Chapter 775 - You'll Have Your Answers Soon Enough

Grey's figure was covered with a bright light as he flew as fast as he could. Even with help of his Teacher's talisman, he still wasn't able to escape from the ray of light.

'What do we do now?' Void asked telepathically.

'What can we do?' Grey asked with a wry smile.

He knew his chances of escaping from this thing with his current strength were zero. Even a Sage Plane Elementalist would not be able to escape from it, much less him who is still in the Overlord Plane. He wasn't even at the Peak yet.

Just when the ray of light was about to hit him, he sensed a familiar aura.

'It's that person again.' He thought internally.

He turned around, only to see a man he found familiar standing in front of him, the ray of light which was about to hit him was blocked by the man's outstretched arm.

"Troublesome." The man muttered as he squeezed the light.

The ray of light started to fade, before completely fading off.

The man turned to look at Grey with a smile.

"How are you doing?" The man asked with a shake of his head.

"It's you!" Grey exclaimed.

He had seen this man a couple of times in the Azure Continent. At that time, the man was a regular person, but he knew the person standing before him was above the Sage Plane. He might even be above an Elemental Venerable.

"Yes, how have you been?" The man nodded while placing both hands behind him.

"Fine." Grey replied with a confused expression.

"I believe you have a lot of questions, correct?" The man asked.

Grey nodded, he still had Kyle on his hand since they were still mid-air.

"Well, you'll have your answers soon enough, but for now, take care." The man said and disappeared out of view.

"Wait." Grey tried to stop him, but he was a little too slow.

The man was far stronger than him, so there was no way he could stop him from leaving.

Grey was frustrated because he wanted to know why the man was following him, but the man didn't give him the chance to.

'Void, do you know where he is?' He asked Void.

'No, he's too powerful.' Void replied after a few seconds of silence.

He tried to block the s.p.a.ce when the man tried to leave, but he was unable to. Even with the help of his domain, he still wasn't able to stop him.

Kyle looked at the entire encounter with an odd expression. He hadn't seen the man before, but he knew he was a very powerful figure. But from what he could tell, he knew the man was protecting Grey.

'I knew his ident.i.ty was not simple.' He thought internally.

He had always thought that Grey was from a big Family or Faction. However, the fact that Grey didn't know that the man was protecting him was what he found surprising.

For such a talent, any big Family or Faction would protect him at all costs. Grey should be aware that he was being protected from the shadows, but his behavior showed that he doesn't.

Grey flew down and dropped Kyle with a confused expression.

'Why is he protecting me?' He fell deep in thoughts.

Anytime he sensed this aura, it was when he was in danger. The aura would arrive in time to protect him secretly. This time, due to the complex situation, the man was forced to come out from the shadows once again.

'Teacher's in the Sage Plane, so there is no way he would be able to send someone above the Sage Plane to watch over me.' Grey's head went into overdrive as he thought of who could possibly send someone to protect him.

With his Teacher out of the picture, there were only three people left on his list. The first was his parents, the next was Ellis' family, and the last was Sylvia.

'It shouldn't be either Ellis' family or Miss Sylvia since I've seen him before even heading to the Aurora Continent.'

Sylvia and Ellis' family couldn't possibly be able to send someone to watch over him even before knowing him, so they were out of the list as well.

He knew nothing of his background, and given how mysterious his parents were, he had his suspicions about them being very powerful. The fact that they could appear from nowhere, and disappear at will showed that.

But, if they were powerful, then why did they keep it hidden from him. Not just that, but why would they leave him in such a place?

Just like the man said, he had a lot of questions, however, there was no one to answer them. The only person who could answer them was the man or his parents, but none of them were present at the moment.

"Are you okay?" Kyle asked.

He noticed Grey hasn't been saying anything since he landed, he seemed to be deep in thoughts. So he felt compelled to ask if he was alright.

"Oh, yes. I'm good." Grey replied.

"Where are we now? I didn't even get the chance to head in the direction we wanted to." He looked around before asking Kyle.

"We should be a few thousand kilometers away from the borders." Kyle replied after taking a good look around.

"Hmm, okay. I guess we should find a way to get back on track then." Grey said with a serious expression.

"Alright." Kyle nodded before leading the way.

Grey was silent as they walked through the woods. Someone was protecting him, and he didn't know who, or why. He had no issues with the fact that he was being protected, if not for this person, he might've died from the last sneak attack. But he hated not being in control of things.

This man might be a potential threat who only wanted to ensure he was the one who killed him.

'Void, can we use that thing now?' Grey asked.

'No, it's too dangerous.' Void rejected the idea of using the treasure they got from the mansion.
