Chapter 1503 What's The Backstory?
Grey moved the bed and found a chest under it.
"Whatever's here should be in here." He said and just as he was about to open it, he sensed something and couldn't help but shake his head, with a wave of his hand, all the figures that were about to step out from the miasma disintegrated.
Kyle didn't even sense the figures, but Grey had already dealt with them. Not just that, while he was dealing with them, he had also unlocked the chest.
"What's inside?" Klaus asked.
"Some kind of scale." Grey picked up a large dark-brownish scale from the box, its surface was rough and very strong.
"A Dragon scale?" Kyle asked.
"No, I have a Dragon and I've felt his scales, it's not like this." Grey explained.
"You know you didn't have to add the last part, right?" Klaus felt a vein pop on his head.
Grey was obviously showing off! What was the point of speaking about having a Dragon and this? A simple no would've been fine!
"How are you going to believe me?" Grey asked.
"You told us to walk into a dangerous miasma and we didn't doubt you, you think we would cause of a scale of unknown origin?" Klaus felt like beating Grey up.
Grey thought about it and confirmed Klaus was right. They haven't doubted him once, but still, he felt like he had to explain to them how he knew it wasn't a Dragon's scale.
While Klaus and Grey were in the midst of bickering, Kyle looked at Grey in shock once again, he couldn't help but ask softly, "You have a Dragon?"
"Yeah, a baby Dragon. You see, I saved..."
'Strange...' Something flashed through his head, but he shook his head. He didn't think there was a connection between this and what he just recalled.
The group entered the room and didn't find anything. This was within their expectations since they only found something in over ten previous doors.
They went on to head over to the other stairs on the other side of the Hall.
The first door proved to be productive as they saw a bead, although full with miasma, it seemed to possess some amount of pure essence.
Grey could easily remove the miasma in it so it was something Kyle could use. In this hallway, they found something good in almost every door they entered. But the strength of the figures increased, but it wasn't enough to threaten them.
As they left the hallway and returned to the Hall, Kyle walked closer to the chair that was placed on the end of the Hall, facing the door.
When he got closer to it, his eyes expanded, "Impossible."
"What?"
Both Grey and Klaus' attention were drawn over when they heard him.
"This is the place of a legendary figure, the Phoenix King." Kyle explained.
"The Phoenix what now?" Klaus was confused.
"The Phoenix King." Grey leaned closer to Klaus' ear and said clearly.
"I heard him the first time." Klaus pushed Grey away with his shoulders.
"The Phoenix King is not technically a Phoenix, rather, he was a powerful Elementalist that was well known for his closeness with the Phoenixes. It is said that he knows the exact place Phoenixes hide and even lives with them..." Kyle explained.
Allegedly, this Phoenix King has a lot of Phoenixes around him and is even said to be a descendant of Phoenixes from a strange story which Kyle didn't go into even after Klaus' insistent pestering.
