Chapter 374: Changed Lightning Region

“Goodbye, Grey. Hope to see you guys sooner,” Reynolds waved at Grey as he watched the array lightning up.

With a bright flash, the light peaked before going down as quickly as it peaked.

After the light died down, Reynolds was the only one left in the cave. This was the first time he was seeing this outside the trial land, well, he didn’t really see much of this in the trial land, so he was quite fascinated with what he saw.

‘Luckily, Grey’s my friend.’ He thought to himself.

The lines of the array soon disappeared, like they were never there. According to Grey, he did this so that others wouldn’t be aware of the array’s presence in the cave.

The people of the continent aren’t dumb, them being able to activate the array to the trial land which was more complex than his own showed that.

Reynolds decided to rest in the cave for two hours, after that, he left, heading for where next he might hear of a lightning element treasure. His new discovery of the fact that his Elemental Warrior could improve its strength was still shocking.

He planned to halt his own cultivation so that he could boost his Elemental Warrior to the Overlord Plane. Only then, will he be able to walk freely. But for the meantime, he would cultivate whenever he could since he knew such treasures couldn’t be found anywhere.

But if he ever finds any, he would be focusing them on his Elemental Warrior.

…..

In a cave, not too far from Frost City.

Array lines suddenly lit up, shocking the few small critters in the place. They looked at the place where the light was coming from, and Grey suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Grey looked around the cave, he knew there wouldn’t be any large beasts here, so he didn’t really find it surprising.

The small animals he saw in the cave were harmless, although they were magical beasts, they tended not to attack people.

The only thing was that they were squirrels. Grey had a thing against rat-type magical beasts after his encounter with those bunnies in the trial land.

It’s not that he was scared of them, he just didn’t like encountering them. They always remind him of that hateful bunny. He wasn’t scared of the other bunnies, but that bunny in particular, well, he doesn’t even think of it as a bunny anymore.

It’s quite surprising how someone like Grey who would charge into a horde of beasts fearlessly without thinking much about it, having such a deep-seated fear for such small animals because of a single bunny.

‘I better start going,’

Grey quickly disappeared from the cave, appearing outside the cave.

The teleportation from where he previously was to here took less than a minute or so. The space element sure makes moving easier, and better.

After leaving the cave, Grey observed the area properly.

‘Hmm, I haven’t even checked the elemental grade of my lightning element. We left hurriedly because of those people,’

Grey climbed up the hill where the cave was situated, after getting to the peak he sat down. The hill was only around fifty meters or so high, but he got a good view of the entire forest from there.

He sat down in a crossed leg position, then closed his eyes.

….

Chaos space.

Grey appeared in the Chaos Space, and the first thing he did was to go to the lightning region. He wanted to confirm something, if his deduction was correct, then it was a mind-blowing ability.

After getting there, he looked at the lightning region, wide-eyed.

The lightning region was currently separated into two, although merged, it was two separate things. The left part was filled with silver lightning dancing about, and on the right side, red lightning could be seen dancing.

There was a place where both lightnings merged.

With a curious expression on his face, Grey walked into the lightning region, half part of his body was in the silver lightning, while the other half was in the red lightning.

His body was struck with both lightning at the same time, and he could clearly feel the difference between both. The silver lightning had a better shocking ability than the red lightning, but the explosive power of the red lightning was far superior than that of the silver one.

Although the silver lightning had more electric power, the red lightning can cause burns faster than the silver one. It was quite strange, thinking about it. It was almost like it had more of a fire style than a lightning style.

Other than that, the red lightning was faster. This would greatly increase Grey’s already terrifying speed.

‘Can I use both lightnings at once? If I can, then that would be amazing,’

Grey soon disappeared from the lightning region, appearing at the top of the hill where the stone was located. He didn’t come here to comprehend his lightning element, he came to check its grade.

Once he was done with that, he would leave the Chaos space immediately, heading over to see Alice.

Since meeting up with Reynolds, he hadn’t spoken to her too frequently. He had been too focused on his training whenever he was free, and since Reynolds was speaking to her, she wasn’t really that lonely.

On appearing in the temple, he steadily walked to the small stone platform on it. The testing rock could be seen embedded on a small pillar.

Without wasting any time, he placed his right hand on the stone. And energy left the stone, running through Grey’s physical body, before returning to the stone.

Grey still hasn’t been able to comprehend how this thing works. This was clearly another space, and only his consciousness could enter this place, yet it is still able to interact with his physical body.

‘Maybe it’s because this space is in my body.’

Grey threw the thought to the back of his head, he would worry about it later. For now, he wanted to see the outcome of his lightning element’s elemental grade.

He curiously looked at the stone.
