Chapter 655 - A Familiar Tactic ll They entered the cave, and after walking inside, they soon got to an intersection. This was all too familiar, and followed the path five more groups followed. They didn't walk far before they heard the scream of a person. It was clear that he was suffering from unimaginable pain. Grey shook his head before spreading out his spiritual senses. He noticed the array in the cave easily, unlike the last time. After looking at it, he realized that he could tamper with it and the old man wouldn't even be able to realize it. He decided to slightly delay the activation of the traps. This way, the people would get to figure out that an attack was coming. He didn't want people to die when he could easily kill the old man. Naturally people would die anyway, but he wanted to reduce it as much as possible. After all, everyone here had a family, even those who didn't might have someone waiting for them. After tampering with the array, he didn't bother with this group any longer and picked a path randomly. They walked ahead and he was the one who was leading them. He would occasionally activate an array, but he would easily destroy the attack. Before long, they had almost gotten to the end of the cave. Due to the delay in the attacks, over seventy percent of the people present made it to the end. This shocked the old man greatly. He couldn't help but look around in a confusing manner. If the people he followed got here he could attribute it to the Overlord Plane Elementalists in their ranks, but even Grey and his friends who were in the Mid stages of the Origin Plane still managed to get there unscathed. He snorted coldly before a sly grin appeared on his face. To him, either way, all of them would die. It didn't change a thing. The two Overlord Plane Elementalists stared at each other and acted at the same time, each trying to first the other collect the floating orb. Grey sat down to watch the show. The scrawny man rushed towards them when he found out they managed to get here successfully. "I'm impressed you four got here successfully, now hand over the treasures you acquired on the way." He stretched out his hand in a demanding way. Grey raised both hands to show that he had nothing with him. The others did the same. The few things they saw when coming didn't really interest them, but they couldn't let free things go to waste. They cleaned the place, keeping everything in their spatial ring. Since these people knew nothing of the space element, there was nothing they could do to them. "I forgot, since you all made it here, then you were all trying to survive, how could you get the time to take anything?" The man mocked. "Hey," Klaus called to draw the attention of the man. The man naturally turned to look at him. Klaus put on a questioning look before asking, "Aren't you a little too old for all this. I mean, you should be around eighty, or even ninety, yet you're here fooling yourself." "You…" "Keep quiet, I'm not done talking yet. Look at you, if you were my son, I'd send you back to hell where you came from the second I see your face. Then, what's with that face? If I didn't know, I would've thought you were a monkey masquerading as a person. But calling you in the same breath as a monkey seems like an insult." Klaus went on, and the man had his mouth wide open, unable to retort. Klaus' words were like a knife that dug deep into the heart of the man. The man wanted to speak, but nothing came out of his mouth. "Now, that right there is a violation." Reynolds said before bursting into laughter. Grey chuckled to his words. Alice covered her mouth, while Klaus also burst out laughing. The man stood there, his expression despondent. "You can go back now, your mom is calling." Klaus said when the man couldn't speak. To their greatest surprise, the man actually turned around, and truthfully, someone was calling him, but it was a man. His face contorted in anger before he angrily turned around. He was just about to attack when a change occurred in the cave. The two Overlord Plane Elementalists who were fighting suddenly started to struggle as if they were held by an invisible hand. When everyone looked below them, they saw the man who looked harmless merging with the orb. "Hehehe, I have a bountiful harvest this time. I'll finally be able to break through to the Sage Plane." He laughed evilly as he completely merged with the orb. His cultivation shot up to the Peak of the Overlord Plane. But Grey and the others knew his strength was well above those at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Grey studied the man before nodding his head. It was just as he thought, the man changed. His body blinked occasionally before turning corporal. This was the reason Grey didn't try to kill him when he saw them outside. There was something strange about what he did, so the body outside couldn't really be said to be his true body. Grey didn't understand how it worked, but he felt slightly intrigued by it. The two Overlord Plane Elementalists' expressions changed drastically when they saw this. "You tricked us?" One of them said angrily. "Hehe, keep quiet and die." The man chuckled coldly. The two Overlord Plane Elementalists naturally wouldn't give up that easily. They managed to break free from what was holding them and attacked. "Futile effort." The man said before waving his hands and blood red water appeared, blocking the attacks. "Are there still special types of water?" Reynolds asked curiously. "I don't know." Grey and the others shook their heads. "Is that the person you want to kill?" Alice asked.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 "Yes. He'll use a technique to drain the life of everyone here. But he'll want to deal with those two first." Grey nodded. "Should we save them?" Alice asked. "Not yet, let's watch for now." Grey smiled. When the scrawny man overheard their conversation, he rolled his eyes.
