Chapter 1468 Abominable Act

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Grey and Keith continued talking for a while before Grey took him back. Keith was the leader of the group yet he had been away for quite some time, and it was best to send him back to the others.

When they returned, the others couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Keith. Some moments ago he was at the Peak of the Sage Plane. He walked out and came back after some time and he was already in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. This was something that was unbelievable if they didn't experience it.

One thing they found shocking was the fact that Keith didn't cause any commotion as he broke through. Even though it could be controlled, they should still be able to at least sense it. However, they didn't sense anything, rather Keith walked out from where he hid as a First stage Elemental Venerable.

Grey watched the entire scene from the sky before smiling to Void, "See how nice it is to help friends."

Void didn't show much reaction on his face, only taking a glance at Keith's expression before looking away.

"When are we leaving?" He asked tiredly.

"They'll be here for a while." Grey replied, after watching Keith for a while he said, "I'm heading deeper."

"If I contact you know I'm in trouble." He added before disappearing.

He wanted to head to the side that had Rank Eight Magical Beasts. If he were to be sensed by any of them, he would be in serious trouble, this was not something he wanted for himself.

Void could only complain after Grey left him to babysit the group who came into the forest.

….

On Grey's end, he was very careful with his movement as he moved into the area he knew belonged to those Rank Eight Magical Beasts.

These beasts wouldn't think twice before taking his life. The Dragon blood essence in his body would make him easily noticeable by other Dragons, but he didn't have to fear being sensed by these other Beasts.

Unlike the Rank Seven Magical Beasts area of the forest, this area had tribes. Each Magical Beasts were part of a tribe and there was a clear hierarchy. The tribes had outer and inner areas. The weaker beasts are in the outer areas while the stronger ones are in the inner area. Beasts born in the inner area of these tribes usually possess top tier bloodlines of their respective species.

Grey arrived on the perimeter of one of these tribes, searching the memories he was impacted by Melmera, he knew this was the Lizard tribe.

Only special Magical Beasts like Dragons and other legendary Magical Beasts have multiple tribes in the inner part of the forest which is referred to as the inner court amongst these lower leveled beasts. Each type of Lizard species resides in the Lizard tribe.

"If I recall correctly, she was attacked by one guy from the Lizard race who was promised some benefits." Grey murmured to himself.

He didn't know the benefits the Lizard was promised, but it was something that should be worth it since it dared to attack a Dragon.

After thinking about it, he decided to take the risk. The Lizard was one of the weakest Magical Beasts who attacked Melmera, and was injured during the fight. Even though it had been weeks ago, Melmera believed it would still be hurt, and so did Grey.

He traveled through the outer regions of the tribe in a very cautious manner. If his aura was sensed here, then he was doomed. Even Void would have a difficult time taking him out of this place.

He sneaked through the place, escaping from the senses of the Lizards guarding the place. Most of the Lizards were in the Sixth Rank, but he occasionally saw a few in the Early stages of the Seventh Rank.

It took a while, but he soon saw a Lizard that fit the image of the Lizard in Melmera's memory. All he needed to do was to take it out of this place and interrogate it.

He didn't only want to interrogate it, but he also wanted to see if there was anything worth taking in the outer regions. Most of the Lizards in the inner region wouldn't take some treasures in the outer region seriously.

It took a few hours, but he managed to follow the Lizard until it was alone before appearing. According to the memory of Melmera, the Lizard was in the seventh stage of Rank Seven. The Lizard before Grey was indeed in the seventh stage of Rank Seven, and he could also sense remnant aura from Melmera's essence. As someone who had seen Melmera's essence, he could catch the aura no matter how small it was.

Without hesitation, he took the Lizard and disappeared from the place, moving to the perimeters of the tribe.

The Lizard didn't panic when it saw the change in scenery. It felt since it wasn't killed by the first attack, it meant the person wanted it alive.

Grey didn't speak much, only asking the vital question, "How did you get injured?"

The Lizard looked at him, and after seeing his eyes and sensing the killing intent, he didn't hide anything from him. When Grey was serious, it was very easy to scare anyone before him. This Lizard was the same, it didn't even have the chance to say anything before it was filled with dread. Grey let it speak after his short intimidation.

"Oh, so you attacked a Dragon. How bold of you." Grey praised sarcastically.

The Lizard dropped its head, given the normal hierarchy, it shouldn't have dared to attack a Dragon, but the chance of acquiring a Dragon blood from the tribe leader was too thrilling to let go. No Lizard would dare to let go of such a chance. Only those honorable Lizards wouldn't dare to attack Dragons, but most Snakes and Lizards wouldn't think twice, especially when the risk is nonexistent.

From what it was offered, there was no risk factor in the plan.

"Well, looks like I'm here to make you pay for your crime."
