Affinity: Chaos



Grey and the group crossed through the border city and entered the Middle Continent. This was the first time the others were entering the Middle Continent, and from the onset they sensed the massive increase in the elemental essence around them. 

"I should've joined a top Faction here." Klaus said admiringly, "Do you think my Faction Leader would be upset if I joined another Faction now?" 

"She will most likely want to beat you." Reynolds replied. 

"So long as she doesn't kill me, taking some beating seems worth it." Klaus replied with a cheeky smile. 

"She won't kill you because there are others in the Faction who would do her the honor." Alice rolled her eyes. 

When Klaus thought about the number of people that wanted to get their hands on him, he shuddered. He might be a friendly person, but that was with people he sees as friends, if he doesn't like any individual, he shows it in his words and actions. And given Klaus' big mouth, he will definitely make the person hate existing with a few sentences.

Grey knew someone who wouldn't mind beating the crap out of Klaus, the young lady he saw when he went over to meet Klaus. She was originally stronger than Klaus, so she was able to put him in his place then, but now, she was weaker and Klaus was taking full advantage of it. 

She has been driven to cultivate harder, just due to the sheer pressure she was getting from Klaus who was making life in the Faction a living hell, well, not that much, but he was doing his best to annoy her any chance he gets. 

Grey took another glance at Klaus and shook his head, "Where are we headed? I don't know too many places here, so there's nothing I can do about suggestions."

"We'll go where the wind takes us, you know we're just exploring, and we only have about two weeks or so to spend here before leaving." Klaus said. 

Grey and the others didn't have any complaints with Klaus' suggestion. 

The group followed Klaus' words and moved in another direction, since they didn't plan on heading back to the Western Continent, they faced another direction, hoping to go to the Northern Continent next. There were a few rumors they had heard about that place and they didn't mind spending a longer time there. 

….

Time went by slowly. 

While the group were exploring the Middle Continent, trouble was brewing in other places. 

The short time that the origin source was enveloped, a few things were put out of place. More secret realms started to appear across the entire Aurora Continent, and most of them were war-torn and chaotic. 

When some people went over to explore these new realms, they were met with shocking scenes. 

Only a few of them seemed to be in a normal state, but these ones were not of any use. For some reason, a few top experts feel like these places only appeared as a means of escaping the Gnomes. 

There was also a top expert who escaped from his imprisonment due to the event. Grey had no idea that the idea that came to him would bring so many unforeseen events. 

….

Dawson Manor. 

Grey's grandfather and a few Elders in the Family were seated. 

"This is getting out of hand, why are they attacking more viciously?" One of the Elders said. 

"Well, they don't seem to have any problems with what happened. That means they are either necromancers, or closely related to the Gnomes." Another man said. 

"That's a bold statement to make. Even if we have problems with them, accusing them of being with the Gnomes is not something we should say so casually." An Elder said. 

Grey's grandfather, as well as Lucas were both listening to the words of the Elders present. 

The present Family Head turned to Lucas, "Brother, what do you have to say about this?" 

A few of them felt the Gnomes would target them sincs Grey was from the Dawson Family. The fact that they placed such importance on his head showed just how angered they were with what he did. 

Lucas turned to his brother, his face expressionless. 

"I have nothing to say about this. A few people have come in hopes of being allies, I see no reason why you've refused all of them." 

"That place belongs to us, only we have the right to enter." The Family Head said with a cold expression. 

"With an ally, we can ease the pressure on us. Don't tell me you aren't aware of this." Lucas looked at his brother. 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm His brother snorted coldly, "You can't possibly say we should listen to the suggestions of a child. We've sacrificed so much to gain complete control of that secret realm, we're not giving it out just like that."

"And you're willing to let more people die due to your pride?" Grey's grandfather spoke up, looking at the duo. 

The Family Head wanted to speak, but seeing the person who spoke up, he shut his mouth. 

"We will follow Grey's suggestion, ally with one or two top forces, that should be enough to force them off our backs." Grey's grandfather said, "We don't have to give them complete access to the secret realm. Being the ones in charge means we have knowledge of when they enter." 

Lucas nodded, in agreement with his father's words. His brother, the current Family Head didn't seem to like the idea of sharing the secret realm. However, with Grey's grandfather bringing up such a suggestion, there was nothing he could do to go against it. 

He snorted coldly, but shut his mouth and listened to the other discussions. The secret realm was not their only problem, no one has been able to locate the top expert from the Gnome race that sneaked into the Continent during the short glitch with the origin source. 

It would've not been too much of a problem, but the seal has weakened, if more top experts were to sneak in, then the Aurora Continent was doomed. Not knowing when the Gnomes would attack is not something they wanted. 

The discussion raged on. 

….

The Dawson Family were not the only ones who were having a conversation about the missing Gnome expert, other top forces were also discussing what measures they would take against them.

The Middle Continent. 

The number one Faction. 

Deep in the Faction, a meeting was taking place. 

"How did he escape?" 

"We have no idea, he just disappeared." 

"That's the first person who defected and joined the Gnomes, how could you be so careless?" 

The voices in the room were filled with anger. 

Inside the room, a middle aged man could be seen, before him was a seal which had chains that were on the ground. Beside him were two men who were both in the Elemental Sovereign Plane. 

They were both in charge of watching the man that was held there, but presently, the man has escaped, and they didn't know how it happened. 

"Send the word out, we need to take him down. A Gnome expert sneaked into the Continent, but we still haven't found him. I feel he has already met with the necromancers group. The person you let escape is more dangerous than the Gnome expert that sneaked in." 

"Spread the word, the entire Middle Continent will go under inspection, he must be found." 

"Send words to the top Families and Factions too, we need all the help we can get." 

The two men nodded and left the place, their faces showed worry. 

The middle-aged man sighed when he looked around, he didn't know what to say anymore. The escape of this person was out of his expectations. He was too bothered with the issue with the origin source and finding the expert that came into the Aurora Continent that he neglected this person in his Faction. 

"Teacher, is there anything I can do to help?" 

A delicate voice came from outside the room, a young lady who looked to be in her early twenties showed up, her blue eyes glowed even in the daytime, and her long curly hair fell to the side, bringing out her beauty. 

The middle-aged man looked at the young lady, "Nothing. You should stay in the Faction for the next few days, it might get chaotic." 

The young lady looked at her Teacher, she nodded, but there was a little hint of rebellion in her eyes. 

The man caught it and couldn't help but shake his head. Although this student of his was amazing, she was too impulsive and on a few occasions, she never listened to his words, especially in situations like this. 

He snapped his hands and a large figure covered the sky, from the shape of it, it was clear to see that it was a Magical Beast. 

The beast flew down from the sky, still covered by clouds. 

"Don't let her out of your sight." The middle-aged man said. 

A soft growl came from the clouds.
