Chapter 1470  Heading Into Seclusion With A Goal

Time slowly went by and a few weeks passed within the blink of an eye.contemporary romance

During the past weeks, Grey had been on a killing spree, taking out any of the Magical Beasts involved in the attack on Melmera. To a certain degree, it caused an uproar in the Magical Beasts' kingdom since a human was going about killing some Magical Beasts, but after careful thoughts, they realized there was something strange about the Beasts being killed, they all had a link, and that was working for a certain figure that was close to the inner court.

It's common for those powerful figures in the inner court to have Magical Beasts outside doing some of their bidding, but when all those affiliated to a certain power start to get killed and the word traitor branded on their bodies, it means that something happened behind the scenes that prompted these killings.

Grey couldn't be bothered with what was going through the heads of those in the tribes he had attacked, but he knew one thing for sure, the last three people were proving very difficult to deal with. The reason for this was because they were all in the same place and seldom moved alone. All three were also at the Peak of the Seventh Rank, and he couldn't take all of them out with a single blow.

The best chance was by getting one of them out, after incapacitating it, he would put it under his control and trick the others out of the tribe. His efforts during the past few days however have been futile.

Eight Beasts attacked Melmera in total, and he had killed five who were in different tribes. He's left with these three, but they were cautious given the fact that Grey's attacks on the other tribes had been made known to most of the Beasts in this area. At the moment, most of the tribes are aware of the attacks.

Grey waited patiently for the time to come. Seeing that it would take longer than expected, he decided to try to absorb the blood essence of the Cat. If he's lucky, he might be able to awaken his wind domain which will be a massive step for him. If he's not, there would be no changes.

With his current cultivation stage, it was difficult for him to level up with just this blood essence. If the blood essence was from a legendary beast, then there was a good chance he would be able to break through with its help, but with the current level of the beast, awakening his domain was all he had in his mind.

Grey was about to start the process when he received word from Void, the group was about to leave.

He stopped and looked in the direction of the tribe he camped at the perimeters. He could only sigh as he gave up. He didn't want to leave any of them alive, but since there was nothing he could do about it, he had no other option but to leave.

Grey headed back to the outer regions of the forest to meet up with Void and the others. As he went further away from the depths of the forest, he noticed the decline in the quality of the essence.

"Shame humans don't have the same privileges.'

Compared to humans, the Magical Beasts have a better training environment. Of course, those in the inner region and inner court have it better, but even the area that housed Rank Six Beasts has a better essence than most places. Only top Factions and Families can rival these places. The essence in the Dawson Family and that of the Pyrmond Faction were ahead of even the outer regions of the tribe area in the depths of the forest, but Grey wasn't sure if it would be on the same level as the inner court.

The more he thought about the inner court, the greater his curiosity towards it. If the opportunity arises, he will surely visit it someday.

….

"What have you been doing?" Void asked when Grey appeared.

"Nothing important." Grey shrugged his shoulders before looking at the group, Keith wasn't the only one heading back with a big boost, one more person broke to the Elemental Venerable Plane, and from what Grey knew, this guy had been at the Peak of the Sage Plane for over seven years. At the time Grey came to the Pyrmond Faction, this person was at the Peak.

"At least they grew, unlike me who got a Dragon instead." He murmured before moving with the group.

Void perched on Grey's shoulder as they escorted the group back to the Faction.

If anyone heard Grey's statement, they would definitely try to end his life. Grey treated a Dragon as if it wasn't important. What was worse was that this Dragon had a pure Dragon bloodline which makes its potential limitless, yet Grey didn't see anything with it.

It was strange how Grey didn't care about things that will make others close to the verge of madness.

….

The journey to the forest was uneventful, and so was the one back.

The group wasn't attacked by anyone above their league, therefore, Grey's intervention wasn't needed. In the end, if he hadn't assisted Keith, he wouldn't have done anything for the group during the journey.

After they got back to the Faction ground, Grey went to report to the Faction Leader, at least he didn't need to bother about any more missions for the meantime.

He wasn't held back by the Faction Leader, nor was he given another task. The Faction Leader acknowledged his task before dismissing him.

Grey went straight to his building and activated his array. With the array active, no one would disturb him unless it is a matter of life and death.

His first objective was awakening one more domain, if the blood essence doesn't work, he has another alternative. Once he had awakened another domain, his next target was breaking through to the Elemental Sovereign Plane. This was his aim, and he plans to achieve it.
