Chapter 593 - Believe Me Now?

"Doing this will only make things worse between you and the Emperor," The Mayor said after Grey caught up to him high up in the sky.

"He's already trying to kill me, things can't get worse. This is literally the peak right now," Grey shrugged.

"You might be using a secret technique to improve your strength, but all I need to do is hang on until the time elapses and you're finished," The Mayor said.

"Do you really think you can last that long?" Grey asked curiously.

"I believe in my abilities," The Mayor replied.

"Cool," Grey didn't say anything else.

Naturally, he didn't have all the time in the world, so he had to act quick.

Swoosh! Buzz! Bang!

A lightning bow appeared, on it was notched a silver lightning bow that shot out instantly.

The speed of the arrow was mind blowing. This attack was as fast as the attack the young man who attacked him at that ruin used.

Even after breaking through to the Overlord Plane, Grey wasn't too confident in his ability to dodge that attack. But with the aid of the Fusion State, he didn't have any problems with dodging it.

He soon disappeared from where the attack wanted to hit.

Due to his speed, he left an afterimage there which the arrow went through before it started to quickly fade.

He appeared on the left side of the Mayor, sending out a stream of fire.

Boom!

The Mayor retaliated with a large lightning bolt which caused a huge explosion in the sky, blasting the clouds away from where they were fighting.

Bang! Boom! Swoosh! Buzz!

They continued exchanging blows, and as expected, Grey was on the front foot.

The Mayor continued his offensive even though he was on the back foot.

With every attack, he was pushed back by Grey's seemingly insurmountable strength.

….

A few kilometers away from Frost City.

While Grey and the others were still fighting with the Instructors.

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky above an empty field.

It was an old lady with white hair and wearing a white gown.

"Hmm, how did I get here?" She questioned as she looked around.

A small shadow suddenly came to view.

'That cat, what's it doing here too?' A look of incredulity appeared on her face.

"The prince!" She suddenly exclaimed, recalling what was happening before she appeared here.

Even though she found her appearance here odd, she focused on getting back to Prince Casper first. From what she sensed, he must be in trouble since a large-scale battle was taking place where he was getting married.

She flew in the direction of the city disappearing from view.

Void, who was laying casually on a tree didn't even try to make any efforts to stop her, he only watched on as she flew away.

A few seconds later, a figure appeared above the field again. It was none other than that of the old lady.

"What's going on?" She asked, looking around suspiciously.

Other than the small black cat she saw lying on a tree, she couldn't see or sense anything else.

She soon flew off again, heading in the direction of the city. But a few seconds later, she would appear in the field once again.

When she appeared for the third time, she decided to take another route. She headed in the opposite direction, away from the city. But in a few seconds time, she once again appeared in the empty field. At exactly the same spot.

"What is going on?" She asked again, looking around.

This was the strangest technique she had ever witnessed or experienced. She couldn't sense anything, yet she keeps getting teleported to the same location.

She tried once again, but the result was the same. She tried again, and again, and again. However, no matter which direction she faced, she would appear back at the field again.

"Who are you? Come out now! I'm Overlord Gale. You must have heard of me," The old lady announced her name in a bid to scare whoever was doing this.

She made a name for herself hundreds of years ago, but she was still regarded very highly by the people of the Qilin Empire. Even till this very day, her name still struck fear in the hearts of her opponents.

From her perspective, she felt whoever was doing this wasn't powerful, that was why they resulted to such underhanded tactics in keeping her here. But she had to admit it was quite an impressive feat to create something like this.

"Oh, you're tired of trying? And I thought I could rest a little longer," Void's childlike voice entered the old lady's ears.

"Who are you? Show yourself," The old lady said calmly.

"I'm not hiding now, am I?" Void asked oddly.

He was literally lying on the tree closest to the field, and he had sensed the old lady's gaze a few times. So hearing her say he should show himself, he was taken aback.

"I don't have time for games. The Fifth Prince is in danger, and the Emperor will not take it likely with whoever you are if the prince were to face any danger as a result of your actions," The old lady warned.

"Do I look like someone who is scared of the Emperor?" Void asked.

"Come out, with this ability of yours the Emperor would like to make you an ally," The old lady offered.

"*Sigh* Look down," Void finally gave up and said, when he saw the lady looking in her direction, "Over here,"

He stood up from his lying position, staring straight in the eyes of the old lady.

"Nice try, but there's no way a cat can speak nor be the one behind something like this," The old lady scoffed when she saw Void.

"Old lady, didn't you see me in the city before you appeared here?" Void asked rudely.

The old lady paused when she saw how Void's lips were moving along with the sound of every word.

"Impossible," She muttered when she realized Void was really the one talking.

"Believe me now?" Void asked.
