Chapter 776 - Strange Occurrence

'Then what do we do?' Grey asked Void, a little frustrated.

'There's nothing we can do.' Void replied with a bland expression.

Grey felt a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do about it. He kept quiet and increased his cautiousness as they traveled.

With their last experience, Kyle knew they would always have to be cautious. He also noticed the change in Grey's behavior since the encounter. Especially when the man appeared.

Time went by and after three days, they had entered the next Region.

"We'll be going our separate ways soon." Kyle said to Grey as they walked into a town.

"Okay." Grey nodded.

Kyle had been speaking more with Klaus and the others with the communication device, more than he had been doing with Grey who was present. Grey was almost always training whenever they were not moving, so there was almost no chance to speak with him.

Klaus and the others had been doing well in their Factions. Klaus was the one who seemed the happiest. According to him, he was training in the most conducive place for him. Surrounded by beauties made his training easier.

Kyle still hasn't been able to believe that Klaus was actually able to join the Moonlight Faction. It was still a surprising event.

One of the things he enjoyed about traveling with Grey was his cooking. He couldn't help but admit that Grey was one of the best cooks he had met in his life.

Grey had been cooking frequently because of his Teacher, so Kyle and Void got to eat a lot of delicacies.

The duo stayed together for a few more days before finally going their separate ways. Grey was heading towards the northern part of the Region, while Kyle was going towards the eastern part of the Region.

"What's the plan now?" Void asked as they watched Kyle's disappearing figure.

"I guess I should look for a Faction to join." Grey replied.

"Alright. We should get going then." Void said.

He still hasn't been able to achieve a breakthrough. If Grey were to join a Faction, given how they would treat him, he would be able to use the treasure there without any problems.

Grey and Void started their journey once again. They were used to traveling together, so there were no issues with them.

Grey focused entirely on cultivating. He had been trying to increase the elemental grade of his earth element, while also practicing the new elemental skills he acquired. The earth elemental skills with him were a bit helpful, but he still hadn't been able to increase his elemental grade yet.

Void had been a little bored since nothing interesting was happening. Grey had been extremely cautious with how he handled things. There was a time he even avoided clashing with people in the Origin Plane, just because of the fear of being ambushed by others who were more powerful.

His research in arrays had been stagnant for some time now. He even asked his Teacher for help with it. But his Teacher hadn't been able to provide anything tangible as well. When he told his Teacher about the mark and necromancers, he noticed his Teacher reacted in a strange manner. He tried to ask his Teacher what was wrong, but his Teacher didn't tell him anything.

Some days later.

Grey walked into a small town. He noticed there was a strange aura circulating around the place.

'Void.'

'On it.'

Void disappeared from his shoulder, and after a few minutes, he returned.

"There's no one here." Void said.

"Huh?" Grey looked around, he could tell there was human activity in this town.

Thinking about it, he felt it was best to leave the town and continue his search for a Faction. Before he could leave, he sensed some people rushing over.

"You, stop there!" A voice came from above.

Grey looked in the sky and saw a group of youths being carried by a large bird. After studying them, he continued walking. They were all in the Overlord Plane, so he had no reason to obey them.

"Are you deaf? I said stop there." The voice ordered overbearingly before the bird flew over to where Grey was headed, blocking his path.

On the bird were eight youths, three young ladies, and five young men.

The person who spoke to Grey was the young man in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane. From how he was standing in front of the others, Grey guessed he was the leader of the group.

"What do you want?" Grey asked with a blank expression.

"What happened here?" The young man asked in a commanding tone.

"Why are you asking me?" Grey asked in annoyance.

He hated people like this who felt they were on top of the world. The young man didn't even show any courtesy.

The young man's expression changed slightly when he saw Grey's reaction, he was about to continue speaking when one of the young ladies stepped forward.

"Sorry for the way he spoke to you. We were sent here to investigate the strange events that had been happening in the area. This is the most recent event, so we rushed here, seeing you here, we felt maybe you would know what happened." The young lady apologized for the young man's behavior before telling Grey their reason for stopping him.

"I only came here a few minutes ago. But I can tell you that there's no one here, that's all I know." Grey replied.

"Alright, thank you for your help." The young lady said before turning to the others.

"We should continue our investigation. Whoever is doing this shouldn't have gone far." She said to the others.

The young man who Grey thought was the leader of the group snorted coldly as he looked at Grey before he followed the others into the bird as they flew away.

"Hmm, strange occurrences. What do you think of it?" Grey asked Void.

This was the first time they were seeing this. They had been traveling in this area for some days now, and they hadn't seen a situation like this before.

"Maybe it started recently. There might be a treasure involved, do you want to investigate it as well?" Void asked with sparkling eyes.

"No, I have no interest in wasting my time on these things." Grey went in the other direction the bird flew.
