The young lady from the Nether Faction looked around after the attack died down, when she saw Grey's group, she didn't attack as Grey thought, instead, she slowly observed the others in the place. She was not alone, there were three people with her, but in terms of overall strength, she knew her group was inferior to Grey's. 

Grey also didn't bother with her since he didn't see any reason to get into a battle with her now. He immediately got to work with the seal. The seal would close automatically after creating an opening, so Grey wasn't bothered that others would benefit from his hard work.

Before long, he cracked it, opening it for his group, he turned to Conor, "Are you coming?" 

Conor thought about it, he could sense that something was going on with Grey and the group of four who just entered the place. He looked at the others from the Dawson Family and they all showed excited expressions. Since that place was sealed off, it meant it had things that were superior to the ones that were in this place. 

Conor nodded after seeing how eager the others were to get in. The son of the current Family Head was not present, if not, he might not have agreed to getting Grey's help. 

The group from the Dawson Family stepped in, Grey threw a glance at the young lady before walking past the seal. The moment Grey walked past, one of the people Grey met there moved with lightning speed, trying to get into the small opening that was left since the opening was closing. Just when he was about to step in, a pale blue fireball exploded in front of his face, pushing him back. 

"Ah…" The young man yelled, not expecting an attack to suddenly come, he was hit unprepared. 

The young lady from the Nether Faction heaved a sigh of relief, she was very familiar with those pale blue flames of Grey. 

"A cunning fellow, it's best we don't have any more encounters with him." She muttered. 

Unlike most of the people she had crossed paths with, Grey didn't rely on his superior abilities, he has a variety of ways to sort out each problem and he seems to almost always come out on top. This was a figure she would rather not make an enemy of since Grey held back from attacking her, then she would stop attacking him.

Grey and his group appeared in another hallway, and unlike the previous one, there were multiple doors this time. Everyone headed to try out different doors, hoping they could find something good. 

Grey took Void and the bunny leader and walked further into the hallway. The duo were great with treasures, so he was sure the best things would be located by the duo. And his instincts weren't wrong, after walking past about thirty doors, Void and the bunny leader showed some reactions and darted for a brownish door that the wood seems to be decaying. 

When Grey got there, he was shocked by the state of the door. It was the only one in this condition, the others were in great condition. 

"The decay power of the darkness element." He muttered after touching the door. He could sense that there used to be a seal on it, but it had been corroded to the extent of not being able to function any longer. 

Grey opened the door and stepped in, the first thing he saw were two dried up corpses on the ground. 

"Stay sharp, there might be danger up ahead." He warned Void and the bunny leader. 

It hadn't been more than an hour since these people died, and thinking of the fact that they managed to get past the seal showed that they were top geniuses even among geniuses yet they had died in this place, and it seems to be in the hands of the same person.

The room was quite large and there was another door on the side, Grey looked around but didn't find anything of value. 

"The person who killed them must have taken the things." 

They turned their attention to the other door which was in the same condition as the one they used in entering this place. 

He didn't speak much, preparing himself for a potentially dangerous battle forthcoming. 

When he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure. It was a little girl who was surrounded by five people in black cloaks. He recalled seeing this girl while they were in the secret realm, but at that time she was leaving the stage he appeared in. 

"I thought you would never come." The little girl giggled when she saw Grey. 

"Necromancer?" Grey asked a straightforward question. 

"What do you think?" The girl asked. 

"You're here for me?" Grey asked another question. 

The girl's reply was the same as the first time, "What do you think?" 

Grey didn't ask anymore questions and studied the figures covered in cloaks standing around the girl. They were standing in a particularly odd formation which made Grey a bit apprehensive. 

"Kill him." The little girl said casually. 

The five figures covered in cloaks didn't say anything and attacked Grey immediately. 

Grey was already prepared for an attack from them, sensing their cultivation stages, he heaved a sigh of relief. They were all in the Third stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. Although it wouldn't be easy to deal with them, especially when he didn't know how they fought, he knew he at least stood a chance against them. 

The five cloaked figures surrounded Grey and all sent out black palms. 

When Grey sensed the threat of the astonishing level of decay in their palms, he was slightly frightened. He knew not to allow these palms to touch him, even if he had increased the usage of his light element, it would be had to fend off against all five of them at the same time. 

His armor had slightly recovered thanks to him feeding it with some of the essence he got from the orb. Using the armor and his Dragon scales, he blocked the palms, he held onto one of the palms and dragged the person close to him, releasing a punch on the chest of the figure. 

The figure was sent flying, disrupting the formation of the group. Grey noticed the cultivation stage of each of them dropped by a stage, going to the Second stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

"No wonder! Such a nice array!" He couldn't help but praise. Being an array fanatic, he was intrigued at how they managed to do this. He knew of arrays that could increase the power of an individual if multiple people use it, but he wasn't too familiar with one that would collectively increase the strength of everyone on the formation.

The girl looked on with intrigue, not showing any signs of being worried. 

'Void, keep an eye on her.' 

Grey didn't allow Void to fight now, he was hoping to keep him a secret weapon that would help him in case things went south. Given how calm the girl was, he knew she wasn't afraid in the least bit. 

The other four figures didn't bother about the one sent flying, they each started to attack with the darkness element. 

Grey blocked the attacks but was pushed back. When he saw that the cloaked figure he sent flying was heading back to the formation, he vanished and appeared close to the figure, striking out another powerful punch. 

The figure didn't take the blow without doing anything like the last time. Seeing the fist coming, the figure raised an arm and blocked the fist. 

Grey imbued the fire element in his fist, so when the blow connected, the cloak on the figure's arm caught fire and Grey saw a black hand beneath the burnt cloak. 

"What are you?" Grey couldn't help but ask. 

The hand was stronger than that of a normal Elementalist, and it made Grey think otherwise. However, compared to the usual puppets he fought against, there wasn't any form of darkness controlling them. 

Grey had tried to break the connection of the girl and these puppets. He originally felt they were puppets after confirming the girl was a necromancer, but he was disappointed when he couldn't. 

He tried to look into the face of the figure but the cloak covered it completely and all he could see was unending darkness. 

He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of fire. Since he was the same height as the figure, he aimed it at the face.

The figure tried to retreat but Grey held on and didn't let go. 

The flames destroyed the cloak covering the figure's face and Grey was met with something he had never seen before. 

He didn't know if the person was alive or dead, but all he could see was a hairless black face with glowing golden eyes that looked like golden flames.
