The person in front of him fitted Arya’s brother, other than for the fact that he looked like someone who was already tethering between life and death, his other features met Arya’s description.

He was a little bit pessimistic since the current look of the young man wasn’t the best.

He walked closer to him and once again looked at him.

The young man was breathing weakly, his eyes were hazy.

“Hey, are you Arya’s brother?” Grey asked when he got to where the young man was resting.

“Ar…ya?” The young man spoke, albeit very weak.

Grey noticed the young man seemed to be struggling with someone.

Without thinking too much, he used his light element in hopes of healing him. Even though his light element was the one with the lowest elemental grade, it was no problem for him to heal the injuries of an Arcane Plane Elementalist.

Things however, didn’t go as he hoped. The physical injuries on the body of the young man healed at a speed visible to the eyes, but his eyes were still lackluster.

“Hey, are you okay now?” Grey asked.

“Who… who are you?” The young man asked as he looked at Grey vigilantly, he suddenly paused before saying, “You mentioned Arya, where’s she?”

“Not here. Are you her brother?” Grey asked once again.

“Yes. How do you know her?” The young man asked.

“Nothing to be bothered about. We’re leaving, you’ll speak with her when you meet her.” Grey didn’t want to stay here any longer.

“I’ve tried, but I can’t leave. Not just me, but most of us who came have been unable to leave.” The young man replied with a flash going through his eyes.

“Don’t worry about that, we’re leaving.” Greu grabbed onto the man’s hand, but the man withdrew his hand.

“I don’t think you understand the seriousness of this place. We can’t leave.” Arya’s brother said once again.

Grey didn’t say anything and vanished, however, he soon returned once again with an odd expression.

‘Strange.’ He thought to himself.

After trying two more times, he finally understood how this place worked. They can only leave this place with the help of the array, and it was in the cave.

Grey didn’t think too much about it and tried to contact Void. At this moment, he noticed something that shocked him, the second he tried to use his spiritual senses, he noticed something was absorbing it here.

This was terrible considering how useful an Elementalist’s spiritual senses was. Now he understood why Arya’s brother had listless eyes, he had been here for a long time and his spiritual senses must have been drained a lot. If it gets to a certain stage, he would face the risk of turning into a walking dead. He wouldn’t be dead, but he wouldn’t really be alive either. If he’s lucky, he might fall into a coma, if he’s unlucky, he would lose his mind.

Grey immediately started to draw an array mid-air, before long, it enveloped the duo, blocking whatever was draining their spiritual senses.

After doing this, Grey decided it was time to check out what was wrong with this place. Setting up something to drain the spiritual senses of Elementalists was a devious move. Only a few people would notice, some might not even notice this until it was too late.

‘I wonder if they’re aware of this?’ Grey turned to look at the two old men.

He soon discarded them. They weren’t his concern. Now, he wanted to break this array and leave this place. He had always been a master when it came to arrays, seeing his knowledge being challenged, he was excited to show this dead expert what he was made of.

He sat down and started to browse through the arrays he was familiar with that could break through a sealing array. As long as he found it, it would be easy.

The array on the outside was much more easy and full of loopholes when compared to this one. He didn’t even notice there was an array here until he tried to leave.

Using the space element within this area was allowed, but as soon as he tried to leave, he would be knocked back by the space. What was worse was that as far as the eyes could see, the only thing visible were mountains and hills.

Arya’s brother looked at the young man beside him. He still couldn’t understand how Grey knew Arya. Since Grey came to him, it meant it was most likely because of Arya.

He could tell that Grey was by no means weak.

‘Where did she find such a genius?’ He thought to himself.

While Grey and Arya’s brother were by the side, the two old men moved out.

Before them was a tree that was covered with a veil. Inside the tree was what brought them here. It was a rare fruit that could help boost the chances of these old men breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane and even the Elemental Sovereign Plane.

They heard this old expert was grooming it, but before it was mature enough, he died. Now, they had come to take the harvest of the man’s hard work.

They attacked the veil, but it retaliated with an attack that was almost double of theirs. Not just that, but it also sent out a large-scale mental attack.

This attack affected Grey who was trying to think of a way to break through this task in front of him. Luckily, he set up a barrier that not only blocked what was draining their spiritual consciousness, but it also blocked this mental attack.

Unfortunately, it broke apart after blocking the first attack.

Grey’s eyes snapped open and he looked at the direction the attack came from. It was none other than the tree. The tree was almost conscious, attacking on its own.

‘This thing is good. I wonder what’s inside?’ He thought to himself.

Originally, he didn’t think there would be anything that could pique his interest, only now did he know that he was wrong.
