Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 785 - A Tourist

Grey listened carefully to the manʼs words before deciding on what to do.

”What are you going to do now?” Void asked.

”Well, training is the best thing to do. If I can, I will save some people, but Iʼm not too interested in doing that.” Grey replied, not hiding his intentions, even from the horned man.

”Wait, why?” Void was a little confused, he knew Grey wasnʼt a saint who would go around saving people, but he felt since he was here, he would at least try to.

”Have you seen what humans do to each other because of greed? This is nothing compared to it. The only thing that would make humans annoyed is the fact that another race is the one oppressing them, other than that, this is pretty normal.” Grey explained.

This was something everyone knew, humans were not kind to each other. Even brothers tend to harm themselves because of personal gains, so itʼs no surprise other races are doing this to humans. Grey was also sure that these horned people also do the same. Greed is something common in every race, they all want to grow stronger.

From the words of the horned man, he could tell that he was annoyed that those with weaker cultivation Planes were sent there. This was also a sign of greed. If the horned man was powerful, he wouldnʼt mind forcefully taking the powerful humans brought to their realm.

The horned man looked at Grey, a little stunned by his plainness. Most people would pretend that they wanted to save every member of their race, but Grey wanted to focus on his training while he was here. He was unique, which made the horned man view him in a new light.

However, he still knew that his chances of escaping from Greyʼs hands were minimal.

Grey waved his hand and one of the horned men he captured appeared in front of him. This was a horned man in the Overlord Plane, his rank was definitely above that of this man.

When the chubby horned man saw the man Grey brought out, he hastily dropped to his knees and placed his head on the ground, even though the man was still unconscious.

”Oh, looks like they take hierarchy here very seriously.” Grey muttered as he splashed water in the face of the horned man.

When he woke up, he was stunned. He never thought that he would be able to come back to his home, but here he is. He almost felt like being captured by Grey was all a dream, but when he saw the evil face of Void, he threw that thought to the back of his head.

His eyes darted to the chubby man kneeling on the ground.

”You may rise.” He said in a commanding tone.

”I dare not, my Lord.” The chubby man shivered.

”Hmph! This is not the time to take these things to the extreme.” The man snorted coldly before using his legs to raise the head of the chubby man.

Grey watched everything from the side.

”Alright, since you two are done, I need someone to point me in the direction of the capital.” Grey said coolly.

”What do you plan to do?” The man he just brought out asked.

”Nothing, Iʼm just here for a tour.” Grey answered.

The man looked at Grey. He was the one who had been tortured by Grey. Although he didnʼt say anything, Grey still managed to find his way to this place. He was certain that the last surviving man with him was the one who gave out their location.

The man sighed helplessly before looking at the chubby man to ask for their current location. The chubby man told him where they were located, and after making a rough calculation, he pointed Grey in the direction of the capital. According to him, it would take Grey at least five days to get there.

Grey nodded before looking at the chubby man, ”What do I do with you now?”

”My… my… Lord… ple… please spare me. I… I wonʼt…” The chubby man was still in the middle of speaking when he froze as he felt a stinging pain in his chest.

He looked down, only to find a hand piercing through his chest. It was none other than the hand of the horned man Grey just brought out.

”Youʼre of no use alive.” The man stated coldly before ripping out his heart.

ʼYou see, for personal gains, he didnʼt mind killing someone from his race.ʼ Grey said to Void telepathically.

He knew the reason the horned man did this, he wanted to gain a bit of Greyʼs trust. One thing he knew was that leaving this man alive was not really a threat. The people of this realm would definitely know that humans had managed to enter their world in no time, so even if this chubby man gave him away, it still wasnʼt all that of a big deal.

Grey looked at the horned man for a while, contemplating what to do. He didnʼt want to kill him now, since the man still had some uses. First of all, there were bound to be abundant earth elemental treasures here. And being someone with such a high rank, the horned man would know the best locations for it.

This was his main objective in coming to this place, saving the humans captured was more like a side quest that he could choose not to do. If he crosses paths with them, he wouldnʼt mind helping them, but for now, he was going to check out the capital first.

He was one person, he couldnʼt fight against an entire world. The number of Peak Overlord Plane horned men was not something he can take on alone. The fact that they could send so many Late stage Overlord Plane horned men out proved that.

Also, if he were to be trapped in that formation once again, while in this realm, he was almost certain that his Fusion State would be his only way out, and he wasnʼt even confident about that.
