Chaos Battlefield.
Grey appeared in what could be said to be a wasteland, the sky was reddish like it was sunset, but he knew otherwise, there was a great sll of death lingering in the air and he felt a bit oppressed the mont he stepped foot into the place.
He was currently standing in a temple, almost similar to the one he used in getting into the place, but this temple looked like it had been built for hundreds of thousands of years, unlike the other one.
The youths from the Dawson Family who had entered the place were already heading down the temple.
The supposed forest that surrounded the hill the temple was situated on was burnt up, however, it didn't look like sothing that had been done within the past years.
Grey looked at it curiously, in his world, this forest would have already started to regrow after so ti, but the trees were still in their burnt state and hadn't changed one bit. According to the information he got from his Grandfather, they had been like this from the ti they started coming here, thousands of years ago.
"Hmm, I guess this trip won't be easy." He muttered to himself.
The son of the Family Head was not close by, so he guessed he must have left with the others. They could all tell that there was a small rift between Grey and the young man, so everyone felt it would be better if they were separated. Grey's Grandfather felt the sa way too.
Void and the bunny leader appeared and looked around.
The bunny leader looked at the place with a long and desolate look, it seed to be lost in thought as it saw the place.
"Let's go, there are a lot of places I would like to see. This world is such a big place and I have so little ti." Grey started to descend the mountain.
The bunny leader was snapped back to reality when Grey moved and its eyes shown with brilliance.
The climb down was easy, he tried flying and noticed it was possible. His Grandfather had already told him of it, but he wanted to check if there were any restrictions. The reason people didn't fly here was simple: don't attract attention.
This place is ho to multiple races, so had adapted to the place that even if they were to head back to their original world, they would be almost unrecognizable from the others. There are also humans here who have adapted to the place. It was a place of survival of the fittest, compared to places like the Aurora Continent, this place was far more brutal.
It could be likened to the Magical Beasts' kingdom where death is common due to the slightest conflict.
Grey and his two little companions could be killed here, after all, there are Elental Sovereigns present in this place.
As dangerous as the place sounds, it was also ho to tons of rare treasures. Before leaving, Grey's father transmitted a ssage to him, telling him there's a flower he can find here that might be able to help Arya's brother. He even told him the region the plant is commonly seen in the Chaos Battlefield.
Looking at the map he got from his Grandfather, Grey knew heading there was not the wisest choice for now. He had to get the general knowledge of the place first before taking any action.
'Let's go here.' The bunny leader pointed at a spot in the map while Grey was looking at it.
"Oh, is there sothing there?" Grey looked at the spot curiously. He didn't know much about the bunny leader and was quite curious about it.
It seems like the bunny leader had been here before given how it quickly pointed out the place they should head to. Of course, he can't be sure, but since the bunny leader could go from the Trial Land to the secret realm where the Twilight Faction was located, there is no ruling out the chances of it coming here too.
'There most definitely is.' The bunny leader nodded.
Grey didn't ask any more questions and headed in the direction the bunny leader pointed him. Void and the bunny leader were quite good with getting treasures, he still hadn't been able to get so of the treasures they took from the Twilight Faction from them, so he hoped to get so good things here.
The place they were headed was not by any ans close to their current location, it should take at least two weeks or so before they got there.
This place was not good, so they were given a maximum of a year to spend there. After one year, they must leave the place, or else they too would start adapting to it. It's not a bad thing, per se, but it's not necessarily a good thing either. Once an Elentalist has adapted to this place, they would have difficulties with absorbing the essence from the natural world.
Their connections with the origin source will be destroyed, and once that happens, there is no going back. This is the reason why there are multiple races here, so got too greedy and refused to leave after seeing the treasures, while so were victims of circumstances.
….
A few days passed in a blink.
Grey was currently seated on a tree branch, staring at the group in front of him.
They were like humans, but with pointed ears and a distinctive well-chiseled face, they had extraordinarily long hair, and tails, yes, tails. Not just that, but they were larger than humans, at least almost twice the usual size of a human.
This was the first ti he was seeing such a race.
These people were speaking in a language he did not understand.
After studying them for a little longer, he left. Since communication would be hard due to the language barrier, it was best not to have anything with them.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw one of them weave certain signs with a golden light in his hand. The sign was turned into a large seal that shockingly turned into a large creature.
The creature seed to co to life and moved around. The creature was like a snake, only it had legs, curved horns, and extrely sharp teeth.
Grey couldn't help but pause and marvel at the sight of it. If not for seeing it with his eyes, he would've thought it was a true Magical Beast.
He was quite curious about the golden light in the hand of the figure who made the beast. First off, he didn't sense anything from it other than its uniqueness. There was no form of energy on it, so he didn't think too much of it, it was only after the seal turned into a beast did he see the wonder the light possessed.
'I need to learn that!' He exclaid internally.
He didn't even care about the language barrier at the mont, he wanted to learn how the figure did that thing. Not just that, but what power lies within the golden light.
Void couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, he knew with Grey's personality of always wanting to learn new things, he would not leave this place until he succeeds, unless sothing unforeseen happens, Grey was going nowhere.
The beast that appeared from the seal attacked one of the figures there and the figure looked to be male, well, Grey didn't know how to distinguish them since they all had the sa body shape.
The figure fought vigorously with the beast and won in the end after creating a golden sword. Once again, it used the energy Grey was unfamiliar with.
'Could this have sothing to do with this world?' Grey thought to himself.
There was a huge possibility that this was unique to this world alone. If that was the case, then it would be difficult for him to learn it.
Nevertheless, he was not going to give up until he at least attempted it. Giving up on learning sothing so intriguing was not in his nature.
Void took the bunny leader and decided to explore the area around this place. This group they saw here only consisted of a few individuals, Grey wanted to know if this was all, of course, he was almost certain this was just a small batch of them.
A few hours later, he got his answer from Void. So apparently, the group only consisted of males, when he saw the females he realized it was easy to differentiate them. Just like humans, the females had notable features to separate them.
Grey started stalking the group he encountered, the only reason was because he sensed that they were only in the Sage Plane. The thought of capturing them had co to mind, but he decided against it. He knew nothing about them, and even the information provided to him didn't have anything on them. There was no way they would record all the races present. The information only told him about the notable ones to avoid.
