Chapter 213: The Greys (1/2)

Gravis walked closer to Fear City. Even though he knew that danger could wait for him inside its borders, he still went through with it. This was only a city, and even if it were an outpost of the Darkness Sect, it would only have some Sapling Stage cultivators at most. If they didn't attack him, he wouldn't care, but if they did, this would serve as a good opportunity for tempering his will. Such a fight would be supremely difficult, but there was a chance of victory.

”Gravis, wait,” came a voice in Gravis' Spirit, and he quickly narrowed his eyes, readying his saber. He didn't notice where the voice came from, and he didn't feel any Spirit encompassing him, which made him take this situation seriously.

Gravis knew that if he couldn't tell the voice's origin, it meant that the person speaking to him was talking to him from outside his Spirit's range. Gravis knew that someone at the initial stage of Spirit Forming only had a range of ten kilometers. One shouldn't forget that Gravis' Spirit had a range of 50 kilometers! The speaking person had to be, at least, in the Sapling Stage. On top of that, they knew his name, which didn't bode well.

”Over here,” Gravis heard a physical voice from his right. He snapped his head to the direction and saw some grey-robed individuals. Gravis hadn't noticed their arrival, which made him nervous. On top of that, he could see them with his eyes, but not with his Spirit. Inside his Spirit's vision, the area was blank.

”Who are you?” asked Gravis with a harsh voice, ready to strike at any point.

”I'll tell you later who we are, but first, you should stay away from Fear City,” said the one in the lead with a gruff voice. Judging by his voice, he was an elderly person.

Gravis narrowed his eyes further. ”Why?” he asked simply.

”Because you'll die if you enter,” the leading figure answered.

”How would you know that?” Gravis asked back.

The elder laughed a little. ”I know what you're thinking. Who is this person? He clearly doesn't know my power. Right?”

Gravis didn't answer.

The elder walked forward a little, making Gravis grip his saber tighter. ”Actually, I know more about you than you would think.”

Gravis lifted an eyebrow. ”And what do you know, exactly?”

The elder laughed again like he had expected that answer. ”You have unprecedented battle-strength. You have a Unity Will. You have had a Will-Aura ever since appearing in this world. You are Heaven's enemy. And to top it all off,” the elder paused after saying that, and Gravis was sure that he was smirking under his hood. ”You are from a higher world.”

Gravis didn't react outwardly, but his insides were shaken. How could that person know all this?

”Who are you?” Gravis asked.

The elder laughed slightly again, something that he seemed to be doing quite a bit, which annoyed Gravis. ”Because you and I are similar,” then the elder did an exaggerated bow. ”I am also not of this world.”

Now, Gravis could no longer keep his shock secret. His mouth involuntarily opened in shock. After some seconds, he shook his head. ”That's impossible! I am certain that you are not from my homeworld, and I am also certain that no other world can send people across different worlds.”

The elder laughed again. ”You are right. No person can send people to other worlds,” he said, and then paused. Then, the elder's smile grew, now showing through his grey hood. ”But what about Heaven?”

Gravis was back to his narrowed eyes. ”What do you mean?”
