Chapter 512: Leaving The Gale Region

Grey's battle in Ernst City quickly spread across the entire Gale region. An Elementalist who was still at the Peak of the Origin Plane, fought against hundreds of people, although not at the same time, but on the same day. He defeated every single person that fought against him. Even though he never fought against those in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, it didn't change the fact that in the battle, he never lost.

From the group of people he defeated, it was said that some top individuals in the geniuses rankings were among them, and the highest amongst the people he defeated was ranked twenty-ninth.

In the geniuses rankings, Petra was higher ranked than the young man Grey fought against last.

But the story of Grey's rise wasn't the only news that spread from Ernst City that day. All the big families reported that their treasury was raided, and what was more shocking was that the guards didn't get a single glimpse of the thief.

Given the time of the theft, some of the people speculated it might've been the work of Grey and the lady, while others felt the thief took advantage of the information of the battle being spread out, striking at the same time. All in all, they was just speculations, no one knew who the thief was, or where Grey and the lady were.

….

In a city thousands of kilometers away from Ernst City.

Grey and the lady could be seen sitting in an Inn, enjoying the tea they ordered.

"You've become a celebrity," The lady said when she heard people talking about Grey's performance, although they didn't know he was the one there.

Grey, who already had his mask back on, scoffed at this. He had never wanted things like this since he didn't enjoy being surrounded by people. Other than his friends, he didn't really enjoy the company of others.

If Klaus or Reynolds were to be the ones who people are speaking of like this, they would definitely try to find a way to make sure everyone knew they were the ones they were talking about.

"Are you like a sadist or something?" The lady asked when she saw Grey's reaction.

Most youngsters would be over the moon if they were this famous, and handsome. Yet Grey seems to see it as nothing more than a disturbance to his peaceful life. If not for the fact that she had confirmed that Grey was truly eighteen years old, she would've thought that he was an old monster who had lived thousands of years, so he's no longer bothered with the things of the mundane world.

"How far are we from the Polaris region?" Void asked while tasting the tea, he immediately spat it afterward.

Grey shook his head when he saw this, before taking out the map, "We still have a long way to go. Even if we continue using the teleportation array nonstop, it would still take us at least a month before we can get there,"

"That long?! How big is this place even?" Void asked, shocked.

They've traveled what seemed to be the equivalent of double the Qilin empire these past two weeks, yet, they would still need a month or so before getting there. And all this was with the help of teleportation arrays which made things easier.

Grey shrugged, not knowing what to say.

In these past weeks, he had been training diligently, focusing on increasing his elemental grades, as well as the strength of his body. He checked out the scroll the Pyro Faction Leader gave him, and it was a powerful fire attack.

He rarely used these types of skills when attacking, but they were more powerful compared to his impromptu attacks. The name of the technique was 'Dragon's Roar'.

When a Fire Elementalist uses the attack, a faint shadow of a Dragon would appear on their back, made entirely of elemental essence, it would open its mouth to spit out a powerful stream of flames that had tremendous destructive power.

Grey had been practicing for quite some time now, but he hadn't been able to fully master it.

The lady had been impressed with Grey's learning speed so far given how quickly he manages to learn new skills. She had also noticed he seemed to be obsessed with arrays, always trying to figure out ways to decipher anyone he sees.

Grey had finally managed to summon the confidence to ask her of her name, it was Sylvia.

When Grey heard her name, his thoughts were 'For someone who bullies people, you have a nice name'. But of course, these were his thoughts. If he dared to voice it out then Sylvia would most likely beat the crap out of him.

….

"This is the border of the Gale region, once we leave this place, then we'll be entering the Acer region. They're around the same level as the Gale region," Sylvia said.

"Wait, we're still in the Gale region?" Void asked.

"Yes, are you two from a forest hidden somewhere or something?" Sylvia asked, staring at the two suspiciously.

"You could say that," Grey replied, not saying anything more.

"Hmm," Sylvia put on a thoughtful expression.

"We should leave, I still have a long way to go," Grey picked up his tea before taking a sip.

Sylvia and Void nodded, after a few minutes sitting in the Inn, the trio left, heading towards the teleportation array in the city.

On the way, Grey heard of youths who were speaking of wanting to challenge him, saying the geniuses he defeated were weak. He couldn't help but do a double-take on them, and most of them were still in the Origin Plane.

Even though he wasn't interested in his newfound fame, he still enjoyed testing out his strength. Especially now that he had improved since the battle.

The battle had helped him refine his skills even more, while also giving him better control over his essence.. If he were to fight with the young man who had an Elemental Warrior again, he was confident in winning without being left in a wrecked state.
