Chapter 774 - Chased Into Space

Three days went by in the blink of an eye. It was finally time for the group to part ways once again. Just like before, each would be going their separate ways. However, this time, things were different. They weren't being chased, well, except for Klaus who had amassed a huge number of enemies during the competition, and Grey who was being chased by necromancers.

"So, we're separating once again." Alice said with a sad expression.

"Yeah." The boys nodded, all sad that they were leaving their friends.

"At least we're not being hunted this time." Klaus joked to break the silence.

"Technically, I'm still hunted." Grey shook his head with a wry laugh. He never thought his days in the Aurora Continent would be this perilous. Other than his strength, he basically had nothing to rely on.

"Oh, I forgot about that. Well, I guess some things never change." Klaus smiled.

The others laughed at his subtle jeer. Even Grey laughed to it as well.

The group said their goodbyes, before heading towards the people of the Factions they joined. Grey and Kyle looked on as the groups left with their Elders.

Grey gave them some of the treasures he had with him.

"What now? Where are you going?" Kyle asked.

They were the only ones left with the departure of the others.

"I have no idea, where are you going?" Grey replied with a shrug. The truth was that he didn't know his next destination. His plan was to travel across the Regions and see if he would find what he was looking for.

"I'll be going back to my Family. I only came out to stretch my legs." Kyle replied after a moment of silence.

"Alright, hear's a communication device I made. You can use it to interact with the others." Grey passed one of the plaques he made to Kyle.

"Oh, how convenient." Kyle studied the plaque Grey gave to him.

Grey turned in the other direction, preparing to leave.

"Why don't we travel together since we're both going the same way?" Kyle asked.

"Oh, sure." Grey nodded before waiting for him.

They left this city after spending days there. Grey's current destination was the next Region on the map, while Kyle would be stopping at the next Region as well.

"How do you plan to cope with the mark on you?" Kyle asked the important question he had in mind.

"I'm still thinking about it, but I guess all I can do for now is to be cautious." Grey replied.

He was still working on the array he wanted to use in hiding the mark on his body. But he still haven't been able to get any good result.

Kyle looked at Grey's carefree attitude. He couldn't help but wonder if he wasn't afraid of the threat of the necromancers.

One week later.

Grey and Kyle had been traveling through multiple cities, and they were finally at the last city before entering the next Region.

Gillar City.

Grey and Kyle were sitting in an Inn, listening to what has been happening in the Region to see if they might get news about any treasure, just like the time they got news of the treasure Void wanted back at the mansion.

"We're being followed." Kyle said to Grey.

"You've noticed too?" Grey asked.

"Yes, for some time now. I only waited to confirm my senses." Kyle nodded.

"My bets on necromancers, they are the only ones who would follow us." Kyle added.

"We had a squabble with some people some days back, so it might also them." Grey said his thoughts.

"Whoever it is, they're really bad at hiding their tracks." He added.

"Confront or pretend?" Kyle asked for Grey's choice.

He was stuck in confronting the person, or continue pretending to see what these people were up to.

"Let's pretend for a while. Since the person isn't concealing their aura, it means there's a motive behind it." Grey replied after giving it some thoughts.

"Okay."

The duo continued walking in the city, and they still sensed the person following them. Grey brought the idea of them going to a secret alley to confront whoever it was.

Kyle agreed to it, and they headed for the nearest alley.

When they got there, the person going after them hid not too far from them, trying to see what they were up to.

'Void.' Grey called out in his mind.

Void vanished from his shoulder. A few seconds later, he returned with the figure of a chubby lady.

"Who are you?" Grey asked in a straightforward manner.

"Hehe, they knew you would do this." The lady laughed in an odd manner before she started inflating in size.

"Oh no."

Grey's expression changed before he grabbed Kyle's hand and activated a talisman he took from his Teacher. The light element wrapped him and sent them flying in the other direction.

The chubby lady's figure burst apart and a ray of light shot at them.

While escaping, Grey instantly entered the Fusion State and tried to use the Great Void technique. He tore through space and dove in with Kyle in tow.

The ray of light chased after him. It entered space along with Grey, chasing after him as he tried to escape from the ray of light.

This wasn't the first time he was sensing this ray of light. It is usually placed in a puppet, belonging to the necromancers. When he was experimenting with one of the corpses, he saw this thing inside. It was extremely dangerous, and he could tell that if that thing hits him, he would be in danger.

That lady was surprisingly a puppet belonging to a necromancer. This was however one of the most lifelike puppets he had seen, other than the ones made by those creatures.

'Damn it!'

Grey complained as he saw the ray of light entering the spatial tunnel with him. He never thought something like this would happen.

A spatial tunnel opened in another location and Grey shot out of it, behind him was a ray of light.
