Chapter 268: Getting The Better Of Void

After studying the vest a little longer, Grey tried infusing elemental essence in it. Seeing that it was blue, he infused water elemental essence into it.

As soon as the water elemental essence entered the vest, it lit up with a light blue color.

“Oh, guess it was only out of energy.” Grey mumbled with a soft exclamation before continuing to feed the blue vest with elemental essence.

While he was focused on the vest, the shiny weapons he kept on the side were slowly starting to get smaller in numbers. Void would occasionally disappear, then appear. His little face had a wide smile plastered on it.

After five minutes, more than half of the items were gone, without a trace.

Grey decided it was time to test out the vest again after he infused it with water elemental essence.

Creating another statue, he wore the vest on it, taking a few steps back, he attacked it with a wind blade.

Bam!

When the wind blade got within three meters of the statue, a blue light shot out of the vest, covering the statue and everything within a one and a half meters radius of it. It was almost like an ice sphere, only, it wasn’t as solid as ice.

The wind blade came in contact with the blue light, but other than making a small sound, it didn’t go further before disappearing.

‘Hmm, this should be the attack power of a Peak Arcane Plane Elementalist.’ Grey thought to himself.

When attacking, he reduced the strength of the attack greatly, to gauge the defensive power of the blue light.

‘Isn’t it a little too dangerous, you know, doing this experiment here and all?’ Void couldn’t help but ask when he saw how freely Grey was showing his assets.

He might not have been in this world for long now, but he knew all too well about greed. He was a greedy cat after all.

‘Aren’t these enough to keep the prying eyes of people out, and besides, you’re also here. I don’t think there’s anyone here who can escape your senses.’ Grey said a little too confident in Void’s sensory ability.

Other than Overlord Plane Elementalists, there was no way any other person could spy on him, and since Void could easily sense the stages of those two Overlord Plane experts back at Zivia City, Grey felt he shouldn’t have a problem with sensing any other person in the Academy.

‘You’re right about that, but the sooner you get done with this the better.’ Void advised.

‘I’ll be done soon.’ Grey nodded, he took a glance at Void before turning around.

Just as he turned around, he looked back again, this time, at the items he wanted to use as materials. Although he didn’t know how many they were, he knew they weren’t that small.

‘There should be at least fifty there, how come it isn’t up to twenty now?’ He asked himself.

‘Unless…’ His eyes darted straight at Void who acted like he wasn’t seeing him.

‘Void, keep them back. I need them for forging.’ Grey said.

If he didn’t have any uses for them, then he didn’t mind giving them to Void. But now, he needed materials, and Void was stealing the few he had managed to acquire.

‘How can you destroy shiny things because you want to learn how to forge shiny things?’ Void asked disapprovingly.

It just didn’t make sense, Grey wanted to learn how to make shiny things, so why did he want to destroy the ones he already has?

‘Because you have to destroy to rebuild.’ Grey said.

‘Well, that’s just dumb.’ Void said not wanting to give the items back to Grey.

‘Void, they’re mine. You saw them but your greed made you steal the crystal instead of them.’ Grey sneered before walking closer to Void.

‘Fine, I’ll give them back to you. It’s not like they’re great anyway.’ Void snorted and waved his paws.

Ten weapons appeared on the ground. Seeing them made Grey smile while still looking at Void, he could see the pain in Void’s eyes as he returned them, but it was not his concern.

When Void noticed that Grey was still looking at him, he grumpily gave him another ten.

‘That’s all I took.’ He said angrily.

‘Heh! Only a fool would believe you.’ Grey smirked.

For Void to release twenty, meant he still had at least forty with him. There was no way he would believe this was all he took.

‘I’m telling you, this was all I took.’ Void tried to persuade.

Grey didn’t buy it and continued staring at him, seeing that he still didn’t want to return it, he threatened, ‘Hmm, looks like you wouldn’t be eating for the next five days.’

‘You’re such a heartless person.’ Void said before making another ten more appear.

‘Three days then.’ Grey showed Void three fingers, making him anxious.

‘Fine, take it. This is all I took.’ Void said before another twenty-three weapons appeared on the ground.

Grey had a smile on his face before dropping a single finger. Now, he had two fingers up, which meant Void wouldn’t eat for two days.

‘I swear, that’s all.’ Void almost wanted to cry. He was telling the truth, that was all the items he took, unfortunately, Grey didn’t believe.

‘You’re such a despicable person.’ Void said before taking out ten more from his storage to hand over to Grey.

They were the worst of the worsts in his spatial storage, but he still almost couldn’t bear with parting away with them.

Grey smiled before turning his attention back to the vest, he had managed to see what Void liked, although he didn’t like it more than the real shiny things, he still liked it, and it was food.

Void’s appeal for food was almost on the level of shiny things. Grey knew he was only able to take these items because they weren’t a treasure, and weren’t that shiny. Had they been on the level of the crystal Void took from Aetonth, then he would never return it. Even if it meant starving for two weeks.
