Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1282  An Exhilarating Feeling!

It took the duo a minute or so, but they defeated the Magical Beasts they were fighting with ease, killing all three of them.

The young lady, and the young man called Matt looked at the duo in shock. Reynolds was in the Fifth stage, just like the young lady, but he possessed more power. Alice was a stage lower than the young lady, but she was also stronger than she was. One has to know that she was someone regarded as a top genius in the Faction she came from, but in front of the duo, she didnʼt stand a chance.

She stood in the same spot, staring at the duo, she then turned to look at the two who were standing carefreely mid-air. All she knew was that they came with the duo who helped her out, but she didnʼt know too much about them.

After calming down, she looked at Matt inquisitively.

”Thatʼs Grey, remember him?” Matt didnʼt need to explain much, Greyʼs name was very popular amongst those who had been in the secret realm for a long time.

”The one that caused havoc in the lower realm?” The young lady asked.

”The one and only.” Matt gave a wry smile.

The young lady looked at Grey, who had Void sitting on his shoulder. He looked so detached from the scene, nor did he look like someone who would do something he was being lauded for.

Everyone in the higher realm of the secret realm heard of Greyʼs deeds, after all, the entire Elemental Venerables on the side of the Gnomes were forced to make a meeting, not just that, but they also sent people down to hunt down this person. However, this person escaped from their hands on two occasions.

She never thought she would see that famous figure so soon, neither did she expect that he would already be so strong.

Grey always has his cultivation stage hidden whenever heʼs in a place like this, but it was easy to guess that he was stronger than the other two who fought the beasts.

She was already a Venerable while Grey was still in the Sage Plane. At the moment, just like Sylvia and the others from the Burchard Family, she didnʼt know what to feel, but the feeling of inferiority was very clear. Grey was just too much of a monster, making others feel useless.

Alice and Reynolds returned.

”Took you guys long enough, I thought you wouldnʼt be able to finish them off.” Klaus mocked.

”We donʼt have to go all out for these beasts. If they were a bit stronger, then we wouldnʼt mind.” Reynolds said coolly.

When the young lady and Matt heard their words, they almost fainted. They just realized the reason Alice and Reynolds took a minute to kill these beasts was because they didnʼt want to go all-out.

They didnʼt know how to feel while listening and looking at the group.

”Come on, letʼs head deeper. Weʼll encounter better targets there. I also have to visit the Prince of the Gnomes, I feel. He has missed me a lot.” Grey chuckled.

”Alright, letʼs go meet your date.” Klaus mocked.

Grey rolled his eyes, he turned to Matt and the others, ”You guys will be free for the next week or so. Do whatever you want.”

After finishing his statement, Grey left, not waiting for a response from them.

Matt and the young lady exchanged glances. Matt, being a little familiar with Grey, understood the meaning behind his words.

”Weʼre not leaving. This is our chance. Letʼs go back to take that treasure we couldnʼt.” He said to the others.

”What does he mean by ʼwe will be free for a week?ʼ” The young lady asked.

”Heʼs going to meet up with the Prince of the Gnomes, the one he almost killed while we were in the lower realm. According to what I know, they would focus all their attention on him while heʼs here. The same thing happened the last time.” Matt explained.

”Wait, heʼs just going to barge into their hideout?” The young lady asked.

”Actually, the last time, he killed a few of them when he went to visit the Prince, making the Prince mad with fury. This time, I think thereʼs another Prince here, the older brother of that Prince. I donʼt know what heʼs going to do, but I know weʼre free and safe. Even the Giant race doesnʼt want to mess with him.” Matt explained.

He looked at the group and his eyes shone, ”Weʼre so lucky to encounter him. With him here, weʼre not only safe, but the benefits we can get are unimaginable!”

The young lady looked at Matt, not sure why he had such faith in Grey, after all, he was just one man. Well, thinking of the people around him, she still didnʼt think they would be enough to rival the entire Gnomes in this place.

”Alright, letʼs stay for a while. We will monitor whatʼs happening on his end, if itʼs safe, we can go get the treasure we wanted.” The young lady was the strongest, so she had the final say in the group.

Matt didnʼt have any problems with her decision, he was very confident that Grey would be able to draw all the attention to himself, giving them the chance they needed to acquire treasures and grow stronger.

….

Grey and his group didnʼt go far, they stopped after only a few kilometers. The reason for that was because Grey sensed a familiar aura.

”Hehe, Gnomes are around the corner. We should be able to have some fun before we head to their hideout.” He laughed softly.

”Oh, I forgot you can sense these guys.” Alice said.

”Alright, bring them out. I wanna beat those guys.” Klaus was raring to go.

”No rush, theyʼre coming to us now.” Grey smiled, his eyes closing slightly.

He was feeling a bit exhilarated. He had missed this feeling, a lot.
