Chapter 938 Search For The Crystal

Grey's name was placed in thirty with two thousand four hundred battle credits. He was only involved in one battle which didn't even last as long as the others usually last, and he was already in the top thirty.

"For helping your comrades in the battle field and also helping stop the battle momentarily, you're awarded five hundred battle credits each, taking your total to three thousand four hundred battle credits." The general continued.

Grey didn't think too much of this. He only helped them with the mindset of not wanting to be on the back foot. He didn't expect they would also give him battle credits for it.

His name rose three more ranks and was placed twenty-seventh.

The warriors were stunned.

"He moved again..."

They couldn't believe their eyes. Grey only partic.i.p.ated in one battle, yet he was already ranked twenty-seventh. Where would he be ranked if he were to partic.i.p.ate in two more battles?

It was unknown, and since battles didn't happen as frequently as before, they knew he would be leaving before the next battle took place.

Grey walked over to the exchange panel and when he saw the prices for books, he was a little taken aback. Each book, depending on their values, ranged from around fifteen battle credits to two hundred battle credits.

"Can I get books on arrays?" He turned to the general.

The general turned to a youth standing beside him, "Take him to the City Library, the park where the top books on arrays are kept."

The youth nodded and said to Grey, "Follow me."

Grey walked behind the young lady. She was around Grey's age, but she was still in the Overlord Plane, although, she was already at the Peak.

Grey didn't really know her and didn't really bother to talk to her. He focused on getting to the library. Once he took the books, he would keep himself locked away for some time to absorb the new knowledge he was about to gain.

The young lady didn't speak a word since Grey wasn't saying anything. She only escorted him to the library, and after helping him get past a few people there, they arrived at a secret part in the city library.

Grey was shocked, he didn't think these city libraries would have these types of places.

'Could they be connected to the City Lord's manor?'

He didn't think too much and started to pick the books he saw on arrays. In a short time, his three thousand battle credits were used up. Even the young lady was stunned by Grey's wanton spending.

These battle credits could be used to obtain valuable items in the city, he could even buy a mansion with it. Yet, Grey spent it all on books?

She looked at Grey weirdly but didn't say anything. After they left the place, Grey thanked her and left immediately. She could tell that he was in a hurry to start reading the books he picked.

When Grey got to the Inn, he looked himself up and started reading immediately.

...

While Grey was reading books, the enemy's camp was in turmoil.

The crystal Void stole was very important to them. It was an item helping them seal a Magical Beast. Once it's lost, the Magical Beast would be unleashed.

The main thing was that, the Magical Beast was kept in an hidden s.p.a.ce in the crystal, however, once it's released, it would appear in their camp.

It was connected to one of them. They originally wanted to use it against their opponents, but now, it is gone. This beast was only following their command because of this crystal, now that the crystal was gone, it would not listen to a word from them and even attack them.

Void had no idea he was holding onto a powerful beast since, all he cared about was the crystal.

"Whoever stole it is still around this area. Find the person and return the crystal here."

A Peak Elemental Sovereign yelled angrily.

The others vanished, in search of the crystal. The man who was in charge of keeping watch was on the verge of going insane. He couldn't believe it was lost on his watch.

He was the one who took finding the crystal more upon himself. If he didn't find it, the consequences would be dire. Especially when the beast was released.

The beast was a Peak Rank Eight Magical Beast, and it's strength was far above an Elemental Sovereign even though they were on the same stage. An expert above the Elemental Sovereign Plane was the one who caught it after much difficulties.

They went out in search of the item.

They headed in the direction of the city, but after thinking about what might happen if they got close to the city, they took another path and moved around.

They had to find it, no matter what!

...

The days went by and Grey was locked up in his room. The agitation of the experts was noticed by the experts in the city.

They told the others to be ready since they've noticed the movements of almost all the Elemental Venerables and Sovereigns in the other camp. They've never seen something like this before. Even if the enemy's camp suffered a heavy loss, they wouldn't be this agitated.

It didn't take long before they realized that something was wrong. Something that wasn't their doing.

Void was having the time of his life in the city, going from restaurant to restaurant to eat the foods. He wasn't disappointed by the meals around.

At first, it was difficult for him to get meals, but after time went on, the tales of a small talking black cat started to spread across the entire city. He even went as far as kidnapping some cooks to take their recipes.

The guards started to hunt for this cat, but it seemingly disappeared without a trace after a few days. No matter where they searched, they couldn't find him anywhere.
