Chapter 1331 A Tomb The group of ten headed towards the pyramid. They've already dealt with the Scorpion and they increased their speed, it took them only a few minutes before they got to where the opening into the pyramid was located. Grey was standing behind the leader of the Giant. Even though he had already shown some of his prowess when it came to fighting, there was no use in bothering with who was leading the group. All he was interested in was getting treasures he could use to help those around him. The leader of the Giants didn't rush into the opening, he sensed it for a while to know if there was any danger, after getting nothing, he walked in, accompanied by Elaris. Grey was behind them, he already knew there was nothing ahead that would stop them thanks to Void who was the first to enter. After entering the pyramid, all they saw was a long path ahead of them. They moved along the path, carefully observing the place. As they were moving, Grey was focused on the marks that were on the wall. From his observations, they were a form of writing, but they looked very similar to array lines which he found a bit odd. 'Could it be that arrays are a form of language?' He thought to himself. He has always been fascinated as to how arrays came about, after all, it was quite strange that drawing some lines would make someone grow stronger, or become faster or the other abilities array has been able to give Elementalists. The lines were all so strange yet so wondrous to see. Grey was staring at the marks and making a mental note of some of the marks. The marks were similar to the ones he saw at the door. Due to encountering the Tortoise, he was forced to stop his observation, now, he didn't have to bother with anything. Before they knew it, they got to a place that led to three different places. All three paths looked alike, but they all knew they led to different places. "What now?" One of the Giants asked. "We have two options, go into the same path to ensure our safety and risk losing more treasures, or spread out so we can get more treasures but risk getting in danger." The leader of the Giants told them their options. "We should split up. After all, the goal from the start was getting into this place. Since we're already here, there's no need to team up. This will save us the trouble of having to clash due to wanting the same treasure." Grey was the one who answered. The leader of the Giants nodded to Grey's words, although they didn't sound kind, it was the truth. They might be getting along for now, but that was all because there was nothing that would cause a clash of interests, once there was, then they would clash. "Thank you for helping us open this place, I'll be leaving with my people now." The leader of the Giants took the middle path and left with the other four giants. "Why did you say that?" Elaris asked, a little annoyed at Grey. "I don't think you come out often, if not, you'd know the sooner we split up the better it is for everyone." Grey didn't bother with her and went straight to the path on the right. That was the side he was sensing Void from, and with Void picking that path meant only one thing, it held more treasures. Elaris felt irritated at the way Grey was treating her, if not for the fact that she didn't want to fall out with him, she would've attacked him the second he spoke to her in such a manner. She still followed behind Grey. Sylvia's brother and the other two followed behind them, they knew that with Grey and Elaris taking this path, they didn't have any other choice. Besides, now that they were separated, if they were to be caught by the Giants, they risked getting attacked by them. After all, the only reason they were together was due to an alignment of interest, now, the goal had been achieved and they didn't need each other any longer. Grey continued following Void, and before long, they got to a large opening. The place was like a Hall, and there were chairs around. A tomb could be seen in the middle of the Hall, and things made of gold and some other materials could be seen. These things didn't attract too much attention from those present, rather, it was the flowers that were planted around the tomb that drew the attention of everyone present. These flowers all possessed different elemental essences and a very large concentration of said elements. "Amazing…' Brax muttered. Grey didn't hurry to get close to it, he was a little wary of this place. He didn't believe it would be that easy to acquire these things. Not just him, but the others as well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 However, after watching it for a few minutes, they realized it was safe to walk close to it. Elaris headed for the flower that gave off a chilly aura. Snow could be seen around this particular flower. Grey wasn't in a haste to check out the flowers, he was observing the tomb, wondering if it was inhabited. What sort of person would be buried in a place like this, surrounded by gold and other forms of treasures? This was the question in Grey's head. He suddenly found something odd. Void saw shiny things yet he let them be. Void would normally take any type of shiny object regardless of whether it was of value or not. Yet Void let go of these. 'Something's wrong.' Grey's eyes opened and he studied the place. The problem was that he still couldn't sense anything wrong, but he was getting a growing feeling of unease. "We should leave." He said to the others. They looked at him, and Elaris was the one who spoke up, "What is it with you? If you want to leave you can, you're not the leader of this group, you know." "I have zero interest in leading anyone." Grey started walking towards the exit of the place. He was about to take a step outside when he sensed danger, turning around, he noticed something no one else had. The tomb was open… 'Fuck it! I hate these types of opponents.' He complained and rushed to where Sylvia's brother was and grabbed hold of him. Sylvia's brother was about to ask what happened when he saw a large skeletal hand grabbing at him. "Don't go, nourish me." The eerie voice sent a shiver down his spine. The skeletal hand was getting closer to him and he could feel his essence being drawn from him. 'No wonder Void didn't stop.' Void's intuition towards danger was very high, and he knew staying to pick up treasures would put him in some danger. "We're leaving." Grey threw a stream of fire at the hand and dragged Sylvia's brother with him, he didn't care about the safety of the others. Since they wanted to listen to Elaris, he didn't have any reason to bother about their safety. Elaris moved fast, she froze the hand coming towards her and rushed towards the exit. Brax and Victor followed behind her. The moment they left the place, a skeleton with little parts covered with decayed flesh appeared. "It's been so long, how much longer will it take before I can awaken? Even these flowers are useless." The skeleton spoke in a cold tone. It soon sensed something and when it looked at the flowers, its expression changed drastically. They were all gone, all sixteen flowers. "Damn it! When did they take them?!" It roared furiously. These flowers were products of hundreds of years of planning, and they were all gone. "How? Who?" Its bluish flaming eyes, just like an inferno spiked up, it realized when the flowers were taken. The time he was attacked by the stream of fire he noticed something strange about the flame, but due to how quickly everything happened, it didn't think too much about it, and there were others it targeted. But now that they were all gone, it realized the abnormality with the flame. "I'll kill you!" The skeleton which had not left this place for hundreds of years moved towards the exit of the tomb, its treasure was stolen and it wanted it back at all costs. …. Other than Grey, no one else understood the meaning behind the roar of the skeleton. Grey had a nonchalant expression on his face, but he was elated deep down. The flowers were taken by none other than him. He didn't actually need the flames to force back the hand since there was no way it would be able to reach him, but there was no way he would give up such an opportunity. He used the flames to hide his true intentions, and no one knew he took it. Well, the skeleton knew, but it was none of his business. Unbeknownst to Grey, he was being hunted down by the skeleton.
