Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 797 This Will Be A Problem

Grey stood alone in the tunnel, below him were the two horned men who had been beaten out cold. Their current appearance was a shadow of their former self. 

"Not bad, but two minds will always be different." He said before grabbing them and just like the first horned man, he kept them in his storage ring. 

What he found interesting was that he naturally couldn't keep living things in his storage ring. Void could, but he couldn't. However, concerning the horned race, there seemed to be different anatomy that made this possible. 

He planned to look deep into this after leaving this realm. This could also be the reason why they were able to merge together and form a stronger individual.

After keeping the duo, he headed deeper into the place. His target was still the same thing, whatever was sending out such powerful fluctuations. 

Void had already alerted him that some experts at the Peak of the Overlord Plane were rushing in his direction. He had tried everything he could to stop them, but they realized it was all a ruse to get their attention. 

Grey didn't feel too bothered by this. Since he was in his Fusion State, he could leave this place in the blink of an eye. 

He soon got to where the aura was coming from, and in front of him was a brown sphere that was pulsating like a human heart. The amount of earth elemental essence it was emitting was frightening. Even someone as calm as Grey couldn't help but salivate at the thought of acquiring it. 

'Jackpot! I've struck gold!' He exclaimed internally before rushing over. 

This wasn't something he should waste his time on. He grabbed it and shoved it in his storage ring, the entirety of it. He didn't even try to be cautious with it. After doing this, he sensed that the gravity in the place dropped significantly. It was almost at the same level as the one above ground. 

'So this is what increased the gravity here.'

He vanished right after. If the experts rushing here manage to meet him here, they wouldn't mind risking their lives just to stop him. Grey on the other hand didn't care if this was all he got, all he knew was that it would be worth it. 

Void was already out by the time he came out, so the duo fled as far as they could for the time being before searching for a place to rest. After resting, they continued their journey. 

pᴀɴdᴀ nᴏveʟ Grey wasn't in a hurry to take out his loot. This was because he felt they were still too close to the underground facility, even though they had gone thousands of kilometers away from it. 

After two days, he finally got to a place he felt was safe enough for him to use the sphere.

Void felt a little tinge of sadness because he also had a treasure he wanted to absorb, but since they couldn't use it for now, he had to wait. 

Grey created some arrays to hide his presence before he started his cultivation. According to his usual absorption speed, this would take him nothing less than a day to completely absorb. 

Void went outside to stand guard while Grey focused fully on cultivating. 

Time went by and the next day came. Void was relaxing when he sensed a strong aura coming from the cave Grey used in cultivating. 

"Must he always cause a fuss when breaking through?" He complained internally, but he felt genuinely happy that Grey's strength had improved. 

The stronger Grey grew, the better for them.

Grey walked out of the cave, radiating a different type of pressure. This was pure gravitational force. He was subconsciously radiating it. 

'He learned something new as well. How am I not surprised." Void shook his head. 

He was already used to Grey's freakishness, so he didn't find it surprising that Grey acquired a new ability this time around. It was something he usually did from time to time. As long as they didn't think about it too much, it wouldn't really be a concern or anything. 

Others wouldn't be this calm about it however since Grey was already too powerful to begin with, if he added new powers to it, then he would be a force to be reckoned with. 

"You finally learned it." Void commented. 

"Oh, this. It's just the beginning." Grey stretched his body, and Void could hear his bones and muscles roaring, as if wanting to come to life. 

"The Dragon blood essence?" He was a little confused. 

"Yap. It triggered when my physical strength improved. I still don't know why, but I can tell that I'm stronger than before." Grey nodded while moving his fingers. 

"Lucky." Void clicked his tongue. This was all he could say about this. 

Grey was extremely lucky for him to be able to actually get the Dragon blood in his body to resonate with him. This would be beneficial to him in the long run. If they were lucky, they might even get to acquire more Dragon blood essence and this would help further increase Grey's strength. 

"This will be a problem." Grey muttered when he sensed his body. 

He had finally left the Seventh stage of the Overlord Plane, entering the Eighth stage. But he noticed since he got to the Late stages of the Overlord Plane that advancing seemed to become harder. The essence required was too large. Even with his multiple elements which had increased his cultivation speed, this was about to become a hindrance to him. 

At this rate, he would grow even slower when compared to before. 

If his friends heard this, they would gang up on him and beat him up. Grey had always been advancing faster than the others. Klaus was the only one who had been able to move at a faster pace, and it was all thanks to his freakish luck of acquiring good things. If Grey felt he was advancing at a snail's speed, then the others aren't even moving in the first place.
