Chapter 819 Getting Eliminated On The LastDay?

Keith was having one of the greatest shocks of his life. He was watching Grey hunting all the beasts that were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, alone.

Grey had been fighting the beasts on his own without even having to ask for help any time. What was worse was that Grey's attacks were too swift, and he seems to have a certain ability that increases the weight of the things around him. He didn't really know what this ability was, but he was sure that it was what makes the beasts he fights against fall over when he gets close to them.

It has been six hours since Grey decided to hunt for beast cores, and he couldn't say he wasn't amazed. Grey's abilities were definitely on par with those geniuses with Cyan elemental grades and higher. He had been fortunate to witness a genius with Cyan elemental grade, and the genius was just like Grey, too powerful for those in the same stage as himself.

Keith could most certainly bet with his life that Grey had a Cyan elemental grade. There's no way Grey was going to tell him it was lower and he would believe it. Another shocking thing he found out was that Grey's healing speed was unbelievable.

While Keith was still thinking about Grey's ability, Grey was focused on the last beast on his list. There were countless beasts here, and Grey was sure most of the people here collected at least fifty beast cores, even Kieth had over sixty. According to what he found out, most of the people here aren't too bothered about the stage of the beast, opting to go for quantity instead of quality.

For someone like Keith, killing magical beasts in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane was too easy. He could easily kill ten to twenty a single day. If Grey wanted to, he could kill over one hundred in a single day.

Thud!

The corpse of a giant snake slammed into the ground, it was dead.

This snake had white scales which sparkled even at night.

Grey was panting slightly from the battle, of all the beasts he had fought against, this snake was the trickiest one. But in the end, he still managed to kill it with a decisive blow.

He was still resting when he noticed a group walking out from the left. They were ten in total, and they were staring at Grey in shock.

They had been targeting this snake for some time now, and after finally coming up with a good plan after multiple failures, they saw Grey fighting against it. They initially wanted to help out and then force Grey to leave it to them, but on seeing that Grey was not doing badly against it, they decided to wait by the side and after the battle was over, they would step up.

Even if the snake won, it would be injured by Grey's attacks and grow weak. If Grey were to kill it, he would not be a hundred percent since he went through a tough battle with the snake. All in all, they would be the winners.

Keith noticed them and moved closer to Grey, looking at the group approaching them.

"Impressive." A young lady in the Ninth stage said as she walked over.

She seemed to be the leader of this group.

Grey didn't reply as he stared at her, he could see her eyes trailed on the corpse of the snake, seemingly checking to see if the core was still in place.

"What do you want?" Keith asked calmly.

He could already sense that they were up to no good, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. Besides, he knew Grey would have a way to fight against these people. With him here as well, he would never let them harm Grey.

"You watched him fight alone, how cowardly." The young lady said with a hateful tone.

She felt Keith was a coward who was only hanging around Grey because he was powerful. The thought of Grey wanting to fight against the beast on his own didn't even cross her mind. Who would want to fight against such a beast alone?

Keith wanted to speak but he held back, even if he told them it was Grey's wish, they wouldn't believe him.

The young lady looked at him in a demeaning manner before moving her gaze to Grey, her eyes paused on his face for some time, a little stunned by his handsomeness. She didn't want to admit it, but Grey was the most handsome guy she had ever seen.

"Since you took such an effort in killing this snake, we'll let you keep the corpse, all we want is the core." She said with a soft smile.

The corpse of this snake was quite expensive, and it could be used to exchange for things in the Faction after joining. According to what they know, they wouldn't be given the freedom to use all the techniques in the Faction, instead, they would have to earn points to exchange for a technique. Corpses of beasts like this could be used to exchange for a fair amount of points.

"Not interested, move aside." Grey replied coldly.

He had never been friendly with people who wanted to take advantage of him. To him, this group was his enemies. The fact that they waited until he had killed the snake showed their nature.

"Come on, you already made it to the last day, even successful at that. It would be a shame if you have to use your talisman in the end." A young man walked out from the group and said.

Why would anyone risk getting himself eliminated because of a single beast core? To them, it wasn't worth it.

Grey knew this as well, but there was no way he would let people ride on him. Given the effort he put in to defeat this snake, he wasn't even interested in leaving a scale for anyone, much less it's core.

When he heard the young man's threat, he smirked.

'I won't be the one using the talisman.' He thought to himself.
