Chapter 151: Unfortunate Group



Chapter 151: Unfortunate Group

‘Come on Void, return it.’ Grey pleaded while dodging another attack.

Boom!

The lightning struck a tree ahead of them, creating a hole in it.

‘No, I want it.’ Void refused once again.

‘Shit! At this rate, either they catch up, or we run into the territory of a far stronger beast.’ Grey cursed.

‘Don’t worry, they can’t catch up.’ Void comforted.

‘Of course, I’m worried! Why wouldn’t I be worried?! I’m being chased by a horde of Horned Lightning Apes! Is that something not to be worried about?’ Grey asked a couple of questions in quick successions.

The five Purple Horned Lightning Apes were around the Fourth to the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane, while the Silver Horned Lightning Apes were around the First to Third stage.

How could he fight against them? Fighting against them was nothing more than suicide!

If he met either one of the five Purple Horned Lightning Apes alone, then he would be able to deal with it. Other than the one in the Sixth stage, the others weren’t much of a problem. Even that one in the Sixth stage wasn’t much of a problem, only, it would require more of an effort compared to the rest.

Roar!

The leading Purple Horned Lightning Ape roared and sent out another attack.

Swoosh!

The lightning bolt shot through the air aiming for Grey who was a couple of meters away.

Sensing the attack coming his way, Grey jumped up dodging the attack. Missing its target, the lightning continued its journey forward. It struck a tree ten meters away.

Bang!

Split!

After being hit by the lightning, the tree split into two horizontally, with the larger part falling in the direction Grey was coming from.

“Damn it!” Grey cursed when he saw the tree falling towards him at a fast speed.

With no other option, he dodged to the side as fast as he could, but that slight delay allowed the strongest one of the Purple Horned Lightning Apes to shorten the gap between them to a mere three meters.

Realizing that the strongest Ape had closed the gap between them, Grey was forced to send out a fireball while running. Stopping to fight it was stupid, all he could do was delay it with his attack, so he could gain more ground.

The horn on the head of the Purple Horned Lightning Ape lit up when it saw the fireball Grey sent its way before it sent out a lightning ball that crashed into the fireball Grey sent its way.

Boom!

Both attacks collided sending out a huge shockwave.

Grey being ahead of it was a little more fortunate as the shockwave did nothing other than pushing him a couple of meters forward. The Ape on the other hand had to slow down to protect itself from the blast. Although its defense was strong, it could be injured by a blast this powerful.

‘Phew’ Grey breathed out heavily when he saw he had managed to distance himself from the Ape once again.

‘You’re attacking next time.’ He said to Void.

‘Okay.’ Void nodded.

He knew if he rejected to do this, then Grey would definitely search for a way to throw him out.

Roar!

The Purple Horned Lightning Ape roared angrily when it saw that the distance it had managed to close down, was increased further than the previous time.

With red eyes, it charged towards the human and the cat. For it, since Void was with Grey, then they were together, and all it wanted to do to them was to pound them till they turned into a meat paste.

The other Purple Horned Lightning Apes caught up with the first one, while the Silver Horned Lightning Apes was just a few meters away.

The Apes continued their chase, while Grey and Void ran like their lives depended on it. Well, Grey was the one doing all the running, all Void was doing was lying around leisurely. After being given the task of attacking by Grey, he would occasionally send out attacks whenever he notices the Apes were getting closer.

This further increased the rage of the Apes, they all felt the cat was a hateful creature. Once they catch up to them, they’ll make sure the cat suffers more. After pounding it into a meat paste, they’ll burn the meat paste with their lightning. They wanted the cat to die with no remains, if they were given an opportunity, not even its ashes would be left.

If Void were to find out about the plans the Apes had for him, he’ll laugh it up while cursing at their entire ancestry. Did they think they’ll ever catch them?

Some distance away from where the chase was currently taking place, a group of youths could be seen together, they all had sour expressions with a few having minor injuries.

“How can we be so unlucky? This is the sixth time this week we have been attacked by those mongrels.” One of the youths complained with frustration very evident in his voice.

“Yeah I know, it’s like they’re toying with us.” Another one said through gritted teeth.

“Hmph! Only a fool would leave an enemy alive. I’ll have my revenge, surely.” A more composed youth amongst them said.

The others looked at him and nodded. This group was none other than the Twelfth Prince’s group. After that battle when Alan and Damian saved them, they had managed to keep all their members alive and had been having a pretty good time.

The Twelfth Prince had broken through to the Third stage of the Origin Plane, not just him, but two others have also broken through to that stage, one of them was Neil, while the other was also a student from the Royal Academy.

After facing multiple challenges and coming out on top of most of them, they felt pretty great. They had even eliminated a few youths from the Azure empire, but their luck ran out when they accidentally crossed paths with a group from the Azure empire which had two youths in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane.

Not just that, but there were also three in the Third stage, making life hard for the Twelfth Prince’s group.

For the past one week, the group from the Azure empire had been tormenting them by attacking them repeatedly. What was more frustrating was that they were stronger than the Twelfth Prince’s group, yet, they hadn’t killed any of them, rather, they would show up unexpectedly and launch an attack on them.

Being stronger and more prepared, they always gained the upper hand in the battles and would leave right after hurting a few of the people in the Twelfth Prince’s group. It was like the Twelfth Prince’s group were their entertainment, and once they were bored, they would attack.

On numerous occasions, after being attacked, the Twelfth Prince’s had tried escaping, but no matter where they go, the group from the Azure empire still ends up finding them.

They all felt the group was following them closely.

Rustle!

“Who’s there?” Neil turned towards the direction the noise came from while preparing to attack.

He was currently very edgy because of what he had gone through during the week. Not just him, but the others were just as tense as he was.

Going through something like this could make almost anyone lose their cool. What made matters worse was that they did not know if the next time the group from the Azure empire attacked, they’d take their lives. So none of them were calm, not even the Twelfth Prince.

They felt like prisoners that could be executed at any given time.

“Hehe, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about us so soon. I mean, we only left a couple of minutes ago, so it’s impossible that you’ve forgotten about us.” A peal of playful laughter rang out from behind a tree twelve meters away, and a youth almost two meters tall walked out, with others following behind him.

The Twelfth Prince’s group was currently in an open field that had grasses half a meter tall, it was almost impossible to see the ground because of the grass.

“Haha, maybe we hit them too hard and messed up their heads.” A youth following behind the first youth laughed out loud, making those around him laugh as well.

“Oh! If that’s the case, why don’t we beat them again? That should be able to rearrange their heads, right?” A crisp voice belonging to a young lady sounded out.

The moment the Twelfth Prince and his group heard the voice of the young lady, they shivered uncontrollably. To them, the voice didn’t belong to a young lady, but a demon. But, they couldn’t help but be grateful to this demon.

Had it not been for her suggesting they had fun with them, then her group would have already killed them by now. Even though being toyed with isn’t fun, it was better than being dead. Living one more day meant, there was still hope for them to escape their present predicament.
