Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1215 Abandoned Underground Castle

Grey had the same expression from when he removed his mask till now. His nonchalant expression was something that had been with him for a long time now. It has always been difficult for others to read what was going through his mind since he barely reacts to things. Other than the times he had shown anger, his facial expression when communicating with others, especially people he regards as enemies has always been one of nonchalance.

The son of the Dawson Family Head turned to the golden robed man, ”Taking a weak little girl with us is only going to inconvenience us.”

”How sure are you that he would even go with us?” One of the youths with the son of the Dawson Family Head asked with mocking smile.

Grey didnʼt reply to their words and kept his gaze on the golden robed man, ”She will not inconvenience you in any way.”

The golden robed man looked at Grey, ”How strong are you?”

He was quite curious about Greyʼs strength. From the way the son of the Dawson Family Head spoke to Grey, he could already guess that they were acquainted, and their relationship wasnʼt the best. If Grey only had the strength of a Seventh stage Elemental Venerable, then there was no need in bringing him with them since he was insistent on taking Cori with them.

At most, only ten Seventh stage Elemental Venerable would go with them. There were fifteen here, so he didnʼt mind kicking Grey out of the group.

”Strong enough to participate.” Grey replied casually.

The golden robed man looked at him and fell deep in thought, he closed his eyes, and when he opened it, a light beam shot at Grey. The light beam was very fast, but it was well regulated by the golden robed man, only those who were close to the Eighth stage and above could deal with this attack.

If Grey finds it difficult to handle this attack, then he wouldnʼt go with them. For some reason, he didnʼt think this would be enough to stop Grey. If he was testing anyone else in the Seventh stage, he wouldʼve used strength of a Seventh stage Elemental Venerable, but from the way Grey had spoken all this while, he thought very highly of him.

Those in the Eighth and Ninth stage saw the attack shooting at Grey and they looked on to see how he would deal with it.

Grey stretched out his hand, and under the shocked gazes of every, he grabbed the light beam.

”Moron.”

Someone snickered from the crowd. The voice came from the son of the Dawson Family Headʼs group.

While everyone was waiting for Greyʼs hand to turn into meat paste, they didnʼt get the expected reaction. Rather, Grey was still standing there, his hand still grabbing onto the light.

The powerful light beam they thought would destroy Greyʼs hand turned docile and eventually faded off.

The expressions of everyone, including the golden robed man changed. They looked at Greyʼs hand and saw that it was covered with a dark light. It was easy for them to sense the space element from it.

”I see.” The golden robed man muttered.

A Space Elementalist has always been a dreadful figure for most people if encountered. These people, especially those who have a good grasp and understanding of the space element can easily decimate a large group without putting in too much effort.

While they were all marveling at Greyʼs strength, Grey couldnʼt help but chuckle internally.

The only reason the space element appeared was to hide his terrifying physical strength. He used his bare hands to block that attack.

Since the expedition in the secret realm, his physical body has always been stronger than his cultivation stage. So even now that his cultivation stage was in the Seventh stage, his physical strength is almost equivalent to a Ninth stage Elemental Venerable.

Grey was automatically the first person picked out among those in the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. Although there were some that felt they could block that attack too, they didnʼt think they could do it as casually as Grey was doing it.

The golden robed man quickly picked out the people who would be joining them and they soon set off. Grey was naturally part of that group.

On the way, he didnʼt even spare the group from the Dawson Family a glance, there was no need to. All he needed to do was to make sure that he would get whatever reward there was and leave. Well, other than that, he was hoping to see something similar to the golden energy. From what he knew, the golden energy and chaos energy were not the only types of energy in this place. If he could get more, it would add more to his strength.

Cori naturally went with him, Void and the bunny leader were still resting in his storage space. His plan for them was to help protect Cori if there was any form of danger to her life while they were there.

The journey took two days.

….

The group arrived at an abandoned underground castle. Well, it was more like a small City that resided inside a castle. The castle was extremely large, and after entering inside, they saw multiple buildings.

Grey and a few others who were not from the Chaos Battlefield were dumbstruck by the place. It had an archaic air around it and it was obvious that it had withstood the passage of time.

At the gates of the castle, there were statues that stood over a thousand meters high. Each statue felt like it was alive, and it exuded some sort of pressure on the people walking into the place.

Cori walked close to them, and just as she was about to touch one, Grey held her back and shook his head, he could sense something off in this place. It wasnʼt hard to guess there was something off, after all, the golden robed man brought them here in hopes of getting treasures.
