Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 514: Trouble Lurking

Three weeks later.

Inside a cave behind a waterfall.

Grey could be seen sitting in a crossed leg position.

”Finally, my darkness element has upgraded to the blue grade. I should be able to break through to the Overlord Plane now,” He muttered to himself.

Void and Sylvia went out, with the reason of sitting here too boring.

They were currently in the Acer region, but according to Sylvia, they should be able to leave within a two more teleportations. During their journey, Grey had spent most of his time training whenever they werenʼt using teleportation arrays.

Not all cities have teleportation arrays, and some of the arrays surprisingly couldnʼt take them to where they wanted, so they had to use another form of transportation to get to a city that could let them teleport. Then there are times when the teleportation arrays were broken, and since they didnʼt want to wait, they decided to head to the next city.

….

”Hey, are you done?” Sylvia asked before walking into the cave.

”Oh, eerie,” She said after walking in.

Grey looked at her, before picking up his mask.

”Yeah, we should get going,” He replied.

After the increase of his darkness elemental grade, he was giving off an eerie aura. Initially, he thought they would take a while before coming, but who knew they would arrive sooner than expected.

”Alright,” Sylvia nodded before taking another glance at the cave.

”Whatʼs that?” Grey couldnʼt help but ask.

They were in the middle of a forest, where the hell did this two go and get a carriage from?

”Our ride. We bought it,” Void replied.

Grey looked at the duo, shaking his head. He could already tell that somewhere in the forest, there is a group of people who would be walking on foot after being robbed.

Sylvia wasnʼt too interested in robbing things this small, but Void on the other hand wouldnʼt mind. Besides, he could see shiny things all around the carriage, so he knew the reason he stole it.

”What about him, did you buy him as well?” Grey pointed at the man who was riding the horses.

”No, he volunteered to come with us,” Void replied.

”Alright, we should get going,” Grey said, too tired to ask any more questions.

He was currently focused on how he would be able to break through to the Overlord Plane. He felt he had gained a good understanding of his elements since he had been comprehending them from when he started cultivating.

The carriage came out of the forest, in front of them was a large city.

”You can head back now,” Grey said to the coachman.

Sylvia and Void looked at Grey, but came down as well.

”Thank you, Young Lord,” The coachman said to Grey, before turning the carriage around, heading into the forest.

The trio headed towards the city on foot. After getting to the city, they headed straight to where the teleportation array was located. Once they use it, they would arrive at the last city before leaving the Acer region.

After the Acer region, there were still around two regions between them and the Polaris region. The journey overall would take the trio at least three months or so. If they were fast, they might arrive before the third month.

….

Ernst City.

The Gayle family.

Two of the men looked to be around their late fifties, while the last one was around his early thirties.

”Did you say she passed through here?” One of the men in his late fifties asked gently.

”Yes, she was accompanied by a youth who has a black cat,” The head of the Gayle family answered quickly.

”Hmm, do you know of this boy?” The other man in his fifties turned to the man in his early thirties.

”No, Teacher, maybe it is someone she decided to teach on the way,” The man in his early thirties replied.

The head of the Gayle family went on to tell the trio of what happened when Grey and Sylvia came to the city.

”Hmm, she always causes trouble wherever she goes,” One of the men in his late fifties said.

”We should hurry, those from the Ferra Faction are after her. If they get to her before we do, then *Sigh*” The man in his early thirties said, a little dejected.

”Thank you for your help. Weʼll be leaving now,” The trio stood up, before walking out of the building.

The head of the Gayle family had his head bowed till they left. These were people he couldnʼt dare to offend, they were from the Middle Continent, and even the smallest family in the Middle Continent could wipe out their family easily.

Of all the continents, the Middle Continent is the smallest one, but also the most powerful. That was where all the powerhouses had strongholds.

Twenty minutes after the trio left.

Another group walked into the hall from inside the building. The group consisted of five individuals, and person in front was a youth around Greyʼs age.

”You see, I wasnʼt lying. I really do not know where they went to,” The head of the Gayle family said to the other group who just walked into the building.

This group were dressing extravagantly, and arrogant looks were on their faces.

”Hmm, fine. The boy you speak of, what does he look like?” A young man who looked to be around eighteen years old asked.

”He wears a black mask, covering half of his face. But heʼs also very handsome,” The head of the Gayle family described Grey to them.

”Whatʼs his cultivation stage?” The young man asked.

”Heʼs at the Peak of the Origin Plane, but he managed to defeat geniuses in the Second stage of the Overlord Plane. With the abilities he showed, he should be able to fight against a few in the Third stage as well. Oh, and heʼs a Space Elementalist as well,” The head of the Gayle family replied.

”You call these weaklings geniuses? Truly a village bumpkin.. But since heʼs a Space Elementalist, he might be interesting,” The young man said.
