Chapter 632: Confinement? (2/2)

”Greetings, Gravis,” the level two Emperor transmitted back. ”I know of the three beasts you're searching for. I will show you where they are.”

Gravis smiled and nodded to the level two Emperor. Normally, he would have said thank you, but Gravis didn't want to make the level two Emperor feel uncomfortable.

An image appeared in Gravis' mind, showing the general layout of the southern region and where he could find his children. Yet, Gravis had to lift an eyebrow when he saw that image. His three children were far away from each other.

'I mean, they can't always remain together, I presume,' Gravis thought as he scratched his chin. 'After all, they are three different individuals with their own beliefs. The closest one is Aris. Let's check up on him first.'

With that said, Gravis shot further towards the south. Yet, surprisingly, after only some minutes, Gravis was stopped by someone.

”Aris, are you crazy!?” a nervous and scared voice contacted Gravis. ”If the Tornado Emperor finds out that you have left your confinement, he will kill you!”

Gravis' mind immediately went wild. Confinement? What was going on?

Gravis looked over at the origin of the voice transmission and saw a black snake, a level one Emperor. By the looks of the snake, it felt very concerned and nervous right now.

When the snake saw Gravis' eyes, it became surprised. ”Oh, you're not Aris,” the snake said with a sigh.

Gravis quickly came closer. ”No, I'm not Aris,” Gravis said evenly. ”I'm Gravis, and Aris is my son.”

Now, the snake was taken aback again. ”You're Gravis?” he asked in shock.

”I am,” Gravis said. ”So, what was that about confinement?” he asked with a cold tone.

The black snake sighed again. ”Your offspring is not allowed to communicate with each other or leave. If they try to do any of that, they will be killed.”

Gravis' eyes narrowed. ”Oh? How did that happen?” he asked. ”As far as I know, confining someone is very rare for beasts. Normally, we just kill anyone that acts against our camp. So, where did all this confinement business come from?”

The black snake looked like it wanted to say something, but it kept silent. ”Talking to you is already a risk. If word gets out that I'm giving you insider information, I will be ruthlessly killed. Don't put me into a dangerous spot,” it said.

Gravis' emotions were worked up, but he didn't want to make the snake's life difficult. Instead, he asked a simple question. ”How powerful is the Tornado Emperor? You should be able to tell me that, at least.”

”Level three Emperor,” the snake answered.

Gravis narrowed his eyes. ”That's enough for me,” he said.

BANG!

Then, Gravis shot towards the south with even more speed. Gravis thought that something smelled very fishy here. If one of his three children had betrayed the land beasts' camp, they would have been killed, and if they had done something not as devastating, they would be sent to the frontlines. Keeping them confined like this would not help the land beasts' camp at all.

This meant that this confinement couldn't be for the greater good of the land beasts' camp.

So, the only other reason was personal gain. This Tornado Emperor wanted to gain something out of confining them.

Yet, Gravis wouldn't jump to conclusions. He had just learned from Morus that his expectations and knowledge about the mindset of others might not be as accurate as he believed. Because of that, the first thing he would do is to find out the reason behind why all of this was going on.

Then, he would act accordingly.
