Chapter 749: An Unrecorded Portal
Chapter 749
Grabbing a quick al from the house, Grey was off again.
He only saw Clarice at ho aning that Yami had gone out as usual.
Nobody knew where he went or what he does as he always left early and ca back late... real late.
Only Clarice would seldom catch glimpses of him when he ca back but she refused to tell Grey what was going on.
And now, she was about to be left all alone in the house with nothing to do and nobody to talk with.
The death of Vanessa and Millie created a hole of loneliness deep within her.
Before he left, Grey wanted to solve this issue.
"Noir. Can you help keep her company? Please."
The familiar didn’t reply instantly as a few seconds went by before the wolf finally appeared in front of Clarice.
"Thank you."
With that, Grey was now more than ready to leave the house to visit the Crimson Clan.
When he had been grabbing his food, Clarice spotted the burnt injuries and forcefully made him wrap his forearms in a thick bandage.
Stepping out, he let the cool breeze ruffle his hair a bit.
"I almost forgot that I had promised to modify the Crimson Lotus Clan’s weapons. I also want to modify my pendant.
If I can get Alba’s weapons up a bit, it will help
a lot. Even Clara needs so upgrading before the day of battle."
He exhaled sharply as he swung his hand in the air. His hand cut the air in an X formation.
The sa ’X’ appeared visibly in the air before a portal tore open in front of him.
"... I need more beast cores to do this."
He finally stepped through the portal that snapped shut behind him.
***
An ashen portal could be seen opening up in front of a landscape.
The land was so wide that a small town could had been built on it. Instead, a single building dominated the center of the space.
Grey stepped out of the portal and without hesitation, made his way into the building.
Inside, he was hit with a bustle of movents.
"Huh? What’s going on?" He suddenly voiced out as he saw the mbers of the Crimson Clan rushing from one side to the other trying to get sothing accomplished.
And for so reason, all of them seed to be ard to the teeth. Alba was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh? Grey." Killian just uttered without offering any explanation whatsoever and then he went on his way moving so things around.
"Can soone just explain what is going on here?" He demanded with a frown on his face.
That was when Alba could be seen coming downstairs and she looked flustered.
Weapons strapped around her waist that swayed with every step she took.
Just like Killian, she wielded two swords.
"Supre Magus." Alba noted the appearance as she walked forward.
Hearing his na, he turned to stare at the leader of the Clan.
"Been a while you appeared around here. Is everything okay?" She asked with a stoic expression on her face.
Today, she didn’t look like she was in the mood of chatting or smiling.
"Is everything okay? Why are they all moving around continuously?" Grey asked confusedly.
Alba just turned to see the others finishing up the movent.
"Oh. About that." She chuckled before explaining. "We got an intel. An unclassified portal just opened up in a no man’s land."
"No man’s land? What is that?" Grey asked with a raised brow.
The red haired woman just pinched her nose with a sigh before replying:
"It ans a land that is not on any clan’s territory. That’s where the unrecorded portal appeared on."
"Oh?" Grey muttered with a nod before asking the obvious question. "So what’s the fuss now about?"
Alba just smirked.
"The fuss is that; everybody wants to get into the portal no matter what. Except for the two big clans in the faction that is. Every other clan both independent and dependent wants to go into that portal to hunt the beasts and maybe find so special tools there."
Grey shifted slightly with a raised brow.
"Isn’t a portal like that dangerous? Nobody knows what you all might encounter in it."
"Don’t worry. This mission is not just for one clan or person, every single person that registered are going in. So if sothing happens, we got a lot of at shield." Alba let out a devilish chuckle that made Grey’s skin prickle for a mont.
Grey paused for a mont as a thought flashed across his mind.
’An unrecorded portal eh? Which ans that the beasts in it might be strong especially the boss. If I’m able to deal with enough beasts and probably the boss class, I would have enough cores to do all I want.’
"We wouldn’t have bothered risking our lives for this," Alba continued with a sigh. "But we have exhausted our reserves of beast cores producing that thousands of pills a few weeks ago.
Hence we need to hunt for more cores incase a situation arises that we might need em."
Grey nodded seemingly understanding her words.
"Yeah, okay. Whatever. Can I co along?"
"Hmm?" Alba lifted an eyebrow in confusion. "Why?"
"Well," Grey crossed his arms across his chest. "... I have never seen you or the rest of the clan mbers fight before. I need to co along to gauge your strengths to see those I hired for my mission."
Alba was about to say sothing when Grey interrupted.
"And if you all are strong, I would hate for any unprecedented incident to occur that would make
lose you all. So I need to co just in case."
"Oh." Alba muttered before footsteps interrupted her as the remaining mbers of the clan appeared.
"Alba, we are ready." Lance announced with a grim look.
"Okay then. You can co along." Alba shrugged indifferently then she turned to the others before turning back to the door. "Let’s go."
