The Faction Leader turned to look at Grey's figure. Void pretended as if he didn't hear anything and continued lying close to Grey.
"Will he be fine?" He asked.
The Light Elementalist looked at Grey, "I'm not sure. But I believe whatever pushed my senses away should be able to help him heal his leaking cores.
"Then there's no need to worry about it. You will tell no one else of this, also, seal this place up, you and I are the only ones allowed in." The Faction Leader said. He didn't want to risk Grey's safety for anything.
"Oh, and that guy as well." He gave the Light Elementalist a knowing glance.
The Light Elementalist nodded and started to draw different inscriptions in the air before sending out a seal that blocked the area.
When they came out, a figure stepped out of the Void.
"You can go in." The Faction Leader said to the figure.
The man nodded and went inside, but made sure to hide from Void's senses. The figure was the third person the Faction Leader permitted to enter the place, Grey's guardian.
Of all the people present, he was probably the one who was more worried about Grey's safety.
The Faction Leader and the Light Elementalist disappeared from the place. Letting a stranger enter this deep into their Faction was very dangerous, but they wanted to show this person how much they value Grey. Besides, a Family that can groom such a genius and sends a powerful guardian with him would not be weak.
The Faction Leader placed someone outside so they could track the guardian's movements if he steps out of the place where Grey was kept.
Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye.
Grey was still lying unconscious, but his current state was different from the time he was brought here. Now, his breathing had returned to normal which gave the others hope. One more thing was the leaking essence energy in Grey's body had stopped. Not just that, but it seemed to be accumulating as well.
Void was still lying next to Grey. The Light Elementalist as well as the Faction Leader checks up on Grey every day, and his improved condition pleased them.
While Grey was recovering slowly.
The news of Grey being taken to the Faction spread quickly, not just that, but it also stated that he was already receiving treatment and will be fine soon enough.
When Alec heard this, he smiled in joy. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think about the fate of Foudre and Nathan. Grey will eventually find out what they did, and Alec doesn't think Grey was the type who would forgive his enemies. From the short battle during the competition, he knew Grey was a ruthless individual.
"I wonder what's running through the head of those two now." He snickered before disappearing into the woods.
Somewhere in the Lutra realm.
Nathan and Foudre were standing together with irritated expressions.
"Why didn't he just die?" Foudre spat on the ground in disgust.
"He will, maybe not now, but he will." Nathan replied coldly.
"You should've killed him when you got the chance." Foudre turned his attention to Nathan.
Nathan didn't respond to Foudre's words. He looked to the side and saw Eva standing by the side.
"It doesn't matter, it's not like he can kill us. Besides, we didn't do anything to him. If he attacks us, we can use it against him." Nathan said, unbothered with Grey.
Now, he wanted to complete his training and leave this place. He had been here for some time and it was almost time to head back to their realm.
One week later.
There was finally movement from Grey's body, his eyes and fingers twitched occasionally, and after some time, his eyes snapped open.
The moment they opened, he hastily shut them once again, squinting his eyes from the pain, he slowly opened them.
It had been quite a while since he saw light, so opening his eyes so quickly affected him.
He looked around, and after not seeing anything he knew, he hastily tried to stand up, but he felt numb all over and stayed put.
He was still thinking when Void appeared in his vision, standing on his chest.
"Huh?" A confused expression appeared on his face, after a second his eyes brightened, "Void."
"You're finally awake, good." Void replied, clearly relieved.
Grey's last memories flashed through his head and he recalled what happened. He was fighting with an old expert from another race, and after suffering from a deadly attack, he was sent to another location, away from Void and the rest.
When thinking about it, he remembered one of his hands was missing.
He slowly started to feel his body again, raising the previously missing hand, he looked at it for some time before dropping it.
"How did you even survive that attack?" Void asked.
"Lucky I guess." Grey smiled, before recounting what he recalled.
"Where are we?" Grey asked when he was done speaking.
"The Faction. I took you to the Elder standing guard outside." Void replied, he paused for some time before adding, "Also, I think they found out something about you when they wanted to heal you."
Grey raised a brow before sitting down, "What?"
"Your core was injured, one of them tried to pry but he was forced out…" Void told Grey what he heard.
"It's okay, the Faction Leader doesn't seem interested in my secrets. He's curious, naturally, but I don't think he would want to force me to tell him if I don't want to." Grey said.
Void nodded before his eyes turned cold, "Right, we have some scores to settle."
"With who?" Grey asked.
From Void's present reaction, Grey could tell Void was incensed.
Void told him about Foudre and how he wanted to kill him.
"Oh wow, we really do have a score to settle." Grey exclaimed as an evil smile appeared on his face.
He would never let people who wanted him dead go. Since they wanted him dead, then he didn't mind repaying the favor.
