Chapter 213: Following The Trail

‘Hehe, that should teach him a lesson.’ Grey snickered inside but acted like he knew nothing about what just happened.

‘Void, why are you screaming?’ He asked with concern.

‘That bastard whipped my butt! Let’s…let’s kill it!’ Void said in pain.

He hadn’t even been able to free himself yet he was attacked again. Now he regretted stealing the crystal all the more. If he could go back in time, he would not have taken it.

Without any further delay, he quickly thawed the ice that was restraining his limbs, before Aetonth would whip his butt again. As soon as he freed himself, he stood on his two hind legs and rubbed his butt with his forelimbs like a human would do if they were whipped in the butt.

‘We should escape first, after that, we’ll think of what to do next. Which I presume is running, again.’ Grey didn’t even have the thought of killing Aetonth.

When he was previously using the Fusion State, he couldn’t defeat it, much less now that he couldn’t use it anymore. Besides, why would he want to kill Aetonth for something he did?

‘It’s because you weren’t the one lashed, that’s why you’re saying this.’ Void’s voice was in between crying and speaking normally.

Grey felt Void was just a question away from actually crying, and he opted not to ask it, for now. Once they’ve escaped, then he’ll get on Void’s nerves.

‘Stop acting like a scaredy cat and fight back, don’t you want to get your revenge?’ He urged him to attack.

‘Ah!’ Void yelled in anger before attacking with the darkness element. He made a cloud of darkness and sent it Aetonth’s way.

He was incensed! How dare Aetonth whip his butt? It was unforgivable!

Boom! Bang!

Aetonth ripped apart the dark cloud that Void sent its way before smacking him to the ground.

‘No, no, I’ll get revenge later. Let’s find a way to escape first.’ After getting hit, Void quickly discarded the thought of revenge.

Who was he kidding? There was no way for the duo to go toe to toe with Aetonth, much less beating it. Yet, he was thinking of killing it? How stupid of him.

Grey chuckled and attacked as well, he wanted to find an opportunity to take down Aetonth then run away. He was already close to the array, about one hour thirty minutes or so. He hoped that Aetonth wouldn’t be able to catch up with him before he gets there.

Boom!

His fireball clashed with Aetonth’s ice ball, sending heat and chill in two directions.

Grey immediately used his inscriptions to attack before the aftereffects of the explosion when the two attacks collided died down.

Bam! Bam!

The two inscription’s attacks connected with Aetonth, pushing it down a little. Grey saw this as an opportunity and quickly jumped from the top of the building, making an earth glove around his hand. He prepared his right hand, and as soon as he got close to the descending Aetonth, he struck a terrifying blow on its back.

Boom!

When his fist connected, he also caused an explosion with his fire element as well, sending Aetonth towards the ground quickly.

Bang!

Aetonth’s body crashed into the ground, making a pit in it. Grey on the other hand was boosted upwards from the explosion he caused after his fist connected. He quickly landed on the top of the building once again before turning around to flee.

‘Void! What are you doing?’ Grey was left speechless when he saw Void going close to the end of the building, looking at the pit Aetonth made when it crashed into the ground.

A dark orb formed just above his head that he sent straight into the pit. He didn’t even allow it to travel at its usual speed as he moved it into the pit directly, using the space element.

Bam!

Roar!

Aetonth’s roar of pain was heard from the pit. When it previously slammed into the ground, it didn’t really feel any pain. But the corrosive ability of the darkness element always finds a way to cause it harm. This was one of the other reasons it always beats Void up more compared to Grey.

‘That little cat, just you wait for the next time I catch up to you.’ It hissed in pain.

After hearing the roar, Void quickly withdrew his head from the edge of the building before saying, ‘Quickly let’s go, before it recovers.’

Without being told, Void knew Aetonth’s hatred for him just increased to a new height. It’s just that, he wouldn’t be at rest if he didn’t get revenge. Now that the opportunity presented itself, of course, he was going to use it.

Grey looked at him in pity, ‘Pray it doesn’t catch up before we get to the array.’

Even Grey wasn’t optimistic about their chances of not encountering Aetonth again, after all, there was still around one hour thirty minutes before they got there. Given how things had been going all this while, it might catch up to them at least once, before they got to the array.

The duo quickly ran out of the compound, disappearing into the forest on the right.

Fifteen minutes after Grey and Void left.

A group of four walked into the compound, heading to the side of the building where Aetonth crashed. The group compromised of the twelfth prince, Neil, and the two other youths.

They had been tracking Grey and Aetonth after they got out of the water, yet even when Grey and Aetonth spent so much time fighting here, they still weren’t able to catch up.

“They’re gone.” The twelfth prince narrowed his eyes as he examined the compound.

The building was originally damaged, but he quickly noticed the new parts of it that were broken.

“What if the boy is hiding in the building?” One of the two youths said.

The twelfth prince gave them the go-ahead to check it out. After about two minutes, they came out of the building shaking their heads.

“They shouldn’t be far, they definitely fought here not too long ago.” The twelfth prince said and looked at the pit Aetonth made when it crashed.

‘Is he that strong to cause this? I’ll have to see for myself.’ He thought before following the trail once again.

The group headed to the forest on the left.

Grey headed to the right, but since Aetonth usually gives him some time to rest, it went to the left to also rest a little.

The twelfth prince nor anyone in their group knew of this, hence they followed Aetonth thinking it was still pursuing after Grey.
