It was finally the next day, the day after Grey had battled against his familiar and he was currently wide awake as he was outside the small cave he and Randin had camped out in at night. Waking up early, Grey was outside as he sat down on a stump deep in thought. 'I know I planned to take out the goblin lord, and I'm not scared of it. But what worries me is how I'm going to explain to mum about my hair colour.' He thought as he held his hair while pulling a strand to look at it. "Ha! What a baby." Noir spoke inside Grey's mind. "Oh, you are awake." Grey said. And Noir just scoffed. "Familiars do not sleep." "Great!" He said as he stood up from the stump and walked into a clearing a little away from the small cave. "Cause I want to ask a favour from you." "And what is that?" Noir asked. "You are strong right? The strongest of them familiars, and you have battled against the otherworlders right?" Grey asked. "Yes of course." Noir barked. "Well then, why don't you be my sparring partner everyday. I need to grow strong enough to defeat the otherworlders when they come, and I also need to gauge how strong they are from you." Grey requested. "And what is in it for me?" Noir asked. "Think about it, you said you fought against the otherworlders with your previous owner, and you lost while also resulting in the death of your previous owner. So sparring with me, not only will you regain your lost strength and powers slowly, you will also be able to take your revenge from them when the time comes." Grey smiled and Noir went silent. "Let me think about it. No thanks, not interested." Noir said. "Great, let's get started the… wait what?" Grey shouted. "You are not interested? But why?" "Did I stutter? I'm not interested and I don't need to give you a reason." Noir said and then went silent. "Noir! Noir! Noir!!!" Grey called out and he didn't get a response. "Darn it! What a useless pet." Walking back to the cave, Grey could see Randin already awake and he was packing their bags and camping equipment. "Oh! You woke up before me." Randin said. "Yeah, I just decided to go stretch a little." Grey replied then he remembered something. "The crystal from that beast, what can it be turned to?" Grey would have tried to absorb the crystal but there was no mana essence running through it as the beast didn't have any abilities so it was useless to him. "It can be turned into a boot since the beast was fast, the boot will also grant it's user speed." Randin replied. "Great then." Grey said and they finally set off again into the woods looking for the hideout of the goblin lord and his minions. "How far away are we from our destination?" Grey asked as he was using his wind spell to boost his speed in order to catch up with Randin who was running at top speed. "At this rate, we will get there in two days." Randin replied. 'Good, cause I'm starting to get tired of this.' He thought and then continued running. _________ Randin and Grey spent two days running, killing beasts, getting injured from fighting beasts, camping out and also training in order to get to the goblin base. Finally, their efforts paid off as they were hiding in a small forest area looking out at a cave that had goblins walking around it. The goblins had their spears out and they were patrolling around the cave's entrance like a guard of some sorts.

"The goblin lord and his elite squad are inside the cave with a hundred of goblin soldiers." Randin said. "How do you know their exact number?" Grey asked. "Caused I tried the same thing we are doing right now, alone. But I failed horribly mainly because of the elite squad." Randin said. "But that cave looks small, so how will a hundred goblin army fit there?" Grey asked. "Don't you remember you humans proverbs? Do not judge a book by its cover. The cave might look small from the outside, but it is massive inside. Big enough to house even two hundred goblin soldiers." Randin said. "That means it is big enough for me to move around and use my spells then." Grey smiled. "So how are we going to take care of the four goblins in front of us?" Randin asked. "Like this!" Grey said as he flew out of the small forest area at a tremendous speed then he held his hand out. "Earth magic! earth trap!" Grey said and immediately, the goblins had their feet stuck to the ground unable to move. "Wind magic! Wind blades!" He called out again and four invisible wind blades appeared and cut through the goblin's neck with ease killing them on the spot and not alerting the others inside. Randin seeing this feat had come out of his hiding spot to look at the damage Grey had caused. As he could see four goblins were dead on the spot without putting much of a fight. 'He is growing strong by the moment. And he can also switch between his elements quickly with just a slight delay. But he is certainly good with his use of powers. But those otherworlders, are still stronger than him and I can't forget when their leader struck.' Randin shuddered in fear as he remembered the devil's mask he saw that day and the devastating power he had unleashed. "What's wrong?" Grey asked as he could see Randin slightly shaking. "No, it's nothing." Randin replied back. "Good! So how about we go hunt some goblins down and reclaim your planet for you then." Grey smiled. "I will say, let's do it!" Randin smiled back as he pulled out his sword and his armour surrounded his body.
