Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 780 - Insights

When the man heard Grey's question, he froze. He had been trying to ensure that he stayed as calm as possible, but Grey was already onto them.

"Hmph! So what? Even if you know, what can you do?" He snorted coldly.

The cat was already out of the bag, so there was no use in pretending any longer. He was not scared of death, since they had the guts to come out from their world into the Aurora Continent, they were already prepared to risk it all.

With the elemental orbs they were collecting, they needed at most two hundred years, then they would be able to produce a few people that might be able to break through the barriers of their world. If one person can do this, then the shackles of their world would be broken and the others would have no problems with doing so as well.

If the person however breaks through outside their world, then it changes nothing. This is one of the reasons why the people from other worlds were strictly monitored by the top Factions. Humans didn't want to give them the chance they needed to grow to the stage where they would be a cause of worry for them. Most of the worlds had limitations of the Overlord Plane, while there are a few that had limitations set on the Sage Plane.

Grey still found these things strange since he still couldn't comprehend how an entire world would be unable to break through to the Sage Plane or become Elemental Venerables.

'Could our world be a small world to a bigger world as well?' This question has been lingering in his mind for some time now.

If there were smaller realms, then there is also a chance that there is a bigger realm, one that is higher than theirs. It was only a matter of time before they would realize they were just in as much danger as the people from these realms they use for training.

"You're going to die regardless, but before you do, you will definitely tell me where they are located." Grey's eyes were cold.

Grey's figure slowly moved closer to the man. The silence of the village was soon broken by the dreadful screams of the man as Grey and Void went to work.

Grey alone was already very dangerous when it came to torturing people, adding Void's somewhat psychotic nature to it, things went wild, extremely wild.

The man screamed in pain, wishing for death that never came. Grey and Void took their time on him, making sure he felt every single pain. The man passed out so many times that they lost count in the space of a few minutes.

After almost five minutes, and what could be said to be a successful operation, Grey turned to the other man who was already shivering before they started the torture.

"Now, where are they?" He asked coldly.

He never had the thought of getting the answers from the first man, his plan was simple. Set fear in the mind of this one who doesn't seem to be as mentally strong as the other one.

The man looked at the two bodies on his side. One of them was still alive, while he could still hear the shrill screams of the other while his horns were being pulled out.

"They are taken to our hideout some kilometers away from here, I can take you there if you want." The man replied while sweating buckets.

Grey tapped him on the shoulder with a smile, "See, I'm not such a bad person if you cooperate, am I?"

The man shook his head, "You're a good human."

Grey nodded in agreement before getting the accurate position of the hideout and then knocking out the man.

"Void, what do you think?" He asked.

"The others would definitely be long gone. I'm sure one person would be left behind to see how things turn out here. This means, we currently have only a few minutes to react, given the information we just acquired." Void replied calmly.

"I'm not talking about that, what I'm asking is if we should head there or not?" Grey asked.

He already knew the others had escaped from the second he killed the first man. What he wanted to know now was if they should get involved or not.

It would be best if he went on his way as planned, but since he was already here, he knew there would be no harm in checking things out.

"Of course, there are more horns to be taken." Void nodded, he had zero interest in the people abducted, what he was concerned about was the horns and how valuable they were.

"Alright, let's get going then." Grey nodded before keeping the body of the two unconscious men and burning the last one.

When he burnt it, he noticed a strange light left the man's body and shot in a certain direction. The light was faint, and its speed was unfathomable. He didn't notice it when Void killed the first man, but watching this one, he was stunned.

'Could this be a way to track where their world is located?' He thought to himself.

He felt maybe the essence of the men was returning back to their realm, and it was most likely possible since there were a lot of strange things going on in the world.

After taking the two men, he headed in the direction of the hideout, moving as fast as he could. He had to get there before whoever was left to scout the area got there. It was a race between them, and he was certain he would win.

'The battle wasn't that bad, thanks to their formation, I've gotten some insights on the gravitational field. I just need a few more things and I'll be able to make one of my own.' Grey thought to himself.

The force field these people made was similar to the one he had been trying to comprehend, so it was really helpful staying in it for so long. As long as he focused on training now, he was certain that he would advance in his training soon enough.
