Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1185 A Little Genius?

Chapter 1185 A Little Genius?

Grey looked at the Elemental Warrior with a serious expression. It was in the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, Void and Jonas wouldn't have any problems with dealing with it. 

The duo soon started to overpower it, while Grey focused on the array. When the Elemental Warrior was about to be defeated, it created an arrow that it shot at Grey. 

Just as the arrow was about to hit Grey, it pa.s.sed through a small spatial tunnel that appeared in front of Grey. The arrow came out from another spatial tunnel behind the Elemental Warrior and struck it in the head. This was the final attack that knocked it down. 

"Attack that spot now." Grey urged them when he saw them standing. 

He was slowly losing his ability to keep the array stable, in a matter of time it would fall apart and all their efforts would be a waste of time. 

Jonas and Void hurriedly attacked the spot and the array showed cracks, with a few more attacks they were able to break it down. 

When the array broke apart, a door appeared, leading to the next side. This time, they could see that they were back in the cave. 

Grey heaved a long sigh after finally being freed from his previous state. Keeping the array stable was by no means an easy feat, if not for his tenacity, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for too long. One has to know that he had been trying to break it for a long time now and had used a lot of spiritual energy. 

He decided to take a break, after twenty minutes they went on to the next place. 

"Please don't tell me there are still challenges." Void complained. 

When they walked past the door, they were met with a large area, there were some herbs planted on one side while on another part, there was a single helmet. 

Grey glanced through the herbs planted and saw not just the flower his father told him to get, but even the one he got as a reward from the arena. He couldn't help but feel a bit depressed, if he had known this would be here, he would've taken something else from the arena. 

There were quite a few items he wanted, but he gave up on them. 

"We should take them and leave." Void bolted straight for the helmet. 

"Stop there." Grey grabbed his tail, before taking a peek at Jonas. 

"You don't want it?" He asked. 

Jonas chuckled softly, "I do, but since you did most of the work, I can't possibly try to take it without your permission."

"I have no use for it." Grey didn't want the helmet. He already had a top-tier defensive treasure, if he were to add another one, the expenses would be too much. Just using the armor was already taking too much, he didn't know the consumption of this helmet, if it's on par with the armor, even with his large reserve, maintaining them would be too hard. 

Jonas thanked him and headed straight for it. 

Void was struggling to leave, but Grey refused to let go of him. Unlike Void, the bunny leader didn't have an obsession for s.h.i.+ny things, so there was nothing it wanted to do with the helmet, its eyes were glued to the little garden there. 

After Jonas took the helmet, the group went over to the garden and started taking most of the plants they wanted there. Well, even the ones they didn't want, they took them as well. The bunny leader was very familiar with them and what they were used for. 

They soon left the place. 

….

"I guess I'll be leaving now." Jonas said as he looked at Grey. 

"Yeah. It was nice seeing you again." Grey replied. 

He wasn't too close with Jonas, even after this trip and the few encounters they have had in the past, they were nothing more than acquaintances. 

Jonas nodded, "Likewise. I believe we'll see each other again in the Aurora Continent." 

Jonas left after that statement, there was no need to stay any further. 

Grey watched his figure disappear into the trees. 

"What now?" Void asked. I think you should take a look at

They have completed their original objective here, and Grey still had about eight to nine more months to stay here. 

"Let's explore. Maybe there will be something good for us." Grey said while opening his palm, a golden light flashed around it. 

He was already able to absorb the chaos energy in this place and use the golden energy. Unlike the natives of this place, Grey was a little different. After taking the fruit, he developed another core inside his body, an energy core. 

This was a strange thing. Luckily, he wouldn't get hurt from it. 

Apparently, when he spoke with the bunny leader who had more knowledge of this place, it was unable to understand how he was able to create a separate core for the golden energy. 

Grey didn't dwell on the matter for too long, since it wasn't causing him any harm, he was okay with using it. 

He decided to go into seclusion for a month and fully understand the concept behind the array they tried to get past during the trip. He was quite intrigued by it, and rightfully so. 

….

Two months went by in a flash. 

Grey had already gotten some things from the array and he even tried to see if he could implement it in his inscriptions. He rarely used it lately since most of the time he is fighting against single opponents. But if he could make his inscriptions stronger, he would use it more frequently again.

Now it would take longer before his inscription can be destroyed and even if it is successfully destroyed, there is a retaliation set up inside that would attack the person that destroys it. 

Not just that, but he was also studying the golden energy, he found out that it had the ability to suppress normal elemental essence. 

If he were to fight against an Elementalist and use the golden energy, he would be able to suppress the Elementalists' attack with just the golden energy. 

This was a great addition to his abilities and he would be able to catch people unaware with this. No one would expect him to use a new type of energy while fighting, and with that, he could change the momentum of a battle. 

He had been here for almost five months now and he had gained the most important things. The reason he was sent here was to increase his strength, and he had done that. Compared to most people, he didn't focus on increasing his cultivation stage if he wanted to increase his strength, he was more concerned about his raw power. 

At the moment, against anyone in the same stage, he could almost one-shot them without them being able to even block it. This was just how powerful he is. 

With all the things he had, he could fight against people three or even four stages above him with confidence. Other than those at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Planes now, he is barely afraid of others. It's not that he could defeat those in the Eighth or Ninth stage, but he was confident that he could escape. 

….

Grey was traveling through a town when he saw people gathered, staring at a figure that was hung on a wood. 

He walked over curiously and got to find out that the person was caught stealing and then killed. 

'A bit extreme.' He thought internally but didn't say anything. If he was killed and hanged, there was a high chance that what he wanted to steal might be very valuable, or who he wanted to steal from was very powerful. 

Grey sensed a powerful killing intent in the crowd, even when it's not directed at him, he was still able to sense it. 

Most of the people present were in the Overlord Plane, so it was very easy for Grey to sense these things. 

The person the killing intent was coming from was a little girl who was staring at the figure hung up with anger in her eyes. 

From the looks of it, there's a chance she was familiar with the person, the thing that caught Grey's attention was just the killing intent, but the cultivation stage of the little girl. 

She was already at the Peak of the Sage Plane. This was a small town and he could sense that there were only eight people in the Sage Plane, and just one in the Elemental Venerable Plane. Even the person in the Elemental Venerable Plane was only in the First stage. 

'How did she cultivate so fast?' He was intrigued. 

He felt there was more to this than he originally thought. But it was no business of his. There was no way he would involve himself in things like this. There was nothing he could stand to gain. 

'There's something good.'
