Chapter 453: Will It Be Enough?



Chapter 453: Will It Be Enough?

Jonas and the three young men outside walked into the tent.

Grey stared at them, he could sense animosity from two of the young men. This made him increase his vigilance, he prepared him, waiting to explode with a powerful attack if the two guys made any suspicious moves towards him.

“It’s good to see you’re fine,” Jonas commented as he walked in.

“Yeah, I was lucky I crashed into you guys, if it were to be others, even if they didn’t try to kill me, they’d leave me out there,” Grey said.

“If he didn’t recognize you, there was no way we would’ve helped a stranger who fell from the sky in such a strange way,” The young man close to Jonas said while looking at Grey suspiciously.

What he found strange about Grey’s appearance wasn’t that he fell from the sky, but it was how he fell. He came out of what looked like a crack, a dark terrifying crack. Even if the crack didn’t stay for long, they all saw it.

Grey squinted his eyes, looking at the young man with his listless eyes.

The young man who was about to speak again took a step back unconsciously. Grey’s gaze terrified him, it was like he was staring at the death reaper.

Jonas looked at his friend before shaking his head. He couldn’t hide the fact that he was curious about how Grey appeared but asking him immediately after he woke up wasn’t the best choice, especially when two of them were showing such hostility. The duo wasn’t even trying to hide it.

“So, when did you come to the Magical Beasts’ forest?” Jonas asked, trying to calm the tension in the tent.

“The next day after we met,” Grey replied, after a while, he asked, “How long was I out?”

“Not long, just a night,” The young lady in the group replied.

“Hmm, okay,” Grey nodded before keeping his mouth shut.

He had no more interest in speaking, especially with these two staring at him like predators. It was like they were waiting for him to make a small mistake so that they would be able to attack him with a valid reason.

“You should rest a little longer,” Jonas said before turning around to leave.

His friend followed behind him, as well as the young lady.

The duo who were staring at Grey with hostility were the ones left in the tent, still staring at Grey.

“You look familiar,” One of the duo spoke up while staring at Grey.

Grey’s robe was destroyed, and because Jonas picked him up quickly when he crashed into them, they didn’t get a good view of his face, but now that they saw him, they couldn’t help but find him familiar.

“Oh really?” Grey asked, compared to his somewhat surprised words, his facial expression and tone remained as apathetic as ever.

“Yes, but… that’s not what I’m really concerned about,” The young man asked.

Grey looked at him, not even bothering to continue to speak with him. He felt if he answered him, then he was entertaining him to continue speaking. If he kept quiet, then the young man would know when to leave.

The young man looked unbothered with how Grey stopped speaking with him and asked, “What was that crack you fell from,”

“Huh?” For the first time, a different expression appeared on Grey’s face, and it was one of confusion.

“You fell from a crack that suddenly appeared in the sky. There’s no way you can deny it, every single one of us saw it,” The young man said.

“A crack?” Grey asked, still wearing the same confused expression.

Of course he knew what they were talking about, but there was no way he would agree to it. He would rather argue with the duo than agree to it. If he were to agree to this, then word would definitely spread out. He was already in enough trouble from being hunted down by the emperor, if every single big family out there started to look for him because he could use an unknown form of movement, he didn’t know how to respond to it.

“You fell from a crack in the sky!” The young man said, starting to get annoyed by Grey’s feigned ignorance.

He felt Grey knew what he was talking about, but he wanted to make him look stupid.

“How does a crack appear in the sky?” Grey asked.

His question stunned and annoyed the young man at the same time. First of all, the only way they knew a crack could form in the sky is when the attack of an Elementalist is so powerful that even the void would be destroyed by it.

But the thing was, in the current era, there haven’t been any cases of there being Elementalists powerful enough to cause a crack in the void.

The young man looked at Grey stunned because he couldn’t answer Grey’s question but annoyed because he knew what he saw.

Just as the young man was about to continue questioning Grey, Jonas walked back towards them, giving them a stern look.

“He needs to rest,” He said emotionlessly.

The young man clenched his fists before turning around to leave. His companion looked at Jonas coldly before leaving with him.

“Your group is quite united,” Grey said nonchalantly before sitting down crossed leg.

Jonas shrugged at his comment before leaving. He naturally knew the duo didn’t like Grey, but he didn’t think they would outright start questioning him.

After Jonas left, Grey hastily checked his storage ring to see if what almost got him killed was safe.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he found it sitting calmly in one corner of his storage ring.

‘It’s at least five times what that pendant contained. Will it be enough to heal him?’ He thought to himself when he saw the liquid.

There was only one way to find out, and that was feeding it to Void. But since he was still here, he didn’t think it was wise to try it given the eyes that were on him.

‘I’ll rest for a while then leave,’
