Grey accessed his options as he watched the people transported into the portal. His chances of getting in and leaving without being noticed were too low.

'Guess that's it for these guys.' He came to the conclusion that he couldn't save the group that were being sent into the portal.

If he had companions, powerful companions, then he could take the risk, but heading into a place he had basically no knowledge of, was too dangerous for people he had no connections with. As much as he would like to enter, he still didn't dare to.

While he was still thinking of the possibilities, he noticed the group of six he encountered in the gorge. They were standing in another direction, but they hadn't noticed him yet. He could also see that they were contemplating the matter as well.

This realm would definitely have countless Peak Overlord Plane fighters, if they carelessly charged in there, they would not only risk being caught, but death would also not be too far away.

The group continued discussions on the matter, and after a while, Grey saw them bring out a talisman and crush it.

After doing this, they sat down calmly and started to talk.

'Void.' Grey called out to Void telepathically. He wanted to know what they had just done.

Void nodded and vanished.

On the other side.

The group of six were conversing casually.

"How long do you think these people have before they are killed?

" A young lady asked.

"I don't know, two or three days. There's also the possibility of being killed instantly. I mainly rely on their luck.

" A young man replied.

They were still speaking when one of them paused and looked in a certain direction.

"Gil, what's wrong?

" The young man Grey spoke with asked curiously.

"I sensed a ripple in space a few seconds ago. It's very faint, but I'm sure of it.

" The young man referred to as Gil answered.

"I guess we have to be extra careful from now on.

" The young man nodded before giving the others a knowing look and heading in another direction.

Void appeared on Grey's shoulder once again before reporting what he heard. Unfortunately, he didn't hear anything good enough.

'Why did you come back so quickly?' Grey asked after hearing the small part of the conversation Void heard.

'There's a Space Elementalist in their midst, and his elemental grade is quite high. He sensed me the moment I appeared. I had to leave when he was starting to investigate further.' Void replied.

'Oh, okay.' Grey nodded in understanding before deciding it was best to wait for some time to see what these youths were up to.

There is definitely something going on, and since they were waiting, it meant they hadn't given up on the idea of heading into this realm.

Six hours later.

Grey finally understood what the youths were up to. He sensed a powerful aura rushing here, and it appeared in the blink of an eye.

With the appearance of the figure, all the horned people that were in the place froze, and before they could even move, they were dead.

Grey sucked in a cold breath as he stood in shock. He tried to hide his presence, but against someone this powerful, it was nothing more than a joke. The figure looked in his direction, squinting his eyes with a bit of surprise in it.

The figure was about to head in his direction when a bright light shot at him. The figure vanished, along with the light.

A few minutes later, the figure appeared, but he didn't bother with Grey any longer.

With a wave of his hand, he tore through space and a group of youngsters came through it.

'How powerful is he?' Grey could feel his heart beating faster and faster as he watched this mysterious man.

'Powerful enough to tear through space even when he's not a Space Elementalist.' Void replied.

He had no idea what the strength of this man was, but one thing was for sure, this was one of the most powerful figures they had encountered.

This man looked to be in his early thirties, but Grey knew not to trust looks. He had dark brown hair with brown eyes. He was well over six feet in height, and with a handsome face as well.

The youngsters who passed through the space were all in the Overlord Plane. The majority of them were in the Late stages, with a few in the Early stages.

The group of six he encountered in the gorge came out as well, standing in front of these youngsters. They were clearly the leader of this group.

The man said a few words to them before letting them enter the portal. After the group entered the portal, the man stayed for a few minutes before setting up a concealing array around the place to hide its aura from outsiders and then taking his leave.

Grey waited for a little over thirty minutes, just to be sure that the man was gone before he headed in the direction of the portal. The force field coming from the portal had reduced significantly thanks to the appearance of the expert.

Then he noticed the expert made some changes to the portal. This way, the geniuses sent in wouldn't appear in the location where the horned people would be too much for them.

Grey looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he entered the portal and disappeared.

The second he left, the man appeared once again. This time, a familiar face was with him.

It was none other than the man who protected him from the necromancer's attack some time ago.

"Why are you protecting him?

" The man asked.

"Nothing of any importance. Why are you asking?

" The man protecting Grey asked.

"He looks somewhat familiar. I'm just curious. With you by his side, I'm sure it has something to do with him, right?

" The man asked.

"It's best to pretend you didn't see me, for the both of us.

" The man protecting Grey sighed before looking in the portal.
