Tricked

Grey's words dispelled the Old man's curiosity. It's normal for most Necromancers and even Gnomes to sacrifice their puppets whenever they are in a tough spot. As long as they could survive, they didn't care about the destruction of their puppets or not.

"I see, but that doesn't change the fact that I'll end your life here and now. Attacking the Fourth Prince is a taboo, and you will pay for it with your lives." The Old man said.

"I don't care what is a taboo or not, Old man, I'll kill him and there's nothing you can do about it." Grey laughed, riling the Old man up.

The Old man looked at Grey with dead eyes, his figure blurred as he charged at Grey.

Grey expected the Old man to react, so he moved quickly, using both the space element and the lightning element to create an illusion of escaping. The Old man paused and tried to pinpoint where Grey was headed.
