Chapter 1458 God's Favorites

Three days later.

Grey appeared at the gates of the Pyrmond Faction. He looked at it with some emotions. When he came here he was in the Overlord Plane, but in a matter of a few years, he had grown to the Peak of the Venerable Plane, on the verge of becoming a Sovereign, being close to the very top of the Aurora Continent, yet he didn't feel safe nor comfortable, rather, there was a force urging him to grow stronger.

He was growing stronger, yet the forces after his life were getting even stronger. In the Azure Continent the strongest experts there were only in the Overlord Plane, with a few at the Sage Plane. But now, he was against a foe that had God Plane Elementalists in it. Not just him, but the entire Continent.

The difference between him and the others was that the Gnome race wanted him dead at all costs, while the others could be pardoned if the Aurora Continent was successfully invaded by the Gnomes.

To a certain extent, the humans were all fighting for their lives, but there was a good chance they could also survive under the control of the Gnomes. Yes, they would be restricted from doing certain things, but there was a slight chance they would survive.

Grey was different, with his ability, the Gnomes didn't want him to grow. At the moment, even with his current strength, they feel he's already becoming more of a threat. Someone as dangerous as he is shouldn't have been allowed to grow. However, he was discovered very late which was to his advantage.

At the moment, it was common knowledge that Grey is wanted dead by the Gnomes, and recently, the price placed on his head had been increased.

Grey sorted out his feelings before walking into the Pyrmond Faction. He was still a member of this once prestigious Faction, and would always be. Even though he had some issues with one of the Grand Elders, his status as the son of the great Lucas Dawson was enough to ward off any evil eyes placed on him for the meantime. Other than the Gnomes and Necromancers, the rest didn't want to have any issues with Lucas, hence the reason some people hadn't taken on the task of killing Grey and collecting the rewards.

When Grey entered the Faction grounds, he was surprised that he didn't even get the chance to get to his house before he was teleported to the Faction Leader's place.

Grey bowed to greet the Faction Leader when he saw him. When he sensed the teleportation energy, he knew where it was coming from so he didn't fight it.

"Peak of the Venerable Plane. A prodigy from the Dawson Family indeed." The Faction Leader nodded in approval when he saw Grey's current cultivation stage.

He knew Grey was going to get to the Sovereign Plane faster than his father, Lucas Dawson, but it is looking like it would be faster than what he imagined.

"It's good you've returned safely from your journey." He added. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

"Thank you." Grey bowed once more.

"I'm sorry for this, but I was looking for the perfect person to send out for a mission, and since you're here, I couldn't help it." The Faction Leader gave a wry smile.

"You can't refuse that." The Faction Leader cut Grey off, "You've not been in the Faction for a while now and you need to at least complete some tasks. I'm sorry, but you have to accept it."

"You don't have to worry, they wouldn't be venturing deep into the forest, just enough for them to train." The Faction Leader said, seeing Grey's expression he added, "Also, none of them will be aware of your presence. With your strength, don't tell me you can shield yourself from a bunch of Sage Plane Elementalists."

Grey thought about it and nodded. Since he didn't have any choice, he didn't mind following them. Besides, he had Void who was already a Rank Eight Magical Beast. Void would protect them while he trained somewhere else.

"When are they heading out?" He asked.

"In two days. So you have sometime to rest." The Faction Leader said.

Grey didn't speak any further and left the place, heading to his building.

He was quite famous in the Faction, and the others were able to easily recognize him. As he walked through the Faction, he was getting looks from those around and those in groups started to discuss him. There were a lot of rumors that were about him and one of the most common one was the fact that he was very powerful for his cultivation stage. Not just him, but his group of friends were also very powerful.

"You don't have to worry, they wouldn't be venturing deep into the forest, just enough for them to train." The Faction Leader said, seeing Grey's expression he added, "Also, none of them will be aware of your presence. With your strength, don't tell me you can shield yourself from a bunch of Sage Plane Elementalists."

The group of friends were even called 'God's favorites'.

As Grey walked, he heard all sorts of rumors and couldn't help but frown. His reputation had grown more than he expected. He didn't find this pleasing in any way. He liked being anonymous, but with his present fame, it would be difficult to even walk in the Faction without having so many looks from others.

'Klaus would be enjoying this.' This was the only thing in his head as he dropped his head and walked into his building to hide.

It didn't take long before a visitor arrived. It was none other than Keith, the only person he regarded as a friend in the Faction.

It had been a while he saw Keith, and when Keith entered the place, he found out Keith was already at the Peak of the Sage Plane, and with a little push, he would break through to the Venerable Plane.

"You're back." Keith said as he walked in.

"Yes. I didn't find you in your place so I decided to rest for a bit." Grey nodded.

"I just returned and heard some people talking about you, so I came here as soon as I could." Keith explained.

He tried to sense Grey's cultivation stage, but he couldn't. As a matter of fact, as he tried to sense it, it was as if he was being dragged into the boundless space.
