Chapter 4196
F*ck!
When he saw Oliver turn to leave, the sight filled Grunt with rage. The anger in his heart climbed by the second.
'So, that legless b*stard is not going to help me?'
If he did not join the fiend race, it meant that he would not have anyone supporting him. Eventually, the Nine Heaven Emperor would catch up to him.
No, he could not go down like that.
Grunt's face ashen. With a jerk, he stood upright.
The next second, a ripple of energy exploded from Grunt's body like lightning, zig-zagging through the air in Oliver's direction.
Grunt had thought it through. Since Oliver could not help, there was nothing to do but take him down.
'You!"
Sensing the movement from behind him, Oliver froze in shock. He turned as he realized what Grunt was doing, and he could hardly contain his anger. ''Grunt, what are you trying to do?"
Grunt was too cunning, attacking him from behind.
"Oliver."
Grunt smiled slightly, unable to control the rage and loss of sanity. "To think that I treated you with such sincerity, only for you not to help me at all. Don't say I was not nice to you."
The final word rang through the air as Grunt gained speed, bringing a palm down.
"Scared, are we?"
Oliver grew enraged by the second. He tried to dodge, but his legs were artificial limbs that hindered him from moving-there was no way he could
run.
The blow landed heavily on Oliver's body. With a dull hum, Oliver's body jerked, and he stumbled backward a good number of steps. At last, he landed against a tree, finally halting him.
Grunt had not used his full strength. If he had, Oliver would be dead for sure.
"You!"
Oliver leaned against the tree, and his blood boiled as he glowered at Grunt in indignant fury. "Are you going to kill me for not introducing you to them? Killing me will not do you any good."
As he spoke, Oliver felt anger and panic in his heart.
He would never have guessed that Grunt would be so ruthless. They had been allies, after all —and he had just lashed out like that.
At the same time, he was also suspicious.
Oliver knew that Grunt's blow was not one with full force, or he would have lost his life as soon as it landed on him.
Did Grunt want to teach him a lesson?
Oliver scrambled to say, "General Grunt, I've honestly got close to no power in the fiend race, or I would help you without hesitation. How about I return and find a chance to bring your name upto Archfiend Antigonus. What do you think of that?"
The last thing Oliver wanted was to give in to Grunt. Yet if he did not, he would be dead."
Grunt smirked condescendingly. "Save it, Oliver. You never intended to help me. Why the pretense?"
Grunt's gaze shone with mockery. "I've thought about it. Since you aren't going to help me, I'll have no choice but to replace your position in the fiend race."
"I'm sure you know of the forbidden spell in the Imperial Sky Palace called the Complete Takeover. It allows me to destroy all your spiritual consciousness, then put my spiritual consciousness and fairy soul into
your body. When that happens, I'll become you, and no one would know.
"You are missing a pair of legs, but your body still works.
