Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 881 Search For Grey II

In a cave not too far from the city where Grey formed an alliance with the people from the Lutra race.

A youth accompanied by a snake could be seen sitting down quietly.

Keith raised his head to look outside the cave. He hadn't left this place since Grey took him to meet the King of this kingdom.

"Let's go." He stood up and patted the head of the two-headed snake.

They've come to grow a bond with each other since traveling together in the Lutra realm. Keith wouldn't dare to touch the snake the first time Void passed it to him, but now, he could freely ride on it.

The snake nodded with both heads and they stepped out of the cave. Their destination was the same as that of almost every member of the Pyrmond Faction that was in the Lutra realm.

Back at the sea.

Void and the triplets from the horned race had searched everywhere close to this sea, but there was no sign of Grey, nor even a body. It was like Grey disappeared altogether.

"Where could he have gone to?" One of the triplets asked.

"By any chance, was he ejected from the realm as well? There's a high chance something like that happened given the fact that he was close to the man." The Space Elementalist amongst the trio said.

They've all successfully broken through to the Sage Plane, and he was the one with the highest stage, being in the Third stage. He was already very close to breaking through to the Fourth stage as well.

After being stuck at the Peak of the Overlord Plane for so long, it was not surprising that they broke through with such ease and are advancing faster than even Grey. The other two of the triplet were in the Second stage respectively, but they were not far from getting to the Third stage.

"No, he's still in this realm, we just don't know where." Void replied with a downcast expression.

He had been trying to track Grey down with their connection, but it was futile. He couldn't even sense a bit of Grey's energy which frightened him. He feared for the worse, but he was still hopeful for the best.

"The Lord is alive, let's spread out once again. We'll search the cities around this place. Even if we have to turn this entire realm upside down, we will find him." The first of the brothers Grey caught declared.

They were forever indebted to him for giving them this opportunity to break through their boundaries, even though they still felt some sort of hostility towards him, their gratitude to him for this chance overshadowed it.

Void nodded and vanished. The triplet nodded and spread out in different directions, this time, they were determined to locate Grey.

Somewhere in the Lutra realm. Far away from the sea the battle occurred.

A figure could be seen dragging himself along the ground. The current condition of the figure was beyond horrifying. Part of this figure's face was disfigured, leaving only bones that were covered in blood. More than half of the figure's body was missing.

This figure was none other than Grey who Void and the entire members of the Pyrmond Faction were searching for. After crawling to a certain point, he stayed in the same position for some time.

'Crap! This is bad.' His head was fuzzy and he couldn't even speak.

He tried to reach out to Void, but it was impossible. He could barely see anything, and with a few more struggled breaths, he fell on the ground, motionless. Unable to sustain his body with just one hand any longer.

Some minutes earlier.

When Grey and the man were still fighting in the sea. After they charged at each other with Grey deciding to use the talisman in his hand.

The man exploded out with a terrifying attack that made Grey feel fear. He didn't need anyone to tell him that the attack was that of someone above the Sage Plane. Even the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane wasn't this powerful.

The talisman he originally wanted to use as a means of attack, he quickly changed its uses. Not just that, but he also took out another talisman he had with him, it was an Elemental Venerable defensive talisman.

Everything happened in a split second, and he acted accordingly.

After using the defensive talisman to try to stop the attack, he waited until just after the attack hit him and used the healing talisman on himself. Even with the high level of the talisman, it was almost useless.

The force that ejected the man from the world threw Grey to an unknown location in the Lutra realm.

His current condition was unpredictable, and if he doesn't recover fast, he might most likely die from the injury.

Grey's body remained motionless as time slowly went by, in the blink of an eye, three days went by, and he was still lying motionless in the same place. There was no movement from him the entire time, not even the sign of breathing.

Three more days went by and there were finally signs of movement, but it wasn't from Grey's motionless body, it was from the side. A figure could be seen walking close to Grey's body, two actually.

"To think we would be the one to find him." A young man's voice said slowly.

"Is this even him? The last time we saw him, he was well, alive." Another young man said with a shrug.

"It's definitely him, take a look at the signals from the badge." The other young man pointed at their badges which glowed.

This was a feature programmed on the badges in case of a situation like this.

"Do you think he's alive?" The other youth asked.

"He doesn't seem to be. Let's check him out to confirm." The young man replied.

Just as he was about to touch Grey's figure, another person appeared beside them.

"Leave, pretend you never saw him. Even if you did, he's dead." The figure said coldly.

Both youths looked at the figure, and after realizing who it was, they nodded and left without a word.
