1506 High Spirits
Grey and Klaus were in a state of shock. It was fine since Grey had a reason for his increase, but what is the reason behind Klaus' elemental grade increase?
It's not just Klaus, but both Reynolds and Alice must have seen an increase as well, but like Klaus, they were also oblivious to it.
"Grey, did you infect us?" Klaus blurted out.
"Why are you saying it like it's a bad thing?" Grey couldn't believe what was coming out of Klaus' mouth, if he indeed 'infected' them like Klaus claims, wouldn't it be a good thing for them?
"This doesn't make sense. There's no way it can happen that way. Did you by any chance take a treasure that's powerful and can also increase your elemental grade?" Grey couldn't make sense of what was happening.
"If I did, don't you think I would've checked already?" Klaus hadn't taken any treasures like that. Besides, it wasn't something easy to come by. Because they found it once doesn't mean they will be able to do so again.
"If you're implying I did, which I don't remember doing, what about Rey and Alice?" Klaus added, "They're increasing at this same speed as well."
Grey grabbed his head in confusion. This was an unbelievable discovery.
"Could I really be infecting you guys?" He didn't know what to believe.
Klaus shrugged, he didn't know, he was just saying.
"I wonder what grades your elements are." He changed the topic, motioning for Grey to place his hand on the stone.
"All we need is time." Klaus didn't want to give up.
"Time, we do not have. They can invade at any time. This is why I want to sneak in there and cause some chaos." Grey dropped his head, "If we can buy a year or two, maybe, just maybe we might make it."
"If a year or two is too much, then we'll break through faster. Aren't you confident in getting to the Peak of the Sovereign Plane in a few months?" Klaus asked.
Grey looked at him, he wanted to be optimistic like Klaus, but he couldn't. This wasn't so simple. He knew Klaus knew this as well, but he was just being himself.
"Heh, a few months to get to the Peak of the Sovereign Plane, we'll have to break every record to attain that." He joked.
"We've been breaking these records all this while, why would this be different?" Klaus' spirit was getting higher and higher, and to a certain extent, it was starting to affect Grey.
"Why would this be different?" Grey asked himself, and to be honest, he didn't know. He didn't know if it was just him being pessimistic, or overthinking the situation, but he knew it couldn't be that easy.
"There's no harm in trying, brother." He shaked Klaus' hands.
"Haha, that's the spirit! In a few months we will get to the Peak of the Sovereign Plane, we have no choice." Klaus said.
"We either get to the Peak, or die." Grey added.
"Chill bud, it's not that serious yet." Klaus had to calm Grey's spirit this time. He didn't mention anything about dying, so where did Grey get that?
Grey laughed when he heard Klaus, the duo entered a fit of laughter as they watched Kyle break through. They knew this was a serious matter, and breaking through has gotten even tougher since they got to the Sovereign Plane, but they have no choice!
