Chapter 863 Lutra Race Seeking Revenge

Grey and Void appeared not too far from the city where Keith was captured. He didnʼt know what happened, but from the number of people he saw gathered outside, he was certain that something major must have happened.

They were about to move when Void suddenly paused and looked in a certain direction.

”Whatʼs up?” Grey asked curiously when he saw Void looking in another direction.

”That two-headed snake is there.” Void replied.

”Isnʼt it supposed to be with Keith?” Grey asked with a confused look.

”Yeah, thatʼs why Iʼm surprised itʼs there.” Void answered.

”Letʼs see whatʼs up with it before meeting up with Keith.” Grey suggested.

”Wouldnʼt he be dead before we come back?” Void was a little worried about Keithʼs safety.

”He should be fine. If I wasnʼt here, what would he have done?” Grey didnʼt feel too worried about it.

The main reason he came over was that since coming here, this was the only time Keith has asked for his help. If not, he wouldnʼt have come over to help him out.

Void could only agree with him and go over to meet up with the two-headed snake.

It took them a few minutes before they got there. Void traced the snake to a small cave that had some water inside. Looking around, they saw the snake lying on the ground, injured.

”I see, no wonder they got that guy.” Grey commented when he saw the state of the snake.

Void went over to speak with the snake. He was a magical beast, so he could naturally communicate with the snake. After talking for some time, he found out that Keith was ambushed by people from the Lutra race. Actually, Keith wasnʼt the only one, every human around this area was ambushed.

Grey gave the snake a healing tonic he got from this realm. It was not as effective as the tonic he got from the blooming viper, but it was still good. This snake had been very useful since he got it, so he didnʼt mind keeping it alive.

The snake was already in the Mid stages of Rank Six, so it meant whoever attacked them would be either in the Mid stages or the Sage Plane, or the Late stages.

Grey and Void left the snake so it could heal up before heading to the city. Since Grey could change the color of his skin, he didnʼt need to worry about anything. He walked into the city through the city gates and even greeted the guards as well.

The fact that he could speak their language made things easier for him. He asked around and found out a few things.

Those from the Lutra race had always known of humans coming into their world. However, lately, their city had been attacked repeatedly, and their cargoes were stolen. This sent them into an outrage and they decided to take out every human they found. They would track them, and after getting a good enough chance, they would ambush them.

In total, they had captured over ten humans during the past few days, and they would be executing them in a few hours.

”I guess there will always be a bunch of troublemakers.” Grey said softly.

The Pyrmond Faction were the only ones who had access to this realm, from what they knew. He couldnʼt be a hundred percent certain that only the Pyrmond Faction had access to this realm. If other Factions accidentally found a spatial node that connects this place to the Aurora Continent, there was no way those from the Pyrmond Faction would be aware of this.

Grey didnʼt have any problems with getting to the place where the execution would be held, it was a public place, after all.

When he looked at all those captured, he noticed they were from the Pyrmond Faction. Most of them wore the Factionʼs uniform since it had defensive properties.

Grey wasnʼt wearing his since he was wearing clothes he stole from one of the members of the Lutra race. He had to fit in, and he couldnʼt do that with his normal clothes.

His gaze soon rested on Keithʼs body. Keithʼs state was not as bad as the two-headed snake, other than a few bruises, he was fine.

ʼWhat do we do now?ʼ Void asked.

ʼStop the execution, of course.ʼ Grey replied casually.

ʼBut there are a few Late stage Sage Plane Elementalists around.ʼ Void warned.

ʼNot a problem, itʼs not like I want to fight. Iʼm just taking some people and leaving.ʼ Grey replied, still not bothered about the people in the Late stages of the Sage Plane.

ʼBesides, I have you here, why should I be afraid?ʼ He added with a grin.

ʼIʼm not going to get myself beat up because of these people.ʼ Void showed his stance from the start.

ʼCome on, youʼll get some good shiny things from them as a reward.ʼ Grey persuaded.

ʼIʼm not going to fall for that again.ʼ Void snorted and refused to listen to whatever Grey had to say.

Grey continued pestering Void, he wasnʼt interested in what the man on the stage was talking about. The man was talking about how humans came to their world and started to steal their resources and use them as objects of training. He planned to revolt against this, but the humans hadnʼt come this close to their high rank cities.

When Grey heard about what they had been going through in the past years, he couldnʼt help but shake his head at the cruelty of the members of the Syphilis Faction. They had been using these people for experiments, causing all sorts of diseases and disasters.

The people of the Lutra race had been searching for a way to make humans pay for their crimes. After the attacks on the city, they realized a group of humans was around. They sent out their strongest warriors, and after a few days, they captured this group of people.

ʼSo Keith was unlucky and came to this area. No wonder even the snake couldnʼt do anything against them. They were ready for them.ʼ Grey thought in realization.
