Chapter 544: Tension Between Swords

Klein sighed softly in his heart. It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to communicate with the other party using normal methods.

He had originally wanted to point out the other party’s identity. It would be best if they could resolve this peacefully.

He didn’t expect that these few words would ignite the other party’s anger. The two of them once again became at daggers drawn.

Gray seemed to be shocked as well. He didn’t know Klein’s exact identity, but this high-level spell that could destroy the world was shocking.

He opened his arms again and soared into the air. Thunder rumbled above his head,

He seemed to be able to turn the lightning into his own power and use it completely for himself.

Klein frowned. It seemed like this person’s lightning magic had indeed reached the peak of perfection.

Even if he was close to a tier 10 spell, he had to rely on the surrounding power before launching an attack.

However, Gray didn’t need to. He seemed to be able to turn a cloud into a rain with a flip of his hand. He could instantly create a sky full of lightning, and the entire space was filled with lightning and thunder.

Klein was a little angry. Why was this person so unethical?

In fact, Klein knew a lot of the legends about Gray.

Although being expelled from the country was indeed a grievance, they were all from the same hometown after all. Why did he have to help the enemy?

At that moment, Klein gathered the wood elements once again and used powerful wood magic to form a powerful barrier in the entire space.

Not only was the barrier unable to conduct electricity, it was even sturdier than before. It wasn’t something that could be split open by a single bolt of lightning.

The entire space was instantly filled with lightning and thunder. James frowned and couldn’t help but cover his ears with his hands.

He could feel the sound of the thunder tearing through his eardrums. It was already too much for him to accept.

As for Klein, he remained unmoved. He opened his arms and formed a hugging posture.

James was also a little impressed by Klein. He could always come up with a plan to turn the tide at a critical moment.

The thunder stopped. James had long expected the miserable state of the barrier being torn apart.

But when he looked up again, he saw that the barrier was still standing there peacefully,

Although it was riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse, it was still standing. It was too strong!

James widened his eyes in shock and instantly reacted.

This piece of wood couldn’t be so sturdy. It must be because Klein had used his own strength as support that allowed him to last for so long,

Klein had actually exploded in an instant, and the level of the energy spells he released had increased exponentially!

Gray seemed to be very shocked as well. He was very confident in his lightning-type spells. He knew that there was absolutely no one in the world who could withstand his full set of lightning.

But not only did he withstand it, he was even in a similar state…

Gray frowned slightly. “Who are you? How do you know about what happened to me before, and how are you so powerful?!”

Klein had actually suffered quite a blow as well. He focused all his strength on the wooden wall, causing his feet to float.

The energy seemed to be slowly extracted from his body, but it couldn’t be seen by the other party.

He could only let out a sigh of relief. He tried his best to make his words and actions look the same as usual.

“I’ve already said it to you before. I don’t have any special identity. I’m just an ordinary adventurer. The reason why I know some things about you is because in that space, you’re a person who is often talked about in the streets and alleys!”

Gray frowned slightly. He didn’t expect that after leaving that place for so long, he would still be known by so many people. It seemed like he was definitely left with a bad reputation.

“Those people always use this method to hurt the people who once saved them. It’s precisely this point that makes my heart turn cold…”

Klein shook his head gently. That wasn’t the case.

Klein looked at Gray and said, “A lot of people now look regretful and depressed when they talk about you. They feel that their actions have failed to live up to your deep friendship. They are truly sorry for you. If you are still willing to come back, they will welcome you with the highest courtesy!”

Upon hearing this, Gray’s eyes widened, and the shock on his face was very obvious.

“What did you say? Who can accept me? That’s impossible. You don’t have to lie to me by saying such things!”

Klein shook his head. “I won’t lie to anyone in this lifetime. Everything I say is true and believable. If that doesn’t work, you can ask this friend of mine.”

James was confused. Although he had indeed heard of all sorts of people, he didn’t know the specifics.

He expected Klein to lie in order to calm him down, so James nodded.

In fact, Klein knew Gray very well. It was said that he had been a famous figure twenty years ago, famous for his lightning magic.

He had once engaged in a protracted battle with a giant demon that had been born from space.

In the end, he had completely annihilated the demon. He was a great hero in the hearts of the people.

However, for some unknown reason, after he had annihilated the demon, Gray’s personality had also undergone a great change.

Some people said that it was because he had been invaded and affected by the demon’s aura. There were also people who thought that it was the lightning-type spell that Gray himself had cultivated that had affected his mind.

In short, he had become bloodthirsty and ruthless. Finally, one night, he committed an unforgivable crime.

He massacred more than half of the people in that space, causing a storm of blood.

This was a very sensational matter twenty years ago.

From then on, Gray became synonymous with the devil. Many warriors made a move, wanting to kill him completely.

Knowing that the isolation was caused by a huge mistake, Gray couldn’t stay in that place. In the end, he mysteriously disappeared and vanished.

As for why James didn’t know about Gray, Klein was also quite curious.

But what Gray didn’t believe was that he had indeed made a huge mistake back then and owed a huge debt of blood.

There were still many people who hated him to the bone. How could they suddenly forgive his crimes and treat him as a hero?

No, it felt like Klein was still fooling him!

In fact, Klein wasn’t fooling him. Although there was no conclusive conclusion regarding Gray’s matter, many people felt that there was something fishy about what happened back then.

Gray didn’t do what he wanted to do.

Klein sighed softly. “It doesn’t matter what I say. You can believe it or not, but there’s no doubt that I know a lot about your past. And now, a very important partner of mine has been captured by Demon King Saxe. I’m here to rescue this partner of mine. I don’t want to make an enemy out of anyone!”

Perhaps it was because Klein’s words reminded Gray of his youth.

He had once been a young man who worked hard together and scoffed at all evil. But now, his current state made him feel inferior.
