Chapter 1228 Taught By A Drawing?
They continued staring at the painting, but Grey's eyes didn't leave a particular painting.
In this painting, a figure was sitting alone on a mountaintop. It looked ethereal as the figure blended with the environment. While staring, one would get the feeling that this figure wasn't there, but at the same time, it was as if this figure was larger than the mountain itself.
There was no movement from the figure, just sitting there as if it owns the world. From its casual sitting position, Grey felt his entire body rocked as he continued to stare hard at it.
Grey's figure waved slightly and it was like his consciousness was pulled out of his body and he appeared beside the figure, watching it sit there peacefully without doing anything.
The figure gave the feeling of sensing someone appear beside it and it turned to take a quick look at Grey. When their eyes met, Grey felt a lightning bolt down his spine, he was flabbergasted by what was happening.
All the figure did was glance at him, but his legs went soft and he almost fell to the ground. There was no need to say anything, he knew the figure painted here was a great person while still alive. What he couldn't wrap his head around was how they made it come to life, seemingly.
This wasn't his first time seeing a drawing, but this was the first time he was getting such a lifelike feeling from one. Both the figure in the drawing and the artist were two exceptional people while they were still present.
Grey didn't know much about the Chaos Battlefield, nevertheless, he felt the figure here must've been a godlike entity, if not, why would it have such elegance?
After some time, Grey was dragged out of the place his consciousness was dragged into.
He didn't know how long he was inside the drawing, nor did he care. The short exchange he had with the figure gave him a powerful technique that he didn't want to waste any time and immediately started practicing it. There's a possibility that this technique would be able to help him here.
Void and the bunny leader didn't get anything from the drawings, neither did Cori. Grey was the only one who got something and he immediately started practicing it after almost twenty minutes of staring at the drawing.
When they saw him in that state, they didn't bother with him and started to search the place, hoping to find something good. Of course, it wasn't that easy. Other than the drawings, the only thing present was the door to leave this place.
The room was quite large, around fifty square meters or so.
After almost thirty minutes, Grey opened his eyes, he heaved a sigh of relief before standing up.
"Finally, we can leave." Void said.
Grey smiled and stared at the drawing once again, he had gained from it. With a slight bow, he took the lead and the group left the room. There was nothing for him there.
After they left, the drawing of the figure he saw sitting on the mountaintop turned to look at where Grey sat. It looked at the spot for a few seconds, shook its head softly, and turned back.
If not for the fact that one could clearly see that it was a drawing, people would think that it was alive given its mannerisms. It gave off the feeling that it was well aware of the happenings outside the drawing.
….
Grey, Cori, Void, and the bunny leader appeared in another hallway, unlike the tunnel, this one had doors on multiple sides.
"Could it be that this is the main room but we were sent to another place the first time?" Void asked.
Grey shrugged, he didn't know how this place worked. He walked up to the first door and tried to get it open. To his surprise, it didn't budge. Even after using all his strength, the door refused to open. Just when he gave up, Cori walked close to it and it opened.
A confused look appeared on his face as he found what just happened to be odd. He stopped Cori from going in and the bunny leader and Void were sent ahead. They were both small and could hide from danger.
Void and the bunny leader didn't have any complaints, after going through the place, they called the duo over since it was safe.
Grey took Cori inside the room and his eyes nearly popped out.
This place was a bedroom, and it seemed to belong to a little girl. There were dolls in the place, but Grey was certain that each one of these toys was enough to make an entire city go to war. He could sense that they were each made from precious materials.
There were four in total, and all four had unique characteristics. When Grey got close to them, all four dolls started to enlarge.
Their strength was around a Fifth stage Elemental Venerable.
"They act as some sort of defense as well? Nice!"
Grey couldn't hide his impressed expression. It wasn't easy to create something like this, neither was it hard for him to take them down. He was too strong for them to begin with.
What he found more impressive was that the regenerating ability of the dolls was amazing. One of them which had almost half its body blasted was able to go back to its original state within a few minutes.
"I think these belong to you." He passed them on to Cori.
Cori took them and smiled happily, clearly pleased with having them.
They searched the room but didn't find anything else of value.
Since there was nothing to take, they left and continued searching the other rooms. Other than that room, there were still around fifty rooms, but the next twenty gave them nothing. Either they didn't find anything of use inside, or they were unable to access it.
The inaccessible rooms seemed to have been assigned to only open for certain people.
