chapter-795
After the blue and black-horned men went underground, the black-horned man infused the space element into the formation they made in the place. This would enable him to sense any slight ripple in the space.
When Void entered for the first time, he managed to sense it. But he opted to wait and see what they wanted to do. After Void left the place, he knew this person who entered only came to scout the place.
They waited for some time before he sensed Void entering the place once again. This time, Void caused a ruckus which attracted the attention of everyone there.
They quickly picked up on what they were trying to do.
….Grey looked at the two figures in front of him in shock. They looked completely identical to the horned man he had in his possession.
"A human boy, how interesting." The black-horned man said with a smile.
"Hand brother over, now." The blue-horned man ordered.
"Oh, so he was the one who gave us away. I never trusted him." Grey muttered.
He didn't have any signs of panic contrary to the expectations of the horned men, in fact, he was extremely calm. It was as if he knew something like this would happen.
"You knew we sensed you people?" The black-horned man asked curiously.
"Not entirely, but I've always been the cautious type. I assumed there must be a way he would contact his people without me knowing, so since I brought him out, I've been expecting people as well." Grey replied truthfully."You knew yet you walked in here. You must have a death wish or something." The blue-horned man scoffed.
"Nope, I have a bargaining chip. If you come this far just for him, then it means he's important to you…" Grey was still speaking when he recalled something and he couldn't help but smack his head with a grin, "He's even your brother, this makes things even easier."
The horned men never thought that Grey would think of something like that.
"Listen here boy, I don't know how you managed to capture our brother, but if you want to leave here alive, you will hand him over." The black-horned man said coldly.
"I can leave here alive, with or without your help. What I want to know is what is down there." Grey pointed down the tunnel.
"It's not something a little brat like yourself should concern yourself with. Hand him over and we will let you go." The blue-horned man started to emit intense killing intent, hoping to frighten Grey with it, after all, Grey still had their brother in his custody.
"Alright, I guess I'll have to go on my own." Grey smiled and took a step forward, to the bewilderment of the horned men.
Grey's confidence scared them. For someone who looked so young, they didn't expect him to be this bold.
"I'm done playing." The blue-horned man charged at Grey and attacked.
Grey was already prepared for this and took a defensive position. Just as the blue-horned man's fist was about to hit Grey, he vanished.
Grey was a little taken aback, but within a split second, the blue-horned man appeared on his right, and his fist connected with Grey's body.
The force of the blow sent Grey crashing into the wall by the side, causing a deep crater in it.
The two brothers looked at each other with a smile.
"I never thought I would fall for something like this. A trick I use frequently, a shame."
They heard Grey's voice from the crater with a sigh. They could tell that he didn't sound hurt at all.
Grey crawled out of the crater before looking at himself.
"Damn, you broke it." He couldn't help but complain.
Over time, he had managed to acquire another defensive artifact. It was just like the blue vest, only it was stronger and very small. This was what helped him out in receiving the blow just now. Unfortunately, it was already weakened, and this blow broke it in two.
"I see you have some ways to protect yourself." The black-horned man said.
Grey didn't reply, instead, he took on an attacking pose and launched at the blue-horned man who was closest to him.
The blue-horned man wasn't the least bit afraid of Grey. He was already in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane, and he was very close to the Peak. With his brother by his side, they could even defeat a Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists, much less Grey who was still in the Seventh stage.
They engaged in a fist fight, and the black-horned man didn't do anything to intervene since he didn't see a need to. His brother had the advantage from the start of the fist fight.
Although, he was quite impressed with Grey's performance. For someone in the Seventh stage to match up to his brother was nothing short of impressive.
The battle continued and Grey started to get hit by the blue-horned man more frequently. He couldn't help but start to use his elemental attacks.
With the addition of his elemental attacks, he managed to force back the blue-horned man. However, it wasn't for long since the blue-horned man started to use his element as well.
He was a Water Elementalist as his horn color showed. Unlike humans, the horned race didn't have too many great techniques for their elements since they mainly focus on physical battle. But the horned man was able to use his elements fairly well.
When the black-horned man sensed that Grey was starting to take the upper hand in the battle, he joined in on the battle as well. Now, he finally knew why Grey was able to capture their brother.
Individually, Grey was stronger than they were. This meant that if he fought any of them alone, he would win.
The black-horned man started to use the space element to its full effect. Grey naturally didn't let him get the full advantage since he was also a Space Elementalist.
