The group went further into the Blue Wind Empire, and before long, they left the woods, entering the normal road with a town not too far from it.
It was naturally occupied by mostly warriors since it was close to the borders.
The Principal went close to the town and spread out his spiritual senses, after thoroughly sweeping the place, he found the location of three different Overlord Plane Elementalists. One was in the Late stage, with the other two in the Mid stages.
“I’ll take down the one in the Late stage, Grey, you and Klaus will take on one of those in the Mid stages, while Reynolds and Alice will take care of the other one,” The Principal quickly divided them.
Klaus and Reynolds were about to refute when they heard the Principal’s stern warning.
“This is not a joke, it’s a matter of life and death. If any of you is caught, the consequences will be fatal to the rest of us,” He said.
“Don’t worry, father, I can take care of this person on my own, with Grey’s help, it’s a piece of cake,” Klaus said.
Alice reassured the Principal that she could keep Reynolds in check. After the Principal finished speaking with them, he left, heading towards the western part of the town.
All three Overlord Plane Elementalists were positioned in three different parts of the town, and they were all at the edges. The Principal told the group that if they could, they should take down the warriors without making any fuss.
With the element of surprise on their side, they shouldn’t have any problems with taking out someone who doesn’t even know they are coming.
….
In the southern part of the town.
Grey and Klaus were sneaking through the road, hiding in plain sight. They hid their appearance and aura, so they weren’t recognized by the few townspeople they encountered.
A few minutes later, they soon got to a small house that had the biggest courtyard they had seen in the town so far.
“The expert should be here,” Klaus whispered.
“Yeah,” Grey nodded while staring at the building, trying to pick out the exact location of the Overlord Plane Elementalist.
There were almost six guards or so outside the building, ready to alarm the expert in case someone they couldn’t handle appeared.
“Tell me once you get his location, I can immobilize him from here,” Klaus said.
He wasn’t interested in the four guards standing outside the building.
Grey nodded, and a few seconds later, he gave Klaus the exact location and where to hit if he was going to attack.
Klaus nodded before taking in a deep breath, “It’s been a while I used this,”
He placed his hand in front of him and a tiny needle made of ice started to form. The temperature around the ice needle was so low that the air seemed like it wanted to freeze. Even Grey who was standing close to Klaus couldn’t help but take a step back.
‘His ice ability is beyond compare,’ Grey praised. He didn’t dare to speak it out loud given Klaus’ personality, he would brag about it for months.
The ice needle stayed above Klaus’ palm for almost thirty seconds before it suddenly disappeared from view. Unlike Grey and Void’s space element, the ice needle disappeared as a result of its amazing speed, and it’s small size.
Whoosh!
The ice needle pierced through a small spot on the wall. It was so tiny that even if someone was standing there, they wouldn’t notice it.
“Let’s go, the person’s immobilized,” Klaus urged.
Grey nodded before flickering, a few seconds later, a middle-aged lady was on his shoulder. Her body was completely white, and one could see chilled smoke coming from her body.
With the lady on his shoulder, Grey and Klaus returned to the location they planned to meet up with the Principal. They were the first set to get there.
A few minutes later, the Principal appeared with a lady tied on his arms, she was knocked out, but in a better situation compared to Grey and Klaus’ victim.
When the Principal saw the duo already waiting for him, he was slightly taken aback.
“How long have you been here?” He asked.
“A few minutes ago,” Grey replied.
The Principal didn’t say anything further. Touching the lady on the ground, he realized she was out cold, like literally cold. He didn’t need anyone to tell him it was Klaus’ doing.
They stayed for almost five minutes before Alice and Reynolds came back with a short man on their shoulder. The man was slightly black, which indicated that he had been zapped by lightning.
“Alright, time to wake them up,” The Principal said.
After he sealed the cultivation of the trio, he woke them up.
When the trio opened their eyes, their initial reaction was to try to move, but unfortunately, they realized they had been bound to a chair. They stared at the group and Grey and his friend’s face soon came into view.
They looked at the faces with a sense of familiarity, seemingly trying to recall where they had seen the faces before. It didn’t take long before one of them recalled it.
“To think you four would be so bold,” The short man said coldly.
“Saying this is quite funny when coming from you, have you seen your situation?” Klaus mocked.
The Principal stepped forward to take control, “Where are the duo you people caught last night?”
“What duo? We’ve captured a lot of people these past days,” The man asked, feigning ignorance.
“You can’t activate the array if that’s what you’re trying to do,” The Principal’s aura went cold.
When they went over to catch them, he found out about the array placed around the town. Now he understood why all three individuals were in their given locations, it was so they could activate a powerful killing array.. If a Peak stage Overlord Plane Elementalist were to be caught in it, then that person would surely meet their end.
