Chapter 831 Pale-blue Eyes

Chapter 831 Pale-blue Eyes

Grey and Void decided to check out the volcano. There was nothing left for them to do anyway. Knowing that they were on the same Continent made them calm down relatively quickly, with Grey's tracking device, they knew the general direction they had to go.

As they ascended the volcano, the temperature started to drop at an alarming rate. The amusing thing was that there was no ice on the volcano as they climbed it, yet they could feel the air getting cold, even their breaths were visible.

"What is this place?" Basil asked. Of the trio, he was the Water Elementalist, so he was fascinated by the prospect of seeing something that might help him advance in his cultivation.

"A volcano, obviously." Birch replied, rubbing his hands together because of the cold.

"I know, but have you seen a volcano like this before?" Basil said.

"This should be a special type of fire." Braden pondered. Of the trio, he was the one recognized to be the smartest, he was also the Space Elementalist. Not just that, but according to what Grey found out from them, he was also the eldest of the triplet.

"Correct, it's clearly a flame, but it gives off icy chills. It's even colder than most of the ice users I've encountered, excluding that Ice Dragon." Grey joined in on the conversation.

After getting them to be his lackeys, he built a good relationship with them. Although the way they started was a little on the wrong foot, he's building a relationship where they could trust each other. They wouldn't be equals, but they wouldn't be his slaves as well. They were here to help him out on some things, and they had the right to give out their suggestions.

Even the triplet was a little surprised at how Grey was treating them. They were one hundred percent certain that if they were in Grey's position, then they would naturally maltreat him. He wasn't from their race, so they did not need to sympathize with him.

They continued speaking as they ascended the volcano, the triplets soon brought out their horns, and it gave off a glow that covered their bodies, keeping the cold away from them.

While this was going on, Grey's eyes were shining with a pale blue light, identical to that of the corpse he encountered while escaping.

"Mas… Grey…" Braden called out to Grey when he noticed the color of his eyes. He had never seen Grey's eyes emit pale blue glows before, so he was a little curious.

"Huh?" Grey looked at him, a little puzzled.

"Your eyes, they're blue." Braden pointed out.

"Wait, what?" Grey was taken aback, he quickly used his water element to create a piece of thin ice that made something like a mirror for him.

Looking at it, he was stunned. It was as if he was staring into the eyes of the corpse. It hadn't been long since he saw the corpse, so he still recalled how its eyes looked.

"What's happening?" He muttered, flabbergasted by what was happening.

Due to the panic of the spatial tunnel breaking apart, he panicked, so he didn't notice when the light entered his body. Even if he did, the panic of the spatial tunnel wouldn't make him think much about it.

"Aren't these the same eyes that the corpse had?" Void asked after staring at the eyes for some time.

Grey nodded, trying to compose himself. While he was thinking of how it happened, he recalled what happened after he entered the spatial tunnel. He saw a flash of blue light, but he didn't see where it went. Originally, he thought it was from the space around, but now he understood it wasn't.

He didn't know what to do because he was unsure of his next course of action. There was no way he could pick out the cause of the light, nor could he expel it from his body. He didn't know if it would be harmful to him or not.

'This is getting a bit too complicated.' He thought to himself, 'Could the corpse have been what helped out with the teleportation array, also sending me here to acquire something, or is it just a coincidence?'

Multiple questions ran through his head. It was a little odd that as soon as the blue light flashed by, the tunnel stabilized and they were sent here. It would've been okay if they were just sent here, but for some reason, he felt some resonance with a volcano he had never seen before, and also from how it seemed to activate on his own as he ascended the mountain, there must've been a connection between the two.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the most likely explanation. It made sense if for some reason the corpse sensed his blue flames and the remnant consciousness in the body helped send him to acquire its legacy or something like that.

'But with my luck, will something like that really be possible?' He asked himself another question.

Unknown to him, his hypothesis was a little off, the blue light affected the destination, but without his protector helping to stabilize the tunnel, it would've been impossible for him to land here. His luck also played a role in this, because, in the case that his protector managed to send him to his original destination, he would've missed the chance of appearing here.

When Grey appeared here, his protector also appeared as well. He hid in the void as he watched Grey think of how to leave the place. He was still contemplating why Grey appeared in such a desolate place when Grey's eyes started to glow as they ascended the mountain.

'Don't tell me it's because of that…' He was a little unsure.

He noticed the light, but he wasn't able to stop it. However, he knew it was harmless since he checked Grey's body and saw it resting in his nebula quietly. He would've been able to force it out, but he could feel that it was meant to help Grey, so he let it be.

'How lucky, looks like he's not always unlucky.' He chuckled at the thought of Grey's bad luck all this while.
