Affinity: Chaos Chapter 867 A Deal

Chapter 867 A Deal

The old man and the man previously fighting against Void were engulfed by the icy inferno.

Grey contracted the size of the domain to make it more powerful. He wanted to use it to its full potential.

The men quickly started to feel the cold from the icy flames, and the lightning arcs flas.h.i.+ng through the inferno made life a living h.e.l.l for them.

The old man tried to block the attacks, but he found it almost impossible to do so. With the help of the other man, they managed to fend it off.

Grey had not attacked yet, rather, he was staring at the duo struggling against the domain. If only the domain was this troublesome to deal with, then they couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver at the thought of Grey joining in on the battle.

An orb appeared on Grey's hand and he released it into the inferno. It exploded and caused a large explosion.

The old man used his s.p.a.ce element to try to escape from the inferno, but there was no way Grey was going to allow that. Presently, he had a higher cultivation stage than the old man, this gave him the advantage when it came to using his elemental powers.

The spatial tunnel the man opened was forcefully closed by Grey and the man was sent flying by the impact of Grey's attack. The attack was something that they couldn't defend against, its power was above their level.

Grey didn't give them the chance they wanted to regain their bearings, he instantly attacked once again. He used the domain to hold back the other man while focusing on the old man.

Symbols lit up beside the inferno and the man who was trying to escape from the inferno was forced back by the powerful attacks that came out from the inscriptions.

The old man was getting beat up by Grey's immense strength.

Whenever he tried to use the s.p.a.ce element to escape, Grey would always use his superior strength to break the tunnel, making sure it was impossible for the man to escape.

Grey was single-handedly beating two Sage Plane Elementalists. Both of them were in the Late stages, which showed how strong he was.

Void didn't bother with the fight any longer and just watched from the side. He almost wanted to beat Grey up for making him fight against the man when he had the strength to suppress him by this much.

A minute later, Grey sent the old man cras.h.i.+ng to the ground, outside the city.

He appeared close to the man and released his gravitational force field. The old man tried to stand up but he was forced to the ground by the sheer strength of the gravitational force field.

Grey's figure blinked, and when he appeared again, he had the other man in his hands. He dropped him close to the old man.

"Normally, I'd kill you, but I see no use in doing that. Not all humans are what you think they are." He said with a calm voice.

He was not a righteous person, but he wasn't as brutal as those from the Syphilis Faction. Honestly, he had no reason to kill these men, so he decided against it.

If they attacked them without reason and might be a danger to him later on, then he would've killed them, but presently, there was no use in doing that. He faced no danger here with his current strength.

Both men exchanged glances before looking at Grey, they both clenched their fists angrily.

"How about this…" Grey thought of the idea of striking a deal with them.

It would be good if they could get people in this realm, but if not, it was also okay.

Grey spoke with them and after some time, they came to an agreement. They didn't accept Grey's deal since it was of no significant benefit to them, but they would speak with the others about it. Also, if Grey could give them something that could help them, then they didn't mind working something out with them.

Grey accepted since it wasn't a bad idea. He would speak with the Elder at the portal, and after hearing what they have to say, he would give them feedback.

He let them go but gave them something to track them with when he's coming back.

Void appeared beside him with a nonchalant look, "You let them go?"

"There are things here that are useless to them but very useful to us. It's best if we can change these things with them." Grey told Void his plan.

"Oh, I never thought you were this thoughtful." Void commented.

Grey tried to smack Void on his back but he changed it with a simple blink. Since Grey had exited the Fusion State, he was no match for Void.

"Crazy…" He muttered before heading in the direction of the cave where the two-headed snake was resting.

When they got there, the group he saved was all there, waiting for him.

"I see you're all okay." He commented when he appeared.

"Senior Grey!" Someone from the crowds shouted.

"Huh?" Grey raised a brow, surprised by the way he was addressed.

He was currently back to his original skin, and he even wore his uniform, so it was natural that he was recognized. What he didn't expect was being addressed in such a manner.

The others gasped in shock when they heard how the young man addressed Grey. They had all heard of Grey's famous name, but he was very reserved. After the celebratory ceremony, they hadn't seen or even heard from him again. One of the things that made others recognize him easily was his handsome face. In the entire Faction, there was no one who could match Grey in terms of handsomeness, so seeing such a handsome guy, they linked it to him.

Keith walked over to Grey.

"Thank goodness you came early, they would've killed us before you arrived." He shook his head with a sigh.

He hated the fact that he had to depend on Grey to get over this, but he knew his chances of escaping from a Late stage Sage Plane expert were very slim. In fact, it was zero.

"It's a good thing you're alright." Grey said to Keith.

He looked at the others before asking if they were the ones attacking the caravans of those from the Lutra race.

Only two groups agreed to this. Grey warned them against the idea of robbing them since he was trying to strike a deal with them. When they heard this, they were all stunned by the idea.

"Senior Grey…" A young lady walked up to Grey with a somewhat shy expression.

"Yes?" Grey turned to look at her.

"How did you learn to speak their language, and also, change your skin color." The young lady asked.

"Oh that, it's not really hard, for me. You guys, almost impossible." Grey was blunt with his words.

He changed his skin color when speaking so they would know what he was talking about.

"As for the language, it will take you all some time, but you can learn it." He added.

The group was not too surprised by this. Changing their color was something they didn't even think of, yet Grey managed to not only do it, but he was very good at it.

He spiked with them a little longer before giving them the healing tonic he had with him. Given his reputation in the Faction currently, he was a figure most people looked up to.

After they left, only Keith and the two-headed snake were left in the cave with Grey and Void.

"What now?" Keith asked him.

"I'm leaving, there's nothing left for me to do here." Grey said to Keith.

"Oh, I'll stay a little longer. I want to grow stronger." Keith said with determination.

"Alright." Grey replied, after speaking with Keith a little longer, his figure blurred and he disappeared, leaving Keith alone with the snake.

Both parties exchanged glances before resting.

Aurora Continent.

Outside the Lutra Portal.

The portal vibrated and a figure stepped out of it. It was none other than Grey who had Void on his shoulder.

When he came out, he turned to look at the Elder who was alone. He looked around suspiciously. At the time he was coming out, he was almost certain that there was someone with the Elder, however, the Elder was all alone now.

"You're out, I see you made some improvements." The Elder commented.

"Yes, Elder." Grey bowed to greet the Elder.

When he was done with pleasantries, he immediately told the Elder of his deal with the people from the Lutra race.

"Are you sure about this?" The Elder asked. This was not a simple matter and it would be very beneficial to the Faction if it was true.

"Yes, Elder." Grey nodded.

"Come, we're going to meet the Faction Leader." The Elder tapped Grey's shoulder and they vanished.
