Grey instantly turned around vigilantly to see if the beast was behind him just like the last time when it silently appeared behind him, but to his surprise, when he turned around, he didn't see anything.

'Where could it be?' He thought looking around the lab.

'Can you sense it?' Grey turned to Void for help.

Over the past two months they had spent together, he had come to know that Void's senses were sharper than his, so asking him in a situation like this was the only thing he could think of.

'No.' Void shook his head.

Grey's heart dropped on hearing this, if even Void couldn't sense the beast, doesn't this mean that the beast could appear and attack them without them knowing where it would appear?

'We need to leave this place.' Grey said, but he didn't immediately rush to the tunnel.

He could tell the beast was intelligent, and would definitely not allow him to leave so easily.

'Why are beasts so unreasonable?' He couldn't help but complain.

'What do you mean by that?' Void asked, clearly displeased by Grey's statement.

He was a beast after all, so cursing all beast was the same as cursing at him.

'Can you explain why it's attacking us? If that's not unreasonable, then what is?!' asked Grey.

All they did was come into this place, other than collecting the blade, and that glass tube that contained the strange lizard, he didn't take anything else, yet, the beast wanted to kill him. Could it get any more unreasonable?

'We trespassed into its territory.' replied Void.

'Oh! Why didn't it put a 'do not trespass sign' so we would know?' Grey asked mockingly.

'Because...'

'I don't have time to argue with you, after we've left this place, then we'll talk.' Grey cut him short, ending the argument.

He was currently too preoccupied with trying to stay alive, maybe after passing through this hurdle, he might bring this topic up once again.

Grey stayed in the same position for almost two minutes, after not seeing or sensing the beast, he decided it was time to make a move. If he could slowly push forward, then leaving this place would become easier for him.

'How can something so big appear and disappear so easily?' He asked himself while carefully walking towards the tunnel.

When he came here the first time, he remembered carefully looking around the lab, yet he didn't find any living thing, there were only four rooms in the lab, which he also checked. How come he didn't see the quasi dragon in any of them?

Swoosh!

Grey heard the sound of the wind and quickly turned around, only to see nothing. His heart was racing faster than it was usually due to anxiety, he quickly created an earth armor, so in case the quasi dragon attacked him unexpectedly, he would at least have a little defense up.

He was actually calmer when the quasi dragon was previously attacking him, than how, when he couldn't find it. At least then he knew where the attack was coming from and could prepare accordingly, but now, he was like a blind man.

'Be prepared to attack.' He said to Void.

Void was just as anxious as he was, with his space element blocked, his greatest reliance when it came to escape was gone.

The duo continued forward while staying in full alert mode. Whenever they heard any sound, they would instantly turn in that direction. What was worse was that the previously quiet lab suddenly turned noisy to them, and they could hear noises from different places.

While the duo was getting closer to the tunnel, a tail was slowly slithering like a snake towards them. Even in their full alert mode, they couldn't sense it still. This didn't mean their senses were weak, it's just, their opponent is not only stronger but was also an expert in hiding.

When the duo got to the entrance of the tunnel, Grey swiftly turned around, carefully observing the lab once more, but he still couldn't see the quasi dragon.

He turned around and assumed there was a possibility it had left the lab and was waiting for them in the tunnel, besides, none of the skeletons they found was in the lab anyway.

The moment he turned around, three meters before him, the tail of the quasi dragon suddenly appeared once again and moved towards Grey faster.

Just as Grey created a fire in the tunnel.

"Huh!" He exclaimed unconsciously.

He suddenly felt something wrap around his right leg, he looked below him and was shocked to see the tail of the quasi dragon around his leg. Before he could do anything, he felt a strong pull, and he fell face first.

He quickly used his hand as support so he wouldn't hit his face on the ground. Just as he got to the ground, he was dragged by the tail towards where the creature previously was and suspended mid-air, upside down.

While struggling, he saw a scene that sent a chill down his spine.

"Camouflage." He muttered underneath his breath.

Now he knew the reason they couldn't find the creature previously, it could camouflage perfectly with its surroundings. That wasn't its only ability, it looks like the tail of the quasi dragon was also extendable.

'But, why didn't it attack me the first time I entered this place? Why wait till now?' He asked himself puzzled by the quasi dragon's ways.

The quasi dragon growled softly and slowly opened its mouth.

When Grey saw the red light forming on it, all his hairs stood on end and without thinking, he created a huge hammer with the earth element, coat it with lightning, and swung it at the head of the quasi dragon.

Bam!

The hammer hit the quasi dragon a second before it unleashed its fire, because of the hit, its head shifted to the side and its fire missed Grey.

Grey heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, had he been slow in reacting, then the quasi dragon would have lit him up!

"Attack!" Grey yelled at Void who just got to where they were.

Buzz!

Lightning was already dancing around Void's body when Grey was still saying this, giving him a strange but mythical appearance due to his black color.

Creak!

Void sent a huge bolt of lightning at the quasi dragon just after Grey's words died down.

Bam!

The lightning bolt crashed into the body of the quasi dragon. It staggered when the attack hit it, still grabbing onto Grey.

Grey who was already aiming an attack towards the tail holding onto him felt his head suddenly spin.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The quasi dragon first slammed him on the right, then the left, and then the right again before spinning him three times and throwing him in the direction of the wall.

Bang!

Grey's body crashed into the wall, creating a crevice in it.

Thud!

His body fell from the wall.

'What just happened?'

This was the question reverberating through the muddled head of Grey.

He could still feel his head spinning from the quick swing he got from the quasi dragon, and his body was aching. He managed to muster a little strength and supported himself with his hands.

The moment he got into a kneeling position, he felt the metallic taste of blood in his mouth.

Splat!

He couldn't hold it in and vomited a mouthful of blood.
