Chapter 1249 A Counter To The Gnomes
The Dawson Family Head was stunned when he heard Grey"s words. He never thought the reason the Gnomes hated Grey so much was this bad. To be honest, if he were in their position, he too would be infuriated by such an act of disregard. Grey single-handedly rattled the entire race, and their wanting to seek revenge was rightfully so.
The Elders and the Family Head stayed a little longer before leaving. Grey and his entourage stayed in his grandfather"s courtyard a little longer.
"That"s not the only reason they want you dead, right?" His grandfather asked.
"Nope. Actually, how should I put it… I studied a bit of necromancy and one thing leading to another, I can sever their connections with their puppets." Grey explained to his grandfather.
"I can be said to be their natural counter." He added.
The eyes of the Old man almost popped out when he heard this. This was a shocking discovery.
"Why haven"t you impacted the knowledge to others?" He asked.
If more people mastered this technique, it would significantly boost their courage when fighting against these Gnomes. The most hateful thing about fighting the Gnomes was that whenever they lost a powerhouse, the Gnomes might be able to steal the body and use that powerhouse to fight against them.
They would lose a majority of their forces while the Gnomes would only lose a few people and a lot of puppets. The losses on the side of humans were just too ma.s.sive. The thought of fighting against Gnomes has always been frightening to them.
But with this technique Grey created, they would be able to plummet the strength of the entire Gnome race with nothing but a thought.
"That"s the thing, I can"t. There"s something different about me, hence I"m able to do it. It looks simple, but without what I have, others wouldn"t be able to do it."
When Lucas heard this, his thought jumped straight to the orb in his body. He never expected the orb would be able to bring out something like this. Grey is not the only one who has studied necromancy, a lot of top powerhouses have done the same in the past, but none of them has been able to produce the same results as Grey. This confirmed what he is saying.
"Doesn"t this mean that with you, we can defeat the Gnomes?" Martha asked.
"Not entirely. I"m too weak, and can"t be everywhere at a time. So I can only suppress some places. With my current strength, only those in the Elemental Venerable Plane and below can be dealt with."
Grey"s grandfather felt a headache when he heard this. They"ve been stuck with the issue of the potential war that was coming. Everyone was aware of this and had even stopped their battles in the meantime. Of course, not everyone stopped. There were still a few people that were trying to incite conflict between some top Factions.
"We"ll discuss that later. What else are you hiding from the Chaos Battlefield?" Lucas put that matter aside.
He wanted to know what Grey would want to hide from others.
Grey grinned and opened his palm, and a golden energy appeared.
Lucas, Martha, and his grandfather stood on the spot, thunderstruck. It was like a rain of lightning poured on them as they were unable to utter a single word. ???ℯ????.???
"Tha… tha… how"s this possible?!" Arthel was the first to exclaim in shock.
He knew what this was. It was chaos energy, in its purest form. Whenever there was a chaos energy burst in the Chaos Battlefield, a lot of people try to absorb as much as they can. All the top-tier mythical plants would absorb a large amount of it and become even better.
The energy Grey just released was on a frightening level. The thing about this was that it could be used in so many ways. Just the thought of it almost made Arthel faint from the shock.
Cori looked at it, "It looks beautiful."
"Kid, what"s wrong with your body? How can you do that?" His grandfather couldn"t help but ask.
This was not supposed to be possible. They all knew what the chaos energy was and how powerful it can be. If Grey were to show this outside, a lot of people would want to kill him. With this, Grey has gotten the advantage over anyone fighting against him. No one would want such a figure to grow to the level where he would be unstoppable.
"Don"t show this anywhere else. Unless you have no other choice, you must not use this now." His grandfather didn"t bother about Grey not answering his questions and warned sternly.
"I know, grandfather." Grey nodded.
"Actually, there might be a way you can integrate it into your main essence and completely hide it from others while still being able to use it." Lucas said with a thoughtful expression.
Grey"s grandfather turned to his son with a questioning look.
"I saw an old text that might be of help here. It teaches only how to integrate other powers into your essence. It"s quite powerful too."
"There"s such a thing?" Martha asked, a little surprised. I think you should take a look at
Lucas nodded and explained to them, "I chanced upon it when exploring an old site. It didn"t seem too important, but I decided to keep it. Who knew it would be of use to my son years later?"
If Grey could learn that, it would greatly increase his overall strength. He"s already so powerful against those in the same stage. Thinking about what he could do is frightening.
"I"ll start learning it now. The sooner the better."
Lucas and his grandfather agreed with his words. The sooner he learned it, the better it was for his well-being.
Grey"s grandfather never thought that Grey would bring back so many surprises from the trip to the Chaos Battlefield. His initial plan was to let Grey grow stronger there, but Grey not only grew stronger, but he brought back so many surprises that it was fearsome.
Grey left his grandfather"s courtyard and headed straight for his father"s building, he still had to think of what to do with Arthel. Cori is still a little girl and she could be left under the care of the Dawson Family, but Arthel wasn"t in the same position.
Arthel was a grown man who needed a good chance to grow. The Dawson Family might be good, but it wasn"t the right place for him to stay.
….
"Why don"t you travel alone for some time?" Grey asked Arthel when they were alone.
"I do not know this place, and people will be able to easily figure out I"m not from here. Wouldn"t it cause any problems?" Arthel didn"t feel too comfortable with traveling on his own for now.
Grey thought about it and nodded. He didn"t think about that part and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as he could.
"What do you have in mind then?" He felt a slight headache.
Arthel was about to speak when Lucas appeared.
"Don"t worry, I have the perfect solution for this." He smiled at the duo.
"Then we"ll do as you say, Father." Grey couldn"t be bothered with how it was sorted.
Lucas smiled when he saw this. He motioned for Grey to follow him.
Grey stood up and left Arthel in the room, heading out of the place behind his father. They walked to the courtyard and sat down together.
"Were you able to get the treasure that would help heal the consciousness of that person you spoke about?" Lucas inquired while staring at the small pool in the courtyard.
"Yes, a good treasure, actually." Grey brought out the treasure he got from the Chaos Battlefield. He obtained this from the arena, and according to the bunny leader, it was top-tier and would certainly heal Arya"s brother.
When Lucas saw the treasure Grey brought out, he was slightly taken aback while staring at it.
Seeing the look on his father"s face, he explained how he got it.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Lucas" face, "So that little bunny is so knowledgeable about herbs?"
"Yes."
"I have a few things I have no knowledge of. I haven"t been able to see any books that made mention of them, nor did I find anyone with sufficient knowledge about them. With this little guy, I will know if they are useful or not."
Grey and his father spoke for some time and he found out that he was able to also get something that might help heal Arya"s brother. However, it wasn"t something he could say was certain.
The duo would be using the fruit Grey got from the arena.
Grey planned to leave as soon as possible. This matter had been bothering him for some time now, so he wanted to sort it out now that he could.
"I"ll have to borrow your little companion first. When he"s done helping, you can leave." Lucas stopped Grey in his tracks.
"Spend some time with your mother, she has missed you."
