Chapter 137: Quinn’s Death



Chapter 137: Quinn's Death

____

Grey who just prepared to attack had a fright when the phantom appeared behind Quinn.

‘What is that?’ He looked at it curiously.

But the next moment, he turned and jumped from his tree to the next one trying to escape the range of the attack. The scene of the first tree and the earth being consumed sent a chill down his spine. He didn’t even dare to block the attack, he outright ran away.

Who would dare to block something like that? The speed at which the darkness essence was eating up everything on its path was frightening. Grey was almost sure if he set up a defense, there was a chance it might also eat it up.

Although there was a chance he might be able to successfully block the attack, he didn’t dare to take the chance. What if he couldn’t block it? Wouldn’t that mean he’ll dry up like the trees and the earth?

While running, he realized the attack was still spreading out. When he originally started attacking Quinn, they were just over two hundred meters away from the building. But, after Quinn’s multiple attempts to escape, they had moved further by at least one hundred meters or so, he wasn’t too sure about it though.

Now, at this pace, there was a chance the attack would get to the building. If his friends were caught up by it, then the consequences would be detrimental.

He quickly ran towards the building at his fastest speed, but the speed at which the attack was spreading was only a little bit slower than he was.

When he reached the building, he wanted to send out an attack and disrupt the cultivation of his friends. Even though the sudden disruption might harm them, it was better than dying, right?

Just after passing through the fence surrounding the compound, the darkness essence also reached there. But it stopped after moving two meters from it.

Grey hastily canceled his attack the moment he realized the darkness essence had stopped spreading. When he turned to look at the result of Quinn’s attack, he sucked in a cold breath.

“Oh my God! How can this be the result of a single attack?” He exclaimed in shock.

Every single thing on the path of the attack had been destroyed. The fence had fallen, the few trees still standing looked like they were transported here from one thousand years ago. Grey was sure if the trees were hit by a little wind, they would fall apart like the others.

He curiously sent out a wind attack, and the result was just as he had predicted, it fell apart and shattered into bits.

“This guy’s a monster. Luckily, the attack stopped spreading, or I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if something were to happen to the others.” Grey sighed in relief.

Had he not played Quinn to a state of almost going mad, then he wouldn’t have used such an attack. Having this technique and not using it previously meant the technique couldn’t be used lightly.

Thinking up to this stage, he quickly dashed towards where they previously were. Even though he had predicted the state of the forest after seeing what its outer region looked like after the attack, he was still left speechless when he stepped on a tree that had fallen on the ground and it shattered.

Getting to the location, he couldn’t find Quinn.

“Of course he’d escape. But he hasn’t gone far, I can still sense him around.” Grey charged towards where he was sensing the darkness essence.

Two minutes later.

Grey caught sight of an emaciated-looking young man.

“Oh my God! No wonder he didn’t use it previously.” Grey was shocked by the price Quinn had to pay.

Quinn who was slowly walking away turned around instantly and looked at Grey with eyes filled with insanity. His previous amazing looks were gone, his face and body were all dried up.

“It’s you!” He exclaimed.

“Me? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Also, who are you?” Grey replied while looking around innocently before he questioned.

He knew it was Quinn, but after hanging around with Klaus for so long, he had picked up a thing or two about annoying people.

Quinn’s anger increased a notch higher when he saw the innocent-looking expression on Grey’s face. But on hearing the question, he flared up instantly.

“I’ll kill you? I know you were the one who attacked me,” Quinn yelled.

“If I attacked you, you’d be dead. Also, I still have no idea who you are,” Grey said confidently.

Quinn was actually slightly taken aback when he heard this. From the little contact he had with Grey, he felt Grey was speaking the truth since he didn’t think someone of Grey’s caliber who he even thinks of as an equal would stoop so low.

“Hmph! I don’t care if you’re the one or not. Hand over the nine drops of the Great Earth Essence Liquid, and I’ll leave your corpse intact,” Quinn snorted coldly.

“Have you seen yourself?” Grey chuckled.

If Quinn decided to lie down without moving an inch, it would be very easy for everyone to mistake him for a corpse.

‘There’s no bag with him, this means the nine drops of Great Earth Essence Liquid is not with him, but his friends.’ Quinn thought while placing his hand on his bag and destroying a two inches object that had weird symbols.

The moment the object was destroyed, Quinn’s companions who were in different places felt their own heat up. Taking it out, it floated into the air before moving in a particular direction.

___

“Where are your friends?” Quinn asked.

Grey glanced at Quinn before looking around. He didn’t miss the part where Quinn placed his hand on his bag and took it out moments later.

‘I shouldn’t delay any further. I almost caused a catastrophe for my friends when I played with him previously. I’m not making that mistake again.’ With this in mind, Grey attacked.

“Don’t think you can defeat me even though I look like this. You’re a fool to think I’m weak.” Quinn laughed and struck out.

Boom!

Grey’s fireball was met with Quinn’s attack. The attack exploded, but Quinn’s attack surprisingly continued moving towards Grey.

Quinn used a lightning attack, but for some reason, it had the corrosive effect of the darkness element.

While Grey was scurrying to destroy the attack coming his way, Quinn coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

‘I need to stop attacking. The after-effects of this technique are too powerful, although it gives my other elements the corrosive ability of the darkness element, it also continues eating me up.’ Quinn struck out another attack before trying to escape.

“Heh, like I’ll allow you run away,” Grey smirked after once again using a flurry of attacks to destroy Quinn’s attack.

He had already noticed although Quinn’s attack didn’t decline in terms of strength, his body looked more dried up.

Blocking Quinn’s escape route, he attacked him without hesitation.

Three minutes later.

Quinn was on his knees panting heavily, he didn’t have any strength left to keep himself standing.

“If you know you’re a true genius, allow me to recover and we’ll have a real battle with no one else intervening!” Quinn tried to rile Grey up.

“Hehehe, I’m actually a shameless genius,” Grey replied with a shy expression on his face.

“Accept your death!” He declared and attacked.

“It’s you! How is this pos…” Quinn’s speech was cut short.

His body fell lifelessly with his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness. The element Grey used in killing him was the water element, so he quickly realized Grey was the one who assaulted him, only, it was a little too late.

“*Sigh* It’s a shame we didn’t have a grand battle.” Grey shook his head and went to search the bag of Quinn which had fallen some distance away from his body.
