Chapter 1329  Terrifying Killing Intent

Grey was the first to get close to the pyramid, but he quickly slowed down when he sensed trouble ahead. He had a certain feeling of unease and knew that it was his senses warning him about any possible danger.

'Hmm, there's something ahead, I just don't know what it is.' He said to himself while looking around.

The others had already caught up with him, and just like Grey, they were also getting the feeling of unease.

"Something's ahead." One of the Giants said.

The eyes of every one were serious at the moment, they didn't know what was ahead of them, so they had to be cautious.

'Void, what's ahead?' Grey tried to see if he could get some answers from Void.

'A scorpion, not too hard to deal with, for me, that is. As for you guys, it will be quite difficult.' Void answered.

'A scorpion' Grey calmed down when he found out what it was. The pyramid was right in front of them, and whatever they faced would not be above the Peak of the Seventh Rank since they were still in the secret realm. He was only cautious when he didn't know what it was, but with Void's help, he knew what he was getting into and was already planning on how to deal with it.

It took only a few seconds before the scorpion shot out of the sand, attacking the group who didn't expect it to come out from the sand. Even Grey was taken by surprise, to show just how well the Scorpion's camouflage was.

Grey and the others were able to compose themselves and block the attack of the Scorpion, ensuring no one was taken out by the attack.

Grey was the one at the forefront, so the Scorpion's deadly tail was aimed at him. It was hoping to kill him off with a single attack. It swung its pincers at the others, sending a deadly sand attack at them as well.

Grey was blown away by the new form of elemental attack he just witnessed. This was the first time he saw anyone or anything control sand just like the other elements, and for a brief moment, he was stupefied.

This made the tail of the Scorpion almost hit his left shoulder, but he was able to gain himself back and with the help of his frightening speed, he dodged the attack before unleashing an attack of his own.

His blue flames, like a sharp knife, headed straight for the tail, wanting to cut it off.

When the flaming blade made contact with the tail, Grey was left speechless as the attack didn't even leave a scratch on the tail of the Scorpion.

'Magnificent defensive ability!' He couldn't help but praise deep down.

His fire was his top elemental attack aside from the fusion orb, yet it didn't seem to cause much harm to the Scorpion, this speaks volumes about the fantastic defense of the Scorpion.

'How are we going to deal with it if its defense is so tough?'

This was the question on everyone's minds. They've all dished out an attack, and just like Grey's flames, the attack didn't have any effect.

The Scorpion screeched loudly and charged at them once again. Its speed was heaven-defying, with a short movement, it had dashed into the middle of the group.

It noticed Grey was too fast and powerful for it to take down, so it changed its tactic, its current aim was those who were below the Late stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane, Sylvia's brother to be precise.

Grey was just as fast as it was when it came to movement speed, when he saw that it was targeting Sylvia's brother, he didn't stay idle, within a second, he switched places with him, standing in front of the Scorpion.

The Scorpion was taken by surprise when its original target turned into the trouble guy it wanted to avoid.

When Grey appeared, he bolted at the Scorpion, aiming a punch at its head.

The Scorpion waved its pincers at it, but he maneuvered mid-air, dodging them, he got close and unleashed a blow on the head of the Scorpion.

Boom!

A powerful explosion sounded out as a large dust cloud appeared.

The ground where the Scorpion was standing sank.

Grey jumped into the air and used the fusion orb, unleashing a destructive space elemental attack with it.

"Dimensional slash" He muttered.

Bang! Bam!

The sound of his attack making contact with something hard reverberated across the area.

Everyone around had retreated, and when they saw how Grey was able to deal with such attacks in quick succession, their view of him changed, especially the Giants.

They felt there was a reason Grey was a menace to the Gnomes, after all, how could one man challenge the entire Gnome society here and win?

But now, they understood it was not just that advantage, he was shockingly powerful too. Adding his terrifying battle awareness to it, he was an enemy nobody wanted to have.

Grey appeared beside Sylvia's brother, staring at the explosion ahead of them.

"Thank you." Sylvia's brother thanked him for saving his life.

"As long as you're with me, it's my obligation to ensure your safety. I might be stronger than her now, but she's still scary." Grey replied.

Sylvia's brother understood what Grey was saying. From what he knew, Sylvia tormented Grey, making him fight competition after competition. To some extent, although she was making Grey grow stronger, she wasn't giving him any chance to do anything else. Fighting constantly will make anyone tired. And threatening to beat him up on a few occasions when he refused to go to the competitions.

To some extent, Sylvia could be said to be the one who contributed to Grey's current freakish battle senses. Fighting so many battles in such a short time will make anyone grow at a frightening speed. This was exactly what happened to Grey during the time he spent with Sylvia.

Screech!

They all heard a loud screeching sound come from the place of the explosion, along with the sound was a beam of light that shot at them.

The light possessed destructive power that made everyone's hair stand on edge.

Grey and the others dispersed to different locations, making sure the light beam didn't touch them. They could all sense the power contained within the light beam.

Elaris looked at the explosion and couldn't help but shudder. If she was hit with such an attack, she wasn't certain she would be able to defend against it. She turned to Bang!

The light beam hit the ground, causing a powerful explosion to set off.

Grey made sure to take Sylvia's brother with him since he didn't want to endanger his life.

Elaris looked at the explosion and couldn't help but shudder. If she was hit with such an attack, she wasn't certain she would be able to defend against it. She turned to look at Grey, and the question popped in her head

Will he be able to defend against it?

She didn't know what the answer would be, but she knew her defensive abilities were not on the same level as that of Grey.

The Giants didn't dare engage the scorpion in a fight.

"How do we deal with it?" One of the Giants asked.

"Its defense is too strong, we can't break it." Another one replied.

Grey appeared close to them and asked, "Do you have the same strength while in this size as when you're in your large form?"

The leader of the Giants nodded.

Grey continued, "Elemental attacks can't work on it for now. We should use brute strength."

He turned to the others, "Anyone with the earth element can join in on the battle. The ice element can be used as well."

He knew his blow to the Scorpion hurt it, and if the Giants joined in, they would be able to deal more damage to it. The Giants are known for their immense physical strength. Adding the earth element as well as the ice ability of the Water Elementalists present, they should be able to defeat the Scorpion in no time.

The Giants followed Grey's plan and they all stood in different directions. The dust cloud from Grey's previous attack died down and the figure of the Scorpion appeared, it looked to be alright, but everyone present had very sharp eyes, they were able to discern that Grey's blow was able to leave a small crack on the head of the Scorpion.

They all couldn't help but take another glance at Grey. One has to know that they've tried all forms of elemental attacks and nothing worked, yet Grey was able to cause a crack on its hard exoskeleton of the Scorpion.

Grey on the other hand didn't think about it too much, he felt it was only natural. After all, he made use of his fire element in the attack as well. And his dimensional slash was aimed at that same spot. He was even surprised at the fact that the Scorpion was able to only sustain that little damage. Any other Magical Beast would've been seriously wounded, yet the attack was able to only leave a small crack on its head.
