Affinity: Chaos

Boom!

A loud explosion followed after Grey's punch.

The figure of the young man was sent flying, but he maneuvered mid-air and balanced himself. His figure was covered with lightning, but he couldn't help but look at Grey, shaken.

Yes, he was shaken. Grey's strength was beyond his imagination. Not just Grey, but Void and the bunny leader as well. Each of them had unique abilities. Seeing the scales on Grey's body, he guessed some things.

'He still shouldn't be this powerful.' He felt a bit downcast.

The feeling of being defeated by a single attack was something he almost couldn't take. It was infuriating just thinking of it!

Void and the bunny leader were also freakish entities as well. Void's darkness domain was the main thing that weakened his defenses on time before Grey's attack, while the bunny leader's attack didn't give him the chance he needed, giving Void's darkness domain to eat up his defense. This showed how well-coordinated they were.

He shook his head with a sigh and looked at the armor, "It is yours."

Grey didn't stand on ceremony, stretching his right hand, he grabbed at the armor. The armor buzzed, and a strange scene occurred. The storage ring on Grey's right hand shone with a bright light, and something flew out.

"My shiny sword!" Void exclaimed.

Grey rolled his eyes at Void's statement and pretended he didn't hear it. He still recalled the day in the cave when he chased Void because of this sword.

The eyes of the young man gleamed when he saw this sword, "Where did you get this?"

"True Dawn Faction." Grey's reply was short.

The young man nodded without any doubt, it was clear he was familiar with the True Dawn Faction, "I see. Are you part of them?"

"No, I chanced upon it when I went there some years back." Grey didn't hide how he got it, telling the young man how they went to the trial land.

"Destroyed as well?" The young man sighed.

"Not likely. But they should be in a dormant state." Grey replied, he didn't know much about the situation in the True Dawn Faction. His Teacher knew more, but he didn't tell him anything.

"The True Dawn Faction is the number one array master, the same goes for crafting weapons. This sword is a pair with the armor. I guess you truly are fated with this armor." The young man explained softly.

Grey looked at what was happening, intrigued. He almost died when collecting this sword. To think that it was actually a pair with this armor.

"Guess my luck isn't that bad." He chuckled.

The sword and armor started to merge, forming a single entity before long.

The glow of the armor became more brilliant.

"How is your body so strong?" The young man asked Grey.

Even during his time, there were few people with bodies as strong as Grey's, and they focused on mainly using the elements to nourish their bodies making their elemental essence lacking compared to their bodies.

Grey answered after taking the armor, "I train my body."

The moment he touched it, the armor drilled into his body and he felt a connection with it.

The young man was once again depressed. This was an armor that required a lot of nourishment before it can be connected to the physical body in this manner, but in Grey's situation, it didn't require any of that and directly linked with him.

'He has the sword, it should be because of that.' He consoled himself.

While he was still thinking about this, the armor appeared on Grey's body, and a pair of gloves appeared in his hands. The gloves suddenly transformed into a sword, a spear, and even a bow. It transformed into a variety of wepons.

The young man's view was once again shattered. Even after linking with the armor and the sword, an Elementalist would need at least some days or even months before being proficient with it. But Grey dified his thoughts, catching everything straight up.

'He doesn't know it's this hard, so there's no need to tell him.'

While still consoling himself, he saw the armor float out of Grey's body, covering Void's body.

"You can leave now." The young man didn't want to be in the same place Grey was anymore.

Grey was a little taken aback, he was just testing some things before he asked the young man a few questions, but the young man's mood suddenly changed when he was at the end of his test. He noticed he could use the armor to protect those close to him, so he wanted to try it out.

"Senior, I have some questions." He said hurriedly.

"Leave, I'm not in the mood to speak any further." The young man snorted.

"Is there any way I can get some answers from you?" Grey didn't want to give up.

The young man sighed and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"The path to the God Plane is blocked, this is the general trend everywhere. This Faction is said to be the last Faction to produce a True God. Does senior by any chance know why the path is blocked?" Grey asked hurriedly.

"Blocked?" The young man's face showed an odd expression.

Grey nodded and explained the general situation in the Aurora Continent to the young man.

The young man muttered in a low voice, "It shouldn't be blocked. How come that fellow didn't break through that barrier?"

He knew of a freakish genius in the True Dawn Faction that had the potential of being a True God. According to what he knew, the path could be broken, but not in the normal manner. When someone who can easily fight across Planes appears, then the perso would be able to destroy what was stopping others from stepping into the God Plane.

"Could he have died?" He looked up, lost in thoughts.

Unlike the True Dawn Faction, this Faction was truly destroyed.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the young man, Grey didn't speak and waited. A few minutes later, the young man looked at him, "Would you like to learn the essence of the Twillight Faction?"
