Chapter 1290 We Wait

"They call that a hideout?" Klaus asked as they looked at the huge castle that rose into the sky.
Even a moron would be able to identify that it was the Gnomes' hideout, there was a large statue of someone there, Grey wasn't familiar with the face on the statue, but given the way the person looked, it was easy to know the person was a Gnome of high status.
"Well, they've never been subtle in their ways." Grey said, not too surprised this place was like this.
When he also found the hideout in the lower realm, it was almost in the same way as well, but this castle had more majestic designs, giving it a look befitting a king.
"Do you think they already know we're coming?" Reynolds asked.
"I guess so. Since people stopped coming from this direction, and the others in the other areas seemed to be gathering there, I guess they could already tell we were coming." Grey replied while still staring at the castle.
He had been keeping tabs on the other Gnomes around, he could sense them, so he knew their general direction. From what he was sensing, they were all coming towards the castle, from all angles.
"Should we barge in?" He asked the others.
If he were alone, he wouldn't bother about it, but he didn't want to recklessly endanger his friends.
"Don't worry, we can deal with them from here." Klaus said.
Grey took a glance at Klaus, almost wanting to ask if he was the same person he knew. Klaus has always liked things like that, but for some reason, he decided to use his head this time.
"Why are you giving me that look? I'm not a moron. Since they already know we're coming, they must be prepared." Klaus grunted when he saw the look Grey was giving him.
"Let's cut off the others that are heading back." Reynolds suggested.
"That's not a bad idea. It'll infuriate them even more." Klaus said, he looked at Reynolds and praised, "I see you've grown more sensible since the last time we traveled together."
"What do you mean by that?" Reynolds looked at him, a little annoyed.
"You know, you've always been a mo…" Klaus paused mid-sentence when he saw the lightning figure standing beside Reynolds, "I mean, you've always been smart. But you've gotten smarter now."
Alice and Grey chuckled when they saw Klaus' sudden change of heart.
"Come on let's go, what are we waiting for?" Klaus asked the others.
They all nodded and went in the other direction, they wanted to make sure they killed as many Gnomes as they could. Even if the Princes came out to fight them, they would've taken out most of the Gnomes present in the secret realm.
The group left the place they were hiding and headed in the direction Grey was sensing more Gnomes. They didn't need to do much, with Grey and Void's help, they were able to seal the area, making sure no ripples from the battle would leak out. They made sure the people were killed in a short time.
After killing the ones coming from a certain direction for about five to ten minutes, they left that area and went to another place. The reason for this was so that in case those in the castle sensed them, they wouldn't be able to set up an ambush on them.
….
While Grey and his friends were going around the castle, killing all those moving in the direction of the castle, the Second Prince was on the verge of losing his mind.
He had already set up a good ambush, all that was left was for Grey and his friends to show up, however, to his disappointment, they were going around killing people.
He noticed that the light dots were going off at different angles, which meant that they were not coming to the castle, rather, they were killing everyone around the place.
"How are they able to track them so efficiently?" The Second Prince clenched his fists, almost shattering the throne he was sitting on.
His younger brother, the Seventh Prince wasn't as tense as his elder brother, "There's only one person I can say is capable of doing this, and it's him."
"Even if it's him, he's not invincible." The Second Prince said in annoyance.
He hated the fact that his younger brother was right, although he wasn't a hundred percent certain, but from how easy it was for Grey's group to take out their people, he believed it must be someone who could cut their links with their puppets.
"Find him." He screamed angrily.
"You're only sending them to their deaths. Tell the others not to return, he's only going to kill them." The Seventh Prince wasn't in support of the Second Prince's orders.
If more people left, they were only throwing their lives away, there was nothing they could do to stop Grey.
At the moment, the Seventh Prince had no idea Grey was with a group, but even so, he still felt that Grey was someone who did things with confidence. He dared to come to the hideout in the lower realm, it meant that there was nothing he didn't dare to do.
"What do you suggest then, little brother?" The Second Prince asked.
"We wait, he'll surely come on his own accord. If I'm not wrong, he's trying to take out as many people as he can." The Seventh Prince answered calmly.
Those in the castle looked at the Seventh Prince, they all knew he had had encounters with Grey, and lost in each of them, even when he got to the Elemental Venerable Plane and Grey was still in the Sage Plane.
The Second Prince wasn't impressed, but he didn't argue with his younger brother. Since his younger brother was so confident in Grey coming over, they would wait.
"Alright, little brother, I hope you're not wrong. If this enemy escapes, it's your fault." The Second Prince calmed his mind down and relaxed on his throne.
