Grey and Void rushed away from the area, followed by the echoing sound of the explosion.

Some seconds later.

They were finally out of the range of the explosion, and they turned to take a breath as they looked at the destruction caused by the old man’s self-destruct.

“What happened?” Void asked with a long face. He was truly scared.

“The old man self-destructed.” Grey replied with a green face.

“That serious?” Void was taken aback. He didn’t think the old man would actually self-destruct.

What the hell did Grey do to him that would make him take such a decisive step?

“I planned to kill him, but he wanted to drag me down with him. ” Grey still felt some fear in his heart.

If not for Void being around and him telling him to move out first, then he would’ve been in a difficult position. Maybe he might survive it, but his situation might be the same as when he was attacked by that man in the Lutra realm when even when he tried escaping, he was still heavily affected by it.

Grey and Void watched on from a far distance.

Arya on the other hand was more focused on her brother who was on the ground. Grey naturally couldn’t be too bothered with Arya’s brother, so he dropped him on the ground when they stopped running.

“Big brother…” She shook her brother who was lying motionless on the ground. She could tell that he was still breathing, and he didn’t seem to have suffered any physical injuries, but his eyes were shut.

Grey’s attention soon turned to them, his expression changed slightly when he saw Arya’s face.

‘What happened to him?’ Void asked Grey telepathically since he didn’t want Arya to hear them.

‘His consciousness is injured.’ Grey replied.

‘Oh, that’s not good.’ Void said.

Injuries to the consciousness were very difficult to heal. Even those experts at the Peak would find it difficult to heal them.

‘So, what’s the plan now?’ Void asked.

‘Can’t say. There’s something there that might be able to help him, but unfortunately, the old man was greedy and refused to give it to me. I’ll try to see if I can enter the place once the explosion dies down.’ Grey explained.

This was his only hope at the moment. Arya’s brother was currently in a coma, and there was no saying if he would be able to recover on his own. There are cases where injuries to the consciousness heal on their own, just like the situation of Void. But it was quite rare, and Arya’s brother couldn’t be compared to Void, so he wasn’t putting his hope on that.

‘Okay. So… what do you tell her?’

‘The truth, I guess. Her brother is injured, and although she’s still young, I presume she should know some things. Lying to her will only make it difficult.’

Grey and Void were still talking about the matter when Arya turned to them.

“Big brother Grey, why’s my big brother not waking up?” Arya asked with a somewhat tearful expression.

“He’s injured.” Grey went straight to the point.

He didn’t explain much to Arya, only saying that he was injured. She didn’t need to know the details.

“Will he be fine?” Arya asked.

“Yes, but it’ll take some time. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your elder brother gets healed.” Grey said with a soft smile.

‘Hopefully.’ He added internally.

This was by no means an easy thing to achieve, so he wasn’t too optimistic about it. First, he would head back to the place of the explosion and try to find the spatial tunnel that connected to where the tree was located.

After they waited a little while, they headed back to the place. Grey marked it before leaving, but when he tried to sense his mark, he was stunned when he didn’t find it. He expected it, but he was still irritated by it since he would have to journey there once again.

On the way, when they entered the place where the explosion impacted, they couldn’t help but suck in a deep cold breath. The previously buoyant forest was completely destroyed. From above, it was an empty patch of land with nothing on it. Looking into the distance, there was a particular place that had a huge crater on the empty patch of land. That was the place where the explosion started.

Since Arya’s brother was still alive, there was no way they could keep him in their spatial storage. Even Void attempted it, but he was unable to. So they had to carry him all the way there.

Getting to the place, Grey looked at the spot where the cave was previously located and couldn’t help but frown.

‘It’s not here.’

Void spread out his spiritual senses, and after some time, he nodded.

‘It has been wiped out. Only those Space Elementalists above the Elemental Venerable Plane can still locate it at this moment.’

Grey sighed heavily. This was the only thing he placed his hopes on. Now that he couldn’t get it, he had to look for other ways. Of course he could also postpone this matter for a little while. Traveling with an injured individual would slow him down.

Thinking about it for some time, he summoned the triplets. They were the people he usually used for getting some information and other things.

“My Lord, what can we do for you?” The Space Elementalist amongst the trio asked with a bowed head as soon as they appeared.

They rarely came out and knew since Grey brought them out, it meant he had a mission for them.

“You’ll have to take this two to the next town. Also, one or possibly two of you will have to go out in search of anything that can help with healing an injured consciousness.” Grey explained to the trio.

He had something to meet up to, so he didn’t want to waste too long searching for a way to heal Arya’s brother. If not for the fact that he had already taken in Arya as someone like a younger sister, he wouldn’t be this bothered by their matter.
