Chapter 631 - The Day Of The Execution

Void soon formulated a plan to deal with the two old men. He opened up another space tunnel a few meters away from where he was, and when their attention was attracted to it, he left where he was hiding, opening a spatial tunnel close to the tomb. The second he appeared there, he vanished again, appearing in eight different positions in a matter of a second.

At the time he did all this, the two old men just noticed the spatial tunnel he opened up close to where he was hiding.

They exchanged glances as a hint of confusion appeared on their faces. If it was like before when Void would only appear in a particular spot, they could track him down, but now, in a matter of a second, over eight auras of a spatial tunnel appeared. There was no way they could know which of them was the real one, all they knew was that the one here was the first one opened up, which meant the person had left already.

"This skill is admirable, it allows one to travel so quickly. However, they made an obvious mistake," The old man said coldly.

"Underestimating us brothers," The old man's twin said with a smile.

The two brothers started to make a series of rapid hand seals, and before long, they threw what looked like an inscription, but it was on a large scale into the air.

The array shot into the sky, before spreading out in all directions, encompassing the entire compound.

Void was left stunned by it, not sure of how to react. His initial plan was to steal the crown on the Emperor's head, but he knew that with this array in the sky, the second he appeared would be the moment he was caught.

'Forget it, I'll take it later. These two are enough for now,' He sighed before hiding in the separate space he made there.

The two old men exchanged glances before laughing out.

"We know you're still here. If you come out now, we can forgive what you did, as long as you tell us where you learned this skill of yours," The old man said with a cold smile.

After setting up this array, they were able to find out that the last place Void teleported to was back here. The fact that he tried to use this to trick them was a little confusing, but since Void didn't take the chance to escape, they were not going to give him the opportunity any longer.

Void sneered when he heard their words. He wasn't that stupid to believe their words. According to Grey, the troops will be arriving soon, so he could wait patiently here for them.

….

Grey and his friends saw the array that shot into the air through the window, luckily, Klaus had already kept the throne in his storage ring when Grey told them of the two old men who could slightly sense the space element.

The only reason they didn't pick up the aura was that unlike Void who was opening up spatial tunnels, theirs was transporting an item to a separate space. But with the array that was presently active, the old men will be able to sense them.

"Hehe, looks like Void's not having a great time," Grey chuckled when he saw the situation.

With this thing active, he was certain that Void wouldn't be able to move freely with the space element. If Void knew a skill like the one Grey got his hands on back in the trial land, the Great Void Technique, then he would've been able to escape out of the Capital if he wanted to.

Grey still couldn't use the technique properly, but if he were to enter the Fusion State, then he wouldn't have any problems with using it. One thing he noticed when he enters the Fusion State is that his mastery over all his elements is heightened to a shocking level that even he couldn't believe.

The thought of trying to comprehend the light element when he uses the Fusion State has crossed his mind, but he couldn't just carelessly use it since it was a trump card he couldn't activate willy-nilly. If he were to use it now, and then got into a difficult situation within a week, he couldn't use it, or else he might risk damaging himself.

The only good thing he noticed was that with the increase of his Plane, the interval between when he could use it had been shortened. Not only that, but he could stay in that state a little longer than before.

After waiting for over two hours with Void staying inside the separate space, the old men could only leave in dejection to plan out their counterattack against the Azure Empire, and also the Blue Wind Empire.

The array was left active, that way, if Void were to step out, he would be instantly noticed by it.

The technique the necromancers used was something that these old men were heavily interested in. In fact, they believed there might be a way to upgrade it, that way, they wouldn't die from old age, instead, they would use it to prolong their lives.

Other than them, no one else knew of their plan, well, except for Grey and his friends who found out thanks to Void.

That day soon came to an end, and the next day arrived.

The news of Grey and his friends being captured had already spread out in the entire Capital. That was not the only news, but their would-be execution was also all around the Capital.

Old man Gerald was left worried when he heard of it. The Principal as well as Instructor Blake and Delia also couldn't help but worry.

They were amongst the first people who arrived at the venue where the execution was going to take place.

It was the same place where the competition took place almost two years ago, the arena in the Capital.
