Grey handed Arya and her brother to the triplet before he continued on his journey. He explained to Arya that the trio would take care of her while he went in search of what he would use to heal her brother.

She could only follow the triplet reluctantly, after bidding farewell to Grey and Void.

"Aren't you going to tell her it might take a long time?" Void asked as they watched the triplet take Arya and her brother away.

"It's not necessary. She's still young, it wouldn't be good if her hopes are crushed. I'll try to fish out for news on items like this whenever I pass through a city. If possible, then I'll get it for him. If not, he'll have to wait till I'm stronger, then I can travel far in search of it.

Void agreed with Grey's reasoning before they started their journey once again.

…

The days went by quickly, and before the duo knew it, two months had already passed.

After traveling for months now, they were already in the Middle Continent. They've been in the Middle Continent for around two week now.

Just before they entered the Middle Continent, Grey broke through from the Third to the Fourth stage of the Sage Plane, thereby increasing his strength once again.

Now that he was in the Fourth stage of the Sage Plane, he was a hundred and ten percent confident in winning the battle. Well, that was if the person he wanted to fight against hadn't broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane. At the time when he was still in the Origin Plane, the young man was already in the Overlord Plane.

It has been almost two years now, and it could be said that no one matched Grey in terms of advancement speed. He felt that even if the young man who arrogantly attacked him that time had gone far in his cultivation, he would be at the Peak of the Sage Plane. This was him giving him the benefit of being from a powerful family.

'Why haven't you started to search for that lady by now?' Void asked.

Compared to the other Continents, the Middle Continent was not even half the size of the other Continents. So Grey could easily find the Family Sylvia was from by asking anyone he saw. According to Sylvia, her Family was a top Family, so they were pretty famous.

"I don't want to meet up with her now. She's too troublesome." Grey replied.

The small time he spent with her the last time was a little hellish, he went from tournament to tournament, and it was exhausting. Even though he gained a lot from it, it was still tiring to fight. All he did was train and fight, even for the normal Grey who was a training addict, he felt mentally exhausted from all the battles. Now that he came a little earlier, he wanted to spend some time alone. Besides, he was still working on his arrays, when he digested everything he learned from the Laurel Region, he was certain he would make significant progress in his training in the art of arrays.

The stronger his knowledge in arrays, the better his inscriptions would be. He could even unleash power that is at least a hundred percent of his power, even going as far as a hundred and fifty percent attack power.

Not just that, but when fighting, he could easily draw arrays faster and use it to bolster his strength while weakening his opponents.

Currently, he had been thinking of a way to intricate his gravitational force field into arrays. If he could do that, then it would be a significant boost for his strength. He could even create a large area where he would use it.

Take for instance he was fighting against a large army, he could use the gravitational force field to slow them down and release a barrage of large scale attacks on them.

'A shame I wasn't able to get that phantom technique from that old man.' He thought when he recalled the phantom he fought when fighting against the old man.

In his journey so far however, the greatest gain Grey had seen so far was not his , but it was that he had finally seen a way to clean the mark off his body!

With the help of Sega, as well as his own ability in arrays, he was able to remove some of the mark. Unfortunately, the price paid was a little over the top. Just to clean around three percent of the mark, he actually used the life force of over a hundred people.

These were people who were bandits that he decided against killing and instead using for his experiments. It was a little overboard, but since he would kill most of these bandits and experts who tried to kill him, it wasn't really too different. In the end, they still died under his hands.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of a way to get more bandits and criminals. As long as he used these types of people, he wouldn't be too worried since it wasn't against his morals. Only when he used innocent people would he feel guilty.

"So, what do we do with our time here?" Void couldn't help but ask.

He wasn't one who liked idling, if Grey wanted to sit alone, he didn't want to entertain him.

"We should travel around. Even though this place is small, it's still quite large. We might find some interesting things before the time of the battle." Grey replied.

They still had around two months left, well, not up to two months, but it was very close.

He wanted to travel around for a month or so, before going in search of Sylvia's Family. It shouldn't take more than a week for him to locate her.

Void was elated with Grey's decision since he wanted that as well.

The duo soon walked out from the forest they were in and a city appeared in their line of vision.
