Chapter 1231  A Deal With The Voice

"How are we going to get to him?" The son of the Dawson Family Head asked, irritated by the creatures.

They might be stronger than the creatures individually, but with the collective number of the creatures, they were at a disadvantage. They could barely keep the area around them safe since the creatures were just too much.

The likes of Grey, the golden robed man, the son of the Dawson Family Head, and the others in the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane had been the ones who took up most of the workload, the others were just trying to make sure they were alive.

The man Grey accused could not be removed from the picture as well. He was stronger than a regular Eighth stage Elemental Venerable. His strength was equal to someone who had just broken through to the Ninth stage.

"Who knows which path that guy took?" The golden robed man asked after sending another batch of creatures back.

The others shook their heads, none of them knew which path this man took. Apparently, of the group he went with, he was the only one that they can confirm is alive, the rest of them could be presumed dead or still in search of treasures.

The group all exchanged glances when they saw that there was no way to find this person.

The voice was still yelling angrily. It was very obvious that the coffin was something that was quite important to the voice. The voice might just be a remnant piece of consciousness, but it was very upset with the man who picked up the coffin.

The others were unfortunately facing the brunt of the anger.

"We aren't the ones who took it. Let us go and make him drop it."

Grey suddenly spoke up. Since the voice could feel anger, he felt there might be a chance that he could reason with it. As long as it could be reasoned with, then they would be in a good position. For now, they had to face the brutal attacks of the creatures.

Grey had even used his inscriptions to fight off the creatures. Four inscriptions surrounded Cori, forcing back any creature that goes close to her. He couldn't always be close to protect her, and he was still hoping to keep Void and the bunny leader hidden, after all, there's a good chance that they might take a few things from a few people here.

First off, he didn't like the man the phantom attached itself to, and he saw that he had a good item. The treasure wasn't all that important to him, but it would be good for Klaus, and he wanted it.

Most of the treasures he had been acquiring were for his friends. Klaus was the only one he rarely got anything for, the reason being that it was Klaus. Of all his friends, Klaus was the luckiest, even without his help, Klaus would grow at a frightening speed.

Reynolds was still good, Alice as well, but getting them treasures to boost their strength wasn't a bad thing. There was still Keith, Ellis, and even Cori who was here with him.

He wanted to make sure everyone associated with him grew stronger. For some reason, he could feel that there was unrest, even while in the Chaos Battlefield, he felt the unrest more intensely. From the few things he had heard, he guessed it had something to do with the Gnomes, but he wasn't a hundred percent certain.

The others looked at him as if he were a fool, none of them thought of even reasoning with the voice because all it had said so far was to drop it.

The main reason Grey attempted to communicate with it was simple, it showed them the coffin and who took it. He felt the consciousness saw them dropping their items and felt it needed to clarify what needed to be dropped.

Just as some of them were about to speak up, they heard the voice once again.

"Help me retrieve it and you would be rewarded."

Shock appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Before Grey could say anything, he felt a powerful suction force, and without hesitation, he grabbed Cori. There was no way he would leave without Cori. Void and the bunny leader could fend for themselves. Of course, the duo would never let him go without following.

They all vanished from the spot. The creatures didn't stop attacking the others who wore flabbergasted expressions.

"He can do that?" The son of the Dawson Family Head was shocked by Grey's intuition.

The golden robed man and a few felt aggrieved that they weren't the ones that were transported out of this place. Fighting against these creatures and fighting against just one person were two different things and most of them in the Ninth stage would prefer the latter rather than the former.

They were still fighting when Grey appeared on the screen.

….

On a large tunnel, Grey appeared in front of the man who was running with the coffin.

"Stop, drop it." Grey said calmly.

The man paused when he saw a figure appear in front of him. Seeing that it was Grey who was in the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, he snorted in disgust.

"Get out of my way kid, I'm not going to say it again."

"You don't understand, you can't leave this place even if I decide to leave you." Grey wasn't pressured by the man.

"Heh! You think it would send you to stop me if it knew I wouldn't be able to leave?" The man said mockingly before adding, with the coffin firmly on his shoulder he said, "This is the key, with it, I can't only leave, but I can return whenever I want."

"Oh, that was unexpected." Grey was taken aback when he heard this.

"Let's leave together kid, I will give you some treasures. I know you're strong, but do you really think you can win against me?" The man asked.

"It promised me a reward, I don't know what it is, but it would most definitely be better than whatever you have to offer." Grey replied, he looked at the man and his eyes turned cold, "Drop the coffin and leave."
