Chapter 1183 An Expedition With Jonas

Grey didnʼt care about where Void and the bunny leader went to, he knew nothing would happen to them, at worst they would be sent out of the place and would wait for him outside. 

After walking to the shelf that had the herbs sign, he started to go through all the herbs that were placed there. To be honest, he was very impressed and also stunned by the number of items present there. Some of them he had no knowledge of, while a few were things he had seen or read about. 

He glanced through and soon found what he was looking for. The flower had an odd-looking fruit. The fruit had the shape of a babyʼs head, but without eyes. Although it was an odd item, it didnʼt stop him from marveling at the item. 

He wanted to take it but knew that the second he removed this item, he would be sent out of this place. Thinking about it, he decided to glance through all the things that were present here. Since Void and the bunny leader were able to enter, maybe they can take some items out as well. 

Things like these usually have flaws that can be taken advantage of. 

ʼYou guys didnʼt touch anything, right?ʼ He asked while leaving the area where he was standing. 

Voidʼs voice echoed in his head, ʼWe canʼt.ʼ 

Grey was a bit disappointed, but since he could take what he wanted in the first place, he didnʼt think too much about it. 

It took a few minutes, but he was able to go through all the items in this place. Although there were many items, it wasnʼt hard since they were well arranged. 

….

Outside the place. 

Jonas was starting to get a little worried when Grey walked out of the Hall. 

”Got it?” He asked to be sure Grey was able to take what he wanted. There was something in there he also wanted, if by any chance Grey didnʼt see what he wanted, it would be a huge loss for him. 

”Yeah, I was just sightseeing, hence my delay.” Grey nodded. 

Jonas heaved a sigh of relief before the duo headed back to his place. At the moment, he already had ninety wins, two more days and he would leave this place.

”Why donʼt you wait for me before leaving, I have a place I want to explore, I was unable to the last time I went there. I believe with you, we can get something.” Jonas spoke up when they got to his place. 

The reason he hastily did this was that he noticed Grey was already preparing to leave. 

Before coming here, while exploring this place, there was a sight he chanced upon, unfortunately, he was unable to explore it. He doesnʼt know what it holds, but he believes it would be beneficial to both of them. 

Besides, it wouldnʼt be bad to travel with Grey. He personally believes Grey is someone heavily favored. 

Grey thought about it and gave a nod. Since Jonas was taking the normal route, it would take at most two days before he completes his hundred wins and leaves. 

Jonas was happy seeing that Grey agreed to go with him. 

….

Three days later. 

”Damn it! How did it awaken the moment we arrived?! I thought they said it usually sleeps during this period!” Jonas complained as he ran through the woods, sending out attacks to the large creature behind him. 

Greyʼs expression was sour as he also attacked. He had always believed his luck wasnʼt as good as Klausʼ. This was not the first time he was experiencing things like this and after multiple experiences, he was quite experienced in escaping. 

He didnʼt say anything and attacked as they ran away from the creature. 

Roar! 

The beast seemed to be angered by their continuous attacks on it as it chased them. It opened its mouth, wider than over three meters and sucked in. 

All the trees in the area were sucked in its direction, losing their energy. 

When Grey and Jonas saw this, they felt a chill down their spines and increased their speeds. 

Only after a few more minutes of running did the beast finally give up since they were no longer in its territory. 

The duo stopped running and started to pant, trying to regain their breaths. 

”That beast is crazy.” Jonas commented as they watched the beast walk back. 

What they found annoying is the fact that they were not the only ones passing that area at that time, but they were the ones it chose to chase. 

”Can we go around it?” Grey asked. 

He was quite curious about the place Jonas wanted them to head to.

”Yes, but it will take longer. Taking the risk of entering its territory again wouldnʼt be wise.” Jason replied. 

”We can go round, thereʼs no rush.” Grey said. 

The beast was already close to breaking through to Rank Eight, unless he had the Fusion State, he didnʼt want to have any thing to do with such a Magical Beast. 

Jason had no problems with what he said and showed him the way. 

….

The duo had to go around the Beastʼs territory and before long, they soon got to their destination. 

The place was like a cave, but it had a large door at the front of it. 

”Did you go past this place?” Grey asked. 

”Yes, there is a certain array here, but it wears off after a few days.” Jonas replied, he looked at it and said, ”In about two days time it would be open for us to go in.” 

Grey nodded and sat down, studying the array set on the place. This array was a first of its kind and he was very curious about how it was set up. He studied it for the two days they sat outside and Jonas was unable to speak to him when he saw him in a meditative state. 

It was only after the door opened did he open his eyes. 

”Such a complex array, once I can master how itʼs made, I can create a powerful array.” He muttered to himself. 

Jonas didnʼt heat what he said since he was more concerned about entering the place. 

The door was pushed open by him since they were the only people present there and they walked into the place. 

They were met with a long passageway, but after walking for a few minutes, they saw its end. 

Grey saw it and asked, ”Do we also have to wait?” 

”No, weʼll be able to clear it soon.” 

The second after Jonas finished his statement, some creatures appeared in the place. 

”Thatʼs our challenge. Itʼs not much of an issue and Iʼve passed this place before.” He said when the creatures appeared. 

Grey looked at the creatures and nodded. They were all in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

In a matter of a minute or so, they were able to easily deal with them. 

”The next round wouldnʼt be an issue as well. What Iʼm concerned about is the fourth round. I ended there and was unable to get past it even after almost a week.” Jonas said. 

”Oh, whatʼs there?” Grey asked, curiously. 

”Youʼll see when we get there. Donʼt get me wrong, as long as weʼre together, we can handle it.” Jonas said. 

Grey looked at him for a while, and thinking of the fact that he left the place, he didnʼt speak too much. 

”Alright, letʼs get to work.” 

The duo started to pass through each stage with much ease. 

After almost one hour, they appeared on the fourth stage. 

When Grey arrived, he understood why Jonas asked him to come with him. This place, they had to defeat three opponents that were two stages ahead of the person with the highest stage there. If they had more numbers, they wouldnʼt have any issues, but they were only two, so they had to fight three opponents with the strength of a Sixth and Fifth stage Elemental Venerable, while fighting against three Eighth stage Elemental Venerables.

”Can you manage?” Jonas asked. 

”Donʼt worry, itʼs not much of an issue.” Grey answered.

Jonas heaved a sigh of relief before charging into battle. 

Grey didnʼt hold back and fought against them as well. He didnʼt go all-out. Although he didnʼt have any issues with Jonas, he still preferred keeping must of his abilities to himself. 

He only used the orb he used when fighting against the young man with fish face. 

After a long battle, the duo defeated their opponents and were soon free to head to the next stage. 

”Iʼm not aware of what is coming next, I ended here the last time. So weʼre going there blinded.” Jonas said after they defeated them. 

”Okay, Iʼll try my best. If we canʼt defeat them, we should just give up.” Grey said. 

Jonas had no issues with what he said and they soon went on to the next stage.
