Chapter 248 - Unexpected Change II

"Hmm," Grey looked at the spinning wheel that was coming in their direction.

The wheel was only around the size of a human head, having a greenish color.

"Shit! Klaus!" He called when he sensed the power that the wheel contained.

Klaus didn't need to ask any questions since he already understood Grey, without any delays, he spread out both arms in front of him, creating an ice sphere that he used to trap the spinning wheel.

Boom!

An explosion rang out from the sphere as multiple small wind blades could be seen trying to burst out from the sphere, but with the hardness of Klaus' ice ability, it was impossible given its current strength.

"Oh! They're good." The young man with ember hair said indifferently.

The twins attacked after Klaus blocked the young man's attack, they were both Water Elementalists. The one with blue eyes created a water storm that she sent towards Klaus, while the one with green eyes pointed forward and a water screen appeared mid-air. Water arrows came out of the water screen, shooting straight at Grey and his friends nonstop.

"Hmph!" Klaus snorted arrogantly when he saw the water storm coming towards them.

'Done.' Grey thought to himself as two symbols lit up in the sky.

Klaus was currently the one doing most of the defending against the mayor's guests, Grey, Alice, and Reynolds were trying to get rid of the guards. Individually, the guards weren't a problem, but collectively, Grey regarded them as threats.

If they could remove the guards from the scene, then escaping would be easier. Presently, after their last massacre, the guards numbered at about fifty now.

Void suddenly appeared on Grey's shoulder, 'No need to worry about reinforcements anymore, once this wave is whipped out, we are clear to go.'

Grey nodded and immediately attacked with his inscriptions. When he realized that the mayor's guests were progressively getting stronger than what they initially portrayed, he quickly devised a plan. Although the mayor and his guests were the strongest people among their opponents, they couldn't stop them with their current strength. But the guards though, could. Not because of their strength, but by their sheer numbers.

Grey could neglect their attacks given his insane physical abilities, but the others couldn't. This was why he sent Void to make sure no more guards came this way. If they wanted to escape, then the guards had to be removed first.

Bam! Bang!

Grey wasn't the only one attacking the remaining guards, Reynolds ' Elemental Warrior was casually cutting them down, Alice's large-scale attacks were immobilizing them, while even Void who recently came back started killing them as well.

Klaus was the one tasked with defending the attacks from the mayor's guests, given his superior defensive ability. His ice wall has currently grown stronger than Grey's earth wall.

"They're trying to remove the guards so they can escape." One of the elderly men said.

"Impressive strategy." The second elderly man praised.

If he was met with the same circ.u.mstances, he would chose to also flee instead of fighting, especially after seeing that the strength of his opponents was increasingly improving.

"Oh! An inscriber. These youths just keep on giving us reasons to make sure they don't escape." said one of the men with brown hair when he saw the symbols attacking.

"This Water Elementalist is different from the others I've seen. His ice ability is far superior to anyone I've ever seen." The chubby lady commented on Klaus' ice ability.

Thirteen Second stage Origin Plane Elementalists were simultaneously attacking, and yet, Klaus was single-handedly defending against them. Although they had destroyed his ice walls a couple of times, it was still very impressive, to say the least.

Bang!

The ice wall crumbled once again which forced Klaus to retreat, but he was stopped by a hand place on his back.

Grey who was standing behind him looked at the attacks that were raining towards them after the ice wall was destroyed, he quickly created an earth wall but supported it with an ice wall since he knew his earth wall wouldn't be able to block the attacks.

"Aren't you guys done yet?" Klaus asked, he was the one facing the strongest attacks, so unlike the others, he was feeling pressured.

"Soon, try to hold them off for another minute." Grey said before turning back to continue attacking the guards.

Within a minute since he formed the inscriptions, they had already killed or injured at least thirty people. If they continued at that speed, then they should be done in a minute. The guards aren't even able to put up a fight against them, they couldn't even block a single attack.

"Damn it! We should've just left after taking the wine." Klaus complained, but once again started blocking the attacks of all thirteen people.

The mayor was currently standing behind his guests, there was nothing he could do in a battle like this.

Klaus who just started defending again cursed his bad luck when he noticed their attacks were getting stronger.

"Why are they getting stronger? Why the hell are they getting stronger?!" He almost wanted to start crying.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be, after stealing the coins, they would escape. Now, because they were nosy, they discovered something shocking and were being attacked because of it. Had they just left after obtaining the coins, none of this would have happened.

Grey took a peek at Klaus who was currently scrambling left and right to try to block the attacks from their opponents.

"You guys deal with this quickly, I'll help him." He turned around and started attacking the people from the Azure empire with his inscriptions, while also assisting Klaus to defend against their attacks.

Whoosh!

A huge wind blade cut through Grey's earth wall, slashing at the group.

"Shit! They've reached the Third stage."
