
The man looked at Grey, he didn"t know what to do, "Give me the ring."I think you should take a look at
Grey grinned and threw the ring in the direction of the man.
The man wanted to grab it but paused. He stopped to think and after a while, he gritted his teeth and sent the phantom towards it.
Grey couldn"t see it, but when he saw the ring floating in the air, he guessed it was the one checking it.
With a snap of his hand, an explosion happened and the phantom was unable to survive. It was instantly obliterated.
"Hehehe." Grey"s evil laughter resounded in the area.
The eyes of the man turned red from anger. He spent a lot of resources on creating these phantoms, yet Grey killed two of them. He started to regret using the phantom to attack the first time. The reason he did that was so that the others would put their full strength into what lay ahead of them. Unfortunately, that was a grave mistake by him. Grey has casually destroyed tons of resources on his own.
"Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll kill you, and anything related to you."
"Haha, you can"t kill my cat. I"m not even joking." Grey pointed at Void who was resting by the side.
The man looked at Void, and he suddenly remembered that the first time they saw Grey, the cat wasn"t with him, it was after they entered the castle did the cat appear, and it was with Cori all through.
"What"s so special about it? It"s just a stupid cat. Hand over the treasure, I won"t ask again." He was losing his patience.
"You"ve been asking for it for so long, don"t you know my answer yet?" Grey asked nonchalantly.
The man clenched his fists and took a step forward, his aura changed. It didn"t increase, rather, it started to fade away, "You brought this on yourself, kid."
Grey concentrated fully on the man, but he almost stopped to sense him, before long, the man vanished, and just like his phantoms, he was nowhere to be seen.
Grey"s eyes turned blue as he tried to search for the man. He saw a shadow approaching him, and a grave sense of danger accompanying it.
Without hesitation, he retreated, attacking the shadow.
The shadow vanished.
He looked around anxiously, and he unleashed his gravitational force field. This was what he used in tracking if the phantom had gotten close to him the last time.
After the man entered that state, he was difficult to track compared to the phantom he noticed the second his eyes turned blue. Now, even in this state, the man could still hide from his senses, only when the man was attacking could he sense him.
Boom!
Grey took some steps back and transmitted his voice to Void.
"Go to Cori, make sure nothing gets close to her."
