Chapter 1019 Taking Them Away In Their Presence

Outside the place where the execution was to be held.

Greyʼs figure could be seen hiding by the side. He knew coming here with others would not do them any good, so he came alone.

ʼGrey, whatʼs the plan?ʼ Void asked.

ʼRescue them, well if I canʼt rescue them Iʼll have to leave them. I canʼt take the risk of dying because of others.ʼ Grey replied.

ʼI already know that, I mean how do you plan on rescuing them?ʼ Void almost facepalmed when he heard Greyʼs reply. Even a moron would know the reason Grey came here.

Grey scratched his head awkwardly before telling Void his plan.

He wanted to cause a disturbance in another area, drawing the attention of the Prince of the Gnome race as well as the leader of the Giants. He would mark Void with his space imprint. All Void needed to do was to search for each of the people captured and notify Grey, who would in turn rush there and take them to another location.

He originally wanted to use Voidʼs space domain to cut them off from the world, but he was able to find out that they were not kept in the same location, so doing that was out of the question.

ʼWhat are you waiting for then, until theyʼve been killed?ʼ Void asked with a teasing expression.

Grey shook his head before stepping out.

ʼWait, what are you doing?ʼ Void was shocked when he saw Grey walking out.

ʼDistracting them, make sure you find them as soon as you can.ʼ Grey spread his arms apart and walked straight into the crowd without even hiding his aura.

When they sensed the aura of a human, every single individual in the place turned to look at him.

”Youʼre bold and gutsy, I admire that.” The Prince of the Gnome race commented.

”Haha, of course, I dared to go to your hideout alone, do you think Iʼd refuse your invitation?” Grey laughed as he took a seat.

”Iʼm surprised you came, I didnʼt think you would. Most people would not walk right into a trap willingly.” The Prince replied.

”Iʼm not like them. I donʼt do things without confidence.” Grey said.

Even in the presence of so many enemies, he was still calm and collected. He didnʼt speak like someone afraid because he had no reason to be, he already had multiple contingency plans for when he would escape if things donʼt go as planned.

The only reason he hadnʼt started to fight with them now was that he was stalling for Void to locate all the imprisoned people. Once Void finds them, he would attack immediately.

”I presume you didnʼt come alone.” The Prince said as he tried to sense if there was anyone else in the area.

”You donʼt have to bother, Iʼm not foolish enough to endanger the lives of multiple people for just six people.” Grey said with a chuckle.

Void had given him news of finding three of the six people which made him happy, but since there were still three people left, he wanted to stall for longer.

The Prince gave the signal for others to go and check if people were hiding.

Grey sat quietly as he looked at them with a playful expression, there was even a bit of a mocking smile on his face.

The Prince stood up and tried to attack, but Grey spoke before he could.

”Youʼre in a hurry, donʼt even want to chat before fighting?” Greyʼs words made the Prince pause for a moment and he felt something was wrong.

”Just so you know, this place is sealed, so even if you try to use the space element, you wouldnʼt be able to.” The Prince didnʼt attack and said.

When Grey heard this, his face turned stiff and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

The Prince laughed in ecstasy when he saw this, he knew Grey relied heavily on his space element and was confident that this was the reason he dared to venture here alone, but now that no one could use the space element, there was no escape for Grey.

He was still laughing when he saw a slight change in Greyʼs face.

”Youʼre talking about the array you set up here? You think such a weak array can stop me?” Grey chuckled, and before the eyes of everyone present, he vanished.

He had already sensed the array before coming here and had even modified it. He could easily teleport out of the area, but the Prince could not.

This array had even made things easier for him. He knew the Prince would be somewhat reliant on the array and would think he wouldnʼt be able to run away, that was why he first showed that expression. However, he was unable to keep up with his facade because Void had reported finding the last person. He immediately took action.

Just as the Prince was still in the middle of panicking, Grey appeared once again.

”Come on, donʼt tell me this is all you have.” Grey said mockingly.

The Prince looked at him with an angered expression.

”Wait, Iʼll be right back.”

Grey vanished again for a few seconds and reappeared. He did it repeatedly, as if he was seemingly mocking the Prince. After about three times, the Prince noticed something was wrong. Whenever Grey vanished, he would sense that there was a change in the environment. Although it was quite faint, he was sure of it.

After Grey appeared two more times, he was able to ascertain what was happening.

”To the prisoners!” He roared even before Grey could reappear.

Grey was silently rescuing the prisoners, and it was even in their presence. This was the greatest humiliation the Prince had ever gone through. Not just the Prince, but the leader of the Giant race was fuming with anger. If what they guessed was correct, he didnʼt even know how to react.

They rushed to where the first prisoner which was closest to the place was kept and not just the prisoner, even the person guarding him was nowhere to be seen.
