Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1069 Separating Once Again

Klaus and Grey continued arguing as they walked back to the city, on the way Klaus paused before looking at Grey with a smirk.

”Iʼll have to plead with you guys to wait for a while longer, I canʼt stop it.” He said and directly sat down on the ground, closing his eyes and entering a meditative state.

Grey noticed the abnormalities in his aura and nodded to the others. Without delay, he told Void to help seal the area, although there was no danger around, they couldnʼt be too sure.

Besides, the moment Klaus sat down on the ground, the area started to freeze. If things continued like this, then he would freeze the forest, and that might attract attention.

The Sage Plane might be powerful, but an Elemental Venerable would be able to defeat them. So they had to be careful.

Void sealed the area and they all watched as Klaus broke through.

It didnʼt take too long, but all of them felt chills in their bodies. Klausʼ ice seemed to be different from others.

Grey furrowed his brows but didnʼt speak too much about it. Maybe Klaus obtained something in his Faction that had helped with this. One has to know that Klaus could be said to be favored by the heavens.

Unlike others, he didnʼt need to put in too much effort and he would encounter something good.

Minutes later, Klaus opened his eyes and a horrifying cold light flashed past his eyes. The others felt as if their spiritual senses were being frozen when they made eye contact with him.

”What the hell Klaus!” Reynolds showed his dissatisfaction when this happened.

”Iʼm sorry, I canʼt control it yet.” Klaus apologized as he looked around, breathing out cold air.

”Alright, letʼs go. Iʼm in a good mood.” He laughed as they walked.

The others congratulated him and went on to enjoy the rest of their night.

….

Time went by and before they knew it, a week had gone by. Nothing interesting had happened, so they had been quiet lately, enjoying the company of each other.

It was now time for them to go their separate ways.

They didnʼt know when next they would meet up again, but they all knew that at that time, they would all be stronger, that was their plan. Become stronger, faster.

They could all sense that there was a strange sense of panic in the Aurora Continent. Theyʼve all heard of the weakening of the seal, if itʼs as they said, then war was coming. They had to be strong before then, if not, they would just be cannon fodders who would not be able to make an impact in the war.

Given their personalities, this was unacceptable!

After separating from the group, Grey and Void exchanged glances.

”What now?” Void couldnʼt help but ask.

”Iʼll go back to the Faction. Iʼm not used to the Dawson Family, so I donʼt really want to stay there.” Grey replied.

”Your parents?” Void asked.

”I gave them the communication device, I can speak with them. It might take a while to go through, but itʼs not that hard.”

”And the guy protecting you?”

”He should continue. Since the Uncle doesnʼt want to show himself, what can I do?” Grey replied.

Over the days, he had been trying to speak with the man protecting him, but all his attempts had been futile. Apparently, the man didnʼt want to speak to him. Either that, he was not following him any longer. The probability of him not following him was quite low, so he went with the former.

”Do you have any plans before I return? Mind you, Iʼll be staying for a while in the Faction. You should know Iʼve been neglecting a few things in my cultivation over the years, I need to sort them out.” Grey asked.

During his spar with his friends, when he saw Klausʼ abilities, he felt he had forgotten a few things. He was strong, so he didnʼt really get much training from the Faction. Not just that, but whenever he was not out fighting, he would either be focused on arrays or trying to comprehend the elements.

With his current strength, he could get a better understanding of how to use his strength, so he wanted to go back and see if he could learn some things from the Faction.

Techniques were different from what Klaus showed. What Klaus did was not just a technique, but there was a qualitative change in how he used his elemental essence.

Void thought for a while before suggesting they traveled around for a week or so before returning to the Faction.

Grey had only one friend in the Faction, and he wasnʼt that powerful. Even though Void could leave the Faction with him, he didnʼt find it amusing since the gap in strength had increased by a lot.

Even if Keith had broken through, he would still most likely be in the Early stages of the Sage Plane.

Void wanted to fight powerful people, and Grey was the only one who could offend such people.

The reason he said they should travel around was that he could sense something in front, but it was very faint, so he felt it would not be close by.

With the increase in his strength, his ability to sense treasures also increased as well.

Grey didnʼt know of Voidʼs plan as he readily followed him. It wasnʼt bad to see the world for a while longer. They didnʼt know when the seal would be completely broken, so he wanted to enjoy these somewhat peaceful times.

….

Somewhere far away.

”Are you sure heʼs the one who fought against us?” A voice asked in a dark room.

”Yes. Heʼs growing too fast, sooner or later he would become a problem to us.”

”Hmm, Iʼve not seen him since that time. Looks like itʼs time for me to show my face again. If I can kill him, we can get the rewards placed on his head.”

”His whereabouts are currently unknown, how are you going to get him?”

”Donʼt worry, I still have some means.”
