Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1089 A Setback?

Chapter 1089 A Setback?

Grey and Void were carefully exploring the place. They couldn't be bothered with the people who had entered the place. Grey knew for a fact that some necromancers would've sneaked in and would most likely want to kill him. Since the people would only have the strength of, at most, a Sixth stage Elemental Venerable, he was confident in being able to escape.

'Oh, I haven't even tried using the Fusion State since breaking through.' He thought to himself.

Since breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, he hadn't fought against someone with far superior strength, so he didn't even bother to test it out. He couldn't help but lick his lips in delight. With the Fusion State, if it followed the previous rule, then he would be able to increase his strength to the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. With such a strength here, he would be unrivaled.

"Hehe, we can go on a rampage." He muttered.

He didn't need to fear anyone. If anyone messed with him, he would beat the h.e.l.l out of the person, if he was annoyed, he might even kill them.

"Uh?" Confusion appeared on Grey's face as he looked around.

'What's going on?' He was stunned.

He tried to see if he could use the Fusion State, he only wanted to increase it by a few stages, but he realized something strange, his essence was in the Chaos s.p.a.ce, and he couldn't access it. Yes, he could use it to fight, but noticed that he couldn't merge it.

If he couldn't merge it, that means that there was no way for him to use the Fusion State. Without the Fusion State, he didn't have any confidence in being able to fight against those above the Third stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

'This shouldn't be happening, right?'

He was frightened. Over the past years, he had relied heavily on the Fusion State in most of his battles. Without it, then he would've died a long time ago. Now, his greatest a.s.set seemed to have vanished.

What was worse was that it was due to his breakthrough. Breaking through caused the change, and now with the change, he had no way to fuse his essence. Without being able to fuse them, he would just be a regular genius.

"F*ck!" Grey suddenly cursed out loud in frustration, he almost had the thought of just going out of this place.

The reason he was confident and told the others to leave was because he was relying on the increase of his strength after using the Fusion State. He didn't want too many people to see it. He was still in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, if his stage suddenly shot to the Ninth stage, it would alarm the others. Now, he didn't have that, and he was all alone. Well, Void was still with him, so that's a good thing.

'I should've gone with Ellis.' He sighed, but he quickly came back to his senses.

For some time now, he had also felt it, he had been relying too much on the Fusion State that he rarely does any good training. With the Fusion State, he could get treasures and advance faster.

To be honest, he knew that he had advanced too quickly which was generally not a good thing. Klaus and the others already had three years to learn all the basics, but he was different. He was three years behind them, so during his time in the Lunar Academy, he focused mainly on increasing his strength. Although he went for cla.s.ses, he didn't take in too much knowledge.

While Grey was showing frustration, Void was staring at him, a little shocked. Grey had always been calm and collected, seeing him curse out all of a sudden was strange.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I'm just annoyed." Grey answered before looking at his front.

He would use this opportunity to get well accustomed with his realm. The Fusion State had always been making him fight against people stronger than himself. Most of the times he engaged in life and death battles, it was always with people who were at least three stages above him. Now, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing since he didn't know if he would be able to survive it.

"Let's get going. This trip might not be as smooth as I thought." Grey said.

Luckily, he gained some new abilities, if not, he wouldn't know what to do. It can be said that the item Ellis' father brought over could not have come at any time better than the time he brought it. At least he had a stronger physical body now compared to others, once he used the Dragon scales, as well as his other defensive abilities, he was certain that he would be able to survive even an all-out attack from someone in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

'So this is how it feels to be normal?'

If others knew of his thoughts, they would beat him up. How could a normal person have eight elements, three domains already awakened while still in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, can use spiritual sense attacks, and also has two special elements. Not just that, but Grey had a variety of items that could help him if he were in danger.

It's safe to say that even some Elemental Sovereigns are not as well equipped as Grey is. This was even removing the fact that Grey was an Inscriber and had shocking physical prowess. In a life and death battle, it's not generally the strongest that wins. If the difference in strength isn't much, a person with too many hidden cards can kill someone that is even three stages above them.

....

Grey traveled the ruin like a depressed figure, he didn't open his face since he didn't want to bring any troubles to himself. He also told Void to walk on his own, too many people knew that he always had a cat that was sitting on his shoulder. So even with his face covered, as long as Void was with him, people would know it's him.

'Grey, there's something ahead. People seem to be fighting for something.' Void's voice rang in Grey's head.

'Their strength?' He asked.

'Early stage Elemental Venerables.' Void replied.

'I'm on my way.' Grey rushed toward the place.

If there was anything good there, he would take it. It didn't matter if it was useful to him or not. This place is a treasure trove, there might be some good things that he could obtain here.

Some time later, Grey appeared at where the people were gathered.

Looking at the item they were fighting over, he couldn't help but look at them sheepishly.

"A robe?" He was a little taken aback.

Why would people be fighting over a robe?

He was still wondering when he witnessed an interesting scene, while the people were fighting, just as someone was about to s.n.a.t.c.h the robe, it flew away on its own, dodging the lunge of the person.

'Clothes could do that?' He was stunned.

How could a robe move on its own, it didn't make sense.

'Good stuff, good stuff.' He thought internally.

No matter what, he was going to get this robe. It wasn't a simple item. If he could have it, he would study it properly.

'Does it have a consciousness or what?' He thought.

There were a lot of magical things in the world, so there might be a chance that this item had developed consciousness. Of course, the possibility of that happening was very low, but it was not impossible. This was a place that was said to house a True G.o.d!

Grey didn't rush over as he watched them, he wanted to be the fisherman. While these people fought, he would be the one to benefit from it. He concealed his aura and hid by the side.

Void did the same as they watched the battle go on.

While they were still fighting, Grey frowned and looked to the right. A figure was rus.h.i.+ng in that direction. When he sensed the aura of that person, his facial expression changed slightly. The new arrival was in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

'It'll be difficult to get this item. But with me and Void, we should be able to get it.' He watched the battle become fiercer.

When this person came over, he originally wanted to use his superior strength to overwhelm the others, but he received a backlash as everyone grouped up and fought against him.

He was soon injured, sensing how things were going, he couldn't care less, after exploding with a powerful attack, he grabbed at the robe. A large essence hand appeared, covering the robe.

The robe wanted to escape but it couldn't move from the spot. The s.p.a.ce was confined

The young man in the Fourth stage smiled and beckoned. The robe flew in his direction, just as he was about to hold it, a fissure appeared and a hand came out, grabbed the robe and vanished.

Everything happened so fast that no one reacted on time.

Even Grey who was about to make a move was stunned.

'F*ck!'
