1156 Heading Further Into The Building
Grey, Alice, Reynolds, and Kyle opened their eyes almost simultaneously. Grey couldn’t help but look at them with a smile. Not just him, the others were also staring at the trio.
Gilbert was still stunned by Grey’s generosity towards his friends. The fact that someone could do something like this was still a shock to him. Comparing himself and Grey, he knew he was not on the same wavelength as Grey.
“Congratulations, you’ve successfully entered the Elemental Venerable Plane.” Grey said with a smile.
“It’s all thanks to you Grey, thank you.” Kyle said with respect. He had traveled with the group for a short time, so, just like the few present who hadn’t spent too long with Grey, he wasn’t too clear on his personality.
“It’s nothing.” Grey nodded before looking at those present, “We better get going. I don’t think my trip back would be peaceful, anyone want to join me?”
“Will someone try to kill us too?” Kluas asked.
“You’re with me, of course they would want to kill you.” Grey grinned.
“Great…” Klaus’ face fell, a few seconds later, a wide grin appeared on his face, “How can life be exciting without having someone try to kill you? Count me in.”
Gilbert couldn’t help but look at Klaus. When Klaus asked if people would try to kill them, he felt Klaus wouldn’t want to partake in such a dangerous journey. Who wouldv’ve thought Klaus was just as crazy as Grey. Thinking of it, the first time he met the group, they were trying to raid a necromancers camp, he didn’t expect less from people like them.
Alice and Reynolds had no issues with traveling with Grey, nor did Ellis. Kyle and Gilbert were the only ones left to make a decision if they wanted to travel with them or not.

Gilbert decided to follow them for the thrill of it. Although he didn’t want to put himself in any danger for others, Grey allowed him to take the item back for his father, so he at least owed Grey.
With everyone on the same page, the group set off on their return journey.
After getting the ultimate treasure in this place, the path to leave naturally opened up to everyone present.
The group left the place with ease. They didn’t appear in any other place than the building they used in entering the place. Now, not just the thrones were present, there was also a path that led further into the building.
Grey had always thought there was something else inside the building other than this secret space.
“Should we head in or go back?” He asked the group.
He naturally wanted to go in, but he knew he couldn’t make the decision for others so he asked first. If all of them disagreed, he would leave with them.
Klaus agreed, and so did Alice and Reynolds. Grey didn’t bother about Void and the bunny leader since they would go wherever he went.
Gilbert agreed to go too, but Ellis didn’t go with them. He came here with a young lady, and the young lady didn’t enter the secret realm with them, or maybe she did but he didn’t encounter her nor did the others since he had already asked them. So he opted to wait outside for her.
Grey didn’t have any problems with that since he would’ve done the same if he was in his position.
The group left, leaving Ellis alone in the building.
When they walked the path, there was nothing in sight other than the long hallway.
“What if there’s nothing special here?” Reynolds asked.
“We will leave. There’s no need to waste time.” Klaus replied matter-of-factly.
“No need wishing us bad, let’s see if we can get anything good from this place. There’s no way you can tell me there’s nothing good in this place.” Grey said.
Reynolds shrugged, not bothered with what Grey said.
“Oh, and if you see anyone from the Syphilis Faction, you know what to do.” Grey added.
The others smiled, Klaus in particular. He was annoyed by the fact that he was chased by them. Being a very vengeful person, he didn’t mind fighting with the entire Syphilis Faction, well, those within his power level, anyone above his level, he didn’t have any enmity with them.
The group continued walking into the place, and they soon got to the end and saw a door.
Klaus was originally the one in front, but then he paused and took a glance at Grey, “Open it.”
Grey darted him a glance, and Klaus gave a harmless smile.
‘I’m not as strong as you, why should I be the one in front?’ Klaus thought internally, looking at Grey in disdain for putting his friend in danger.
Grey couldn’t be bothered with Klaus and walked forward, thinking about it, he looked at Reynolds, “Why don’t you send your Elemental Warrior to do it?”
Although he wasn’t scared, he hadn’t completely recovered from the battle with the girl from the Heavenly Fate Faction. It can’t really be called a fight, it was more like a beating.
Reynolds chuckled and sent his Elemental Warrior to open the door. The moment the door opened up, the others who were on guard looked at it curiously, they heaved a sigh when they didn’t sense any form of attack, but the second the Elemental Warrior took a step past the door, a loud explosion rang out.
Grey’s expression turned dark and he couldn’t help but look at Klaus.
“How would I know it’s dangerous? Did I set up anything in my previous life?” Klaus asked with a snort.
Grey didn’t say anything and only watched on. The power of the attack was within the range of what the Elemental Warrior could handle, so he didn’t feel too bad.
The explosion soon died down and the group looked inside the room, there were a few people who were staring at the door. When they first saw the Elemental Warrior, they were taken aback, only after seeing the group behind did they understand what happened.
There were about fifteen people inside and Grey was only familiar with one of them, Conor from the Dawson Family.
“Grey, you made it here.” Conor said with a smile.
Grey walked over, “Naturally. How long have you been here?”
He was looking around and didn’t find anything of interest. There were a few items that were sealed, but compared to what he had collected, these didn’t seem to matter much.
“Not more than thirty minutes I think.” Conor replied, looking at Grey’s group, he said, “There are a few things of value here, want any?”
A few of the people present were from the Dawson Family and they have all heard of Lucas Dawson’s famous genius son. According to what they know, even the Gnome race were trying to kill him, this shows just how powerful he is and how much of a threat the Gnome race sees him.
Some of them didn’t get a good look at him when they just entered the place, so now some of them were studying him. The fact that he was in the Second stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane was something they didn’t think too highly of. If Grey had been in the Fourth or Fifth stage, they would’ve respected him, but they were basically in the same stage, why would they show a large respect for someone in the same stage, if not for the fact that he was the son of the legendary Lucas Dawson, they would’ve even spare him a glance.
Grey didn’t bother with them and focused his attention on the things around, he looked at those behind him and none of them was showing any interest in any of the things.
“You can have them, we will see if we can keep going.” Grey replied.
Those behind Conor heaved a sigh. Grey’s status in the Family should be even higher than that of Conor since he is the son of Lucas.
“That should be the way to get past here, but I’m not too sure on how to get past it.” Conor pointed at a large seal.
Grey studied the seal for some time, “Alright, thank you.”
He headed over with his friends after thanking Conor. The seal wasn’t as powerful as the array he had to get past before taking the inheritance a few hours ago. With enough time, he would be able to handle it.
Grey got to work as soon as he got there, first he studied the seal to figure out the best way to crack it, just as he was about to start, he heard the door open and this time, the force of the attack was stronger than what they experienced.
The person behind the door managed to block the attack and appeared before Grey. It was none other than the young lady from the Nether Faction.
“I see.” He muttered.
The attack that is unleashed by the defense mechanism on the door depends on strength of the person entering.
