Chapter 1594: Testing His New Strength

The battle raged on. Klaus has been able to cause serious injuries to the Gnome he was fighting who was on the verge of finally breaking down.

"Your Highness, help me!" The Gnome screamed for help. He couldn't keep up with Klaus' attacks any longer. His puppet has been shattered after being frozen solid by Klaus' ice elemental technique. One of his arms was shaking from the intense cold and had gone pale.

The Fourth Prince was having a good battle with Reynolds with none of them coming out on top even after a few minutes.

The Fourth Prince took a glance at Klaus and the man, just as Klaus was about to deal a heavy blow to the man, the Fourth Prince's puppet appeared and blocked the attack. Klaus' attack wasn't something to joke with as he was able to send the puppet flying back, with parts of its body showing signs of being frozen.

The Fourth Prince looked at the duo with a suspicious gaze. Klaus and Reynolds were showing abilities known to be synonymous with Klaus and Reynolds, Grey Dawson's friends. He has come across them once, but he didn't have the time to access them due to Grey being present. They caused a lot of mayhem that day before escaping right in front of him. There was nothing he could do to stop them.

'Impossible, there's in the God's tomb. There's no way to exit it.' The Fourth Prince couldn't accept that this was Klaus or Reynolds. They were seen entering the God's tomb, and the exit was sealed so no one could leave.

'Such striking similarities. Where did these guys come from?'

The Fourth Prince has done his research on Grey and his friends and knew that one of them was genius when it comes to using the ice ability of the water element, while another was great with the lightning element.

That could be attached to Klaus and Reynolds who were present.

'Wait…'

The Fourth Prince recalled something important as he thought about Grey and his friends.

'They are four, three guys and one girl. He recruited four First stage Sovereigns, three guys, one girl.'

It soon clicked in the head of the Fourth Prince. Grey and his friends were in the Gnome world. Reynolds' armor was enough for him to confirm his thought process.

'How could this be?' He was dumbstruck. The guts the group had to sneak into the Gnome world was nothing less than shocking. No one would dare to step into the Gnome world without being a Necromancer, especially one that is wanted dead.

'This is bad, where are the rest? I better call for help now.'

The eyes of the Fourth Prince moved around the place as he didn't show any signs that he had figured out their identity. There was no way he could speak with anyone, but there was a way to signal for help. There was someone in the kingdom that could help me deal with the group.

"Little brother, stop them right now. If it continues, I'll not take it easy with you after dealing with them." He said to the Seventh Prince calmly.

He has managed to not only stop Reynolds, but Klaus as well. But he knew there was no way he would be able to fight with Reynolds without the help of his puppet. However, the second he calls back his puppet, the man fighting with Klaus was as good as dead.

The Seventh Prince looked at his brother and laughed, "You wouldn't need my help to stop them if you could deal with them."

The face of the Fourth Prince showed anger, but he didn't react and said, "I do not want to go all-out, but if you force my hand, then you and them will regret your actions. Father isn't here to save you from my wrath once I'm done with them."

"I don't need father's help to deal with you. Don't worry, take them down. If you can, I will agree to whatever you ask of me." The Seventh Prince was confident, and he has every reason to, after all, it was Grey that was speaking through him.

The Fourth Prince snorted, all he needed to do was to delay them for at least ten to fifteen seconds. He called for help, and the person would arrive there within the next few seconds. He was confident that he could hold both Klaus and Reynolds back on his own before help arrived.

His expression turned serious as he attacked the duo, taking the initiative.

….

Grey looked in the direction of the kingdom.

'No wonder he's confident. Unfortunately for him, that person will never get here.'

Grey told Alice to watch them while he went out to stop the help the Fourth Prince called for.

Alice didn't have any issues with not being involved in the battle. There was no need for her to fight, so she was good with helping make sure no one escapes.

….

In the sky.

An Old Gnome stopped mid-air, he looked at the void ahead of him with furrowed brows.

Grey stepped out of the void and took a glance at the old man who wasn't able to stand straight any longer.

"Sir, I don't think your services will be needed any further." Grey said respectfully.

"Young one, you're talented, don't make me end your life so soon." The Old Gnome said with a raspy voice.

"You don't have to worry about ending my life." Grey looked at the man with a smile, even without using the help of being able to break the link, he was confident that he could take on someone in the Fourth stage of the Sovereign Plane with his Second stage cultivation level.

The Old Gnome looked at Grey with a cold expression, "You're part of the kids the Seventh Prince brought in, correct?"

"You're well informed." Grey replied.

"I heard you survived a blow from that clown from the First Prince's camp." The Old Gnome said.

"It isn't something to be proud of."
