Affinity: Chaos Chapter 161: Shiny Blade

Chapter 161: s.h.i.+ny Blade

Grey and Void continued looking through the place, with Void being the one on the lookout. Although they hadn’t come across any creature yet, it didn’t hurt to keep a lookout though.

When Grey finished studying the lab, he carefully headed to the first door on the left.

Creak!

He went in and created a fireball that lit up the room, the room was about fifty square meters, and other than beds that had leather straps on them, there was nothing else. The beds were ten in total.

‘What are these things used for?’ Void asked.

“I think for restraining animals, or people.” Grey speculated.

He hadn’t seen these sorts of beds before, but since this was a lab, and from how strong the leather felt, he guessed maybe that was its use.

“There’s nothing here.” Grey said before walking out of the room.

The moment he left the room, the fire extinguished. The flame in the lab was still burning brightly because he didn’t put it out when he was going into the room.

Opening the other door on the left, he saw the same things without seeing any supposed treasure.

‘There are still two doors left.’ He comforted himself.

He quickly got to the right side of the lab, after opening the door, he created another fire. The moment the fire lit the room up, Grey was happy not to see the same sight of beds.

This time, what he saw were clothes, and pieces of equipment used in the lab. There was also what looked like a snake kept in a six meters long gla.s.s tube, but the tube had a crack on it and what was left of the snake were its bones.

The gla.s.s tube containing the snake wasn’t the only one he found, he also found one that had a strange species of lizard that he had not seen before, but just like the one of the snake, the gla.s.s was broken but unlike the snake, the scales of this lizard was still intact.

“Hmm, what a strange lizard.” Grey voiced his surprise and went closer to the gla.s.s tube.

Getting closer, he started examining the lizard properly. The lizard had three eye sockets, although, its eyes seem to have been removed, it had one horn just above the third eye in the middle, it had razor-sharp claws on the end of its three toes on both its forelimbs and hind limb and lastly, it had two tails.

Grey’s curiosity kicked in, and he kept the entire gla.s.s tube in his storage ring the next second. He had never seen this beast before, and he would like to study it more.

After keeping it, he saw other gla.s.s tubes, but none of them had their scales intact like that weird lizard he kept.

‘There’s nothing here as well, that leaves the last room.’ He said before walking out of the room.

Going back to the lab, he didn’t look around and just walked straight to the last door. He had unknowingly spent over one hour here, most of the time was spent on checking out the books, after that, the room he just left took up the other time.

He opened the door, and just like before, he created a fireball to light up the room. When the fire lit up, Grey got a good view of the room.

“Haha, success.” He laughed happily.

Ahead of him, were multiple weapon racks, but only the one at the middle caught his attention, it had a single short curved blade. Even from where he was standing, Grey could fill the energy it contained.

The next moment, Void who was previously sitting on Grey’s shoulder jumped down quickly and dashed towards the blade.

Before Grey could react, Void had already gotten to the weapon rack.

“Void, what are you doing?” Grey asked slowly approaching Void.

Void was currently looking at the blade with glistening eyes.

‘So…s.h.i.+ny.’

This was the only statement Grey heard.

“s.h.i.+t! Void don’t you dare.” Grey immediately cursed out.

The moment he saw Void’s reaction, he already knew what was going on, Void wanted the blade, not for any other reason other than it being s.h.i.+ny.

Void threw a glance at Grey stretched out his little hands, and grabbed the blade. The blade was about twenty inches long, including the hilt.

Grey looked at Void and was left speechless. One has to remember that Void was only seven inches long when he came out of the egg, even after staying for over two months, he had only added three inches.

Void stood on his hind legs and started running with the sword that was two times his length, hugging it tightly.

Grey chuckled when he saw this scene because he found it quite comical, he still couldn’t help but feel Void’s love for s.h.i.+ny things was too much.

“Void drop that blade, it’s mine.” Grey immediately chased after the little guy.

After chuckling, he quickly chased after Void who for some weird reason hadn’t kept it in his storage s.p.a.ce yet. But Grey felt grateful he hadn’t, because if he had, then getting it back would be almost impossible.

‘No.’ Void answered while running on his two short legs.

“Give it to me!” Grey ordered.

‘No, it’s s.h.i.+ny, I want it.’ Void said.

“d.a.m.n it! You can’t have every s.h.i.+ny thing.” Grey complained while giving chase.

While chasing Void, they scattered the entire place, but Grey still wasn’t able to catch Void.

“How is he so fast with those short legs of his?” Grey was left dumbstruck by Void’s speed.

This was the first he saw Void’ running instead of using the s.p.a.ce element, he found it quite bizarre given Void’s usual ways.

Void ran out of the room and entered the lab, trying to look for a way to escape.

‘d.a.m.n, why isn’t it working?’ He complained inside.

Just when he wanted to collect the blade, he noticed he couldn’t use the s.p.a.ce element for some strange reason, but being occupied with the thought of the blade, he decided to get the blade first before telling Grey about it.

Grey soon exited the room chasing after Void.
