Chapter 658 - Goodbye Azure Continent, Hello Aurora Continent
Chapter 658 - Goodbye Azure Continent, Hello Aurora Continent
The group continued their journey deeper into the Magical Beasts' forest, and before long, the beasts they encountered were almost at the Peak of Rank Five. They naturally didn't dare to go any further since it would mean that they would soon leave the region for Rank Five beasts and enter the one for Rank Six beasts.
Even in this place, there is the possibility of encountering a Rank Six beast since it isn't that far. One thing that made the group less worried is that even the Rank Five beasts rarely come out from their caves. They all preferred staying inside. Other than the appearance of a treasure, most of them might not come out for months or even years.
The group stayed in the Magical Beasts' forest for over a week before they decided it was time to head to where the teleportation array resided.
Alice had broken through to the Fourth stage of the Overlord Plane before they were leaving, so their journey wasn't wasted.
When the group got to the building, they were quite surprised, not expecting such a building to be in this place. Who would have the time to build a mansion in the Magical Beasts' forest?
"The teleportation array is inside." Grey said to the group while they were still staring at the building.
They nodded before following Grey into the building. Klaus and Reynolds looked around curiously, trying to see if they could find anything that might be of importance. Unfortunately, there was nothing in that building, not even chairs.
"Is this the only way to get to the Aurora Continent?" Alice asked.
"This is the only one I know of. Since this one is here, there's a high chance that there is another one somewhere." Grey replied after giving it some thoughts.
Alice nodded in understanding.
They didn't waste any more time, all standing in the teleportation array. Grey set the essence stones in their positions and the array soon lit up.
"Goodbye Azure Continent." Klaus waved as if there was someone there sending them off.
Somewhere in the previous Azure Empire, deep in a forest.
Some figures could be seen in a compound, rushing towards a small room.
They soon got into the room, staring at the figure sitting behind the table.
"What is it?" The figure sitting behind the table in the room asked.
"The boy is no longer within range." One of the figures said.
"Does that mean he has gone to an independent space?" The figure asked.
"I don't think so Supreme One, you should also know of the main continent. If he were to go there, then there's no way we can track him there." The figure replied with heads bowed.
"There are powerful necromancers there, they will certainly sense the mark. Unlike before, I made sure to place a new mark on his body while we forced them out of the spatial tunnel." The figure regarded as the Supreme One said.
Compared to human necromancers, these guys didn't need to use their lives in exchange for placing a mark. They could easily use it. The person marked wouldn't even know they were marked.
With this mark, as long as Grey was in the Aurora Continent, he was bound to attract the attacks of necromancers all around.
"What should we do now, Supreme One?" One of the figures asked.
"Hide. This is the best thing to do. Our tracks have already been exposed, and sooner or later more people from the main continent will come searching for us. We still haven't recovered completely, and it will still take some time before the seal weakens." The figure regarded as the Supreme One said.
The others exchanged glances before nodding. They left soon after.
Meanwhile, in the Aurora Continent.
Grey and his friends appeared in a place not too far from a small town.
The moment Klaus and the others appeared here, they could feel the difference in the elemental essence here. It was easily five times better than the Azure Continent.
Klaus took a deep breath before saying, "Hello Aurora Continent."
Grey looked at him, a little short of words. They decided to head to the town. First of all, he didn't know where they were, and although he had been here before, he was only familiar with some places.
"Hey, so there is a ranking system here. It's called the genius rankings. Each Plane has its rankings while the Early, Mid, and Late stages also have their levels as well…" Grey went on to tell them about the ranking system.
"That's nice, then I don't mind going for those in the Early stages." Reynolds replied straightforwardly.
Without his Elemental Warrior, he was still in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane.
"I'll go for those in the Mid stages then. It'll be nice if I can become famous." Klaus said with a grin.
"Heh! Not while I'm here." Grey scoffed.
"Have you participated in this ranking event before?" Alice asked.
"I not only participated, but in three or four counties, I was the number one in the Origin Plane. I even went as far as defeating a few people in the Overlord Plane. I'm in the top twenty of those in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane." Grey declared proudly.
"Damn, now I want to take on the challenge real bad." Klaus said.
"Don't worry, you'll get your chance soon. But I want to ask, what's the plan? Are we staying independent, or are we joining a Faction?" Grey asked the most important question.
"For now, let's watch and see. We can't hastily join a Faction." Alice replied.
"I know, but in a place like this, we naturally need backings. There are powerful forces here that you can not even begin to imagine. With Klaus here, I'm certain we will offend someone with a powerful background, and that might be the end of us." Grey explained.
Alice thought of it, and thinking about Klaus' personality, she couldn't say that Grey was wrong. Klaus was bound to offend someone sooner or later, without sufficient backing, they would be toast.
