Chapter 859 How's He So Lucky? After leaving, Grey didn't see a need to head back to the ceremony, however, he couldn't leave like that as well. 'I hate these things.' He couldn't help but complain. When he got back to the ceremony, the geniuses on the Sage Plane were still performing on the platform. He didn't say anything and sat down close to Alec who was still looking at him suspiciously. Alec sensible didn't speak of what happened nor did he ask why Grey suddenly disappeared. He noticed Grey wasn't the only one who disappeared, and that some of the Elders were gone as well. 'Hey, what happened?' Void asked when Grey came back. He tried to follow them, but he was knocked back by the person who created the spatial tunnel that sucked Grey in. Grey told Void about everything that occurred after he disappeared. 'Oh wow! The flame is gaining sentience? That's amazing!' Void exclaimed. With a sentient flame, Grey would have another means of attacking, just like Alice's Seelie, the only difference is that this flame is completely different. If Grey could nurture it and ensure that he had full control over it, then it would be very beneficial to him. 'Yeah, the Faction Leader sealed it to ensure that it doesn't grow to the stage where it will cause me any harm before I can control it.' Grey said to Void as he watched the ongoing battles. 'That's nice of him.' Void commented. They continued speaking and before they knew it, the geniuses on the Sage Plane were done displaying their moves, it was time for those in the Overlord Plane to show their skills. Grey was forced to step out since he was currently considered invincible in the Overlord Plane. In fact, those in the Pyrmond Faction were almost on the verge of tears that the usual competition between all Factions and Families in the Region was still a few years away, had it been now that they had a genius such as Grey, then he would've completely dominated the entire Overlord Plane battles. With his domain, who would dare to go against him while still being in the Overlord Plane? Grey didn't do too much though, after sparing with another Peak Overlord Plane Elementalist who didn't go for the competition, he returned to his seat. Everyone was impressed as they watched him battle. It was natural, with his present fame in the Faction, he could barely do any wrongs. In fact, just walking alone seems like a good thing in the eyes of the youths. Unknown to Grey, he had grown a huge fanbase. And the fanbase didn't consist of only those weaker than him, even a few people in the Sage Plane were part of those who were his fans.𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Grey left the occasion as soon as it ended. The Faction was pretty united, so even though he wasn't acquainted with most of the people, he didn't put on any airs whenever he was approached. This made those around him even more impressed by him. Grey was approachable, his only issue is his lack of communication skills. Time flew by slowly and it was already almost a month since Grey came back from winning the competition. Most of those who went with him had already gone into the secret realm in search of an opportunity to break through, Grey on the other hand was still studying arrays. His love for arrays soon became well known across the entire Faction. He had barely gone out for this past month, and the few times he went out was to attend an array class. Void had been traveling with Keith all this while. He didn't know what to do with Void. Keith unfortunately couldn't enter the place now since he would need to go with Grey when entering. He still hadn't found a chance to break through to the Sage Plane and he felt like adventuring into the secret realm would be very beneficial for him. Grey was currently sitting in his place, on his hand was his communication device. He was listening to the messages he had from his friends, while also sending them one as well. By the time he was done speaking with them, he couldn't help but shake his head when. 'How is he so lucky?' He asked internally. Klaus had broken through to the Sage Plane, not only that, but he also managed to awaken his domain as well. Of all of them, Klaus was the one who had the lowest stage, but now, things were always different. He would get one lucky encounter after another that would make him advance at a speed that even Grey was envious of. Alice and Reynolds were still on the Eighth stage, but Reynolds had nothing to worry about thanks to his Elemental Warrior which had gotten to the strength of a Sage Plane Elementalists. Alice's Seelie was in the Sage Plane to begin with, so she still had methods of dealing with Sage Plane opponents. Grey had both Void and the talismans his Teacher gave to him. If he used his Fusion State, then he didn't have any problems with going against an Early stage Sage Plane Elementalist, well, one without a domain. One thing that was worth mentioning is that Keith had broken through to the Sage Plane as well. After sending some of the things he had learned about arrays to his Teacher for study, he decided it was finally time for him to head to the secret realm. When Keith heard of this, he was excited beyond belief. He was currently out of points, and there was a mission that required him to enter the secret realm. Void was also very excited since they would get to experience new things. This was a secret realm he had been trying to get into from the start, so it was a great opportunity for him now that Grey had decided they should head into the secret realm. Grey walked to the teleportation array in the Faction, with Keith and Void in tow.
