Chapter 488: Battle Between Powerhouses
âVoid, stop destroying their heads, okay?â Grey said dejectedly.
This was their main source of income presently, and Void was busy going around destroying the cores of the beasts. Even with the state he leaves them, itâs almost impossible to sell their corpses.
âWhy donât we start a food stand or restaurant, given how good you are at cooking, youâll naturally attract a whole lot of people. And donât forget, youâre handsome too,â Void suggested.
âGuys will want to burn my face if they see me, do you think Iâm ready for such a hassle? And besides, I still need to focus on cultivating,â Grey replied.
He wasnât the least bit interested in cooking for others. Although, he couldnât completely rule out the idea since he couldnât be too sure how desperate they might be for money.
âWhatâs that technique youâre using?â Grey couldnât help but ask.
He could sense that it was a space element attack, but it wasnât close to the level of the power of spatial distortions, but it was still very destructive.
âItâs like sending out a small orb of fragmented space, once it hits a solid object, it will naturally destroy it if the object is not powerful enough to repel it,â Void explained.
âOh, how did you come up with that?â Grey was left astonished by Voidâs ability.
âIâm smart, what do you expect?â Void said, looking at Grey with a look of disdain.
Grey was caught between laughing and crying by Voidâs reply.
âCan you teach me?â He asked.
âI donât think you can, at least not in this continent. Youâre still having difficulties with opening a space tunnel, this would be even more difficult,â Void replied.
Grey thought about it for a while and didnât think what Void said was wrong. Even though he could barely create spatial tunnels now, he couldnât use it to travel long distances like he could in the Azure continent.
If he could previously travel one hundred meters in the Azure continent, here, he is able to travel around ten or fifteen meters. The difference was insane, and one has to know that his elemental grade increased, which means that the distance he could travel in the Azure continent will be higher than what he previously could.
âCome on, letâs continue our journey,â Grey said.
It was still bright, so they would still be able to see more beasts as they head forward.
âAlright,â Void nodded before appearing on Greyâs shoulder.
The duo started their journey once again, Void was the one in charge of killing the beasts they encounter, while all Grey did was to make sure Void didnât destroy the beasts cores and to also ensure that the corpse of the beasts were intact.
Voidâs strength was unbelievable, even in the Aurora continent, he could still easily fight above his stage just like Grey.
A few days later.
Grey and Void were resting in a cave when an explosion suddenly rang out from some distance away.
âWhatâs that?â Void perked up his ears to ask.
âThereâs only one way to find out,â Grey stood up before walking out of the cave.
Void hurriedly ran after him, curious at what caused the explosion. The explosions continued as they got closer to where the sound was coming from.
âLooks like there is a battle going on,â Grey said after hearing the continuous explosions.
They soon saw a ring of fire in the sky, opposite it was a person covered in a lightning cloak. The distance was quite far since they could barely see the figures in the sky.
âOh, strong Elementalists fighting, we should watch!â Void said excitedly.
âAnd what if they just decide to kill us after they are done?â Grey asked, not even thinking about watching the fight.
âThey wonât, come on, letâs watch. Who knows, you might be able to learn something from it,â Void persuaded.
Grey thought about it for a while, and felt Void had a point. These powerhouses wouldnât be bothered with small fries like them, besides, it wasnât like they were enemies.
While Grey and Void were still discussing if they should watch or leave, the battle has continued once again.
Lightning and fire were flying everywhere in the sky, just the aftershock from the attacks were destroying the forest below the duo. Even Grey was having a tough time with staying in the same position.
He was forced to moved further back when the duo moved closer to where he was. From what he was seeing, it looked like the Lightning Elementalist was having the upper hand, but Grey couldnât really say he was certain.
A sea of fire covered the sky, almost covering a range of over two kilometer, but the man cloaked in lightning didnât seem fazed by it. With a simple wave, multiple lightning birds appeared and started to dance across the sea of fire, quickly tearing it apart.
After they tore it apart, they flocked towards the Fire Elementalist. A sphere covered the Fire Elementalist before it exploded out, destroying all the lightning birds.
Grey and Void felt their faces and body dry up from the heat that got to them. All the trees dried up, and from some of the shrieks of beasts, they were certain that some of the lower leveled ones had died.
âSo powerful,â Grey muttered while staring closely at the sky.
The distance between where they were and where the battle was going was at least over four kilometers, yet they could still feel the heat this strongly.
âDo you by chance know what Plane they are in?â He asked Void.
âNo clue, but they should be above the Sage Plane,â Void replied.
Even he wasnât too sure of the strength of the two Elementalists, but he knew that they were very powerful. Even the people he saw in the arena were not as powerful as these two.
Grey stared at the sky in awe of the strength of the people. He couldnât help but imagine himself being this powerful, even more powerful than they were.
âIâll be this powerful soon, even stronger,â He said to himself confidently.
They continued watching the exchange between the duo.
After almost thirty minutes, but fighters separated, with the Lightning Elementalist clearly on top in the battle.
The Fire Elementalist was the first to leave, and was attacked by the Lightning Elementalist while leaving, but the Fire Elementalist made no efforts to fight back, leaving as soon as possible.
The Lightning Elementalist stayed a little longer before leaving in the other direction.
Grey looked at Void, âIsnât that last attack a little too shameless? I mean, the opponent was already leaving,â
âOf course not, as long as you can beat your opponent a little more, why not?â Void replied.
To him, it wasnât a shameless act.
âYouâre just as crazy as Klaus, I never expected you to find it shameless anyway,â Grey said before heading back to the cave.
He was still in the middle of comprehending the earth element, so he wanted to continue.
On his way back to the cave, he noticed something strange.
âHuh? Thereâs someone here?â He said softly.
âYeah, powerful, very powerful. We should leave immediately,â Void replied while turning around.
The person inside wasnât even planning to hide their aura.
Just as the duo turned around, an alluring voice came from behind them.
âAnd where do you two think youâre going?â
Grey and Void freaked out a little since they didnât sense anyone coming close to them.
âUhmmm⦠weâre going back to where we came from,â Grey replied calmly.
âCome on, I gave you two a show, wonât you, you know, pay me for my services?â The voice of a lady said.
âA show? I donât know what youâre talking about,â Grey said.
He still havenât turned around yet. But he could tell from the voice that the person was a lady.
âStop playing dumb, boy, the only reason I fought that long was because I noticed I had some audience, you know, itâs always great to entertain your audience,â The voice chided.
âWe were only passing through, we didnât have any plans of watching your battle,â Grey explained.
âCome on, turn around, I donât bite,â The voice said.
Grey refused to turn around, even though he knew he was clearly no match for the lady behind him.
Buzz! Buzz!
The sound of lightning came from behind Grey, and butterflies made of lightning flew around Grey.
It was both a beautiful and dangerous sight.
Greyâs hairs stood straight, he could sense the tingling feeling of tiny bolts of electricity dancing around his body. Luckily, his lightning elementâs grade was high, instead of being shocked by it, he was surprisingly absorbing it.
âSuch a strange boy, even though this isnât an attack, itâs strange that someone can absorb another Elementalistâs element,â The lady said, clearly shocked by what was going on.
âNow Iâm even more curious about you, turn around, Iâm not here to kill you. Besides, if I wanted to, youâd be dead by now,â The lady said, this time, her voice not as friendly.
