Time slowly passed by and Void felt like days had gone by.
The explosion finally died down after some seconds and Void rushed into the area.
His pupils enlarged when he couldn't find any traces of Grey. He couldn't even sense Grey's aura, and the connection he had with him was currently useless. He couldn't even sense it at all.
Hurriedly, he brought out the triplets from his spatial storage.
"Find him." He ordered in a hoarse voice.
The trio sensing the elemental energy in the air knew who Void was talking about and spread out, in search of Grey.
Void vanished as well as he searched for Grey. The only way he could find Grey easily was through their connection, but that was gone. It died completely two seconds after the attack. This was not something that would've been possible, unless, Grey was dead.
He didn't even want to think of this possibility, there is no way he would believe that Grey died just like that. Given the situations he had been with Grey, he didn't feel this would take Grey down.
Outside the portal to the Lutra realm.
The Elder standing guard was speaking with Grey's guardian when the duo suddenly paused and looked at the portal with eyes of disbelief.
"Someone above the Sage Plane is in there." Grey's guardian said with squinted eyes.
"Do you think?" The Elder from the Pyrmond Faction asked with eyes of shock.
"No one broke through from the Lutra race, it must be someone who lowered their Plane to stay in there. I wonder what would make them take the risk of being ejected out of the world?" Grey's guardian asked thoughtfully.
"Given the personality of that little boy, do you think he's involved?" The Elder couldn't help but ask.
Although he hadn't known Grey for long, from some of the stories the guardian had spoken of, Grey seemed to be quite the trouble magnet.
"It's a possibility, but I hope he's not involved. An Elemental Venerable is above his level." The man shook his head.
However, his expression changed drastically as he felt something in his storage ring, bringing it out, it was an insignia that had a lion carved on it. It was cracked.
"Impossible…" He muttered as he looked at the insignia.
The man could barely stand properly as he tried to rush into the portal, but he was pushed out.
The Elder seeing the insignia understood what was happening. That insignia was linked to Grey's life, and the fact that it's cracked showed that Grey was currently on the verge of dying.
"You can't go in." The Elder said calmly.
"He's in danger." The man said coldly, his voice completely different from its previous friendly state.
"But he's still alive. Just hanging on by a thread, I'll send the word inside and the others will be able to find him with the Faction's badge that's with him. As long as it's with him, that is." The Elder tried to calm the man down.
Grey was a very important figure to the Faction, so he naturally wouldn't want their hopes for the future to die so carelessly.
'How did he even get in a battle with someone above the Sage Plane? I know there are some old monsters hiding in there, but still, he only went in there for just over half a year and he got entangled with one, that the person didn't mind taking the risk of being thrown to another realm?' The Elder complained internally.
He contacted the youth standing on the other side of the portal, and when the youth came out, he gave out the order for them to search for Grey.
Since Grey was the only member in the Lutra realm with the highest rank in the Faction, he made it possible to distinguish him from the other members of the Faction.
The Elder gave the youth something that would help him in finding Grey. Once the youth goes back into the Lutra realm, the others would also be able to locate Grey's whereabouts.
When the youth returned to the Lutra realm, the order was passed on to every member of the Pyrmond Faction that was in the Lutra realm, search for Grey.
They all felt the energy from the time the world ejected the man from the world and all knew what it meant, someone used strength that was well above the Sage Plane.
When the members heard that they were to search for Grey, they all knew it was somehow connected to him since it hadn't been up to ten minutes since the event before the order came.
They all got the rough direction of where Grey was located but not the accurate position. They would have to find out about that on their own.
The entire Lutra realm was in a state of chaos, first off from the man being ejected, to the sudden movement of the humans. They were all headed in the same direction.
Somewhere in the Lutra realm.
Nathan and Eva exchanged glances when they heard the news of searching for Grey.
"He's never up to any good, I wonder what he has gotten himself into now?" Nathan asked with a cold expression.
He didn't have a good impression of Grey, so he naturally didn't like him.
"He must've been the one fighting against the person who used strength above the Sage Plane." Eva replied.
"Why is the Faction even bothered with him? If any of us were the ones involved in this, they wouldn't care." Nathan looked outside coldly, jealousy evident in his eyes.
"You've seen his talent. If you are the Elders of the Faction, will you let such a genius be treated in the same way as the others? Let's go, stop whining." Eva said and walked in the direction of the direction Grey was located according to the map on their badge.
'If he isn't dead, I'll end him myself.' Nathan thought coldly.
In different places, most of the top geniuses went out in search of Grey.
"Oh, it's been a while since I saw him. I never thought he would encounter such misfortunes." A youth said before disappearing from the tree branch he was standing on.
Below the tree branch were corpses of people from the Lutra realm. A shocking number of corpses.
