Chapter 1334 Hidden Enemy

Void was slowly edging closer to the center of the pyramid, the same could be said for Grey and his group who were following behind him.

The Giants were also advancing closer to the center of the pyramid.

After two more days, Grey and his group got to a door Grey believed led to the center of the pyramid, the reason for this thought, well let's say a black little cat found it difficult to get past the door.

Void had been stuck there for a while now and led Grey right to him. When Grey and his entourage were almost there, he hid in the void. With his impeccable hiding skills, other than Grey, no one else would be able to sense his presence.

"This should lead to the center of the pyramid, or at least to a new area." Grey said.

He had grown tired of seeing the same long empty paths.

Elaris looked at the door, "How do we open it?" She asked curiously.

Grey looked at it, he had been studying the ruin marks he was seeing on the path and had gotten a little understanding of them. Unfortunately, it was not enough for the door that was in front of them.

"I have no idea. Maybe we should attempt the same method as we used in entering this place. Who knows, it might work." He suggested.

"I was thinking the same thing." Brax agreed with Grey's words.

Compared to the first time, he was more relaxed, after gaining a few treasures thanks to following behind Grey, he was more than elated. This had been the most fruitful journey he had ever had.

He cut open his arm and the second the blood got close to the door, it lit up and ruin marks appeared. The door shook softly before going quiet.

The light only came up for barely a second before going off.

"Looks like it will work." Sylvia's brother spoke up.

The others nodded and followed Brax. Other than Grey, the rest of them were giving their blood in hopes the door would open soon enough and they get the chance to acquire different treasures.

In no time, the door had drunk enough blood and it started to rumble loudly.

After shaking for almost a minute, while still violently sucking the blood from the bodies of the four who were feeding it, it started to slowly open up.

Just as the door was opening, Grey felt a sharp sense of danger and without hesitation, he set up all his defenses, even making use of his dragon scales, not caring if the others would see him in that form.

Bang!

A powerful attack struck his back, leaving a large wound in it.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw Grey's bloodied figure shooting past them and crashing into the door which just opened.

The rest of them didn't need any warning before rushing through the door and cutting off the supply of blood.

The place they appeared in wasn't like the other places they've been visiting, this place was like a different world. They were on a small hill, but that hill presently had a newly formed crater, and a bloodied figure could be seen inside of it.

Grey wasn't moving, but they could tell that he was alive.

Void's figure appeared beside Grey and before anyone could get close, he shut off the space while tossing all the healing tonics he had with him at Grey.

Grey's injury was severe, even with the help of setting up all the defenses he could make use of, he was still left in such a sorry state. This goes to show just how powerful the assailant was.

Sylvia's brother and the others only saw a glimpse of Void's figure before the place was sealed and started giving off a fierce white glow.

With Void present, Grey also made use of his light element to help hasten the healing process. He didn't know what was hidden here, if he were attacked now, he would be in danger.

It took over ten minutes, but no one left the place.

Grey finally stood up and couldn't help but cuss at whoever attacked him.

The attack power was well over what someone at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane could make use of. If he even used the best form of his fusion orb, he wouldn't be able to unleash such a powerful attack.

Void removed the seal from the area while standing on Grey's shoulder.

Grey took a glance at everyone present, his face slightly pale.

"Did anyone see who did it?" He asked.

They all shook their heads. At the time Grey was attacked, he was the one furthest from the door when they were giving it blood, and since all their attention was on the door, they didn't get the chance to know who attacked Grey.

Even when they could've looked behind, they were worried at the fact that Grey, the person with the best defense, could barely block the attack.

….

While they were inside trying to figure out who attacked.

A voice could be heard in the passageway.

"How did he survive that attack?!"

"Even a First stage Sovereign will find it hard to survive, especially given the proximity."

"You have to hand it to the kid, his senses are very sharp."

"There's nothing good about him. I want him dead. He took what's mine, I need them."

There was not just one voice, but multiple voices. However, there was malice in one of them. The owner was the one who attacked Grey.

…..

If Grey were to see who attacked him, even with his current state, he would want to fight the person to the death. He hated being sneaked up on, especially by such a powerful figure.

"I'll kill you, just you wait." Grey said through gritted teeth while looking at the door that led into this place. He wasn't even in the mood to check out the place.
