Chapter 1045 Too Cunning

There were still six people left, and the old man was an Earth Elementalist. If they were able to plan carefully, then there was a large chance that they would be able to defeat Grey.

The old man's plan was to guess who Grey would change positions with and attack the person just when Grey was changing positions with them.

Before they gathered, he placed earth particles on each of them and gave them all access to it. The second they sense the slightest sensation of one of the earth particles disappearing, then they should attack that place.

When they all grouped up, they started to attack Grey. Their combined attack was powerful so Grey was careful, but seeing all of them gather, he couldn't help but start to think.

If he were to change positions with one of them, he would be able to kill one more person, or even two people. But from his understanding, he knew that the old man knew of this skill of his, especially after the last when Grey tried to kill him. He was the one who told them not to gather in one area, now, he was saying the opposite.

'Hmm… could they be plotting against me?' He thought to himself.

Taking the risk to appear there might be worth it if he killed some people, but if he was injured in the process, it wouldn't really be worth it.

'Delay, I'll delay them.' He concluded.

Since they wanted to plot against him, then he would wait until one of the Peak Sage Plane Elementalist is free and come to a.s.sist me.

He stayed in his pa.s.sive position, only blocking. He even stopped attacking.

The old man's expression changed slightly, he could tell what Grey was doing, but he couldn't believe it.

'I thought youths are hot-blooded? What the h.e.l.l is wrong with this one?! You're a young man, right? Why the h.e.l.l are you acting like a thousand-year-old man?!'

The old man was on the verge of going mad. If Grey didn't attack impulsively, then his plan would fail, and they will undoubtedly die when another Sage Plane Elementalist comes.

"I thought you were powerful, or could it be that your strength has started decreasing?" The old man said.

This was a very valid point, they all knew that Grey's strength increased with the help of a secret technique, so there might be a chance that he was weakening. If that was the case, then there was a chance that they could kill him now. He couldn't wait for another Sage Plane Elementalist to get in on the battle or they would die.

"Forget everything else and kill him, I'll take the first blow, just make sure my sacrifice isn't in vain, and rescue me in time." The old man changed his plan and charged forward.

Of all of them, he was the strongest, and even though there was another Earth Elementalist, he still had the strongest defense. If he was entangled with Grey at a close range, he would not die from a single attack, that was enough for the others to attack and even injure Grey.

Grey, seeing the old man charging at him didn't panic, with a smile on his face, his position changed with the other Earth Elementalist, leaving only the four Elementalists who didn't have any strong defensive elements. The four only had attacking elements.

The old man's expression changed when he saw this.

"d.a.m.n it! Stand and fight like a man!" The old man was virtually on the verge of crying.

Grey was cunning for such a young man. Even such an old man who was very experienced couldn't trick him, rather, he used their situation to his advantage.

The old man and the other Earth Elementalist looked at each other, ruthlessness flashing through their eyes and they turned, rushing to where they were previously located.

Grey didn't waste any time, the moment he appeared he attacked. The person closest to him was a middle-aged lady who was a Lightning Elementalist.

The lady covered herself with lightning and tried to run away.

Grey didn't give her the chance she wanted. His gravitational force field spread out and the speed of the lady reduced drastically. He moved closer and he made a slashing movement with his hand.

All four of them were standing in a straight line, so when he made the slashing motion, he hoped to kill all of them with a single attack.

The lady sensed the danger and with a powerful scream, she exploded out with lightning shooting out. Even if she was not Grey's match, she wouldn't die without putting up a fight.

The other three did the same as well. One of them was a Darkness Elementalist, he covered all of them with his darkness element, trying to corrode whatever attack Grey sent their way.

A large gash opened up in the darkness-filled area, followed by blood-curdling screams.

….

On the wall.

"He's cunning and ruthless. Lucas, you're no match for him." The old man said after some time in a matter-of-fact tone.

With their strength, they could tell what was happening on the battlefield. When the young man who wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Grey appeared, they originally felt maybe Grey would be injured, but to their surprise, from when the young man appeared till he attacked, Grey was aware of his arrival.

When the old man wanted to group up and place elemental particles on the body of the others to sense Grey, they also noticed it.

The old man was curious as to what Grey would do, but to his surprise, Grey didn't rush out. He was certain that Grey didn't sense the earth particles, so he obviously made his decision based on some a.s.sessments.

Lucas couldn't refute it, instead, he laughed in delight. Having such a son was something to be proud of. Grey was not strong because of the orb, but because of himself.

There were people who were geniuses, but they were not on the same level as the current Grey. His thinking and the way he fought were miles ahead of others his age. Even some old men might not be smarter than he was.
