1102 Battle Hungry Group

"You're growing evil." Klaus said when Grey ran back to where they were.

They were already thinking of joining the battle and trying to see if they could kill off all the Sage Plane Elementalists, who would've thought that an accident would occur and Grey would even use it to his advantage and even attack those from the Syphilis Faction.

"They're stupid if they think they can escape from a conflict with me unscathed. Even if I can't beat them now, it doesn't mean I won't make them regret it." Grey replied, not too bothered about the others.

They all had the same thinking to begin with, Klaus might be worse since he would use his words to infuriate these people. All he did was take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself and make them suffer some losses. At least now, these people would think twice before crossing paths with him or anyone he knew.

"Thank you for helping us, I don't know what would've happened without you coming." The young man who was in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane thanked Grey and the others. Although he was strong, other than escaping with his life, there was nothing he could do in that situation.

Grey looked at the young man, he felt the young man was not a bad person since he decided to stay with the others when he could've escaped. If the young man had escaped, the others would have undoubtedly died before Grey and his friends got here, but he would've been safe. However, he didn't leave, rather, he stayed there with them, helping them fight against that group.

People from the Pyrmond Faction were all told repeatedly of teamwork and building trust amongst themselves, and Grey could see the impact of it. They were not leaving anyone behind. Of course, he knew not every member of the Pyrmond Faction had this sense of togetherness with the others.

"Do you have any items that would help with healing?" He asked after looking at the others. Their injuries were by no means light, if they had arrived a few minutes late, then only the young man in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane had a high chance of survival.

"Yes, we can manage, we still have some things." The young man said. He didn't want to look at Grey, so after thanking him, he left.

"Did anyone else notice his awkwardness or is it just me?" Klaus looked around after the group left.

The others nodded.

Keith gave a wry smile before explaining, "He should be part of Grand Elder Archibald's faction. A student of one of Grand Elder Archibald's sons."

"Who's Grand Elder Archie?" Klaus asked with curiosity.

"Archibald." Keith corrected.

"Archie sounds better, don't you think so?" Klaus replied with a grin.

Grey shook his head and let Klaus be, not speaking of how he addressed him, it wasn't like it had anything to do with him. He told the group of his encounter with the Grand Elder of the Pyrmond Faction.

"You were almost crippled?" Klaus and the others had frosty expressions, especially those that had known Grey for a long time. Alice and Reynolds looked like they would attack the Grand Elder if he were in front of them.

"The Faction Leader helped me resolve the matter, and with the appearance of my father, he had to back off. But I don't think he has given up on the matter." Grey explained before looking at the area where the energy erupted. If they were a bit slower, then they would've been in trouble. He still felt a bit fearful.

"Void, don't use your space domain any longer." He warned.

"I know." Void replied, he was also frightened by the attack. Luckily, they managed to react fast.

"Can we use this again?" Klaus asked with a thoughtful expression.

"Most definitely. But it's too dangerous. There's no need in endangering our lives, of course, it wouldn't matter if we were in danger in the first place." Ellis said.

Of all of them, he was the strongest, so he had a higher grasp of the power that erupted there. There's a chance that he might survive, but if he was delayed there, then it was a different story.

"Let's continue."

The group continued on their journey. Grey didn't want them to split up now since they were already in the more dangerous parts of the ruin. Every person who entered this place would soon start to cross paths since their paths would grow smaller as they head to the middle of the ruin.

….

While the group were advancing, Grey had no idea he was being tracked by a group. This group all wore black cloaks, but released sinister auras. Even the grass they step on die from the baleful aura that they released.

In the group, a little girl who looked to be around six years old was skipping around, looking at the place with a playful expression.

"You've still not found him, who will I play with now?" She said in a cute manner while staring at the black cloaked figures.

The black cloaked figures didn't say a word but they all increased their speeds, heading in a particular direction.

"You found his traces? Yay! It's been so long since I had a good playmate. I heard he's very good." The little girl giggled as she rushed in the direction the black cloaked figures were headed. In total, there were six people in the group, including the little girl. Other than the little girl, the others all wore black cloaks.

The little girl and her group disappeared.

….

On another part of the Ruin, another group was also searching for Grey.

This group was even more ostentatious than the previous one. They were hunting down the people from the Pyrmond Faction in search of Grey.

Of all the people who entered this place, the Pyrmond Faction had suffered the greatest casualty, and all this was because of one person, Grey.

Some people who died were all aggrieved, they died for someone they didn't even talk to. Since joining the Faction, Grey rarely came out of his building, other than when he was heading to the library, going out for a mission, or leaving the Faction ground, they rarely saw him, yet they were being killed because of this person. There were even some who had not seen Grey before due to some circumstances. Many people in the Faction and the Continent knew of the name Grey, but only a few had seen him.

After the battle with the Syphilis Faction, he was challenged by the young lady from the Syphilis Faction, but he refused to appear.

Grey wasn't the only one who had communication devices, so the news of people from the Syphilis Faction hunting Grey down soon spread among those from the Pyrmond Faction.

The Syphilis Faction only attacked small groups, the group Grey encountered was one of the largest groups that the Syphilis Faction had attacked.

Keith was quite social, so he managed to get the news two days later.

….

"They're killing or Faction members because of me?" Grey frowned when he heard this.

"Yes." Keith nodded.

"Why didn't that moron say anything about it?" Grey felt annoyed.

Those three died because of him, even if he didn't feel any form of attachment to them, he would've made sure he killed the group from the Syphilis Faction. As long as he was willing to pay a price, he would've been able to kill them, that, he was confident in doing.

"Didn't you see how fast he ran when he met you? He also wanted to do the same to you, but he's not as open as the others." Klaus replied nonchalantly.

"Damn it!" Grey hated being hunted down by people, but he hated it even more when those who had nothing to do with him had to suffer because of him.

"Let's go kill some people." He said in annoyance, "I'll make them tremble at the mention of my name."

"Sure, traveling without doing anything is boring." Klaus was excited, he had a feeling he would break through soon, the sword had been really helpful to him.

"Keith, you have a wide social network, ask them if they know the route of those from the Syphilis Faction." Grey turned to Keith.

Ellis was a little taken aback, Grey was really ready to hunt down these people. Even Klaus who was still in the Sage Plane was excited about this.

Thinking of how they fought, he couldn't help but shake his head. This group of friends were all battle maniacs. Forget how it looks like Grey and Alice were the only ones who liked fighting, Klaus and Reynolds were no different, Void as well.

During their time in the Azure Continent, they almost fought against the entire Continent. They had to go through battle after battle. That had turned them into the battle hungry people that they were at the moment. Klaus and Reynolds might still have some reservations, but Grey and Alice were different.
