Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 413: You Don't Believe Me?

Grey and Klaus had no idea what the town chief did to the people they just killed, neither did they care.

Although this attitude of theirs seemed extreme, it’s pretty common in the world of Elementalists. Only the strong are allowed to walk and do whatever they want freely, status and family background means nothing in front of those who are truly strong.

This was exactly why the Emperor didn’t want to take the chance of giving them the opportunity to grow stronger. Once they were stronger than the rest of the people in the continent, then it didn’t matter if the opponent was an Emperor or the Crown Prince, they could do whatever they wanted when offended.

They could even forcibly take the throne from the current Emperor and there was nothing he could do. Of course, none of them had such plans. Maybe except for Klaus, given his personality, he’d probably want to be in a very high place.

Grey didn’t really enjoy being in the limelight, he preferred the solitary life of his Teacher. He would be like his Teacher, but he wanted such a peaceful life.

Even the Emperor can’t do anything to his Teacher who was still in the Overlord Plane. He couldn’t help but imagine what would happen once his Teacher breaks through to the next Plane. According to the few people who had interacted with his Teacher, he was a once in ten thousand years genius. His Teacher was so powerful that it was unbelievable.

To be sincere, he would really like to see his Teacher in action. Unfortunately, other than when he slapped that Instructor from the Starlight Academy to death back at the Capital, he hadn’t seen him do anything major again.

Grey noticed something in his Teacher at that time, compared to other Elementalists, he seemed to be better physically. Even though it wasn’t up to Grey’s level of physical strength, his Teacher seems to be well above the other Elementalists in that aspect.

….

Moon Town.

The duo soon returned back to the tea shop, Klaus was joking around with Grey, while also speaking to Alice and Reynolds. Grey could see the excitement in Klaus’ expression when he was speaking with the others.

After not seeing and speaking with each other for so long, they had a lot to catch up on, especially Klaus and Reynolds who for some reason soon started a cursing session as they would usually do.

Klaus was undoubtedly the winner, as usual. Grey didn’t even consider it a competition between the two, if he was placed in Reynolds’ position, he would try to avoid this as much as possible.

Unfortunately, after losing to Klaus’, Reynolds decided to team up with Klaus and focused their attention on him.

Alice was constantly laughing from her location. Even saying as much as a single word was difficult for her due to how much she was laughing.

All in all, the group had a great time. Klaus always tends to make them all laugh, even in serious situations, this was why he was the most fun to be with.

Grey was certain the group would speak more frequently now with Klaus around, but he wouldn’t really be a big part of the conversation since he had to focus on getting to the Magical Beasts’ forest.

Klaus’ father had given him a map indicating which direction he should take to the Magical Beasts’ forest. He also marked out the city he would check out for the auction. Who knows, he might actually not need to enter the treacherous forest in search of the Resurgence Liquid, instead, he would be training and searching for his parents.

Void’s injury only delayed his search for his parents, it didn’t stop it. He was sure that at some point, he would be able to find them, until then, he wanted to grow as fast as he could. Once he’s gotten to the peak, then he wouldn’t be afraid of losing anyone close to him anymore.

The name of the City he was heading to was called Lapis City. This city was just as its name suggests, only a little different. It could be regarded as a treasure city. One could find so many rare treasures in this city that it was astonishing.

The city is also famous for having the rare lapis stone, hence its name. It gained popularity because of this stone, and because of the huge quantity it had, some people believed this place was a blessed land of treasure. These stones are used in making all types of weapons, they were very important to all forge masters. And since Grey had been improving his knowledge on forge mastering these few weeks, he planned to get some stones for himself.

The group left Moon town together, they were able to surprisingly encounter the town chief and the people on their way out.

Seeing the people, the others knew this was clearly the work of the two rascals among them.

“Your work?” Blake looked at the duo.

“Not one worth showing off about, but yeah, we took care of some trash who wanted to kill us even after the town chief had agreed we could leave. Also, I should enlighten you, these people have a strange transformation technique that turns them into literal gigantic ice monsters with strength greatly improving. Of course, they couldn’t get to the Overlord Plane. But the thought of what they could do if they truly had Elementalists in the Overlord Plane is quite scary,” Klaus replied.

Blake and Oliver turned to look at Grey, they couldn’t really afford to believe everything that came out of Klaus’ mouth. He tends to spout nonsense sometimes, but, of course they knew he was telling the truth in this scenario because they sensed the auras while they were fighting.

The only reason they didn’t come out to intervene was because they didn’t sense any aura surpassing that of an Origin Plane Elementalist. There was one which almost got to the Overlord Plane, but it unfortunately didn’t. i????????????????????d. c????????

Grey nodded to affirm what Klaus was saying.

“You don’t believe me?” Klaua asked with an angry expression.
