Chapter 470: Start Of A New Journey
“How good are you at lying?” Void suddenly spoke up.
Grey was a little taken aback when he saw Void butting in into the conversation.
“Yeah, you have a plan?” Klaus’ reply came shortly after the question.
“Of course, since the Principal was bathing, there’s no way he would’ve seen you destroying the building, why don’t you say you were having a battle with someone?” Void suggested.
“Oh, that might actually work.” Klaus replied, “I don’t know who you are, but I suddenly like you. Wait, who are you again?”
Klaus could tell Grey wasn’t the one speaking, so he wanted to confirm who it was.
“It’s Void,” Void replied.
“Come on, stop joking. Void is a magical beast, and besides, he’s still in an unconscious state,” Klaus immediately refuted.
He hadn’t seen any magical beast speaking before, so there was no way he would believe Void was the one speaking.
“It really is Void, Klaus. He woke up yesterday and started talking,” Grey said.
Even he knew it wouldn’t be easy to convince Klaus since he wasn’t here with them.
“Wow! Amazing! Void, quick, say something else,” Klaus yelled excitedly.
Grey was stunned at how quickly Klaus was able to accept the fact that Void could talk. He was even thinking of ways to convince him, who knew he would immediately accept it?
“Uh… hello?” Void said, a little confused.
“Good, now, can you come over? I have a mega job, and I can’t do it without you,” Klaus said, completely forgetting about the fact that he was surrounded and would be beaten soon.
“Aren’t you forgetting your current situation?” Grey asked hopelessly.
“Don’t worry, I’m currently hiding deep in an underground tunnel I accidentally found, it would take a few more minutes before they can find me. Void, what do you say? Me, you, a large haul just waiting for us to take it,” Klaus continued speaking to Void.
“I think this is where we stop the communication, I also need to speak with the others. I’ll be going on a journey to a place where I can’t communicate with you guys, I only wanted to let you know before leaving so you won’t be worried,” Grey said, halting any of Klaus’ plans of getting Void to steal something.
“But, but… wait, you’re leaving? And there’s no way to communicate with you?” Klaus wanted to argue with Grey before he processed what Grey said.
“Correct,” Grey nodded.
“Where are you going?” Klaus asked hastily.
“Well, I don’t really know how to describe it yet, but I think my parents are there. Don’t worry, I won’t stay for long, once I’ve seen the place, I’ll come over to take you guys along,” Grey explained.
“Damn you! Take me with you if you’re going to someplace new,” Klaus yelled.
“No, first of all, I have no knowledge of this place, secondly, given your track record, you’re bound to get us in trouble. I’m still thinking of how to keep Void in order, if you’re added to the mix then we’ll die within a few hours,” Grey refused, making sure to tell him the reason for his refusal.
“Bullshit!”
Klaus and Void said simultaneously.
“See,” Grey said, using this as a confirmation of their behavior.
“Fine, but make sure you don’t die,” Klaus said after finally deciding to agree with him.
“Do I look like someone who walks around causing trouble?” Grey asked.
“Of course, have you seen your face? A damsel is bound to fall in love with you, and her suitors are bound to hate you,” Klaus said while laughing.
“He does have a point,” Void replied while scrutinizing Grey’s face.
“That’s why I always wear a mask. Alright, that’s all, goodbye,” Grey quickly ended the communication.
If he didn’t do this, Klaus would continue talking for the rest of the day, and he wouldn’t be able to speak to the others in time. He wanted to make sure he got to the new place before nightfall.
After ending the communication with Klaus, he spoke with Alice and then Reynolds, telling them of his journey. He didn’t forget to tell them Void was fine once again which brought a little bit of joy to the duo who were sad after finding out that he was leaving.
…..
“Alright, that’s that. We should get going,” Grey said while keeping the communication device.
Void nodded before jumping onto his shoulder.
Grey walked towards the middle of the mansion, carefully distributing the essence stones in the areas Ellis placed them. He was both excited and nervous at the same time. But he felt more excited than nervous. His blood was boiling when he thought of the new challenge he would face there.
After seeing Ellis, he was sure that people his age were already in the Overlord Plane there. There’s even a chance of some being above the Overlord Plane. Just the thought of this was sending fire all over his body, he wanted to go there fast, he wanted to start training again.
“There’s nothing worth staying here for anymore, if I can’t find my parents there, then I will make sure I train to become the most powerful Elementalist there. I’ll come back and search the entire Azure continent for them, if I still don’t see them, then I’ll turn the world upside down,” Grey said resolutely.
He didn’t even flinch when saying this, he was oozing with utmost confidence.
“That’s the spirit, come on let’s go dominate!” Void said excitedly, he didn’t want peace, he never had. As long as there was something going on, he was satisfied.
Grey smirked before placing the last piece of stone in the array and slowly walking back to the middle of the array.
The array soon lit up, enveloping both Grey and Void. After a few minutes, the duo was nowhere to be seen.
A figure soon appeared from the Void, staring at the array.
“*Sigh* The young lord’s journey is about to start, I don’t think I will be of much help there. I need to go back and inform Milady about this before she finds out herself,” The figure said.
It was none other than the old man who was protecting Grey. Although, he couldn’t really say he did much since he allowed him to go through multiple perilous encounters. But without those encounters, there was no way Grey would be who he was today.
