Chapter 369: The Boss Is Coming

Chapter 369: The Boss Is Coming

“Ah!” The young man screamed in rage.
An energy wave shot out from his body, spreading out in all directions. It managed to destroy the attacks of the inscriptions while destroying them as well.
“Just you watch, I’ll kill you!” The young man said, and to Grey’s utmost surprise, the young man turned and fled.
“Huh? It wasn’t supposed to go like this,” Grey said with surprise.
He didn’t chase after the young man, not because he couldn’t catch up to him, but because he needed to leave this place along with Reynolds.
A terrifying aura was speeding towards where they were fighting from the Chimera forest, and if his guess was correct, it was none other than the Chimera.
Sensing two energies that surpassed the Origin Plane fighting close to its territory for so long must have alerted it.
‘The lightning tree’s essence has been exhausted, it time to leave,’
Grey quickly disappeared from the sky.
In the cave.
The Elemental Warrior just finished absorbing the last part of the essence, its aura had gotten to the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane.
Grey suddenly appeared in the cave, and as if it was by instinct, the Elemental Warrior attacked with its lightning sword.
Grey flicked his hand and a fireball blasted the Elemental Warrior, sending it flying.
Bang!
It crashed into the wall on the side.
“That’s rude!” Reynolds immediately stood up and yelled at Grey, before dismissing his Elemental Warrior.
“Come on, you were trying to show off,” Grey said while spreading his hand.
Reynolds couldn’t help but give out an embarrassed smile. He knew Grey was the only one who could appear from nowhere in the cave, but after seeing the increase in the strength of his Elemental Warrior, he couldn’t help it, he wanted to see how Grey could fare against it, after all, it could currently rival a Ninth stage Origin Plane expert.
Seeing how easily Grey was able to send his Elemental Warrior flying with a single attack, he couldn’t help but shake his head wryly.
“Wait? How come you’re this powerful?” Reynolds asked in shock when he sensed the energy that was radiating off of Grey’s body.
“We’re leaving, the boss is coming, and we can’t do anything to it,” Grey grabbed him and immediately disappeared from the cave, he didn’t even bother to take what was left of the essence stones that he used to make the array.
Boom!
A few seconds after Grey and Reynolds disappeared from the cave, an attack destroyed the cave, easily destroying the array that was protecting it.
“Deceitful humans!” An enraged voice spoke out from afar.
Grey and Reynolds were currently far away, in fact, they had moved so far that they had surprisingly overtaken the group who were still in the Rocky Mountains.
With two more blinks, Grey and Reynolds appeared after the swamp, where the horses were tied.
“Alright, we should be safe here.”
Grey’s voice came from the void before the duo appeared close to the horses.
Reynolds currently had a look of incredulity on his face, all he saw were three flashes of light, and they were already here? Did Grey know how many kilometers they had to travel to get here?
“The space element is such an overpowered element. It’s the perfect escape element,” He said in awe.
No matter how he felt about his Elemental Warrior being trounced by Grey a few seconds ago, it had been thrown to the back of his head after what just happened.
They just traveled a distance that would usually take them hours to travel within a mere four or five seconds, that was insane!
“Wait! What was coming?” He suddenly asked.
He recalled hearing Grey saying the boss was coming.
“If I’m not mistaken, it was the Chimera,” Grey replied while sitting on the ground, tired.
Reynolds watched him, and his eyes widened when he sensed Grey’s energy started diminishing. It soon got to the level of the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane.
‘How’s this possible? What sort of technique is Grey cultivating?’ He asked himself.
He only gave Grey a glance before going to loosen their horses, they needed to leave before the others got here. There’s also the danger of the Chimera if it decides to chase.
Grey was currently feeling weak from the battle he had with the young man, and he wasn’t even sure he could fight properly in the meantime. Luckily, he exited the Fusion State on his own and didn’t have to stay till its end.
“Bud, how come you only got to the Fifth stage?” Grey couldn’t help but ask as they started heading back.
“Well, after I sensed the battle going on outside…” Reynolds went on to tell Grey how he decided to give the essence to his Elemental Warrior.
“That ingenious,” Grey couldn’t help but praise.
“How are we going to deal with those plants?” Reynolds suddenly asked.
“Crap! Lightning is ineffective against them?” Grey asked with a dark look.
Reynolds nodded.
‘Damn it! I should’ve carried the horses with me, and taken them to the side.’ Grey thought dejectedly.
He was trying to recover from the fight, now he had to fight against the plants as well.
With no other option, he prepared himself before they got close to the forest. They couldn’t wait on the open field before the forest because it would mean giving the others an opportunity to catch up to them.
They entered the forest, with Grey fighting against the plants on his own. He set up multiple fire inscriptions around them, to use them to help him as he fought against them.
Since they were only two, they traveled through the forest faster than when they were a group. After about thirty minutes, they arrived on the open field after the forest where the plants were staying.
As soon as they got there, Grey immediately raised an earth wall to form a tent, and instantly started sleeping. He didn’t say anything, nor did he even give Reynolds a glance, he just went to sleep on the ground.
