Chapter 1162 Trouble?



Grey and his friends came out of the secret realm a few minutes after the Leader of the Heavenly Fate Faction went to meet with the Elder from the Vaergahl Family. 

Grey had no idea his use of dragon scales had put the Vaergahl Family into the picture. Now, not just the Heavenly Fate Faction, but the Vaergahl Family were looking for him. 

Of course, this wouldn't bother him since he knew there was no way they would think it was him. First off, other than the dragon scales, he didn't use any form of attacks, so the young lady didn't know how she could describe him other than the armor and scales. 

The armor was something he didn't have prior to entering the place, this made him even more confident that he wouldn't be captured by others. 

When they came out, he noticed the strange mood around those from the Vaergahl Family, they seemed to be somewhat annoyed because they were being held back by those from the Heavenly Fate Faction. 

"What's happening with them?" Klaus pointed the strange situation out. 

"Nothing we should involve ourselves in. We better get going." Ellis suggested. 

He had some experience with the Vaergahl Family and knew it was best to stay out of their way.

Grey agreed with him and they soon left the area. Keith went over to meet up with those from the Pyrmond Faction, he came with them and it was only right he went back with them. 

When the Elders from the Pyrmond Faction saw the few people that returned, they couldn't help but shiver at the thought of the danger within the secret realm. It was only after they heard from Keith how the Syphilis Faction went on a killing spree on them due to looking for Grey did they understand why the death rate was that high. 

A few of the Elders looked at Grey, they didn't know what to feel about him. However, when they looked at the side of the Syphilis Faction and noticed of over fifty people that went in, only around eight people made it out, they couldn't help but clean their eyes. 

Keith told them of Grey's act of hunting those from the Syphilis Faction and killing them with ease. The Elders felt gratitude when they looked at Grey, at least with this, they knew he still placed the Faction somewhere in his heart. 

After finding out that he was from the Dawson Family and even the son of such a famous figure, most of them didn't think he would want to associate himself with the Faction, but to their surprise, he came back after a long trip. Although he left soon after, he fought for the Faction when the people were being slaughtered, although some might say he was the cause, technically, the Syphilis Faction had always tried to kill those from the Pyrmond Faction with any opportunity they could find. 

….

Grey and his friends went back to the place they gathered when they first arrived. 

"Why don't we go for a short stroll before everyone goes back to their Factions?" Reynolds suggested.

"That's the best thing I've heard you say for a while." Klaus chuckled and said. 

Reynolds smiled and replied, "Thanks."

He suddenly paused after speaking, he looked at Klaus who had burst out laughing, along with the others.

Embarrassed, he yelled angrily, chasing after the already running Klaus who was about to exit the tavern, "What the hell?! Come here, I'll kill!"

….

Five months went by in a flash. 

The entire Aurora Continent seemed to enter a state of quietness, it was like after the last expedition to the Twilight Faction, there was a moment of break. 

Grey and his friends went back to their separate Factions. Contrary to what most from the Dawson Family felt, Grey didn't go back with them, rather, he went back with the Pyrmond Faction. 

Ellis continued his exploration of the continent. He originally came out to train, alongside the young lady with him. Since Grey and the others were going into secluded cultivation, he followed his initial plans. 

The Pyrmond Faction. 

Grey was in his building when he heard a knock. He opened his eyes and left his place of cultivation, walking over to the door. 

When he opened it, he realized it was someone from the Faction's mission hall.

"That time again?" He asked. 

The young lady could only give a wry smile and nod. Although the Grand Elder from the Family Foudre came from wasn't openly causing trouble for him, he had made sure Grey went for more missions compared to others. 

There had been multiple times during the history of the Faction when missions were assigned to a specific individual, so it wasn't the first time something like this was happening, but it has been the most frequent in a year. 

Grey sighed, "Let's get this over with." 

He came out with the young lady and headed to the Elder's Area. Apparently, missions of this level are not dropped in the Mission Hall, rather, it is a personal request from a top individual in the Faction. 

The moment Grey and the young lady appeared, the Elder motioned for the young lady to leave and tossed a scroll at Grey. 

"Grey, you're here. Here's the mission, I want it completed within a week." The Elder said. 

Grey took the scroll and left. 

When he got to his place, he sighed. He had broken to the Third stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, due to spending too much time on missions, he hadn't been able to advance much, even with the new techniques he got from the place, he had only been able to learn a few new techniques. 

After accessing all the options with him, he learned the techniques he felt were better. 

Since his return, Keith, who didn't benefit too much from the last expedition they went together, had been out of the Faction for a long period, he headed to his building but he hadn't still returned. 

Void and the bunny leader sat excitedly on his shoulders, they hadn't seen anything interesting to do for almost a month now, when Grey left the place of cultivation and went out, they knew he must have been assigned a mission. 

"I'm tired of these things. I'll be leaving soon." He couldn't help but complain when he walked outside the Faction. 

"What's the plan this time?" Void couldn't help but ask what the mission was. 

"I don't know what populates that area yet, I'll have to go out first." Grey replied.

"Alright." Void said. 

Grey and the others left the place and headed for the forest around them. The Faction is covered by a large area of mass and it was filled with Magical Beast, and whenever most of the top dangerous missions were assigned to the people from your Faction, Grey has no way of finding out the mission he was assigned was dangerous. 

Only after he headed to one of the areas does he know that it is dangerous.

He was unfortunate to travel for a journey a year ago, so he knew the days he would be able to leave without facing any issues. 

Grey, Void, and the bunny leader left. Grey had just recently learned a new technique from the ones he inherited, so he was trying to get used to it. 

When he got to the place, he noticed that the enemy in the place was two stages ahead of his current stage. 

After five months, he only broke through a stage, the Magical Beast he had to face was only in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

Grey could fight against these five people, although they were still in the Fifth stage, they were not stronger than other geniuses in the Fifth stage. 

He was able to learn all the new techniques he had in mind with them, while also getting used to his new strength. In a matter of days, he was already accustomed to going with his seniors on a mission. 

He was still in the Third stage when he went with his seniors in a mission that was in the Sixth stage. He tried to trick a group into making his missions easier since that group wasn't a top group, they tried to always make sure he was assigned a mission that it was among the top Factions. 

Grey would have to go with only two people that were in the Fifth stage. This was a mission that was regular to his seniors. 

On this mission, Grey was shocked when he noticed that the people waiting for the mission were not the last ones. He knew this mission was not going to be like the last one. 

He looked at the others that were looking at the mission. 

"Do you think it will be easy?" Someone from his regular group for missions asked. 

"Not entirely. This mission will be harder than the last." Someone said.
