Chapter 1464 No Treasures, Just Responsibilities

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Void took a look at Eisendrache and without hesitation, he teleported him into the spatial storage.

'So easy. I wonder why he's able to bend the rules of space to his favor and I can't.' Grey pouted as he thought.

This was something he has never been able to understand. Void and the bunny leader were able to access his spatial storage and even that of others they are stronger than, yet he couldn't. They could even enter and actively stay there, but Grey couldn't bring in living beings, except on a few occasions like the triplets from the horned race.

"Hey, why can't I do this and you can?" He couldn't help but ask.

Void shrugged as if saying he had no idea and before Grey could speak, he disappeared.

Grey could only watch him leave with veins almost popping on the side of his head. Since Void broke through, he had been very cocky.

He sighed and muttered, "I need to break through."

After looking at the place, other than the egg, there was nothing left. Thinking about it, he picked up the egg shells and threw them into his spatial ring. These were the shells of a Dragon, of course they might be special. He didn't know if there was nothing special about them, he was just going to keep it for the time being.

After a while, he looked around, since there was nothing to do, and he already had a means to increase his domain. Of course, it wasn't a hundred percent certain, but he felt the chances were high, so he decided to study the technique Melmera passed on to him.

The technique involved the delicate use of the dragon scales. According to it, it's a means of deflecting attacks coming his way without having to expend too much energy. All he needed to do was to vibrate his scales in a certain manner and towards a certain direction and each attack sent at him would be deflected.

This doesn't mean he could deflect all attacks, just the ones within his capabilities. If he were to be attacked by some Late stage Venerables and he used this technique, he should be able to deflect the attack. But Late stage Venerables like Alice and Reynolds were not added to this mix.

People like those two possessed a stronger attack power compared to normal Late stage Venerables. But in general, with this technique, he could easily stroll into a crowd of Late stage Venerables without having to defend against their attacks.

'Pretty cool'

He soon started to practice the technique, but as time went on he realized it was very difficult to achieve. This was something that involved moving all the scales which were supposed to be on his body. There were hundreds of scales on his body, and he needed to control each of them in perfect synchronization.

Controlling one proved difficult after a few hours and he could only give up with a shake of his head. He was a fool to think a technique passed on by a Dragon would be easy to practice.

'I should get going, there might be other opportunities for me outside.'

This generally wasn't a great opportunity, yes, he had a Dragon, but he couldn't extract Eisendrache's blood essence without his permission. It was safe to say that as long as Eisendrache didn't agree to it, he couldn't have some of the much desired blood essence.

Rather than getting an opportunity, he got a young Dragon he had to be responsible for instead.

Grey scanned the place one more time, and after confirming there was nothing present, he dived into the pool, swimming towards the surface of the lake.

….

Time went by and it has been over two days since they came here.

"Why am I so unfortunate?" Grey sighed when he looked at the item in front of him.

A great treasure was born in the woods, but it was practically useless to him. One of the things he hated about his new strength was the fact that it was getting harder to see things that could quickly increase his strength, unlike when he was in lower levels.

His mind went to Keith and he could only pass on this chance to him. However, Keith was the person leading the group and he didn't want to interfere with their expedition.

"He's smart, he wouldn't tell others I'm keeping watch." He said and went over to the group.

Void was bored from watching them and was playing with a black orb that was causing the space around him to crack. When Grey arrived, he felt his heart palpitate when he saw that orb. The orb was strong enough to kill him, this wasn't something he doubted.

"Fuck! Put that thing away!" He yelled from a distance.

"Relax, it's not dangerous." Void said while playing like a normal house cat as he hit the orb which was tied to a string.

Grey felt his heart beat faster with his hit Void gave the orb. If that orb fell to the ground, at least an entire kilometer or two would disappear from the face of the world, and Grey wasn't exaggerating.

"Put it away, please. I don't want any incidents." Grey could only say with a soft voice.

If he had the strength to stop this, he wouldn't be scared, but he didn't, and there's a chance Void's casual nonchalance might come.

Void grumpily put the orb away before asking, "What do you want? Didn't you say you're searching for opportunities?"

"I saw something I want to give to Keith." Grey pointed in Keith's direction.

"Oh, him. He's been doing pretty well. He has already fought off two Peak Rank Six Magical Beasts and won." Void recalled who Keith was.

"Good, this is a chance for him to get to the Venerable Plane." Grey nodded.

"I thought you didn't want them to know we're here?" Void asked.

"He's not going to tell anyone about it." Grey didn't see any problems with this.

He quickly sent a transmission to Keith telling him to move away from the group.
