Chapter 341: Town Of Mercenaries

Chapter 341: Town Of Mercenaries

Grey’s consciousness entered the Chaos Space. Since comprehending the darkness element, and increasing its grade, he hadn’t come here often.
After entering, he looked around, and just like he expected, a new zone had appeared in the Chaos Space. It was the zone for the space element.
His gaze stayed on the zone for the space element for a little while before switching his gaze to the mountain where the temple resided.
He soon appeared on the temple, heading for the rock in the middle. He placed his hand on the stone, and just like usual, an energy moved into his body before going round and going back to the stone.
A few seconds later, seven colors lit up on the stone.
‘Seven elements, heh, to think a few years ago I had none,’ Grey thought when he saw the seven colors on the rock.
He didn’t look at the rest since he already knew their elemental grades. There were two blacks in the stone, but the one which took his attention was the one which seemed like it was drawing someone into it the longer they stared at it.
When he looked closer, he was surprised to see a small purple light in the middle.
“Purple! It jumped right through two grades,” Grey exclaimed on seeing the results of the test.
After comprehending an element, he usually starts from the first elemental grade, but slowly grinding it to higher grades, or using natural treasures.
Although, there had been one case where his elemental grade didn’t start from pink, that was when he comprehended the water element. He was already close to comprehending the water element at that time, so after using the water heart pulse he acquired from the crocodile which had black lightning back at the trial land, it went up to the orange grade as soon as he comprehended it.
‘Hmm, could it be because of the energy waves I had to endure?’ He asked himself a little confused.
That was the only thing he could think of which could improve the elemental grade of the space element after comprehending it.
His excitement quickly died down and he left the Chaos Space. For some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to be excited because of the space element. Whenever he thinks about his success, he’d recall how his actions hurt Void.
“*Sigh* After waking him up, then I’ll be able to celebrate,” Grey sighed.
“Wait, if it’s already purple and the consumption is this high, how would it feel like if it were in the pink grade? Come to think of it, I never checked the elemental grades for Void’s element,” He thought out loud.
Since Void hatched, he never thought of checking his elemental grade. Maybe it was because he had never actually heard of people checking the elemental grades of magical beasts before.
It was after seeing the elemental grade of his space element did the thought come to him. If his elemental grade was purple yet the consumption was that high within that short time, then how high was Void’s since he could use it for longer?
‘I’ll find out when he wakes up, for now, it’s time to make the array,’ Grey quickly threw the thought to the back of his head.
There was no need brooding over it when Void’s asleep. Once he gets the treasure and wakes him up, then he’ll find a way to check his elemental grades.
With the help of the array he drew on the paper, it didn’t take him long to draw the array, nor find the spatial nodes. The only part that was harder was actually trying to integrate the space element into the array since it was bigger.
For almost thirty minutes, he was done with the array.
This was the first teleportation array in the entire continent, well, except for the one that led to the trial land, and probably more that are unknown to the people living in the continent.
After completing the array, Grey was once again exhausted, but this time, he was better compared to the first time.
‘I’ll rest for the night,’
Since it was already dark, there was no need to start the journey. He’ll wait till it’s bright before setting out.
The next morning.
Grey quickly left the cave, making sure to seal it completely. He not only sealed the opening with his earth element, but he also created an array around it.
With the help of a few essence stones, the array would be able to last for at least a month if someone who’s proficient in arrays didn’t break it, or someone in the Overlord Plane.
He also made precautions around the teleportation array, just in case someone managed to break into the cave. Without him activating it from the other side, there’s no way others would know about it.
This was possible with the help of the space element. Now he knew how Void was able to hide from experts in the Overlord Plane without being caught.
With everything set, he started his journey back to Eternal City. It had been just around two months since he left Eternal City, now he was heading back.
Twelve days later.
“Hmm, this isn’t Eternal City,” Grey muttered while looking at the city gates before him.
He followed the route to Eternal City, but he forgot some of the paths, so he brought out the disc to use it to track Reynolds. But on getting to where Reynolds’ light was coming from, it wasn’t Eternal City.
This city was smaller, even smaller than Red City. Grey guessed it was most likely a small town.
There were multiple people coming and going at the gate of the city. Most of their expressions looked serious, and Grey could sense bloodlust from some of them.
‘This must be a mercenary town,’ He thought.
He had heard of these places, it’s a town built and owned by mercenaries. A guild was created by some merchants and mercenaries some years ago, Grey didn’t think it had already grown to become this big.
After looking at the gate once more, he walked forward.
