Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 688 - Strange Methods

Grey's group advanced quickly. The synergy between the group was breathtaking, making them defeat the monsters before them quicker than most.

According to what they've noticed, it takes around ten seconds or so before another monster would form. Grey had tried sensing if this was the work of an array, and to his surprise, he got nothing. This meant that either it was natural, or whoever made it was on a level he didn't dare to imagine.

They soon got to a flight of stairs, ascending it as they got there. When they got to the top, there were three paths, and on each path, there were multiple rooms. It was up to them to choose a path.

"Klaus."

The group turned to Klaus, and he had a lost look on his face.

"I've told you guys that it doesn't work that way." He complained when he saw their gazes, it was almost pressurizing on him.

"Well, it has worked so far." Grey encouraged.

"I was only lucky." Klaus shook his head wryly.

"That luck is what we want, to be precise." Alice joined in.

Reynolds also joined in after a few seconds, and Klaus could only close his eyes and make an ice sword. The sword floated in front of him with the tip pointing straight.

He made it move quickly, and the tip was facing from one path to another. While he was doing this, another set of monsters appeared and the group was forced to fight against them.

Grey brought out his inscriptions, using only the lightning and fire element like before. They soon took out their opponents once again.

By the time they were done, the sword had already stopped moving, and it was facing the path on the right.

"Well, this was the only thing I could think of. If I'm really that 'lucky', then we shouldn't have any problems with finding treasures here, well, good treasures." Klaus said with a shrug of his shoulder.

Grey and the others didn't even discuss it with him, they immediately took the path the sword pointed to, and Kyle seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.

'Anyone could do this!' He yelled in his heart, but he could only follow them.

He had already asked to travel with them here, so he had no choice.

As they moved, they soon got to the first door in the hallway, but they were forced to fight against the monsters before going in.

After defeating the monsters, they opened the door and entered.

Entering the door, they were covered by a bright light, and when they opened their eyes, they were transported to another place.

"Strange, the darkness element here is very thin. In fact, it's almost nonexistent." Void commented when they appeared on the place.

Looking around, they seemed to have been transported to an underground cave. They could hear rushing water from the side of the wall.

"Could we be underwater?" Klaus couldn't help but ask.

"We are underwater. But it's best if we don't spread out our spiritual senses." Grey advised.

"Why?" Reynolds asked.

Roar!

A loud roar came from behind them, followed by heavy footsteps.

"That's why." Grey replied before running in the other direction.

The aura he could sense from whatever the creature is was at the very peak of Rank Five. Its aura was stronger than that of Void's, which meant that it was very close to breaking through to Rank Six. There might even be a chance that its current battle power was around Early Rank Six.

This wasn't something they could take on, yet. It was best they left it behind and ran away.

Luckily for the group, the phantoms they had been fighting against didn't appear here, so they could travel quickly.

The sound of the beast chasing after them was slowly getting louder, and they knew at this rate, it would catch up to them.

They ran for almost a minute before encountering an intersection.

"I can sense it, it's on the left one." Void said excitedly before rushing towards the left path.

Kyle was once again dumbstruck. First of all, Void was unable to sense anything, but after following Klaus' lucky guess, they managed to not only pick the right path, but the first room they opened led them straight to where they wanted.

'They can't be regarded as normal any longer.' He concluded in his mind before rushing after the group.

Whenever they made a decision like this, he was always the last one to move because he found their method strange and unbelievable. In fact, it was also insane.

The group rushed into the left path, and as they continued deeper, the atmosphere started to emit extreme cold. Even for Elementalists of their level, they felt chills.

Klaus and Grey were the only ones who didn't seem to have any reactions to this. Klaus in particular had a delighted expression.

Alice and Kyle used the fire element to warm themselves while Reynolds was shaking from the cold, which prompted laughter from Klaus.

Reynolds almost wanted to fight with him, but he was unable to. He however had no problems with summoning his Elemental Warrior which sent Klaus flying.

Klaus didn't see it coming, so he was taken by surprise.

Grey and the others burst out laughing when they saw this.

Kyle for one was having a good time. Being with the group was fun and odd. They all behaved like psychopaths, well, Klaus seems to be one. Grey and Void were mysterious, Alice seemed ordinary, but he knew not to look down on her, after all, being with such people meant she had something special about her as well. He had also seen her ferocity when fighting, which was something even most men didn't have.

Klaus picked himself up and glared at Reynolds, he almost wanted to attack, but seeing the Elemental Warrior floating beside him, he stopped himself.

Reynolds snorted when he saw this, annoying Klaus in the process.

The group was forced to hurry up when they heard the fast-approaching footsteps of the beast chasing after them.
