Chapter 1172  Reacting To The Chaos Energy Eruption

Grey stayed quiet for a few minutes before asking, 'So when is the next eruption of the chaos energy?'

'According to what I've heard, we're in luck. It should be within the next two weeks. All you have to do is stay hidden till then. Void and myself don't have to bother about being seen, you on the other hand, will be in some trouble if caught.' The bunny leader explained.

Grey nodded and decided to stay in the city until the chaos energy erupted. Staying outside the city would be safer, but he wanted to plan his escape while studying the city and seeing the best paths to take. Not just that, but he wanted to see if he could find the location of the strongest people around.

Void quickly left with the bunny leader while Grey started to work in the shadows. He was also setting up an array around the tree, a large array that would isolate this place from the rest of the city. If his plan was successful, he should be able to take the fruit and leave without any mishaps.

He soon got to find the first Rank Seven Magical Beast in the City. This beast was staying in the largest building in the city, it was well decorated with golden statues around it.

He hadn't seen the beast yet, but from what he sensed, he noticed it was most likely an Elephant. All the statues outside were of Elephants and even the few weaker beasts that had left the place were Elephants, and they were treated with respect wherever they went.

After a few more days, he sneaked into the place, found the strongest beast in the area was an old Elephant that seemed to be on death's door.

When he saw the Elephant, he couldn't help but shake his head. The Elephant was in the Early stages of the Seventh Rank and even with its long lifespan, seems to be coming to the end of its life.

Grey didn't bother with it. He wandered around the building in search of anything that might be valuable to him. He saw a few things, which he marked and left. His main objective is getting the fruit, if by any chance his presence was found out by the Elephant, it might increase the security around the City, and might even call others over for help.

Over the next few days, all Grey was seeing was a large influx of beasts coming to the area. And they seemed to be preparing for an occasion. He later found out that one of the Elephants is getting married.

Grey didn't bother with them and went on with his plans, he only felt annoyed when he found out that the occasion was going to be held at the spot where the golden fruit was located.

Not just that, but he had sensed the presence of two more Rank Seven Magical Beasts, both on the same stage as the Elephant residing in the City.

….

The City which was originally filled with activities was quiet in some areas as almost all the residents had moved to the side where the ceremony would be held.

Today was the day, and from the reddish sky, one could see what looked like a broken vein.

Grey, Void, and the bunny leader were hiding at the side, looking at the place with a cold gaze.

'What now?' Void asked.

'We're taking it, even if twenty more Rank Seven Beasts come.' Grey said resolutely.

'I know, I'm talking about cooking the big guy.' Void pointed at the Rank Seven Elephant that was entertaining its guests.

Grey darted him a glance before replying, 'Don't worry about that. The fruit first, if it foolishly chases us, we'll cook it.'

'That means we're cooking it then. The fruit is what it's using as a gift to the family the beast getting married to its daughter is from.' The bunny leader said with a smile.

It too wanted to see how good the Elephant would taste.

'No wonder it decided to host the party here. Unfortunately for it, I want that thing.' Grey had been wondering why of all places, the Rank Seven Elephant picked this place to host an occasion, it was now that he understood. It was to show its child's suitor such a stunning treasure.

The time slowly went by and the sky started to show signs of cracking, the vein that was in the sky was wriggling like a giant snake and before Grey could get a good view of it, it exploded out with a powerful red energy that fell from the sky.

The moment this happened, Grey felt like he was being suffocated. At first, he found it hard to breathe, and then his body started to feel to heavy for him and was weighing him down.

While he was going through this, his chaos s.p.a.ce started to show signs of collapsing as well. The chaos...o...b..shook and started to spin rapidly. This time, it did something Grey never expected, the amount of chaos energy his body was absorbing started to increase, he could feel his body getting worse, but the chaos...o...b..didn't seem to want to stop. Like a starving beast, it started to suck all of the chaos energy around Grey. It didn't stop there, it continued sucking all the energy around them.

The commotion soon attracted the attention of everyone in that area. Grey tried to stop it but he found out that the more he tried to stop it, the faster it started to absorb energy.

….

In his chaos s.p.a.ce.

If Grey was inside, he would've been stunned beyond words.

A ma.s.sive change was taking place in the chaos s.p.a.ce at the moment. It seemed to be creating something above the temple. A large red sun appeared in the sky above the temple and all the energy that was being absorbed rushed to the red sun.

Inside the sun, a rough undecerning shape could be seen. It appeared for only a second before disappearing.

The sun started to grow larger and larger as Grey's body absorbed more chaos energy.

….

In the outside world.

Grey was unable to move his body, it felt like all the weight in the world had come cras.h.i.+ng down on him and he couldn't even raise a finger, much less leave this place.

He was soon surrounded by the beasts in the area, however, none of them dared to get too close to him. Even though they had stayed in the world all their lives, this was the most chaos energy they had seen before. The area around Grey was currently a dangerous place to be, even Void and the bunny leader had left there the moment Grey started to show signs of abnormalities. It's not that they didn't want to help, but getting close to Grey would only kill them, and do nothing else.

The beasts from all over looked at Grey, not getting close to him, just watching in curiosity.

The Rank Seven Elephant walked over, when it saw Grey, it looked at him for a while before speaking to the Bull by its side, "A human, I haven't seen one in a few years. I thought they stopped coming here?"

The Bull, just like the Elephant was also a Rank Seven Beast, "I've seen a few lately, but like always, we've always gone our separate ways. I wonder what this one is doing here."

"It's obviously here for the same reason as everyone else, the fruit. It wants it." A Peac.o.c.k said.

The Peac.o.c.k was the third Rank Seven Beast. It was invited to the occasion as well. The Bull was the family the Elephant's daughter is marrying into.

"Humph! They always feel like they own everything." The Bull snorted coldly.

"It's only trying to advance. We've raided a few places and taken things that didn't belong to us, so it is quite normal." The Elephant was calm and collected, "What I'm more concerned about is what's happening with it, and why is it still alive?"

"Yeah, with the large amount of chaos energy it has absorbed, it should be dead. Even all three of us can not contain that much." The Peac.o.c.k said thoughtfully.

"We should watch it. Once it's done, maybe we can uncover a few secrets from it." The Bull suggested.

The others nodded in agreement to its words.

Grey was still in pain and his body was starting to show signs of falling apart. He never expected something like this would happen to him. What was worse was that he was certain that the commotion it would cause would attract the attention of the beasts around.

In his current state, he was unaware of what was happening around him. After enduring a few more minutes of pain, it slowly started to subside.

He opened his eyes a minute later and saw that he was surrounded by all the beasts that were there for the occasion.
