Chapter 653 - Food Delivery Grey was the one who later agreed to spar with Alice. He wanted to try out a new method of his inscriptions, and it would be best while battling. Buzz! Crash! A lightning bolt struck in Grey's direction, but he didn't even glance at it. Just as the lightning bolt was about to touch, a black inscription lit up in front of him, and the lightning bolt disappeared into it. Bang! Alice was lucky she moved away from the spot hastily, else she would've been struck with her own attack. "This…" Alice wanted to complain, but she was just short of words. Grey just sent her attack back at her, and the distance between when the attack came was so close that if Grey hadn't told her of this before they started the sparring session, she would've been caught off-guard by it. This is just like Void's ability. Unfortunately, it also has its limitations. If the person attacking was around Blake's level, then he would have difficulties returning the attack. At most, he can use it to reduce the strength of the attack, but the inscription would fall apart soon after. Klaus who was by the side complained about the overwhelming advantage of the space element. "Why is there even such an element?" He complained while looking at Grey and Void. He has never faced a Space Elementalist, and after watching what Grey and Void were doing to their enemies, he didn't want to. The space element was like the king of all elements. At first, he thought it was only for escaping and dodging attacks, but when he saw what Void did with it against that Peak Overlord Plane Elementalist, he had a change of heart. He had already concluded that if he were fighting against a Space Elementalist he would immediately surrender. If it were a life and death battle, he would negotiate with the person. Alice continued helping Grey out, and after being unlucky and being struck by her attack, she gave up. Klaus burst out laughing when he saw Alice's appearance was almost exactly the same as his own. Alice smiled irritatedly before looking at Grey with a mischievous smile. She sent a lightning bolt at Grey, and it disappeared. Bang! "Ah! Damn you Grey!" Klaus yelled after being struck by the lightning Alice sent out. How could he not know that this was to get back at him for laughing at Alice? The group continued hanging out leisurely in the valley as they enjoyed their rare moment of peace. Klaus was keeping the group entertained with his stories. Grey was the group's chef, understandably. Chris was taking advantage of the times he hadn't been able to eat anything. He was chunking down whatever Grey brought his way. And seeing this, Grey didn't know between his Teacher and Void who ate more. Of the entire group, Void was the only one who seemed to come close to his Teacher when it came to eating. One day, Chris walked up to Grey. "I just had a brilliant idea. If this works, I wouldn't need to worry about food again in that hellish place," Chris chuckled in pleasure. "Oh, what's that Teacher?" Grey inquired. "We'll make something like a small-scale teleportation array, but it will be used only for bringing food to me. Give me that paper you used in making the teleportation array," Chris said, a tinge of excitement could be heard in his voice. Grey did as ordered, and after Chris went through it multiple times, he brought out a plaque. He drew a few lines on it before working with Grey to infuse the space element into it. Although he was the one making the array, without a Space Elementalist's help, there was no way he could get access to the space element. Without the space element, the array was useless. After he completed it, he brought out another plaque and they did the same thing. They immediately tried it, and it was just as Chris said, Grey could teleport food to anywhere the other plaque was located. 'He truly is my Teacher,' Grey thought internally. The fact that all it took was a single try for Chris to make the teleportation array shocked him. He knew his knowledge of arrays wasn't on the same level as his Teacher, but this showed how far apart they were. They concluded with that, and time went by. A week later, Reynolds arrived after settling his parents down in the Capital City. Old man Gerald promised to take extra care of them, so he wasn't too worried about them. With the influence old man Gerald had amassed thanks to Chris, he didn't have anything to fear about. The new Emperor of the Continent was also taking care of his family as well, and this was more than what he asked for. He couldn't help but think about the time he thought of actually working for the empire, it seemed like a long time ago, but it hasn't even been up to two years and now the Emperor of the continent was taking special care of his family that without him, the others couldn't even be considered as Elementalists.𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎 With everyone complete, it was finally time for them to go their separate ways. Chris still had to take Oliver to get help from the old man training him, while Blake opted to stay by Oliver's side. Delia naturally did the same, so he would be taking them with him as well. They followed the group to the edge of the Magical Beasts' forest. "I made a few more talismans for you," Chris gave Klaus over fifty talismans that contained one all-out attack each from him. He even made one that was filled with the light element to help boost his speed so he could escape. "I'll come search for you all after some time," He said to Grey before turning around with his group. Grey's lips twitched but he didn't say anything. His Teacher didn't even give him any form of protection, giving everything to Klaus. Who was his student again? "Come on, let's go," Grey led the group into the forest.
