Chapter 1471 Traitor II
The Golden Horned Snake didn"t know that it had already fallen deep into a trap, it was still thinking of ways it would take advantage of the other Snake. Since it was stronger, it believed the other Snake didn"t have any share in the treasure.
If only it knew there were no treasures.
Grey was waiting for them at the place they were headed. His plan was a quick sneak attack.
He was an expert in hiding his aura, and as long as the Snake doesn"t sense him quickly, he should be able to deal a fatal blow before it would react.
This was a powerful Snake and he didn"t want to have a prolonged battle with it since there"s a chance others might be drawn to the place. His plan was to deal with it quickly.
After a while, the two Snakes came into his view.
He prepared a deadly attack at the tip of one of his fingers, and after a deep breath, his figure shook and turned to that of a Snake.
He switched places with the Snake which was behind the Golden Horned Snake.
The Golden Horned Snake didn"t notice the change until it was too late. Grey"s finger was already pointed at the head of the Snake like a gun, it released fire. Just one shot, that was all it took and a multicolored ray of light pa.s.sed through the head of the large Golden Horned Snake.
One has to know that the Snake was at least ten meters long, yet it was killed with a single attack from Grey who wasn"t even as big as the Snake"s head.
The gigantic body of the Snake fell to the ground, motionless. It was dead from the attack. Grey"s attack ended its life within a matter of seconds.
Attacks to the head have always been more effective when it comes to quick deaths than one to the heart.
Grey looked at the enormously large body of the Snake and couldn"t help but think of what price it would fetch if he went to sell it. This was a treasure, but he didn"t want it, he wanted the others to know that there was someone who was killing some targets, and all of them had a hand in the death of Melmera.
After Grey was finished, he took them back to the Snake tribe and left them alone in a hidden place. He wrote the word traitor with the blood of the Golden Horned Snake on its body, making sure it would also be seen on it.
He knew the Magical Beasts would know a human is the one carrying these acts, but they would be curious as to the reason a human was killing some of them and writing the word traitor. If some of them decide to investigate, there"s a huge possibility they would uncover the truth.
Grey"s next target was surprisingly the Cat tribe. There was a cat in particular that had a hand in Melmera"s death. It was a Wind Elemental Magical Beast, one of the fastest Beasts in the forest. It was the one that made escaping difficult for Melmera. Even with her powerful attacks, this Cat was so fast that it was difficult to hit it. And it attacked, making sure there was no escape for Melmera.
The cat was also in the Seventh Rank, in the Late stages of the Seventh Rank. As long as Grey catches it unaware, there was no way it could escape. The only issue is that the Cat stayed in the inner region of the tribe. Locating it would be very difficult. As long as he could use the same tactic as he used for the Snake, he would be able to kill it without much ha.s.sle.
After a while, he caught a Cat from the outer region and tried to investigate the whereabouts of the tricky cat.
It took a few hours, but he got news after a while. The Cat was actually outside the tribe, and the location was a very favorable one for Grey. The only thing was that it wasn"t alone as there were two Peak Rank Seven Cats with it.
Grey wasn"t confident he could kill the Cat without being detected, but he was sure before the others could react, he was done with his act.
"I don"t want them to know I"m the one."
Grey is a very famous figure, he didn"t know if his fame had spread to the Magical Beast"s kingdom, but he didn"t want to take any chances. He gave it some deep thought before deciding to see the situation, if the opportunity presents itself, he would kill the cat, if not, then he would move on.
When he got to the location, he almost burst into laughter. It was as if the universe wanted him to exert revenge for Melmera.
"Hehe, even the world hates these guys. I wonder if Melmera was special." He thought to himself as he prepared to attack.
The Cat he was after was actually all alone. The two Peak Rank Seven Cats were nowhere to be seen. This was Grey"s chance, and he was not going to let it go.
When the Cat was less vigilant, he struck. The Cat didn"t even know what hit it before it died. Its eyes were still open, staring into s.p.a.ce.
Grey was exacting revenge on Melmera"s behalf. She was dead, but her offspring is still alive. He also wanted something to do while he was here.
This was the best Beast he could kill, the reason for that was because he was searching for a Wind Elemental Magical Beast all this while, and who would"ve thought such an opportunity would come to him. Encountering Melmera gave him this opportunity. Without hesitation, he took the blood essence of the Cat, this was what he had been searching for, why would he let go of such a chance?
After taking the blood essence, he left without hesitation, not forgetting to write the word traitor.
