1186: A Beast's Core

A Beast's Core

Grey took a look at Void, 'Oh…'2

Void only gains interest in valuable things, other than shiny things, anything he can sense from a distance always turns out to be good items. 

Grey looked at the little girl with interest before disappearing into the crowd. His aim was to track what Void said was good in this area. For some reason, he felt it would be with the person in the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

After walking through the town for some time, he was taken to a debilitated building by Void. 

'It's here?' He couldn't help but ask. 

'Yeah. Whatever I'm sensing is coming from this place.' Void replied. 

Grey was about to head into the building when he paused and saw some figures sneaking into the place. 

The people were in the Early stages of the Sage Plane and were well hidden, well, to those in the Sage Plane, they were untraceable, but to Grey, he could see them as clear as the sun. He didn't bother with them, hiding himself, he watched them from the side as they broke into the place. 

"Are you sure this is where he kept it?" One of the people asked another with a whisper. 

"I'm sure. Have you forgotten I planned everything with him?" The person asked, replied calmly. 

Grey's ears perked up when he heard this. Now he understood how the man was caught, he was most likely betrayed by his friend. What was worse was that his friend wanted to take everything for himself. 

'I don't think this is what they stole.' Grey thought to himself. 

According to what he heard, the man was caught stealing, not that he had already stolen the item, and was later caught and killed. If he was caught after stealing the item, he would've heard of it. Of course, there was also a possibility the information was withheld from the public if the man refused to give up the item. 

If this man was the person who ratted the man out, it was most likely that he wanted to keep this thing for himself. There's also the possibility that he didn't have anything to do with the other man being caught. 

Grey stopped thinking about it since there was nothing to do about it, all he wanted to see was if he could get the item there. Well, given the strength of those people there, he was very confident in being able to acquire it. 

The group was five in number, and all of them were in the Early stages of the Sage Plane. In such a place, they were a very powerful group, but Grey could easily kill them with a single attack, so he was not too bothered. 

The group entered the building silently, and one of them made an array that would notify them if anyone else trespassed into the place. 

Before he completed the array, Grey used the space element to enter the building without anyone noticing. 

Just like the outside of the building, the inside was also damaged and the few pieces of furniture inside were on the verge of falling apart. 

The group of five entered and the one who Grey guessed was the friend of the man hanged led the group into the basement of the building and they saw a single piece of core. It was a Beast's core, but just from the sensation Grey got from it, he knew it was no ordinary Beast core. 

One has to know that Beasts, especially those with a very high bloodline, have special attributes. Their cores are more than ten times more valuable than a regular Beasts' core. 

'See, I told you it was good.' Void said excitedly. 

He could sense attributes of the space element in this core and knew it would be beneficial to all of them. Even the bunny leader had glowing eyes at the moment. 

"With this core, we have hopes of breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane in no time." One of the men laughed in delight. 

"Of course, why do you think the Tekik Family killed Ryla without hesitation?" The man who led them here said, excitement could also be heard in his voice. 

"Is it true that it's the core of the Space Tiger?" Another one of them asked. 

"I don't care if it belongs to the Space Tiger or Space Sheep, let's get this over with soon enough. I can already see how powerful I'll become when I get out of here." Another one was too eager and had already made movements forward before he paused. 

He was the one who set up the array on the door, and he sensed some ripples. Although who got in managed to reduce the effect, he was still able to sense it. 

"Someone's coming." He whispered to them. 

The other four looked at each other and one of them motioned for another to check it out. 

The person who was sent to check it out nodded and walked forward. 

Grey, Void, and the bunny leader were well hidden, with the help of Grey's multiple elements, he was able to hide them in the area using his elements to create a camouflage for them. 

The man walked past him and headed outside the place. 

They were all inside waiting when they heard the sound of fighting. It was brief, ending almost immediately after it started, but it alerted the others. 

Grey raised a brow, for some reason, he felt like he had sensed the aura of the person who just came here. He didn't dwell too much on it. He saw a lot of people when coming into the town and had sensed more who were hidden, so it was normal to sense a somewhat familiar aura given it hadn't been up to thirty minutes. 

The other four looked at each other and each of them prepared for a fight. Whoever entered this place was either too weak and was killed by their companion in one blow, or was stronger than their companion and killed him with one blow, whatever the outcome was, they had to be ready.
