Chapter 836 Keith's Trouble

Chapter 836 Keith's Trouble

Getting back to the Faction, Grey didn't have much to do. His elemental grade increased, he was at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, Void was in the Sage Plane, he got a new Sage Plane Magical beast pet, and there were also signs from the triplet that they would be breaking through to the Sage Plane as well.

All in all, his current target was getting to the Sage Plane as well. With the points he got from the mission, he read as many books as he could on arrays to improve his knowledge of arrays. He currently had an issue he couldn't neglect.

Void has gotten to the Sage Plane, but what if he was accidentally found by an Elemental Venerable necromancer, he would lose his life without even being able to blink. Void was no different as well. They might stand a chance against a Sage Plane Elementalist, but against an Elemental Venerable, they were no match for them.

His best choice right now is to improve himself, also, most of the people his age here were already on the Sage Plane. Those who were not in the Sage Plane were considered fairly talented, but they can't be compared with those on a higher Plane.

In Grey's house.

'I should try speaking with the others. It's been so long.' He thought before bringing out his communication device.

Since they separated, he had only spoken with them on one occasion, that was a few weeks before he entered the realm of the horned race. They didn't even know he was part of a Faction at present.

The second he sent his consciousness into the communication device, his head was flooded with messages. He almost fainted from the inflow of messages.

Most of them were from Klaus and Reynolds, naturally, while Alice and Kyle occasionally checked up on him. He first replied to Kyle and Alice since they had fewer messages, he started replying to Reynolds and Klaus after he was done with that. It didn't even take long before Reynolds sent another message, yelling at him for not replying sooner. Klaus and Alice did the same as well.

Grey chuckled when he heard their worried voices. They continued speaking and when they found out he was officially part of a Faction, they were elated. Thinking of Grey's mark, they all wanted him to stay inside the Faction and train. With Grey's talent, they were more than a hundred percent certain that he would be able to break through to the Sage Plane in at most six months.

They all spoke of their journeys so far. Klaus was already at the Peak of the Overlord Plane as well. While Alice and Reynolds were in the Late stages. Their speed stunned Grey.

He was the one with a higher elemental grade, yet his friends were advancing almost at the same pace as he was. Klaus was even more freakish, he was advancing quicker than the rest of them.

'Could their elemental grades be increasing as well?' A thought came to Grey, but he didn't know how to confirm how accurate it was.

This was the only reason he could think of. Either that or the stalled growth in the Azure Continent was currently exploding from them. Either way, they were advancing faster than normal.

Grey didn't forget to mention his adventure to the horned race's realm, and also Void's breakthrough to the Sage Plane.

Before he knew it, they had been speaking for hours. He just decided to spend the day speaking with his friends, since after this, he wouldn't be able to talk to them for a while once he focuses on his array training.​

According to what he found out recently, an expert array master in the Faction usually trains others once a month, and thankfully, it was free. The class would be taking place in two days, so he wanted to continue growing his knowledge before then.

When he was done speaking with his friends, he went over to Keith's place, and he didn't find him inside. He guessed he must've left for a mission or something. He found a way to make sure he knew he had returned before going back to his place.

Two days later.

Grey came out of his place, heading in the direction of the array class. He still hadn't seen Kieth yet, but he wasn't really worried.

Getting to the array class, he found around fifty youths present. Most youths don't have an interest in arrays since it requires a large amount of time to get an actual good result from it.

The Elder soon came along, she was middle-aged, with her blonde hair falling almost to her waist.

She quickly started the class, and Grey made sure not to get distracted. He was still in the class when he got a message from Void, Keith had returned, and his condition was not the best.

According to what Void told him, Keith was attacked, and he even had to expend a lot of effort to escape with his life, but he sustained serious injuries.

Grey was forced to leave the class and head back to his place.

At Keith's house.

"What happened?" Grey asked the moment he entered, tossing one of the remaining two healing tonics he had with him.

Kieth took it, and without checking it, gulped half of it and returned the rest. Grey motioned for him to keep it.

"Remember those guys from the trial?" Keith asked.

"The three that wanted you dead?" Grey tried to confirm if they were speaking of the same people.

Keith nodded before narrating what happened to Grey. Apparently, they followed him out of the Faction when he was completing a mission and tried to end his life. He was fortunate to get help from a stranger walking by, hence he managed to escape.

Grey thought about the issue and felt Keith was stuck in a difficult position. Since the trio were part of the Faction, and given the unity policy in the Faction, he couldn't walk up to them for a fight.

After thinking about it for some time, he decided it would be best to send the triplet after them. He would track them down, and when next they leave the Faction, the triplet will take care of them.

Unfortunately, if he released them in the Faction, the old monsters would sense it since they were unauthorized people.
