Chapter 231: Conspiracy (1/2)
”Elder Byron, someone at the Tree-Stage appeared!” Gravis immediately sent with his ring.
”What? That's the leader of the Greens! I am pretty close because I was worried about you. Try to stall for time! I have a contingency plan!” came the urgent voice of Elder Byron.
There was nothing Gravis could do now except stall for time. He was utterly spent, and even if he weren't, he still wouldn't have a chance against someone at the Tree Stage.
”This has been a fair fight! Why do you involve yourself?” Gravis shouted.
The man narrowed his eyes, but his eyes wandered towards Gravis' right hand. Then, he pointed towards Gravis' right hand. ”There is no fairness in this world! You have attacked my disciple, so it is only just that I will get involved!” the person shouted.
Gravis was a little confused about the elder pointing to his right arm while saying this. Just like the others, the elder wore a green cloak. He hadn't taken out his weapon yet, but Gravis was sure that he would also use a long sword.
”Do you feel no shame to save your disciple when he has lost in a fair fight!?” Gravis shouted aggressively.
The elder moved his hand in a cutting motion, and a wave of sword force appeared that shot right at Gravis' right hand. Gravis quickly pulled it back, evading the slash.
”It doesn't matter!” the person shouted, pointing at Gravis' right arm again with more fervor. ”You Greys think yourself better than us, but I will prove that the Greens are the only ones worthy of taking over this weak world!”
BANG SHING!
The elder got pushed forward violently by sword force and then cut at Gravis' right arm again. Gravis sidestepped the attack barely, but part of his thumb was cut off. ”Why are you point at my right arm!?” Gravis shouted.
The person pointed more violently at Gravis' right arm and shot more crescents. None of them targeted Gravis directly as they all shot towards his right arm. Then, the person stomped the ground violently and shouted into the surroundings. ”We will prove that we are the only worthy ones!”
Manuel, who had regained control over his body by now, now also looked at Gravis' right arm. Then, Manuel charged forward. Manuel barely raised his sword with his nearly destroyed hands and attacked Gravis' right hand, for some reason. Gravis wanted to retrieve his hand, but his arm suddenly got gripped by the new person's mighty hand, immobilizing it.
SHING!
Manuel cut off Gravis' right hand and then summoned wind to fly away again. Gravis kicked the new person away, distancing himself. Then, he immediately used the remaining Energy inside his body to fully heal himself. Gravis then quickly turned back to the person, but his eyes widened in shock.
The person no longer wore a green cloak. Instead, he wore green robes that were indicative of the Wind Sect. On top of that, his eyes no longer showed rage but were looking seriously at Gravis. 'Also, has Manuel just used wind to fly away? Where was his sword force?'
”Can you see clearly now?” the person asked with a solemn voice.
Gravis was confused. He looked around and saw that Manuel and the elder were also wearing the same green robes as the new person. Those were the robes of the Wind Sect! What the hell was going on?
”What?” Gravis asked involuntarily in confusion.
SHING!
The head of the new, green-robed person left his body as two daggers cut through his neck, decapitating him. Gravis' confusion and shock grew. The other two people were also staring in shock at what just happened.
