"Let me introduce everyone," said the elder. "My name is Byron." Then he gestured to one of the others. The youngster walked forward and stood beside Byron. "This is Drake. He was once part of the Fire Guild in the Middle-Continent. He fled the Fire Guild when he killed one of his disciple brothers. I won't go into the details since it's personal, but he had a good reason to do that, and I won't fault him for that."

Gravis looked at Drake, and they shook hands. Drake had red hair, yet his eyes seemed sinister. Gravis didn't judge people based on their looks, so he didn't really care.

"Hello, Gravis. I've heard much about you from Elder Byron," Drake said with a cold face, which didn't match his words. "I know that you will be a tremendous help to us."

"Likewise, Drake," Gravis said with a smile.

By now, Gravis was not worried about his Karmic Luck infecting others. Byron came from a different world, and they were here with Heaven's permission. On top of that, the other Heaven surely also kept watch. If this Heaven reduced the Karmic Luck of a member of the Greys, the other Heaven would most likely protest.

As Gravis thought about it, he was actually quite happy. Due to the circumstances, this was probably the first organization where he didn't have to keep his distance from everyone. Finally, he could truly work together with others and build some companionship.

Elder Byron then gestured for another person, who also stepped forward. "This is Creed. He was born in the Core-Continent but never managed to join any Elemental Sect. Sadly, this talent bloomed after he was already too old to join. He has managed to reach the power of average cultivators of Elemental Sects without having ever cultivated an element. Of course, with my Battle Techniques, his strength only increased even more."

Gravis was astonished by this. Battle Techniques that didn't involve elements were supremely rare in this world. Creed had to basically create a whole new fighting style without any guidance. This was really impressive!

"That's really astonishing, Creed. How did you do that?" asked Gravis as he shook Creed's hand.
