Chapter 832 Void's Plan

Chapter 832 Void's Plan

Grey tried to search for the blue light multiple times, but he was unable to. He didn't know it was resting in his head, and even the thought of that never crossed his mind.

With no way to examine it, and given the connection it seemed to have with this volcano, he decided to find out about it after entering the volcano.

From what he could tell, only a few people could go in. He was exempted from any form of cold it was emitting, the others were not so lucky, minus Void.

Other than the poison miasma, Void seemed to be invincible to other things.

'I wonder what type of magical beast he is.' He mused as they got to the peak of the volcano.

At this time, the horned men paused at a particular spot past the middle when ascending the volcano. They were unable to go any further, so only Grey and Void continued the ascent.

Standing at the peak, they felt a chilly breeze gush out of the volcano.

"That's not encouraging." Grey said as he tried to move closer. Even with the pale blue light, he still felt this chilly wind. He was a hundred percent certain that if anyone else tried to come in here, they would turn into an ice statue.

Void's expression also turned serious as they exchanged glances. Nodding to each other, they walked to the entrance of the volcano, looking inside, Grey saw something that caught his eye.

"Isn't that the same flame?" He almost exclaimed.

He had seen something like this before, it was when he added the fire element to his elements. There was a floating blue lotus sitting at the top of the lava, giving off intense chills. Even from so far off, he could feel it. His heart started to beat faster from excitement. He felt an unbelievable sense of joy just staring at this lotus.

"Hey, it's like that plant when I was just born." Void commented when he saw the lotus.

"It is, but unlike that one, this is a complete one. It seemed to have formed not too long ago." Grey said excitedly.

"Nice, looks like we were lucky this time." Void laughed, he could see the joy in Grey's eyes.

"Guess so. But do you think I can obtain it so easily?" Grey asked with a wry smile.

Void wanted to ask about something when Grey pointed at a moving figure in the volcano. Yes, there was a living creature inside the volcano, resting at the side. It was breathing slowly.

"Rank Six, you have work to do." Void grinned at him

The beast resting on the side was a giant double-headed snake in Rank Six. Grey wasn't too shocked by it having two heads, what made him almost lose hope was its stage. If it were to be in Rank Five, then he could deal with it in the Fusion State, but now, he couldn't even dare to fight against it.

"I have a plan." Void said, to take Grey out of the depth of depression.

Grey nodded for Void to tell him his plan and after he was done listening to it, his eyes brightened, before going dark once again.

"It won't work. It would sense it." Grey said after hearing Void's plan.

"Trust me, this thing can perfectly hide the aura of the treasure. Without having a powerful sensory ability, it will never sense it. Why do you think it hasn't moved since we came here? It can only sense us when we get close to it." Void explained.

Grey looked at the sleeping snake once again. Void's plan would be able to help him get what he wanted, but it was also very. They would enter the volcano, find a safe spot inside and use the treasure. This would help boost Void's Rank to the next one, while also giving them a good chance of acquiring the lotus after he does.

The volcano could hide the aura of the treasure, so it would not leak out, attracting other magical beasts.

Grey had his doubts about the plan since it involved them putting their hopes on a probability. If it didn't work and the snake sensed them, it would be alert, and could even consume the lotus if they escaped.

He stood on the same spot for a while, brooding over the matter seriously. This was not something he could take lightly, any mistake and his life would be in danger.

He started to regret why he didn't use his points to get a teleportation talisman from the Faction. There are talismans that are on sale in the Faction, it has those made by Sage Plane Elementalists and Elemental Venerables. Had he been able to acquire one made by an Elemental Venerable, he would've been able to take out the necromancer at first.

'Teacher's talismans are almost up, I have only two left for escaping, and five for attacking.' He thought out everything that could possibly happen, and after making sure that with his Teacher's talisman, they could escape, he finally agreed to it.

The reason he agreed was simple: if Void manages to break through to the Sage Plane, they could go back to the Faction within the week, this way, he would submit his mission and take his points. He wouldn't need a cultivation room any longer since Void had already broken through.

In addition, he would get his personal Sage Plane guard with him. It was a win-win every way he looked at it.

The duo entered the volcano as quietly as they could and Void used his sharp claws to break a part of the volcano, creating a cave inside. Grey ensured that none of the rock pebbles fell to the ground when Void was making the cave.

The second the duo entered the cave, they closed it once again, and their auras completely disappeared from the place. Of course, Grey waited outside first and handed the treasure to Void, and after he didn't sense Void or the treasure, he was finally reassured.

After so long, Void was finally going to break through to the Sage Plane.
