"Try to stall them, I'll deal with the leader as quickly as I can," Ellis said before taking flight, heading towards the leader of the bandits.
Grey stared at the heads in front of him, he couldn't deny it, they were too many for him to handle, luckily, he had Void and the centipede. The reason they were able to control the centipede easily was Void's doing. For some reason, it listened to everything Void commanded it to do.
'Void, it's time to work your magic. With this thing's help, I should be able to at least deal with them for some time, but you're in charge of all the Late stage Elementalists,' Grey said to Void.
'Alright, lord cat will help you out. But, if there are any shiny things in our loot, I want first picks,' Void tried to negotiate a deal.
'Just get to work,' Grey didn't even think about his deal.
Void grumbled before jumping to the front of the centipede, "Help us kill these guys okay,"
The centipede nodded docilely.
After Ellis went after the leader of the bandits, the rest turned to look at Grey, seemingly waiting for what he wanted to do. There were over twenty Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalists here, and five or so that were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Grey was only at the Peak of the Origin Plane, while the centipede was a Mid stage Rank FIve magical beast, there was no way they could even defeat a regular Early stage Overlord Plane Elementalist in the bandit group, much less all of them.
They couldn't sense Void's stage so they didn't count him amongst their opponents. On seeing the centipede behave in such a docile manner towards Void, they found it a little strange but ultimately didn't think much of it.
A large explosion and heavy shaking caught the attention of everyone here. Looking in the direction Ellis and the bandit leader faced, they realized they had already started their battle, and from the first attack, they could see that their leader was on the back foot.
"You fools, what are you doing? Come here and help me take this brat down!" The bandit leader hollered when he noticed the young man in front of him was stronger than he was.
One of the men at the Peak of the Overlord Plane ordered, "You two, kill this brat and that stupid animal, the rest of you, with me,"
After giving out the order, the man charged in the direction of their leader.
Of the two men he sent after Grey, one was in the Late stage, while the other was in the Mid stages.
'Void,' Grey called out to Void.
'On it,' Void replied before disappearing.
Grey acted as if he didn't see the two men walking towards him, he stood on the head of the centipede, spreading both hands in the sky, with his eyes closed in total concentration.
When he opened them, they glowed with a mesmerizing pattern on them, before inscriptions started to appear mid-air.
Swoosh! Bang! Boom! Bam!
He attacked fiercely, making sure to stop the group in their tracks before they went after Ellis.
The man at the Peak of the Overlord Plane paused when he saw this attack, he turned around to look at the person who caused it, and seeing Grey's body language, he knew he was the one.
"Why's the brat still alive?" He asked coldly while looking around, trying to find the duo he sent to kill him.
His expression changed when he saw them lying in a pool of blood. What terrified him was that he didn't sense any attack, yet the duo was killed silently in the presence of so many people.
"Stay on guard, someone powerful is with the boy," He ordered while stopping his advances towards Ellis.
When Grey heard his words, he was a little taken aback, but he felt this was the best outcome. First, they wouldn't go after Ellis because of the fear of someone powerful killing them off. This would in turn give Ellis all the time he needed to kill the leader before coming after them.
The place continued shaking from the attacks of Ellis and the bandit leader, when they looked in that direction, they saw their leader sent flying, crashing deep into the walls.
"Come, we must help him," The man at the Peak of the Overlord Plane ordered once again.
He couldn't sit by and watch as their leader was about to be killed, he knew they would be next if he dies. Although there was a risk to turning their backs against a potentially powerful opponent who was hiding, they just couldn't sit still.
Grey attacked with the inscriptions once again, but the attacks were blocked by the men. They hurried forward, trying to distract Ellis.
Seeing how things were playing out, Void and Grey started attacking ferociously, they couldn't allow these guys to disturb Ellis.
Grey, riding the centipede charged into the crowd of people. He made sure the area he faced was occupied by those in the Mid stages and below. Void on the other hand started to pick out those in the Late stages one by one. Whenever he appeared, he would kill his unsuspecting victim.
Those at the Peak of the Overlord Plane soon realized what was happening, before quickly spreading out and informing the others about the Space Elementalist that was attacking them. They still had no idea that a cat was what had been killing their members.
Three of the bandits at The Peak of the Overlord Plane took some bandits with them while heading towards Ellis, while the remaining two stayed behind, accompanied by almost two hundred bandits in the Overlord Plane.
A brawl soon started, with a youth, a cat, and a centipede fighting against a large crowd.
The arrival of helpers balanced things on the side of the bandit leader and Ellis.
Attacks were flying around, with the ladies in the hall all running out for safety.
