Chapter 1437 Someone Must Take The Fall

Chapter 1437 Someone Must Take The Fall

"Stop! Stop! I surrender!" The man screamed after receiving a heavy punch from Grey which crushed his left shoulder.
Grey looked at the man, a little wary. He had tried sealing the man before and the man managed to escape from his sealing. He didn't know how the man was able to still use his elements, but he noticed the man was able to only use his darkness and fire element. Even when he was getting beat up, he still didn't use the lightning and wind element.
This discovery startled Grey since he already expected the man to have four elements. But seeing him use only two elements only showed that something was wrong.
'He only stopped using it after I sealed him. Could there be something else that's wrong with him?' Grey looked at him, not rushing to get close to the man.
He could beat the man, whichever way he is, except he manages to break through to the Sovereign Plane, but that doesn't look likely at the moment.
So he wasn't too worried about that. Nevertheless, he was worried about the sneak attack the man used the last time. The explosion of the puppet was very dangerous. From Grey's senses, he felt it was a Peak Venerable puppet. The force behind such power was shocking, so Grey didn't want to experience that threat again, and this time, the man might be able to actually hit him since he missed the first time due to Grey's quick reflexes.
Grey wanted to attack again, but the man begged, falling to his knees, "Please, I'm no longer in the mood to fight. You're too strong."
The man couldn't use his puppets and was naturally at a disadvantage against someone as powerful as Grey. If the man was fighting against any other Peak Venerable, he would've been able to beat the breaks out of them with the help of his puppets, but Grey was different, he was unique, which made him special. Being the natural counter to Necromancers and Gnomes meant that they were useless against him.
Any of them without good strength will be taken down with relative ease.
Grey looked at the man in his defeated state, "I'll only believe when you tell me how you broke free from my seal."
The man dropped his head and said, "I told you we're twins, correct?"
Grey nodded.
"You sealed my brother's core, mine is hidden behind his. Only myself and now you are aware of this information." The man replied, his voice down.
"Wait, you mean you have two cores?" Grey was shocked.
The man nodded and said, "It didn't come out early, and only came after we got to twenty. So we started working on it. Most people don't know I have two more elements. The ones that do are already dead."
"I see. That's a great trump card to have. Who would've thought two people would be living in the same body simultaneously." Grey shook his head, he genuinely couldn't believe what he was hearing.
To be honest, although he felt he was listening to two different people when the voices changed, he still felt maybe it was all thanks to the man's mental issues. He never thought they were actually two people with separate cores and elements. This was mind-blowing!
"You guys are an anomaly. I don't think there has ever been a case like this." Grey said, he walked closer to the man and asked with a calm expression, "Are you really willing to work for me?"
"Mind you, I'll need your complete obedience and also you should only do things in line with what I want." He added before the man could reply.
"Yes, I don't mind you implanting whatever in my body." The man replied.
"Well, you're too dangerous, so I'll not only put something on both your cores, but your brain as well." Grey said, he thought of something and asked, "Do you have two brains too?"
The man nodded.
"Oh, I see." Grey said and his gaze moved down the man's body, "And…?"
The man nodded.
"That must be tough. I have to tell Klaus. I wonder how he would react." Grey muttered to himself, but the man heard his words clearly.
The man didn't know who this Klaus was, but from Grey's expression, he didn't think he was a good person. Why else would Grey be interested in telling this person about his crotch?
"Well, I'll be sealing your cores now. However, we have a serious problem. Someone has to take the fall for you." Grey said, he looked at the man and asked, "Is there any hope for your siblings?"
"Yes, as long as I remove the control, they will revert back to normal with no memory whatsoever of what happened during the time they were under control." The man replied.
"Actually, they've been in control of themselves most of the time, I only take control of them when I need them." He added.
"So that means they will lose memory of everything?" Grey frowned.
He needed this man, but someone had to be punished in the Faction for these atrocities. Aries might not speak too much on the man who was staying at the town, but she wouldn't want Grey to take this man under him after everything he has done.
The man thought for a while before saying, "There's someone else in the Faction, a Necromancer."
"Oh, there's another one in the Faction?" Grey's interest was piqued.
"Yes, he's more dormant, barely comes out. He's also an Elder at the Peak of the Venerable Plane." The man explained.
Necromancers tend to target those people stuck at the Peak of the Venerable Plane and unable to break through to the Sovereign Plane. The reason for this is that these people were desperate and needed to break through at all costs, especially those close to the end of their lifespan.
"Alright, he'll do. You can return to being the person you used to be. Your siblings are under control and should be fine from facing any issues." Grey concluded.
