Chapter 448: Ellis’ Departure II

“Phew… This thing is amazing! I never thought I’d find it here,” Ellis took a deep breath before breathing out in pleasure.

“Thanks for this, it’s really very useful,” Ellis said before giving Grey what was left in the vial.

Grey took the vial back, and looking at it, more than half of the healing tonic was left in the vial.

“Wait, that’s enough?” He asked with a weird face.

“Of course! As much as a small drop should be enough to heal most injuries, if not because my injuries were affected by the elements of the beasts, I wouldn’t dare to use that much,” Ellis replied.

After speaking out, he realized Grey had a weird expression on his face, and he couldn’t help but feel his heart sink.

“You use the entire bottle?” He asked with a small voice.

His feminine voice made the situation funny due to how serious his expression was.

“Actually, why don’t we change the subject?” Grey asked.

Ellis tripped on seeing how Grey dodged the question, his face losing color.

“Such a valuable substance and you’re wasting it?” He sat down on the ground in a dejected manner.

Even for someone like him, he wouldn’t dare to use the tonic from a Blooming Viper in such a wasteful manner. Even his father wouldn’t dare to use it in such a manner.

Seeing Ellis’ expression, Grey couldn’t help but wear an embarrassed smile. He couldn’t be blamed for how they used the tonic since they didn’t know how much would be enough. If not for Void, they wouldn’t have gotten it, and even Void didn’t know the quantity that would be enough to heal them.

“Forget about it, so, have you made up your mind about leaving this place with me?” Ellis asked with a depressed look.

“I can’t leave with you. As much as I would like to go to that place, there are some things I really need to take care of here first,” Grey replied.

“A shame,” Ellis shook his head before adding, “We would’ve been able to get what you want so easily,”

Grey felt tempted when he heard this, but he decided he would focus on searching for his parents now, if he couldn’t find them, then he would leave this place and head over to the continent Ellis spoke about.

“Can you show me where the array is located? There’s a chance I might leave soon,” He asked.

“Sure,” Ellis nodded before taking flight and moving in one direction.

A few seconds later, Ellis appeared once again.

“Sorry, I forgot you were still in the Origin Plane,” He scratched his head awkwardly.

He used an arm made of water to grab hold of Grey before shooting into the sky. They headed towards the deeper parts of the forest.

Grey could barely keep a good view of his surroundings. He couldn’t help but wonder how powerful Ellis was. The speed they were currently moving at is faster than when he was using the Great Void technique while in the Fusion State. This confirmed his theory that it would be impossible for him to escape from the old man if he were not busy.

Twenty minutes later.

Ellis appeared in front of a mansion. Grey stared at the building in shock, he could feel a strong sense of dread from it, almost like the building could instantly kill him.

“There’s an array here that will instantly attack beasts. Of course it’s a different thing if the beast is with a person. There are naturally powerful beasts that can’t be bothered with the array if they really want to step in here. Fortunately, there are no treasures in the building, so there’s no use for them to step inside the building,” Ellis explained.

“How did you know this if you only found out about it?” Grey asked suspiciously.

“Oh, it was written somewhere in the building, also, the array is so profound even for me. Please, no matter what you do, don’t try to study it,” Ellis warned.

He had seen how Grey acts whenever he comes in contact with a new array so he quickly warned before it was too late.

Grey suddenly froze when he heard this, the truth was, he had already spread out his spiritual senses, trying to decipher the array.

He quickly withdrew his spiritual senses before asking, “Do I look like someone who’s that careless?”

“In other things, no, but in arrays you have no clue about, yes, yes you do,” Ellis replied with a straight face.

Grey shrugged before looking around, he couldn’t believe there was someone who would build something like this in such a place.

On their way here, he was surprised they didn’t really go too deep into that forest, rather, they headed more towards the east.

The beasts here were still in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane though, so journeying here on his own would be incredibly difficult.

“You said you’ve been here for a while now, are the beasts usually this powerful in this area?” Grey asked.

“Powerful? Not really, but from what I found out some days ago, something major is happening deep in the forest, this was why the weaker beasts had to move to the outer perimeters of the forest. It should end in a few days or so, the forest will return to its previous state,” Ellis explained with his hand on his chin.

“That’s better then, if the beasts are only in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane, although it would be a little difficult, I wouldn’t have any problems with getting here,” Grey heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hmm, okay. Here’s a map, I marked all the areas I’ve traveled searching for that pond. I also marked areas where some slightly powerful beasts are located, of course they can kill you with a blink of their eyes, so no matter what you do, do not head in that direction,” Ellis passed a map to Grey while telling him about all the places he marked.
