Chapter 1374 Do You Want Me Dead?

Chapter 1374 Do You Want Me Dead?

Grey's group entered the area and a group of lava men appeared. Each man had strength equivalent to each of the group.
"This formation really is something." Grey clicked his tongue.
Alice nodded, impressed at how many things the array formation has been able to conjure. First the skeletons, and then the man from the previous stage, now, it's a group of men made with lava. And being able to show strength that was on the same level as them was also amazing.
"I'll fight that guy, he's at the Peak. You guys fight those on the same level as yourself. You can take Grey's opponent if you want to test your strength." Klaus charged at one of the lava men at the Peak.
His expression, however, soon changed drastically when all four lava men attacked simultaneously. Their attacks were intertwined, enforcing each other.
"Shit!" Klaus exclaimed and blocked the attack.
His ice wall was broken through and he was forced to take some steps back due to the impact of the attack.
"Isn't that cheating?" He complained, "I only wanted to beat that guy up! Why must you all try to bully me?"
Klaus' aggrieved questions fell to deaf ears as the lava men attacked once again.
"Crap! Guys, together." Klaus called for back up.
Grey took a look at the attack pattern of the men and commented, "Their corporation is on another level."
"Fighting them together is harder than when you're fighting them alone." Reynolds remarked.
"Yeah, with them working together, we'll be forced to fight a more powerful unit." Alice added.
"What the fuck are you guys talking about?!" Klaus yelled while being bombarded with attacks from the lava men.
"Help!" Klaus screamed again, he continued, "Can't you see those other guys? Why are you attacking only me?"
"Is your brain fried? I came here with them, we came together!"
"Shit! Shit! Shit!"
Klaus was being forced back as the lava men continued attacking relentlessly. Grey and others were still standing on the side, speaking about the lava men. It was as if they couldn't see Klaus' seemingly dire situation.
….
Outside the volcano.
The middle-aged man and the other Elders were stunned at the scene. Not by the fact that Grey, Alice, and Reynolds weren't helping out, but by the fact that Klaus was holding off four grade five powerhouses. Two of them were even at the Peak, just like him, and the other two were in the Eighth stage.
An Eighth stage grade five Elemental Venerable could go one on one with a Peak grade one Elemental Venerable. This shows just how powerful they are, yet, somehow, Klaus was able to hold them off on his own. Although he looked to be completely overpowered, it would take a while before these guys could defeat him.
"This boy is amazing." An Elder said with a look of shock.
"I wonder how the others are in such a situation."
"They're all most likely all grade nine geniuses. Unbelievable."
The Elders and the middle-aged man was lost for words at Klaus and the others.
….
Back in the volcano.
"How long do you think he can last alone?" Reynolds asked with a playful expression.
"Five minutes max." Grey replied.
"I'll say three."
"Wanna bet on it?"
"What do you have to offer?"
Klaus was left speechless when he overheard Grey and Reynolds betting on his head.
"I'm literally standing right here! What the hell is wrong with you two?!" Klaus once again felt like killing someone, unfortunately, the lava men were too strong. No matter how hard he tried, he hasn't been able to separate them, which made battling them harder.
'Why aren't they attacking those cowards?'
'I can't believe Alice joined in on this!'
Klaus was complaining internally.
"Stop playing around, do you want to see him get hurt." Alice spoke up when she saw Grey and Reynolds on the verge of bringing out what they wanted to stake for the bet.
Grey actually said he would give Reynolds Void if he won. Void annoyed voice came from the void, yelling and cussing at Grey for wanting to give him away.
Grey shrugged when he heard Alice's words.
"Be prepared."
After saying this, he took in a deep breath and his countenance changed. It was like he was a completely different person. The previous person who was joking around was gone and the battle warrior appeared.
Reynolds nodded and his Elemental Warrior suit appeared on him. Alice merged with her Seelie as well, bringing out her domain.
"Attack!"
Alice and Reynolds turned to attack Grey the moment these words left his mouth.
Klaus, sensing this was stunned beyond words.
"What the hel…" He froze mid-sentence when he recalled something and couldn't help but cuss at Grey.
"You fucking show off!"
Grey switched places with one of the Eighth stage grade five lava men.
After appearing among the other three lava men, Grey spread out his hands and a powerful repulsion force sent all three flying.
The lava man that appeared on the spot he was standing on was killed by the attack of both Alice and Reynolds. The lava man didn't expect the attack, and didn't prepare to defend against it.
Facing such an attack, defenseless, there was no way he would've been able to survive the attack. From the lava man's head down to his waist disappeared, leaving just from the waist down.
The body fell to the ground after a second.
"That wasn't so hard. Why were you yelling? You almost destroyed my eardrums." Grey used his pinkie finger to clean his ear as he talked.
Klaus dropped his ice wall and not seeing anyone other than Grey, he felt depressed. Grey appeared and everything was almost instantaneously solved. He had been getting abused by these lava men all thanks to his friends who refused to help out.
"You guys are hateful." He said through gritted teeth.
"We have dealt with one of them, can't you handle to other three?" Grey asked.
"Do you want me dead? Tell me, I'll kill myself. No need to go through pains before eventually dying." Klaus asked.
