Chapter 448 - Repaying A Favour
The outer perimeters of the Magical Beasts' forest.
A figure suddenly appeared from what looked like a crack in the sky, crashing into the ground.
Bang!
The figure landed heavily on the ground, causing a small crater.
A group of five who entered the forest not too long ago stared at the figure in shock.
"Isn't that the guy who helped you previously?" A gentle voice asked.
A young man walked closer to the figure, looking at its haggard state.
The young man was none other than Jonas, and the lady who spoke was the one Grey saw with him when he came to Lapis City.
"What happened to him?" The lady asked, with hands covering her mouth.
"I don't know, we should take him to the camp, just to be safe," Jonas picked Grey up before hurrying to their camp.
He didn't know if Grey was being chased, but given his look, there was bound to be something or someone chasing him.
Grey's condition didn't look too good. Even Jonas couldn't help but look at Grey worriedly.
....The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
They soon got to their camp. Where they camped was under a big tree, but since the beasts in this area weren't too powerful, they didn't have much to worry about.
Jonas placed Grey on the ground, while bringing out the healing tonic they had with them. He fed it to Grey before moving out of the camp.
Even though he trusted his friend, he didn't feel too safe with disclosing Grey's identity to him. The young lady wouldn't want to do anything to offend him, so she wouldn't speak about it, but he didn't really know too much about his friend since he also had a deep hatred towards those from the Lunar Academy.
Grey could even be said to be the person he hated the most. The reason for this, his elder brother was the one Grey's Teacher slapped to death back at the Capital during the competition. It was unknown what he would do once he finds out about this.
The young lady sensibly shut her mouth, not speaking about Grey or where he came from.
....
The next morning.
Grey opened his eyes, looking at his strange surroundings. He hastily tried to stand up, while also getting into a defensive position. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so because of the pain that ran across his entire body as he tried to do so.
'Damn it! I not only stayed in the Fusion State for too long, but I also forced myself to continue escaping through the spatial tunnel. That stupid bear, even with my help it almost killed me,' He gritted his teeth angrily as he thought.
Just when he was about to successfully blink away from the place, the bear sneak attacked him, disrupting the spatial tunnel. Had he not been in the Fusion State, he would've lost control of the tunnel and would probably have died from it.
He couldn't help but hate the bear the more he thought about it.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice asked.
Grey looked towards the entrance of the tent, and a young lady could be seen looking at him.
"Oh, it's you! Wait, how did I come here?" Grey couldn't help but ask.
"You fell from the sky, luckily, Jonas and I were nearby, so we brought you back here to recover," The young lady replied.
She turned outside the tent before saying, "Jonas, he's awake,"
"Oh,"
Grey heard a calm 'oh'.. He knew the voice belonged to Jonas, but he still perked up since he could sense there were other people around.
