1324 Beast's Bloodline?
***A.N: Apparently two chapters were messed up. Reload the last two, they've been fixed***
The next morning.
Grey and the Giants were already waiting outside to leave. The last person to come out was the young lady.
She took a glance at Grey but didn't say anything. During the past day, she had been trying to talk to Grey, but it has all been futile, it was like she was speaking with a wall. Grey wasn't even answering any of her questions, he wasn't even looking at her.
During the entire time, he had his eyes closed and didn't bother to spare her a glance.
Void came out and took a deep look at her, but he disappeared soon after. He didn't want to alert others.
The young lady was stunned, she had heard from Sylvia's brother that there was a small mysterious black cat that was always with Grey. She had wanted to ask about it earlier, but she didn't think it was appropriate, so she refrained.
Seeing Void appear and disappear without leaking out even a bit of aura put her on alert. She was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, yet, she couldn't sense Void. If not for the fact that the secret realm would attack anyone about the Elemental Venerable Plane, she might've concluded that Void was in the Elemental Sovereign Plane.
Had Void not appeared in her line of sight, she wouldn't have even sensed his presence. This showed how well hidden he was.
Grey said to the Giant leader, "Lead the way, there are still things to do."
The leader of the Giants didn't delay and nodded, he took to the sky, his giant figure shrinking to the size of humans as they flew through the sky.
'I wonder what sort of items they use in making their clothes.' Grey thought deep down.
The clothes of the Giant shrunk with him, fitting his new size perfectly.
He didn't bother to ask as there was no need to. He followed behind the leader of the Giant, not saying another word.
Sylvia's brother and the others were speaking on the journey. The direction they were headed was a little familiar, but they opted not to say anything.
On the way, Grey got to find out the young lady's name was Elaris. And the two men were Brax and Victor.
Grey only listened to them on the way, he had also forgotten Sylvia's brother's name and luckily for him, he got to hear it while they were headed to their destination.
Before long, he was familiar with everyone even though he wasn't even speaking with them.
It took about one hour before they got to the place they were heading to.
Josh, Sylvia's brother moved closer to Grey and said.
"There's a place here that's only accessible by humans. However, we still haven't been able to locate it yet. Don't tell me they found it." Josh couldn't believe his eyes.
"I don't know, but I think so." Grey replied.
He knew the others would be against letting the Giants go inside so he added, "Tell them not to make any rash decisions. The Giants are the ones who found it, if we dare to attack them, we're only calling more enemies for us."
"I have my way in dealing with the Gnomes, but not Giants. I can't fight off all of them." Grey warned them.
Josh nodded and relayed the message to the others. Elaris was already about to speak up against the Giants, but after hearing Grey's words, she refrained from doing so. She didn't want to cause more trouble for humans.
Grey nodded internally when he saw their reactions, at least he didn't have to worry about any of them betraying the Giants.
"It appears the others have heard of this place, they just don't know where it's located." Grey watched the reaction of the leader of the Giants while he spoke.
The leader of the Giants nodded, "It's expected, but I know locating it would be impossible for humans."
"From the looks of it, only a Giant can locate it, while humans are the ones who can open it."
The Giant leader's words made Grey realize it isn't as easy as it looks.
Who would create such a place that would require humans and Giants to work together?
Could there be an underlying meaning behind this?
Multiple questions came to Grey's head, but he didn't think too much about it, first of, they needed the Giants to take them to the place first.
The leader of the Giants didn't go back on his words, he took Grey and his companions to the place.
They were currently in a mountain range, and each mountain looked exactly the same. The five Giants went to five different mountains, and after a few hand seals, a large door appeared in the middle of the five mountains.
Grey and the other humans moved to where the door was located. The door looked ancient, and just the aura it gave off was intimidating.
When Grey got close to the door, he heard Void's voice.
"Be careful, this thing is dangerous." Grey retreated the instant he heard this, not because of Void's words, but because he sensed a powerful attraction force from the door. It was like something inside wanted to devour his blood.
Yes didn't know what it was, nor did he care to stay to find out. It was just too dangerous.
Grey wasn't the only one, the others all retreated as well.
"What's the meaning of this? You want to use us as sacrifices?" One of the Peak Elemental Venerables humans turned to the Giant, extremely angry.
"You don't understand, it needs the bloods of humans to open it up. Without it, there's no way it can be opened." The leader of the Giants explained.
"If this thing takes our blood, we will be weakened." Grey spoke up, taking a glance at the Giants.
Although he wasn't scared, he didn't want a situation where the others will also be in danger because of him.
Both parties stood on the same spot, facing each other. Grey was not willing to endanger his life as well as the life of others on just the words of the leader of the Giants. He's not that foolish.
The Giants on the other hand were staring at them with utmost sincerity, just from their looks alone, it was easy to see that they weren't lying. But Grey wasn't willing to take such an opportunity. If things went south, then it was over for the others. He still had Void, and with the help of the space element, he will not only survive, but he could also explore this place. The same couldn't be said for the others.
Once they were weakened, there was no way they could get help. And since others saw him take them along, everything will be pinned on him.
"How can I make you trust us?" The leader of the Giants asked.
He knew it wouldn't be easy to get Grey and the other humans to open the door with their blood due to how they would be after the extraction.
"We'll have to wait for at least an hour. We have no problems with removing some blood and storing it somewhere. After recovering, we can come here to open this door." Grey suggested.
"Do you think it will work?" One of the Giants turned to their leader.
"It's worth the try. But first off, you will have to remove some blood and put it there, if it's reacts to blood that's not directly from your body, then there's no harm in doing it that way." The leader of the Giants said.
Grey didn't argue, he cut open his arm and the injury only opened up for a second before healing up. He managed to extract a small pint of blood and he tossed it in the direction of the door. The door absorbed it in the blink of an eye, and red marks started to appear on the door. But the marks didn't go far before fading off. It was clear that the blood it received wasn't enough.
Those present didn't look at the door, rather, their attention was on Grey. The speed at which he healed was frightening. Even those at the Peak wouldn't heal that quickly, yet he healed up so easily. It was as if his body was in a hurry to stop any leakage.
That was not the only thing they sensed, there was also the massive energy stored within Grey's body. It was a shocking thing to think about.
Grey cut his arm open for less than a second, yet they weren't able to come to terms with how things were.
The Giants were also in awe at Grey's healing speed. They didn't think too much about his blood, although, they felt it was almost identical to that of a powerful Magical Beast.
How could a human possess the blood of a Magical Beast running through his veins?
