Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1094 Cruel Fate

ʼSo this is where Grey got it from.ʼ Alice thought to herself as she looked at the young man with scales.

He didnʼt seem to have as much as a powerful body as Grey, but his physical strength was definitely far better than a regular Elemental Venerable. This person was an Elemental Venerable, so she didnʼt dare to go close to where the battle was taking place.

When she arrived, the people from the Vaergahl Family who were fighting sensed her, but after sensing her cultivation stage, they didnʼt bother with her. She was alone in the first place, and she was not as strong as they were. Other than looking from the side, there was nothing she could do to them.

Alice didnʼt stay any longer, she knew some people might not be comfortable with a third party watching when they were fighting, and she didnʼt want any misunderstandings, even if she had strong friends, she might be dead before anyone would come to her rescue.

After leaving, she headed further into the ruin.

…

Ellis was also heading deeper into the ruin. Even though they all took different paths, their destination was pretty much the same, go as deep as they could. They all knew the deeper they went, the better the things they might obtain.

Ellis was powerful, he could be counted among the top ten strongest people who entered this place, so he was moving more freely compared to the others. Unfortunately, he hadnʼt seen anything good all this while.

The young lady who was with him was looking around curiously. Theyʼve searched a few of the buildings around, but they didnʼt get anything good. Other than tables and chairs, they hadnʼt been able to see anything good.

While they were moving, they soon caught sight of a large building. They saw a few people around the building and went closer to investigate. When they got closer, Ellis noticed it was like a library.

”This place should be interesting.” He moved closer to the building and entered.

Some people wanted to stop him when he got close to the door, but when they sensed his cultivation stage, their expressions changed and they let him be. They couldnʼt afford to fight against such a figure.

….

Inside the building, rows of bookshelves lined up. But compared to Ellisʼ expectations, they werenʼt filled with books. There were some books in some places, but most of the bookshelves were empty.

….

On Greyʼs end.

He had no idea what the others were doing at the moment, he was more concerned about himself and Void. Presently, they still hadnʼt been able to get anything good as well.

After encountering the robe, he felt that this place would be loitered with treasures, but the reality of things were different. Even after traveling for hours, other than Magical Beasts, he hadnʼt seen anything good again. Not even a single good herb.

”I thought they said this place was filled with treasures?” He couldnʼt help but complain.

”That doesnʼt seem to be the case. I canʼt sense anything.” Void replied.

He was very sensitive to treasures, but he still couldnʼt sense anyone. At the moment, he was feeling a little bored in this place. He had even taken the initiative to fight a Magical Beast to try to eliminate his boredom, unfortunately, it wasnʼt enough.

”Since thereʼs nothing, letʼs go deeper. I donʼt believe that this place will not give us anything.” Grey said and increased his speed.

He even started to fly in the sky, but he made sure not to go close to the place where the space cracks appears. He wasnʼt sure he would be able to survive that, and he didnʼt want to test it out.

Void didnʼt say anything and rushed after him.

….

Time went by, and before long, the people had spent over a week in the ruin.

With a week gone, most of the treasures that were in the outer perimeters of the ruin had been salvaged, so everyone was now rushing deeper into the ruin. People encountered each other more frequently now and fights broke out as well.

Even with the reminder of the leader of the Heavenly Fate Faction, some people who came into this place were enemies, so whenever they encountered each other, they would fight.

The Syphilis Faction hated the Pyrmond Faction, especially this generation of their members since they were the ones who lost the secret realm to the Pyrmond Faction. They were all searching for Grey, hoping to find and kill him. Grey was their greatest threat, so they wanted him dead.

”Tell me where he is and Iʼll let you live.”

A cold voice said as a figure could be seen lying on the ground.

”Iʼve told you repeatedly, I donʼt know.” The figure on the ground managed to look at the person standing before him, his eyes filled with despair, as well as hatred.

He naturally didnʼt want to die, but against this person, he stood no chance, he could already feel his life force slipping away from him.

”Then die, trash.” The figure said coldly and attacked.

”Haha, Iʼll wait for you. The moment you meet him will be the time of your death.” The young man from the Pyrmond Faction died while laughing, he had given up, and they had already decided to kill him, so why let them see him in despair?

He laughed, laughed at himself for being too weak, laughed at his cruel fate. In the end of his laughter, one could sense unwillingness and regret. His voice soon faded away, it was as if he never existed in this world.

”Where do you think heʼs hiding?” Another person from the Syphilis Faction asked the young lady who just killed the young man.

”I canʼt tell, but Iʼm sure we will find him before we get to the deeper parts of the ruin. I wonder how he would react.” The young lady said.

If Grey were here, he might recognize this young lady. She was one of the strong people he fought against during the competition with the Syphilis Faction.
