Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 781 - Talented Geniuses

Five days later.

Grey was standing outside a gorge, looking at the surrounding, he brought out the man he tortured, and seeing his reaction the moment he saw the place, he was certain they were in the right place.

All he needed to do was to play a few psychological games and he would be able to win this man over. If he could get someone reliable on the other side, it would be a huge win for him.

On his way here, he had been training for a while now. He could almost sense the increase in his earth elemental grade. He was also very close to comprehending the gravitational field that had escaped him for so long.

His other focuses were the elemental skills he acquired as gifts from the top Factions back at the competition. He had learned a few of them, but most of them were very difficult to practice without targets.

The beasts he encountered couldn't really be counted as targets since they were easy to kill.

Void had been training hard as well, trying to break through to the Sage Plane. He still hadn't been able to, even after being at the Peak of the Overlord Plane for a while now. This showed Grey that it was no easy feat to break through to the Sage Plane from the Overlord Plane. Even for a magical beast as talented as Void, he still hadn't been able to do so.

Thinking about it, he was a little scared. He spent too long at the Peak of the Origin Plane, if the same happened once he gets to the Peak of the Overlord Plane, then he wouldn't know what to do.

The fear of not repeating the same thing, he had been training his physical body to move at almost the same speed as his cultivation stage. Of course it was slower, but he was making considerable progress. He was currently close to the Fourth stage of the Overlord Plane from just his physical body alone, so he knew he still had a long way to go.

However, one of the instigators of his quick advancement was his battle under the formation. If he could create his own gravitational field, then he would be able to boost his physical training speed by a lot.

After keeping the man he tortured, Grey brought the other one. He asked all the important questions he needed. There were definitely some places he had to avoid so he wouldn't be noticed as he sneaked into the hideout. The man told him all he needed before he knocked him out and kept him back in his storage ring.

He still found it odd that whenever the people were conscious, they could not be kept in the spatial ring, but the second they were unconscious, they could be kept inside.

After making sure he was set, Grey ventured into the gorge. This was a place he knew nothing about, so he was very cautious. Since his last encounter with necromancers, he hadn't seen any other one, and he hoped things stayed that way.

As they traveled through the gorge, Grey moved with caution. He couldn't afford to give himself away to these people.

Some hours later.

He soon got to one of the checkpoints the man told him about, and just like the man said, he saw three men hiding in three different locations. According to the man, these men were only there for precautions, the true thing that would detect people was a device. It was like an array, but it was different.

Grey knew nothing about it, but the man told him how to go through it without having to fear he would be sensed by it. Following the instructions, while also preparing to escape in case he was tricked, he managed to go through it.

'Guess he didn't lie." Grey thought as he looked at his three new captives.

He wasn't foolish enough to trust the man, so he captured these three as well. After being kept in the same place as Void for a few minutes, they naturally spilled the beans. These men were weaker than the ones he encountered, being in the Origin Stage. Only one of them was at the Peak of the Origin Plane.

He continued going deeper, and with every checkpoint he got to, he acquired new captives. In the space of a few hours, he had swept most of the northern part of the gorge since he came in through that area.

'Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, then that light came in this direction as well. Is there a chance that this is where the entrance to their world is?' He thought to himself.

It would be the best hideout for these people since they would be in the safety of their realm. No one above the Overlord Plane could get in, which meant they could still fight against the people who came in.

Grey continued his journey with a serious expression, as he got closer to the middle, he noticed a strange occurrence.

"Void." He whispered.

"I can sense them as well." Void replied.

There were people in the gorge, and just like Grey, they were heading to the middle of the gorge. Not just that, but they had also sensed Grey as well.

They headed straight for Grey's location, while Grey decided it was best to stay in the same location. If they were to clash against each other, then it would be to the benefit of the horned men.

A few minutes later. A group of six youths appeared in front of Grey. The group was led by a young man who looked to be around Grey's age, but he was already at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Every single member of the group of six were youths around Grey's age, but they were all at the Peak of the Overlord Plane.

Grey could sense that compared to the Overlord Plane Elementalists he had encountered, these ones were vastly different. He could sense a slight pressure from them, this showed they were not people that he could deal with easily. If he doesn't use his Fusion State, he might lose against each of them.
