Chapter 1330  It Looks Delicious

Grey wasn't bothered with the expression of the others, his attention was focused on the Scorpion which used its pincers to block the dimensional slash.

A pained screech was heard before the sound of something large hitting the ground, along with a little dust cloud.

Grey tossed a fireball in that direction, but it wasn't a normal fireball, he only used it to force away the dusk cloud.

A battered Scorpion appeared before them, on the side was one of its large pincers, detached from the other part of its body.

Grey's eyes lit up when he saw this. Due to the Scorpion using some of its strength to block the attacks of the Giants as well as the others, it wasn't able to focus its full attention on Grey's attack which gave Grey the chance to cut off one of the pincers.

The Scorpion screeched in pain and they could all sense that it was about to go berserk after losing one of its pincers. Such an injury was very dangerous to it and it was being clouded by rage at the moment. Its eyes locked onto Grey and even the others could feel the tenseness in the atmosphere.

Grey had a warm smile on his face, it was as if he hadn't even done anything to the Scorpion. Well, in all honesty, if they didn't fight back, the Scorpion would've killed them, so they weren't in the wrong. The only thing was that Grey's smile looked a little evil, given the fact that he just cut off one of the pincers of the Scorpion.

"It's wounded, it'll be even more dangerous now. You guys should be careful, and make sure its full focus is on me before attacking. I can't save everyone." Grey warned.

"We're not weak." Elaris was the one who spoke up.

Grey's statement made it seem like they were weaklings who needed his protection.

Grey shrugged and didn't bother with her, the only person he was obligated to protect was Sylvia's brother, he only warned because he didn't want any issues to come up because of anyone's ignorance.

Just like before, Grey took the lead once again, attacking the Scorpion. He didn't use the dimensional slash once again. Such a powerful attack always takes a lot from the user, mixing it with spatial distortions made it evident.

Grey doesn't usually face things like this due to his immense reserves. Not just him, but most Elementalists always use elemental attacks they know wouldn't take up too much essence so they could fight for a longer period and also protect themselves. Very few of them tend to use elemental techniques that would take up large portions of their essence reserves, but for someone like Grey who has more than triple what any normal Elementalist has, he barely gets to face such events.

But the dimensional slash he just used showed him some signs of using up too much essence.

The Scorpion attacked Grey, but even in its berserk state, it was still watching around, wary of not the others' attacks, but of Grey suddenly unleashing the attack he used a few moments ago. It didn't want to take such an attack again.

This time, it didn't dare to get close to Grey, with the help of its ability to manipulate sand, it was attacking from a good distance away.

Grey was continuously edging closer as he blocked and attacked the Scorpion.

The others were also getting closer to the Scorpion.

Sensing that it wouldn't be able to defeat them, the Scorpion gave up on stopping them and rushed straight at one of those using ice. It wanted to kill that person before escaping.

The person it picked was Victor. Victor didn't expect the Scorpion to come after him since its focus had been on Grey since the start of the battle. However, he had been in a few battles and knew not to panic.

Using the earth element, he covered himself in armor before attacking with a large hammer. The hammer was an elemental weapon, imbued with the earth essence, the hammer increased in size and its weight increased significantly.

The hammer crashed into the Scorpion and it halted its movement, that was enough time for the others to react to the Scorpion's change of opponents.

Grey was the first to react, after already marking the Scorpion, it wasn't hard for him to appear close to it. After appearing, he attacked with the earth element, creating a large earthen hammer and slamming it at the same spot Victor's hammer hit.

The Scorpion which halted its movement was forced back.

Elaris made a move at this moment, with a move of her hand, an ice hammer appeared and it struck the Scorpion at the same spot Grey and Victor's attack hit.

Not just her, but the other Giants attacked, their target was the same spot.

After the third Giant's fist hit the spot, a cracking sound resounded in the area, the Scorpion's hard sh.e.l.l had been broken through.

Unlike the previous times where only cracks appeared, this time, its soft flesh came into view.

The Scorpion screeched in pain.

When Grey saw the meat poking out of the broken sh.e.l.l, the first thought that came to his head was…

'It looks delicious.'

'Void, come back, have you tasted Scorpion meat before?'

'Huh? Scorpion meat?' Void replied.

Grey could almost see Void drooling when he heard how he responded.

'Yes, I'm about to kill this thing, and the meat looks delicious.'

Grey's words enticed Void.

'Keep some for me, I'm coming.'

'I'm not going to cook it now, you starving cat.'

There was no way Grey would cook it now, he still had to search for treasures, what time does he have to deal with cooking?

'Alright, but be fast with it. I want to taste it. From how it looks, I think it will be delicious.'

Grey laughed and continued his attack on the Scorpion.

At the moment, the Scorpion was trying to escape with all its might. But there was no way Grey would allow his dinner to get away so easily. Even when he didn't have the thought of eating it, he would not let it escape, much less now that it has enticed his hunger.

If not for the treasure, he would've eaten the Scorpion immediately after killing it.

He secretly kept the pincer he cut off the last time. With only one pincer, the Scorpion wasn't as dangerous as it used to be.

Grey once again used dimensional slash, mixing it with spatial distortions to ensure it was very powerful. With a single slash, he was able to cut off the tail of the Scorpion. And just like before, he kept it in his spatial ring.

This time, he wasn't subtle, and the others saw it, but they didn't care, they were more interested in the treasures that lay inside the pyramid.

In no time, Grey had cut off all eight legs of the Scorpion, as well as its last pincer.

When everyone saw the condition of the Scorpion, they took a peek at Grey who was looking at it weirdly. It didn't take long for them to understand what Grey wanted.

They could all see the excitement in his eyes, and with the continuous licking of his lips, they knew he wanted to eat it.

Elaris found it odd that Grey had such a character, while the others didn't think too much about it. They've all seen top experts who loved eating different delicacies.

Grey was the one who dealt the killing blow, and before the others could heave a sigh of relief that the powerful Scorpion had been killed, Grey kept it in his storage ring. His countenance returned to its normal indifference after keeping the body of the Scorpion.

He opened his arm and tossed a small black orb at the leader of the Giant. It was the core of the Scorpion. This was a Peak Rank Seven Magical Beast, and although no one said anything about Grey keeping its body, they all eyed its core. The only reason they kept shut was because Grey was the one who made sure they could kill the Scorpion.

Receiving the core from Grey reaffirmed their a.s.sumption about Grey only wanting the body of the Scorpion. Of course, they all knew that the body of the Scorpion was also a good thing to possess since there were a few valuable things in it, but nothing was as valuable as the core which Grey pa.s.sed to the Giant without hesitation.

"Keep it, you're the one who made it possible." The leader of the Giants gave it back to Grey.

Grey held it and chuckled, "I already have a few of these to play with, who wants it?"

Victor raised his hand and Grey tossed it to him as if it was a useless item.

Victor didn't know if he should be happy or sad at the core he just received, after all, it was as if everyone was rejecting it.
