Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1221 Can Me Do This

The group walked forward cautiously, they all knew there was a hidden danger, and things might get worse for them if they were to face any other opponent as they moved forward.

They were still thinking about that probability when the golden robed man paused and looked ahead of him. His expression changed slightly and he said to the others.

"There's an array up front. I don't know what type it is, but I don't think it will be something that would aid our course."

Grey squinted his eyes and sent out his spiritual senses to chest out the array. It was a quite complex array, and he could sense different overlapping arrays on top of each other.

'This will be difficult. And with that thing lurking around, we will be in some sort of danger.' Grey thought internally.

He wasn't sure he would be able to keep the gravitational force field active while in that array. The best option was to get rid of the danger that could hurt them before stepping into the array.

'Hmm…' Grey looked around, an idea echoing in his mind. Without wasting much time, he executed it.

His eyes glowed with a pale blue glow as he looked around.

A smile broke out on his face when he looked around, the reason for that was because he could see an additional figure. This was a figure he couldn't see previously.

The figure had the shape of a human, but looked to be more like a specter. It had loose clothes and was floating in the air.

The golden robed man and the others were still speaking when they saw Grey's eyes glow blue. Some of them were about to ask what he was doing when they saw a smile break out on his face as he was staring in a particular direction.

"What's wrong?" The golden robed man was the first to ask.

"It's there." Grey pointed behind an Eighth stage Elemental Venerable.

This specter seemed to be following one of them very closely, in fact, it was following him as if they were one.

The person it was following looked at Grey, his expression cold.

"Why are you pointing at me?" The man asked. He heard Grey's statement, and he was a bit confused by it.

"Whatever is attacking us is behind you." Grey said.

"How are you certain?" The golden robed man asked.

"Is there anyone present who can use this sort of attack?" Grey asked while pointing at his glowing eyes.

After looking around, no one stepped forward. This means there was no one else to help him confirm his words. Of course, he didn't really need any confirmation, after all, he was seeing the specter with his eyes. The reason he was asking is that he wanted another person to confirm to the group.

"What now?" The son of the Dawson Family Head asked, he was speaking to Grey, and not the golden robed man.

Grey didn't reply, but his figure blinked and before anyone could realize what was happening, he had switched places with the man who the specter was standing behind. He wanted to confirm something first before attacking.

When he changed places with the man, he got confirmation for what he wanted to know. The man was tied to the specter.

"Kill him." Grey said coldly.

The man looked at Grey, his eyes cold.

Even the golden robed man looked at Grey, a bit confused.

"What's the meaning of this?" The man asked coldly, his eyes showing a bit of rage.

"I'm saying you're the one who brought the phantom here. If not, it wouldn't be that close to you even with your energy field on. I saw it when I activated this, and since I didn't want to falsely accuse you, I switched places with you just to be sure if it was hiding behind you or if it's part of you." Grey explained calmly.

"My switch technique will not take along something that doesn't belong or isn't tied to the individual I'm changing places with. There's also no way for the phantom to predict that I'm about to use that skill, so it was impossible for it to move that quickly and appear behind you once again."

The golden robed man looked at the man Grey was accusing of bringing the phantom that attacked them. He didn't know what to say since he couldn't see what Grey was seeing. This was the first time he was working with Grey, but this man, he had worked with him once, not on an expedition like this, but on something else. To say the least, he had a bit of trust in this man, compared to Grey.

"How come you're the only one who can see it?" The man asked a very important question.

Grey accusing him was something he would not stand for. The fact that Grey was the only one who could see it was a little suspicious.

'I should've kept shut.' Grey felt a growing headache.

Of course, he was still confident in being able to confirm his words, but with everyone staring at him now, he didn't want all that attention. The only reason he even spoke up was due to the array that was in front of them. Heading there with a hidden danger was not something he dared to do. Unless he was confident in breaking the array with ease, he would never enter with that danger still there.

This was the first time he was seeing an array like this and he knew that if he dared to be careless, he might face some dangers.

"You're seeing the change in my eyes, right?" Grey asked.

"It doesn't change anything. Anyone can make their eyes glow." The man said and even his eyes glowed with a silver color.

"You see, simple."

All he did was to channel his lightning essence to his eyes and his eyes glowed silver.

"Alright, do this then." Grey used his mental attack on the man and the body of the man started to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
