"You, why are you … here?"
Meryl looked at Gray with a pale face, despair rising in her heart. Having fought with Gray before, she naturally knew what the outcome would be if she encountered Gray in a one on one situation.
"Naturally, I'm waiting for you."
The corners of Gray's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes cold.
"No, don't kill me, I can submit to you …"
Meryl felt her entire body turn cold under Gray's cold gaze, cold air continuously seeping into her body.
"First, answer a few questions of mine."
Gray did not comment on Meryl's pleas for mercy.
"What questions?"
Meryl could tell from Gray's words that Gray had the intention of letting her go. Her despairing heart was immediately filled with hope, and she hurriedly asked.
"What kind of world is behind this world barrier?"
Gray pointed at the world barrier not far away.
"It's a world tens of millions of times larger than this plane. We call it the Origin World."
Speaking of the Origin World, Meryl could not help but feel proud. Being born in the Origin World was a sense of superiority that many born in the Origin World had.
However, when she thought of her current situation, she immediately felt dejected. Compared to him, he was more like a native born in the Origin World, while she was more like a native born in the Origin World.
"Tens of millions of times larger?"
Gray was slightly surprised. Although the world they were in could not be considered large, it definitely could not be called small either. How vast would a world tens of millions of times larger than this one be?
Gray asked after some thought.
"You call our world a plane, and your world a world. Is there any difference?"
"Yes, the two are different. There are many planes, but there is only one world, and that is the Source World. In fact, all planes are born from the Source World. They rely on the Source World to exist. All planes are connected to the Source World."
A native of the Origin World had actually become a native's prisoner. Meryl suppressed the sullenness in her heart and replied.
"Planes are born from the Origin World and exist by relying on the Origin World …"
Gray digested the information Meryl had given him. Although he had guessed from the actions of the fifth organization that it was very likely to come from a world of a higher level than this one, he had never thought that it would be such a 'higher' world. The world they were in was actually only a subsidiary of the fifth organization's world.
His breathing was heavy, which was caused by the excitement in his heart. Knowing that such a huge world existed, he suddenly felt a sense of longing. At this moment, he could already feel the feelings of those King level cultivators who had been trapped in this world until their deaths.
"You should have an organization behind you, what is the name of the organization?"
Gray asked as he looked at Meryl after calming himself down.
He had destroyed the fifth faction's blood sacrifice and even killed three of them. He must have formed an irreconcilable grudge with the faction behind the fifth faction. What he needed to do now was to understand this faction and be on guard against their revenge.
"We belong to the Radiant Temple …"
"The Radiant Saint Hall?"
Gray slowly repeated the name of the organization, trying to understand it from the name. Gray could sense something extraordinary from the name. An organization that dared to use the name 'Radiant Saint Hall' probably had quite the background.
He said with a deep voice.
"Tell me the strength of the Radiant Saint Hall in detail."
"Yes …"
As Meryl explained, Gray's face gradually became stern. It could even be described as heavy.
He understood from a simple understanding that the strength of the organization behind her was not something he could contend against right now. Compared to the organization behind her, he could only be described as' weak '.
To give a simple example, a Magic Light level existence was already a peak existence in this plane. But in the other party's faction, they could barely reach the upper echelons. Above them were existences of even higher realms. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the faction behind the other party was.
Although he had already guessed that the organization behind her would not be weak from the unknown grade of the magical weapon, he had never thought that it would be so powerful.
To the current him, the organization behind her was basically a colossus. It was an existence that he could not defeat no matter what.
The only fortunate thing was that due to the unique laws of this plane, the first level of Magic Light was the limit of descent. Existences at or above the level of Magic Light were unable to descend to this plane, or any one of them would be enough to kill him.
"I've told you everything you want to know. Let me go, and I can rely on you."
Meryl looked at Gray hopefully.
Her chest jiggled slightly, revealing her full curves. The beauty mark at the corner of her mouth gave her a unique charm that made people want to conquer her.
"I'm sorry, but I can't keep you here."
Gray shook his head slightly. His eyes were cold and indifferent. He did not take Meryl's coquettish actions seriously.
He was a normal person, so he obviously pursued 'beautiful things'. However, when he thought about how she was old enough to be his grandmother's grandmother, he lost all interest.
"You, you, didn't you just say … you'll let me go if I answer your question?"
Meryl's face was contorted in anger, her eyes spitting fire as she glared at Gray.
"I didn't make such a promise."
Gray had a mocking look on his face. He had indeed not made any promises. He had only cleverly used his tone to mislead her into thinking that he would let her go if she answered his question.
"You'll die a horrible death!"
The golden blade shadows attacked Gray one after another. Meryl, whose face had turned ashen from anger, retreated hastily.
Unfortunately, even though she retreated quickly, Gray was even faster. Even without using Berserk to increase his speed, Gray's speed was still above hers.
Whoosh!
Shrouded in purple light, Gray dodged the blurs of the golden blades and chased after Meryl at a speed even faster than she did.
In just a few moments, he had already caught up to Meryl. A purple light rippled out from his body and swept towards Meryl.
Whoosh!
Meryl dodged in fear, but Gray was too close to her when he attacked. She could not block or dodge in time.
Weng!
Her body was enveloped in purple light, and in an instant, she felt as if hundreds of years had passed. She then discovered to her horror that her originally beautiful hair was gradually losing its luster, and her originally taut skin was slowly loosening.
* Pata! *
The purple light disappeared, and her appearance had changed from that of a pretty girl to that of a woman in her fifties. The crow's feet on her face were clearly visible.
"No, no …"
She screamed in fear and despair. She was frightened by her lost appearance and despaired of the fate that awaited her.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Under the threat of death, she found her courage and looked at Gray with hatred. The golden blades activated, and a golden light slashed towards Gray.
* Swish! *
In response, Gray merely twisted his body and dodged the golden blades. The purple light attacked her from another direction.
Weng!
As expected, Meryl was once again enveloped in purple light. Her appearance and body aged at a rate visible to the naked eye. When the purple light disappeared, she had become a hunchbacked, white-haired old woman.
* Peng! *
The old woman fell from the sky and crashed onto the icy ground. She struggled to stand up, but after several attempts, she was unable to do so. Instead, the hand that she had raised fell powerlessly, not moving at all.
"She's already dead!"
Gray went up, and after confirming that she was dead, he was finally at ease.
Gray did not dare to accept her surrender, because a Magic Light level existence was not something he could control. The slightest carelessness could cause him to suffer a backlash.
If she escaped back to the origin world and exposed the situation here, the situation would be very disadvantageous. As such, Gray did not hesitate to kill her, leaving no room for negotiation.
He found the runic portal bag on her body, and then picked up the five golden blades from before.
Gray checked the other party's Runic Portal Bag. There were quite a few magic coins, some magic potions, and some books. They were all quite valuable.
Gray then looked at the golden blade without a handle. From the power displayed when she used it, it seemed that the golden blade did not increase her battle prowess at all. It seemed to be an ordinary silver weapon that could not increase the battle prowess of a Magic Light level existence.
However, Gray had accidentally learned from Meryl that it was a gold weapon. Not only was it a gold blade, but Derrick and Chaucer's blades and Faust's sword were also gold weapons.
Of course, they were not gold weapons under normal circumstances. Instead, they were gold weapons that had been suppressed by the laws and had completely lost the ability to increase battle prowess.
"Not only can it suppress outsiders, but it can also suppress foreign magic weapons!"
The laws of this world did not only suppress outsiders, but also foreign magic weapons. When the four of them came to this world, the magic weapons they carried with them were also suppressed by the laws of this world.
However, although they were suppressed, as long as they left this world, the suppression of the four magic weapons would naturally be lifted, and they would become gold weapons again. However, the four of them would never have the chance to do so.
"Looks like we won't be leaving this world anytime soon!"
After tidying up the spoils, Gray looked at the world barrier leading to the origin world. There was a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
Originally, he wanted to visit the origin world when he had the time, but now it seemed that he would not be able to leave this world anytime soon.
The desert behind the world barrier had already been secretly occupied by the Radiant Saint Palace. No one could leave or sneak in. If they tried to leave, it would be no different from suicide.
"I need to send someone to guard this place!"
The danger of the blood skill had been reduced, but there was now a powerful enemy called the Radiant Saint Palace. This made his heart feel rather heavy.
In the short term, the Radiant Saint Palace probably would not discover that Derrick and the others were dead. However, as time went on, they would definitely notice and send someone over.
He needed to send someone to guard this place, and the person guarding it could not be weak. It would be best if they could match Magic Light in battle prowess.
Although their strength would be suppressed because they had arrived in this world, their defenses were still there. If the person guarding it was too weak, they would not be able to do anything to the enemy.
