Chapter 702 - Miasma

Klaus and the others overheard the conversations between Camille and the young man and couldn't help but chuckle. Although Grey rarely did things like this, it didn't mean he didn't do them.

In the group, only Klaus had a talisman that belonged to a Sage Plane expert, so he could be said to have the highest security among them.

Grey couldn't defeat the beast chasing him, so he placed the load on the young man's head. After the young man dealt with the beast, he came back and collected the item he left with him.

Kyle shook his head when he heard this story. He never thought that Grey would do something like this. From how annoyed the young man looked, he was sure that if the young man saw him now, he would try everything in his power to kill him.

Unfortunately for everyone, Grey hadn't even made any movement in the mansion. He was still seated in a cross-legged position with the orb in his hand. Unknown to him, he was slowly absorbing the orb.

He was still stuck in the strange space, and even after walking for who knows how long, he managed to locate a hill. With nothing left to do, he tried comprehending the elements, but he was unable to sense them.

Even with his high cultivation stage, he still wasn't able to sense any element, except for the space element.

Grey managed to sense the space element after a few hours of trying, but he was still unable to leave the space his consciousness was stranded in.

With nothing left to do, he tried comprehending the space element since it was the only thing he could do.

While he was stuck in the mansion, his body was being ravaged by the miasma as soon as it returned to the mansion. Normally, it wouldn't really affect him, but since the orb was working on the strange orb he got, it couldn't help him.

After the mansion was covered by the miasma, those around it started retreating. Grey's friends weren't an exception. They couldn't take the risk of being touched by the miasma since it was extremely dangerous. Grey, who was the only one who could help them, was currently stuck in a mansion filled with miasma.

The group could only retreat along with the others. Most of the people around started to leave. Since the group was hidden, most of Klaus and Reynolds' enemies left without finding them.

A few tried to locate them when they left the mansion, but after multiple days, they gave up, thinking the duo had left the surrounding area.

One week later.

"We should stay in the city not too far from here. Once he returns, then he'll search for us." Klaus suggested.

Staying here would be boring and tiring. It was best if they went to the city where they could experience things. Even if they didn't experience something new, it wouldn't change much.

Grey continued sitting cross-legged in the strange space, trying to see if there was a way he could connect to the space element.

In the blink of an eye, two more weeks went by with Grey still stuck in the mansion. If not for Void reassuring the group that he was still alive, they would've thought maybe something bad had happened to him.

They stayed in the city close to the mansion. Kyle felt leaving would make the group take him in a bad light, so he didn't leave. Since the group trusted Void's words, then he would wait as well.

Two more weeks went by before Grey's motionless figure opened his eyes.

After staying in the mansion for a month without any protection against the miasma, his body dried, almost to the same level as a dead person.

When he saw his appearance, he was shocked. Only after he realized that he was slowly healing did he calm down.

'I can't leave this place like this.' He thought as he entered the miasma.

He waited for a few days to recover from being infected by the miasma. After almost a week, he returned back to his original state. If it were before, it would've taken him at least a month or so before he recovered, but for some reason, he was able to heal quickly.

'Miasma. Who would've thought that someone would be able to wield it without these places.' Grey thought as he looked around him.

The strange place his consciousness was stuck in was actually where he could understand miasma. With this, he didn't need to fear any miasma in the Azure or Aurora Continent.

Miasmas were extremely dangerous, and would only form in places filled with the darkness element. This was all on the premise that the Darkness Elementalist uses his power in the same place. This would increase the chances of a miasma forming, and also increase the strength of said miasma.

In the instances of such cases, even people without the space or darkness element could escape from this place. Although it was a little difficult, it was not impossible.

A few days later.

Grey left the mansion and walked deeper into the miasma. He had managed to recover his strength and didn't look to be in danger of exposure to the miasma any longer, so he tried to explore this place. Maybe he could obtain some rare treasures deep in this place.

After walking for almost four hours, he left the compound without finding anything. He continued his search, and after three more hours, he was unable to get anything.

This place wasn't like other places. Because of the excess darkness element in the air, it was impossible to sense time, and those affected by it couldn't sense that they had ventured this deep into the place.

Grey was busy searching for the center of the place, while his friends were enjoying their time in the city close to this place. There were a few people who wanted to try and see if they could acquire the technique about miasmas, but they were unable to meet the requirements.
