Chapter 171: How The Fuck Does He Do It?

Grey was stunned seeing the young lady running hysterically towards him, and couldn’t help but wonder where he met her.
He didn’t recognize her because after realizing he didn’t know the group from the Azure empire, he didn’t even bother to take a proper look at them, and just forgot about their faces, not just that, but he truly felt they would all die under the hands of the apes, after all, they weren’t as fast as he was.
‘But… What did they do to her? And who did things to her?’ Due to how tears and snot were gushing out of the young lady’s eyes and nose, his curiosity was piqued, it got to the level that he almost forgot he was being chased, well, almost.
“Shit! Who are you? Get out of my way!” He waved his hand sending a stream of wind that blew the young lady back.
He was trying to run away, yet this unknown young lady was running towards him while crying. The only reason he refrained from harming her was that he didn’t know who she was, and he couldn’t just start killing people left and right just because they were running towards him, what if the young lady was only mistaking him for someone else?
But the case would be different the moment the young lady tried to attack him though, if she were to attack him, then he wouldn’t take her as a stranger, rather, she’ll become an enemy he would try to take down. After all, he couldn’t just sit by and allow her to attack him just because he thought she’s mistaking him for someone else.
‘You really don’t remember her?’ Void asked on seeing Grey’s confusion.
‘No, have we seen her before?’ Hearing Void’s words, Grey figured they had crossed paths with this young lady before.
He had crossed paths with a lot of young ladies, and he didn’t really remember all of them, the only ones he remembered were the eye-catching ones or those who did something worth remembering, either good or bad.
‘Yeah… Remember the group that helped with the Lightning Apes? She’s the girl you told me to jump into her arms.’ explained Void.
‘Oh, it’s her! To think she survived.’ Grey immediately remembered the young lady, although not too well, but he recalled telling Void to jump into the arms of a young lady to make their ruse seem more believable to the apes.
‘Wait… Doesn’t that mean she’s talking about the apes? What did the apes do to her?’ Grey’s mind jolted when he thought of the apes.
He couldn’t think of the apes doing any other thing other than ripping their opponents apart.
‘I don’t know.’ Void shrugged.
He, too, was quite curious as to what the Lightning Apes did to the young lady.
“You bastard! You’ll not die peacefully!” The young lady cursed and immediately threw an attack at Grey.
‘Damn it!’ Grey complained internally and created an earth wall to block the attack.
‘Shit! Our friends have caught up.’ Void said in exasperation.
Croak!
The loud croaking of a frog could be heard even from almost five hundred meters away from the forest.
“What’s that?” Neil asked while curiously looking at the forest.
All of a sudden, his body trembled as if he recalled something, then he looked at Grey, then back at the forest, then back at Grey again. Soon, he connected the dots.
‘How could I be so dumb!?’ He questioned himself as he gradually started taking steps back.
This was exactly like the last time he saw Grey, at that time he was inexperienced, so he couldn’t escape on time and had to go through the stress of fighting against the apes that followed them, although the ones that followed them were weak, but had they run away sooner, they wouldn’t have gone through the hassle of fighting against them.
He could tell Grey was in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane seeing how casually he was able to block the attack of the young lady, and he’s definitely stronger than her, so since he was running away from something, it meant that thing was stronger than he was, and Grey was stronger than him. How could he fight against something stronger than someone stronger than him?
‘I have to leave.’ He urged himself and turned around to run.
Just as he turned around.
Boom!
A loud sound drew his attention and once again, he curiously turned to take a glance at the cause of it.
“Oh my God! What did he do now!?” Neil felt his legs go soft and his head spun, he was sure he was so close to passing out.
Three two meters frogs appeared at the same time, and Neil could swear he was hearing sounds of more beasts just as big as these frogs, if not bigger coming their way.
“How does he always survive this?” He asked as he dashed towards the west.
The frogs scared him, they scared the shit out of him. If he were to stay there a little longer, he might just piss on himself.
While Neil was escaping, the young lady whose mind had been cloudy by hate didn’t even see the frogs, the only thing in her eyes right now is Grey. All she wanted to do was kill him, that was all that mattered, nothing else.
“Ah!” She yelled and once again charged at Grey, preparing an attack which she soon released.
The young lady’s attack went straight at him.
‘Void!’ Grey yelled internally not bothering to look at the attack.
‘I know.’ Void replied and disappeared from his shoulder, before appearing ahead of him.
The moment he appeared, the stream of fire coming at them slowly started disappearing after getting within one meter of him.
“Huh!” The muddle-headed young lady felt like she was seeing things and couldn’t help but rub her eyes to get a clearer view.
Whoosh!
The fire appeared behind the unsuspecting young lady, slamming into her back.
“Argh!” She screamed in pain when it hit her.
The force of the fire sent her flying in Grey’s direction.
One of the three frogs shot out its tongue even though the distance between it and Grey was a whooping over three hundred meters.
‘She’s coming.’ Void said after his counter-attack sent the young lady flying.
‘Okay.’ Grey nodded and prepared himself for what would happen next.
Since he was running over, it didn’t take up to two seconds for him to reach the young lady who was mid-air, he caught her leg, took a spin, and threw her in the direction of the tongue.
The whole scene flowed so naturally that one would feel like Grey, Void, the frog, as well as the young lady had practiced this routine a thousand times.
The frog’s tongue got hold of the young lady, and the shocking thing about it was that the tongue was over forty meters away from the frog’s body. Neither Grey, nor Void, nor the escaping Neil whose curiosity was making him take a peek at what was happening could comprehend how a frog’s tongue could stretch that far.
“How’s that even possible?” Neil felt his view in life was taking a turn, a bad turn.
But just when he thought he had seen it all, the frog retracted its tongue along with the injured young lady who was attached to the end of it and opened its mouth wide, swallowing her whole.
Even though the frog was two meters in length and just over one meter and a half in height, Neil felt it shouldn’t be able to swallow the young lady who was just over a meter and a half.
“I need to get out of here.” Neil felt he was having a battle between passing out from shock, and keeping consciousness to escape, but his will to not die, or even if he wanted to die, not in ‘that’ manner was making it impossible for him to pass out.
Just as he got close to the trees, his curiosity once again made him glance over his shoulder, and behold, he saw different types of lizards, as well as frogs, flooding out of the other side of the forest.
He stood still, dumbstruck, and could not help but turn to take a proper look.
‘How the fuck does he do it?’ He asked himself.
He felt his brain heating from the questions, he knew other beasts were coming, but he wouldn’t dare to imagine it was this much. Within the three seconds he had stood watching the beasts flood out, he could confidently swear that over fifty beasts had come out of the forest.
Croak!
The loud croaking sound snapped him out of his reverie and what followed was him falling to the ground.
When his body touched the ground, he huffed and looked behind him, only to see a greenish gooey liquid corroding the tree behind him.
‘Shit! No wonder they say curiosity kills the cat! But not this cat! This cat will live to see another day!’ He said and dashed into the forest, disappearing into the woods.
His curiosity had nearly killed him, had it not been for one of the frogs making a croaking sound while the other one sent its attack towards him, he would have been dead. But yet another question came to his head, how did the greenish gooey liquid travel from almost eight hundred meters away?
Luckily, the frogs nor lizards chased after him, they all followed Grey.
Meanwhile, Void looked in Neil’s direction like he was staring at a fool. Who was foolish enough to stand and watch as so many magical beasts pours out of the forest?
‘Such a dumb guy, he should’ve died to rid this world of one moron.’ thought Void.
