Clang!
The second the tip of the chalice entered the small river, it made a clunking sound as if it was hit by another metal.
Grey hastily tried to remove the chalice after what seemed like a single drop of water entered. However, his expression changed when he realized he was unable to drag the chalice up. With much difficulty and reinforcement from all his elements, he only managed to raise the top a few inches away, before he dropped it on the ground, beside the river.
The stop he placed the chalice sank down from the heaviness.
"How's this possible?" Grey's brain went into overdrive, trying to think of what could make just a single drop of water possess such heaviness.
Klaus and the others saw how difficult it was for Grey to raise the chalice and they couldn't help but look at the river in awe. They were first astounded by it when it moved Klaus so easily, but Grey had the toughest body here, and he still couldn't carry a cup full of water?
When they took a closer look at the chalice, they felt as if their world was turning around. Initially, they thought it was a cup full of water, who knew it was nothing more than a drop. A tiny drop of water and Grey raised it with so much difficulty.
They saw how the ground caved at the moment the chalice was placed on it, so they knew whatever was in the chalice was heavy beyond words.
"A drop of water…" Reynolds was stunned.
He tried to raise the chalice, however, he almost detached himself from his hands after trying too hard.
"How could you be trying to raise it? Grey, who has the physique of a magical beast, had such a difficult time just moving it and you think you could?" Klaus asked mockingly before turning to Grey, "No offense bud."
Grey stared at Klaus, calming the urge to punch him in the face.
'You could just say I was stronger physically, what the hell is having the physique of a magical beast?!' He complained inside. Unfortunately, since Klaus had somewhat apologized, he couldn't beat him up.
'I'll think of a way to get back at him.'
"Do you think this is like a variant of water?" Klaus asked.
"I heard the pressure at the bottom of the ocean is unbearable for most. This might be something like that." Alice said.
Grey nodded, he had also read about this. If this was true, then it was a mystery as to how this water was flowing on the surface. One thing about this river was that they didn't know how deep it was. If the surface is already this heavy, how heavy would it be if they go deeper?
Klaus moved closer to the water, since he was a Water Elementalist, he had a close connection with water. Compared to Grey who had multiple elements, his connection with the water element was stronger.
He stared at it for some time before sitting down cross-legged close to the river, closing his eyes.
His strange behavior surprised the group, but they didn't disturb him.
Grey knew what Klaus was attempting to do, and he couldn't help but think of the possibility of having something like this in your arsenal. It would be the end of all defenses.
He sat down cross-legged a few meters away from Klaus and closed his eyes as well. Klaus was already attempting it, so why not.
Alice and Reynolds looked at each other at a loss, Void was laying on Grey's head, sound asleep. The duo was forced to sit on the side and cultivate as well.
Time went by and the day became night. The usual foggy forest was crystal clear at the night. The sounds of beasts were coming from all sides, but Grey and Klaus still had their eyes shut.
Alice and Reynolds were already on full alert, prepared to attack. They couldn't leave the area where the river was located due to the fear of getting lost, but they could ensure that no one got close to the duo training.
During that night, four magical beasts attacked. The one that was the most difficult to deal with was a Death Owl. It's called this because it had what looked like a skull on its back. It also mainly uses the darkness element for attacks.
Silent hunters were the most difficult to deal with, especially those that were coming from the sky. It might only be in the Early stages of the Fifth Rank, but it's a bird, so it naturally could fly.

It pestered the duo longer than any of the other beasts they battled. After almost one hour, it left, but its prolonged absence sent the duo into full alertness, they felt maybe it was biding its time. It was only after another hour passed did they finally calm down, knowing it was gone.
By dawn, Grey and Klaus still had their eyes closed, there weren't even any signs of them opening their eyes, however, there's a change in Klaus' situation. Around him, there were faint water elemental particles.
They could tell this was a sign of progress in whatever he was gaining an understanding of.
Time went on and the day turned to night again.
Void woke up this time, he went into Grey's storage ring to bring out the roasted meat that was kept there. He ate it with Alice and Reynolds and helped them fend off the beasts that attacked.
The same Death Owl came again, unfortunately for it, Void was around, and unlike the other beasts that managed to escape, it was caught.
Reynolds told Void to make sure he caught it alive, he still felt irritated by the previous night they didn't rest peacefully because of this owl.
On seeing the grin on Reynolds' face as he approached it, the owl struggled, unfortunately, it can't really escape from Void's clutches.
Reynolds didn't kill it, but he continued speaking of how they would eat it after it was dead. The owl naturally understood human language, so hearing this, it was shaking from fear.
