Chapter 1296 Cowering Before Humans

"What's next?" Alice asked.

They've attacked the two Princes, giving them a warning. After the battle, she didn't feel there was a need to attack them further, except Grey had plans of killing the Princes.

The Princes were already scared of them, they would stay put and refuse to leave their zone for the meantime since they didn't want a situation where they would be attacked by Grey.

"I don't think they will do anything anytime soon, we can just hang around just to be sure." Grey knew the Princes wouldn't be careless henceforth, and that was what he wanted. With the Princes too afraid to leave, it would make the lives of the others better.

The Princes will bring all their powerhouses together, giving humans the chance they need to seek treasures and increase their strengths.

Grey took a look at his friends, a smile on his face. To be sincere, he enjoyed the battle, it was both thrilling and dangerous. Any mistake and things might've gone bad for them, luckily, everything was fine in the end.

Alice and Reynolds were both powerful, Klaus as well, and they didn't try to fight people too strong. Grey also fought tactically, using his elements to his advantage. His battle awareness was supreme, and it showed itself when the battle started.

The manner at which he killed the first group scared the others, which gave him more free reign to continue his wanton killing spree.

The Second Prince was the only one in at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane which gave him the edge. With the number of people present, the Second Prince couldn't attack carelessly, Grey and his group on the other hand didn't need to bother about anything as they attacked freely.

"We won't be able to get anything good if we stay here." Reynolds said.

Unlike Klaus, he wasn't blessed with infinite luck, Grey was also someone who had Void with him, getting treasures was too easy for him. Him on the other hand needed to go through a lot of difficulty to get just one good treasure, so he was always hoping to take advantage of any opportunity that presented itself. This was a great chance for him to power up, but they were stuck here, making sure others are able to get whatever treasures they needed.

"Don't worry, we still have time. We've only been here a day or so." Grey did a rough calculation in his head. He didn't keep up with time, and this place was a little different from their world.

Reynolds took a glance at him before nodding, Grey was right, they still had time. He was only in a hurry to increase his strength. He had also heard the rumors of the upcoming war, he didn't want to end up being a cannon fodder, so he had to level up as fast as he could.

Grey was advancing pretty quickly, the same could be said for Klaus, but himself and Alice were lacking. This was not something they wanted. The the last time, it was thanks to Grey that they were able to step into the Elemental Venerable Plane. He didn't want to fully depend on Grey, although he didn't have any problems with that, he didn't feel it was appropriate, at least, he wanted to get some things by himself.

Alice was also in the same spot as Reynolds, so she was ready to start treasure hunting now.

Grey took a glance at them and said to Void, 'Contact the bunny leader, we need its help.'

The bunny leader had a lot of subordinates under it, if they could get it to set them as spies, they would be able to move freely, getting the chance to not only find treasures, but also be informed about the happenings in the Gnomes' zone.

…..

While Grey and his friends were discussing on what steps to take next. In the Gnome castle, the Second Prince and Seventh Prince could be seen standing side by side, before them was a group of eight individuals, all of them were at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

If this group was present when Grey and his friends came here, things would've been very different. Grey knew for a fact that with such people present, even with his amazing abilities, he would've found it difficult to do everything he did when he came.

"Where are they?" The Second Prince asked, his eyes slightly red from anger.

He was enraged, Grey came with his friends, killed people and left without any consequences. This was not something he could take, he wanted Grey dead, and he didn't care what it would cost him.

"They vanished without a trace. I tried marking them, but he erased them as soon as the mark was placed." One of the few in the Late stages spoke up.

When Grey was about to leave, the man acted quickly, marking them before they left, but to his shock, the mark disappeared almost immediately they were placed. This was a strange experience for him.

The Second Prince clenched his fist, gritting his teeth hard.

"We can't let them wander freely after what they did." He said through clenched teeth.

"I know, but we can't leave your side. If he's as strong as you say he is, then you will be in greater danger once we leave." One of the men at the Peak spoke up.

"I survived just fine before you came." The Second Prince took a glance at the man who spoke up.

The man didn't shy away from his gaze as he replied, "But for how long? The castle was almost destroyed, the array was messed with. I think the reason you two are alive is purely because he wanted to leave you guys alive."

The Second Prince wanted to speak, but he thought about it and didn't say anything. The Seventh Prince stepped forward, "So what do you suggest we do?"

"We can't leave them out there, since when do we have to cower before humans?"
