Chapter 370: I Can Refine Anything!

The next day.

Grey woke up a little later than he usually does, the sun was already shining brightly in the sky.

“d.a.m.n, using the s.p.a.ce element so many times is so taxing,” He complained as he stepped out of his tent.

Reynolds was sitting casually a few meters away from where he was, the communication device was on his hand, which indicated that he was speaking with Alice.

“You’re awake,” He said when he saw Grey walking towards him.

“Yeah, I’m still tired though,” Grey held his head before sitting down close to Reynolds.

“What do you plan to do now?” He asked after a while.

Since they’ve already gotten the lightning tree, then there was no need in staying here anymore. Grey also had important matters to attend to, finding a way to heal Void.

He had gotten some clues from the young man, and he planned to immediately head there after seeing Klaus.

“I’ll continue training. You know you’re not the only one who needs to grow stronger,” Reynolds said.

“Yeah, given the current strength of your Elemental Warrior, you don’t really have anything to worry about in the Origin Plane. Only those in the Overlord Plane can threaten you now,” Grey said with a smile.

“Really? Given how you were able to send it flying with a single attack, I really doubt that.” Reynolds said in a disbelieving tone.

“My strength at that time should be above the Origin Plane, so it doesn’t really count,” Grey replied casually.

There was no use in hiding that his strength was high, it wasn’t like Reynolds didn’t see him. Although he wouldn’t tell him about the Fusion State, he also wouldn’t deny the fact that he had a special technique that could boost his strength significantly.

“Who were you fighting against?” Reynolds asked.

Since Grey said his strength was above the Origin Plane, it meant whoever he was fighting against must’ve been in the Overlord Plane. There wasn’t anyone in the Overlord Plane amongst those in the groups, so he found it quite strange.

“Remember that guy who came asking for my a.s.sistance?” asked Grey.

Reynolds thought for a while before nodding his head.

“Actually, he has a special kind of lightning, red lightning…” Grey explained why the young man came to ask for his help, and also how he got to the Overlord Plane.

“Wait, you mean he actually swallowed an orb that had more essence than the lightning tree, and survived?” Reynolds asked in shock.

“Correction, he swallowed it and advanced,” Grey said.

“That’s insane!” Reynolds said.

“If I think about it correctly, I think I’ve done something like that before,” Grey placed his hand on his chin while going deep in thoughts.

“I can’t seem to remember it, but I think I can,” He shook his head after a while.

Grey doesn’t have a problem with refining things that contain so much essence due to the orb. He could even swallow beast cores like they were candy, but he doesn’t really do it.

“Monster,” Reynolds murmured while giving Grey a weird look.

“We’ll have to wait a little longer before leaving. Ah… I really need some rest,” Grey laid on the ground, looking at the sky.

Reynolds looked at him before asking, “What about that guy? You said he promised to kill you before he left,”

“He’s not someone we should concern ourselves with, remember, he escaped. I think I can deal with him when we next meet. My only worry now is that he might search for you as well,” Grey expressed his concern.

There was a slim possibility of the young man killing Reynolds if he ever saw him, so he naturally couldn’t remove this possibility.

“I’ll be fine,” Reynolds said.

“You said your Elemental Warrior was able to absorb the lightning tree?” Grey suddenly asked.

“Yeah, I didn’t even think it would be possible at first,” Reynolds said.

‘Hmm, would it also be able to absorb the other orb?’ Grey fell deep in thoughts.

If the Elemental Warrior could absorb the lightning tree, then technically, it should also be able to orb the red orb. It was lightning essence after all. If it’s possible, then the Elemental Warrior would receive a significant boost in strength, further guaranteeing Reynolds’ safety.

“See if it could absorb this,” Grey brought out the orb, handing it to Reynolds.

Reynolds collected the orb, looking at it seriously.

“This is what that guy wanted, right?”

“Yeah, but I don’t think he knows I have it, even if he does, it’s not like he could take it,”

“What did you plan to do with it?”

“Refine it,”

“I thought it was for those with red lightning alone?”

“Oh please, I can refine anything as long as it has an elemental essence in it,”

Looking at Grey’s confident demeanor as he said this, Reynolds was sure he wasn’t lying.

He looked at the orb with a confused expression, to be honest, he didn’t want to take it. The reason for this was simple, Grey had already given him the lightning tree.

Although he felt grateful for having such an amazing friend, he felt taking this as well was no different from taking advantage of Grey’s kindness. Yes, Grey was the one who gave it to him. But being the one who receives and never gives didn’t feel great.

“I don’t need it,” Reynolds tossed the orb back to Grey.

“What do you mean, no?” Grey asked, confused.

It was just an orb that contained lightning essence, why did he reject it?

“I don’t need it,” Reynolds remained resolute in his decision.

It already felt like he was dependent on Grey, taking this just so he could advance faster would mean he wanted to continue depending on him.

“Stop being stupid and take it. This is not the time to be reasonable, right now, we need as much upgrade as we need. I’m heading to the Magical beasts’ forest, I’m bound to obtain something that would boost my strength.” Grey said.

“Yes, that’s all the more reason you need it. The Magical beasts’ forest isn’t somewhere even the Chimera can do as it pleases, yet it was able to make you flee while you were in that powerful state. To be honest, you need this more than I do,” Reynolds said.

Grey looked at him, not responding. The place soon fell into silence.
