Chapter 305: He’s My Friend

Grey stood in the same position, holding his sword casually. The attack he used against the two young ladies was very simple, explosive speed.

‘My physical strength should be around the Fifth or Sixth stage now.’ He thought to himself while looking at the dumbfounded group of three.

The group looked at him with dread, with a hint of fear appearing in their eyes. Grey’s capabilities scared them. Having such speed meant that it was almost impossible for their attacks to hit him since he could easily dodge it.

“Wait, he’s also a Lightning Elementalist!” The second young man in the group exclaimed.

When Grey used inscriptions the first time, he attacked with the fire element, but his blade was coated with the lightning element. This explained his explosive speed, but to a certain extent. After all, he wasn’t the only Lightning Elementalist in the world, but the group hadn’t seen anyone that’s as fast as him.

Grey’s speed is almost double the speed of a Lightning Elementalist in the same Plane as himself, if not even over.

The leader of the group as well as Johanne only realized this fact after the young man pointed it out to them. This increased the feeling of dread in their hearts once again.

“Mister, we don’t know why the Crowned Prince wants this man, but we were sent by him to bring this young man with us,” The leader immediately changed his approach back to the first way.

Grey’s show of strength petrified him, he wanted to get as far away from him as possible. He wasn’t part of the group that would willingly chase after death just because he didn’t want to disappoint the Crowned Prince. He had a family waiting for him at home and would be getting married soon. It would be a shame to die for someone else’s cause.

“Oh, that’s a shame. I really want to know why,” Grey replied with a shake of his head.

He almost lost interest in them, he thought this was a group of die-hard loyal people that the Crowned Prince, or whoever assigned them picked, who would’ve thought they were just like normal people and would bend at the sight of seeing someone far more powerful?

“Mister, we were only given orders, we know nothing else. I know you have no relations with this young man here, so there’s no need in getting involved with the Crowned Prince’s matter.” The leader said once again.

He was scared of Grey, but thinking that there isn’t any relationship between Grey and Reynolds, he thought he might as well try to speak to him so he could let them take Reynolds. There wasn’t really any reason for someone to offend the Crowned Prince over a stranger.

Grey chuckled when he heard what the leader said before replying, “But the Crowned Prince wouldn’t know if you don’t tell him, right?’

“I swear on my life, none of us will speak of you killing some of our party. I’ll tell the…”

“I don’t think you get what I’m trying to say here,” Grey cut short the leader who was already swearing with his life on the line.

“Huh!”

“I mean, if none of you leave here, who would tell the Crowned Prince of our encounter?” Grey said while giving off a calm aura like he wasn’t speaking about the lives of a group of people.

“No one,”

“Exactly,” Grey said pointing at Johanne who was the only one confident enough to answer his question.

The leader of the group, as well as Johanne’s pupils, dilated, while fear could be visibly seen on the face of the other young man.

Grey is probably the only Origin Plane Elementalist in the world who could make a group of three who he was only ahead of two with a single stage, and on the same stage as one feel like they were fighting against someone who is a whole Plane ahead of them. The strength gap between them was horrifying.

“Mister, isn’t this a little too excessive? We didn’t offend you in any way, killing us just because of a stranger, why?” The leader asked, not willing to accept the fact that they might die here.

“Simple, he’s my friend,” Grey laughed before taking off the hood that was covering over half of his face, leaving the group stunned.

Since Grey appeared, he had been shocking them, but this revelation seems to top it all. Seeing a seemingly flawless young face appear behind the hood shocked the group no less than when they saw him kill two of their comrades. They couldn’t associate the beautiful-looking young man in front of them with the ruthless killer they envisioned.

Grey was a complete contrast of what they imagined the man would be, and looking at him, it was easy to see he was slightly younger than Reynolds.

“Friend? That means you’re the one the Emperor wants!” The leader exclaimed in sheer disbelief.

Most of the people in the empire’s forces knew of the Emperor’s hunt for a certain young man. Although they didn’t know the details, they knew he was an Inscriber and had a powerful Teacher behind him.

When this group was given the order to bring Reynolds, they found out he was friends with that mysterious young man.

‘And here I was, feeling honored that the Crowned Prince was searching for me,” Reynolds said jokingly while walking closer to Grey.

“Heh! You’re still an amateur. I’m wanted by the entire empire, do you think you can beat that?” Grey replied with scorn.

His facial expression threw Reynolds in a fit of laughter, “I’ve missed you bud, but on a more serious note, what did you do to the Emperor?”

“I have no idea, I tried asking some of the new Instructors at the Academy, but none of them knew why they were sent to capture me,” Grey replied with a thoughtful expression.

The duo completely disregarded the group who were standing a few meters away from them, but the group was too shocked to even try escaping.

‘What sort of man is his Teacher to train such a monster?’

This was the question revolving around their heads. They also thought of the trial land since they’ve heard about it from their superiors, but they didn’t want to believe it was the reason for his monstrous strength. He wasn’t the only one who entered the place, so there’s no way he would be the only one showing such insane levels of strength.

While the group was still looking at Grey and Reynolds speaking, they got the scare of their lives. a pitch-black cat suddenly appeared out of thin air and laid on Grey’s shoulder.

“How?” The leader asked.

He suddenly sensed a feeling of mystery clouding this young man before him. He was in the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane, even though he wasn’t as strong as Grey, his strength was evident. He was focused on Grey and Reynolds, so if something came in at high speed, he would definitely sense it. But he didn’t even sense any energy until Void appeared.

While he was still thinking of how it was possible for something to appear out of thin air, he saw Grey turning his attention back to them.

“Now, time to care of these guys,” Grey said while releasing a massive killing intent. He didn’t plan on allowing any of them to leave this place.
