Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 996 I’ll Introduce You Next Time

”I can see you grew stronger.” Lucas commented as he studied Grey.

From being in the Fifth stage of the Sage Plane, Grey had gone to the Sixth, getting really close to the Seventh stage.

If Lucas knew that Grey was only in the Fourth stage a few weeks ago, he would be stumped.

”Can you tell me what itʼs like?” Lucas suddenly asked.

”Huh?” Grey looked at him, a little confused.

”The orb in your body, whatʼs it like?” Lucas asked.

Martha looked at Lucas, before giving a glance at Arlys.

”I should go check on my wife.” Arlys knew that was the cue to leave, without waiting for anything else, he vanished.

”Thereʼs no need to chase him, he probably knows more about it than we do.” Lucas said.

Arlys had been with Grey for so long, so he should pretty much have found out about almost everything. This was the reason he didnʼt bother about him, since there was no need to.

”Itʼs still better to be on the safer side.” Martha replied.

”Youʼre right.” Lucas nodded.

”Well, thereʼs this senior I saw in my consciousness after it activated…” Grey went on to tell them pretty much everything about the orb.

His father was the one who placed it in his body in the first place, so hiding it from him was not really useful. Seeing the shocked expression on their faces as he told him about the secrets of the orb, he was a little amazed they knew pretty much nothing about it.

Originally, even though his mother told him his father found it in an underground cave, he still didnʼt think they would have pretty much no knowledge of it.

ʼArenʼt they a little too careless?ʼ He asked Void, feeling a bit sad.

There was a probability that the orb would have a dangerous side effect on him, and his father placed it on his body without even knowing.

ʼIn their defense, you were already dying. It wasnʼt like there was anything else they could do.ʼ Void replied.

ʼYeah, you have a point.ʼ Grey nodded to Voidʼs words.

Void was in the storage ring, so he heard everything Lucas said when speaking with Grey.

”Thereʼs a space inside the orb?” Lucas asked again when Grey told him how he could enter the place to check his elemental grades.

”Yeah, itʼs pretty big actually. Iʼve explored it a few times, but only saw a vast expanse of land with nothing else. Other than mountains and trees, there is also water inside, itʼs quite incredible. But Iʼve not seen a living thing inside though…” Grey explained.

During one of the days he was free, he decided to explore the place. Apparently, the higher his cultivation grew, the more lifelike the place seemed to be.

When he first explored it, there were only mountains and trees, but now, he saw water during his last trip.

”Definitely a God Plane Elementalist.” Lucas muttered.

”Not any ordinary God Plane Elementalist. It takes great power to create such a place. Itʼs almost equivalent to those secret realms.” Martha added.

”Yes. Did you say it looked more lifelike the stronger you get?” Lucas asked.

Grey nodded.

Lucas fell deep in thought, after a while he asked again, ”What did this senior you saw say to you?”

Grey didnʼt remember word for word what he said, but he pretty much got the crux of what he said and told that to his parents.

”Just that?” Lucas asked to be sure.

”Yes.” Grey nodded.

”Alright. Keep this a secret, I heard you have some incredible friends, Iʼd like to meet them someday.” Martha said with a smile.

”Alright mom, they are around the same location. I can invite them over if you want.” Grey suggested.

Honestly, he wanted to celebrate finding his parents with his friends. Well, technically, he didnʼt find his parents since they came to him, but it was the same thing. They were finally reunited.

”Iʼll have to go now. You still have to decide if you want to go into that secret realm.” Lucas said after some time.

”Iʼm definitely going.” Grey said.

He fought that hard because he wanted to make it into that secret realm. He had already exerted his revenge on the person he wanted to fight, for the rest of the battle, it was purely his desire to win and also go into the secret realm.

”You already know the dangers there, if you still want to go, then I wonʼt stop you.” Lucas nodded, not arguing with his sonʼs decision.

It might be difficult for Grey to move there, but with his strength, and also his head, he should be fine. Grey is a scheming individual, even though he hadnʼt been with him, from how he tricked Bill into admitting defeat even when he couldnʼt fight any longer showed it.

If those guys thought they would be able to easily get him, then they were in for a surprise.

”Arlys will take you back to the Burchard Family, they should be waiting for your arrival.” Lucas said as he turned around, preparing to walk away.

”Okay.” Grey nodded, not too surprised his father didnʼt suggest they headed to the Dawson Family.

”Iʼll introduce you to the Family when you return. Try to get to the Elemental Venerable Plane before you return.” Lucas vanished after saying this.

”Donʼt mind your father, heʼs just paranoid.” Martha gently caressed his cheek before following in her husbandʼs footsteps, leaving Grey alone to his thoughts.

”I canʼt believe my parents are actually this powerful.” Grey muttered to himself.

This was out of his expectations. He knew they were Elementalists from their time in Red City, but it was still a shock to him that they were this strong. His father is literally someone that was respected across the entire Aurora Continent, someone tagged as a generational talent.

”Itʼs better than them being weaker than you if you ask me.” Void commented.

Grey and Void continued speaking before Arlys arrived.

”Letʼs go.”
