Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1753: Leaving The Pyro World

Pyro World.

Grey stepped out of the Earth vein resolutely. He didnʼt have to think about it too much; from his guess, it would take some time for him to refine the darkness elemental treasure, and although it wasnʼt as powerful as the space elemental treasure, it wasnʼt far behind. This alone isnʼt enough to make him give up; rather, he knows that his mastery of the darkness element isnʼt as high as his space element. Of the five domains Grey currently has active, the one he rarely uses is his water domain. The reason he was able to quickly awaken it was due to refining a treasure of a Water Elemental Dragon. His silver-colored dragon scales are enough to let him guess the affinity of the dragon.

Thereʼs a chance that he might be able to awaken his darkness domain if he refines this treasure, but the chances are very low. Other than a small increase in his cultivation, he wouldnʼt have any significant increase in strength, so he opted to wait until he was confident. After stepping out of the Earth vein, there was someone outside. Itʼs normal for some people to exit seclusion early, so itʼs only natural that thereʼs someone there to keep track of the people still in the Earth vein.

When Grey stepped out, the person who was outside rushed over to his side. It was a Seventh stage Venerable. When the young man saw Greyʼs face, he froze in front of him, unable to make any sound.

The young manʼs strange behavior made Grey a bit uncomfortable and he coughed softly to draw the attention of the young man.

Being woken from his state of stupor, the young man felt a bit embarrassed but hurriedly bowed to greet Grey.

”How long has this place been open to others?” Grey wanted to confirm how long he had been there.

”Two months.” The young man replied hurriedly.

Grey didnʼt expect that he would stay there for this long. The space elemental treasure truly is something extraordinary. He nodded to the young man before leaving. There was nothing else here for him, and other than most Elementalists, he didnʼt like staying in retreat for too long, especially in a foreign place. From his days in the Lunar Academy, he has gotten used to always traversing dangerous situations and growing from them. The reason he has grown this much is due to this repeated act, and he didnʼt have any plans to change his methods. He has barely had any issues with his foundation because he always consolidates his realm after his breakthrough, and in most cases, he does that with battles.

Pyro Hall.

Grey was standing with Faction Leader Bertram in tow, and before him was Lord Dante and three Elders.

Each of these people made Grey feel a shocking level of pressure, he was certain that a single blow from any of them would be enough to wipe him out of existence.

”You want to leave?” Lord Danteʼs surprised exclamation rang out in the Hall. He never expected that Grey would only stay in the Earth vein for just two months and then choose to leave the Pyro World.

”Forgive me.” Grey apologized, seeing the look of hesitation in Lord Danteʼs eyes, he explained, ”Iʼm not used to staying in one place for too long. If Senior knows about my background, I believe Senior will understand my situation.”

Lord Dante squinted his eyes as he looked in Greyʼs direction. He knew about Grey, and according to the information, there was no knowledge of Grey being part of the Dawson Family, in fact, there was no information about Grey in the Aurora Continent until a few years ago. And when Grey appeared all those years ago, he mostly traveled alone. Only a few years after he rose to fame did his true identity leak.

Itʼs unknown if the Dawson Family were truly ignorant of his existence or not, but itʼs common knowledge that Grey wasnʼt trained by the Dawson Family. And from his and his friendsʼ mouths, some people have been able to find out that Grey didnʼt come from the Aurora Continent, but rather, a smaller Continent that didnʼt even have half as much essence as the Aurora Continent, and he only came here by mistake.

”Given the current state of affairs, you know the Gnomes will actively try to take action against you. But if you stay here, itʼs unknown how much growth youʼll have made in five to ten years.” Lord Dante spoke after some time.

Grey gave him a deep look before asking with a wry smile, ”Does Senior believe we have that much time?”

Greyʼs question made Lord Dante pause for some time; from his eyes, everyone knew his answer, but since he hadnʼt spoken up yet, they all watched him.

”Indeed, I donʼt believe ten years is possible.” Lord Dante took a deep breath before staring at Grey and adding with a serious expression, ”But five years is feasible.”

Lord Dante knew that someone like Grey was better left to grow in the dangers of the world. But he couldnʼt bear to see not just someone he had high hopes for, but someone he felt could most likely break through the barriers of this world and help them pass over the crisis of being invaded.

Grey could tell that Lord Dante was hesitant to let him go most likely cause he valued his talent greatly, and he didnʼt mind. After all, if not for his motherʼs slightly unyielding character, there was a good chance that his grandfather wouldʼve never let him leave the Lyttelton Family. But in fear of completely ruining the relationship between him and his daughter, who had been gone for such a long time, the Lyttelton Family Head could only give up.

Now, Grey is in the same situation again, and there is no way he could leave if Lord Dante didnʼt want him to go. A thought soon came to his mind and his confidence increased. Of course, he knew that Lord Dante wouldnʼt forcefully keep him here, he also felt that if he could help him out with something, it would be easier for the other party to let him go.
