Chapter 947 The Allure Of Treasures

"We're leaving."

Void grabbed Arya's hand with his paws and vanished immediately.

He couldn't take the risk of staying there any longer. Even though the aura he sensed was very faint, he was a hundred percent certain that it came from the supposedly dead figure.

Not just that, but when he tried to reach out to Grey, he was unable to.

Grey told him to ensure that he left the place with Arya at the slightest hint of danger.

Before Arya could even say anything, her view changed and they were already outside the cave.

"What of Big brother Grey and my Big brother?" She asked worriedly.

"If your brother is there, Grey will find him and bring him out. Don't worry about them for now." Void explained slowly.

Arya nodded, but still looked in the direction of the passageway with a worried look. She might be young, but she already knew some things about the world. For instance, she feared that her Big brother might be dead.

What she feared the most now was that Grey might be in danger because of her asking him to search for her Big brother.

They stood by the side, and Void couldn't help but shake his head as he saw more people rushing into the place when the seal opened up.

'The allure of treasures…'

Looking at things, he decided to reduce his greed for treasures. Well, mainly shiny things.

The crystal was still with them and they still didn't know what was best to do. Tossing it away looked like the best option, but it might not really be. If whatever was sealed inside were to be unleashed in a Region, it might cause the death of countless people.

…

Back in the cave.

Grey soon appeared in the cave. Looking at the person he was holding, his expression changed a little.

With furrowed brows, he looked at Arya's brother.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

However, he received no response. Arya's brother's eyes had gone dim and it seemed like he was falling unconscious.

Grey's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly checked out his condition. When his spiritual senses entered his body, he felt a stinging pain in his head.

'Crap!'

Arya's brother was in a critical condition at the moment, his consciousness was about to fade away.

Only now did Grey recall that he was forced into the world when he was trying to leave. At first, he didn't think much about it, but now that he remembered that Arya's brother's spiritual senses had been drained for days by the place, it made it even easier for him to be affected by it.

Grey searched through all the treasures he had with him, but he couldn't find anyone that could help with spiritual senses or consciousness.

He looked around and soon came to a decision, the only thing he could think of now to use to help him was the fruit from the tree. Since it had such an ability, it should also be able to help bolster the consciousness of an Elementalist.

He couldn't keep the body since he was still alive, only in a coma.

He opened a hole in the ground and dropped him inside. This was the safest method he could think of.

Before heading in once again, he decided to take control of the array outside. He couldn't afford to make the same mistake as the first time.

'Huh, where's Void and Arya?'

He didn't sense Void nor Arya around, even after walking over to where he told them to wait, they were no longer there.

'Where are you?' Grey communicated with Void telepathically.

'Outside…' Void explained the situation to Grey.

Grey looked at the corpse after he finished listening to Void.

'Things don't seem as easy as they look.'

With squinted eyes, he walked over to the corpse. Since he had taken control of the array in the cave, he had no problems with getting close to the corpse.

After he passed through the mark where he should've been teleported away, his vision changed.

'An illusion?'

Grey found the situation strange. The supposed corpse wasn't actually in front of him at the moment, rather, there was a small cave that he could swear there was an aura of a living person inside.

After taking some time to prepare himself for any mishaps, he walked inside the place.

To his surprise, he saw an old man sitting crossed leg. This cave was small and it was obviously made by the old man.

The old man opened his eyes to look at the intruder.

Surprise flashed through his eyes when he saw such a youth walking into the cave. He tried to access the array but realized his imprint had been wiped out.

"Kid, what are you doing here?" The old man asked with a calm voice.

"Nothing, I only stumbled upon this place by accident." Grey replied.

The old man didn't feel annoyed by Grey's words, rather, he looked outside.

"You're the only one who has been able to reach this place for years. You're quite capable." The old man was in the same sitting position.

He didn't seem agitated as Grey presumed, instead, he was unusually calm.

"Are you the owner of that tree?" Grey asked.

The old man nodded.

"It has caused severe damage to my friend's consciousness, I'll need the fruit it bore." Grey said coolly.

The old man raised a brow when he heard Grey's words.

"You want the fruit I've been nurturing for years?" He couldn't help but ask.

For the first time, there was a slight change in his expression. What he found more amusing was Grey's audacity. He didn't even want to pursue the matter of Grey wiping off his imprint from the array since it was a small matter, but the fruit that his entire life depended on, Grey wanted it? He couldn't keep calm any longer.

"Correct." Grey nodded.

"Hehe, I've never heard a joke in years. Kid, don't joke around, I might get annoyed." The old man laughed, to him, he just heard the funniest joke in years.
