Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1245 My Turn

Chapter 1245 My Turn

Grey and the Old man left the place, heading further into the place. There might still be a few things that might be of value to him here.

….

A few hours later. 

Grey and the Old man were standing in front of a swamp, staring ahead of them. They didn't know what was ahead, but they were certain that the strength of the creatures they would encounter would get to the Late stages of even the Peak of the Seventh Rank. 

Void had finally come out, his expression was still sour. Grey had attempted asking him what happened during the time he was away, but Void flipped out the second he asked and even almost fought with him.

Grey stopped asking when he saw how Void was reacting to the question. The Old man only chuckled whenever he saw Void's expression. He could guess what might've happened, of course, he wasn't too certain, but he felt the probability of it being what he felt was quite high.

"There should be something good here." Grey wasn't in a hurry to enter the place, he turned to Void and asked, "Should we go in or not?" 

"Aren't you the one making the decisions, since when do you care about my input?" Void wasn't pleased in any way. 

"You're the strongest. If there are any battles at the Peak, you're the one who's going to take care of it." Grey tried to sense if there was any danger in the beginning of the swamp. 

"I'm not fighting for you." Void said, still p.i.s.sed. 

"Stop making a fuss. I warned you not to consume it, you were the one who couldn't control your greed." Grey reprimanded, he added, "I'll stop making any meal for you if you continue like this." 

Void wanted to speak up when he heard the first part of Grey's words, but when he heard the last part, he kept shut. He didn't dare to offend him, especially when it came to food.

"Do whatever you want. I'm not fighting any battles I can't win." Void said coldly, he had given up on going against Grey. 

Although he was the strongest, Grey was still the one in charge. 

When the Old man heard Grey say Void was the strongest, he almost lost his cool. At the time Grey was fighting with the s.p.a.ce Elementalist, he didn't see Void, only after the s.p.a.ce Elementalist had been defeated did he show up. 

Now he understood where Grey's confidence came from. Even when fighting against multiple opponents, Grey had a back up that could almost one-shot most of them. With Void attacking unaware, they wouldn't have been able to even set up a defensive wall before dying. 

….

Ten minutes later. 

Boom! 

"F*ck you! Didn't I say I wasn't going to involve myself in any losing battle?" Void complained after blocking an attack. I think you should take a look at

"How am I supposed to know there are three more?" Grey complained. 

Before them were four huge snakes, all at the Peak of the Seventh Rank. 

At the time they saw the first snake, the man told them it had a crystal on its head that was very useful. Albeit it was at the Peak of the Seventh Rank, with Void and himself, Grey was confident that they would be able to defeat the snake. They didn't sense any other snake, and Void willingly joined the battle. Only after the battle started did they realize they've made a ma.s.sive mistake. There wasn't just one snake here, rather, there were four. 

They were already trapped in the middle of the fight, and with the Old man present, it was very difficult to fight against the snakes. The safety of the Old man was of utmost importance to Grey. 

The Old man was literally useless in the battle, infact, he was holding them back in the battle. He could only hide behind them and pray he wasn't caught by any of the snakes. These snakes were too strong for him, a single attack would kill him, and he was well aware of this. 

Grey and Void battled against the snakes, trying to force open an escape route for them. One of the snakes was well versed with the s.p.a.ce element and it had been able to keep them in place, making it impossible for them to escape. 

Grey's skin glowed silver as scales appeared on them. He didn't want to take any chances. The armor was presently with the Old man. Before entering this place, he wanted to leave it with Cori, but after giving it some thoughts, he decided against it. 

One of the snakes swept its tail in their direction. ????????.???

An earth wall rose from the ground, blocking the attack. But the attack was too strong for the wall and it came crumbling down. 

The tail was like a metal sword as the broke through the wall and went for Grey and the Old man. 

"Void!" Grey couldn't help but call out.

Void jumped forward and he increased his size, from a small cat that could fit into the palm of Grey, he became over five meters tall. With a swipe of his claws, he sent the tail which was coming their way back. He felt his body jolt a little due to the fact that the snake's tail was covered in lightning. 

The Old man was amazed by Grey. Most Beasts feel pride in their size, yet Void liked his small size. He soon understood why. 

Grey jumped on top Void's head and Void snapped. 

"Get off!" He yelled angrily. 

"Focus on the battle in front of you. You've been riding me for so long. What's wrong with me returning the favor?" Grey tapped his foot on Void's head, enjoying the moment. 

"F*ck off!" Void cursed, "I'm not those little beasts you ride." 

Grey naturally wouldn't bother with Void's yelling. After waiting for so long to ride Void, there was no way he would get off. 

Void was p.i.s.sed, and he turned his anger to the snakes.
