Affinity:Chaos

Grey appeared in a place he was slightly familiar with. It was where they came for the competition.

'I need to break through to the Sage Plane on this trip. The time for my revenge is getting closer. If my guess is accurate, that guy should've broken through to the Sage Plane a long time ago.' He thought internally.

There was just over a year before the competition, and he still hadn't broken through to the Sage Plane. If he were to stay at the Peak of the Overlord Plane as long as he stayed at the Peak of the Origin Plane, then things would be extremely difficult for him.

"Come on, let's get going." Grey walked forward, Keith following behind him.

Keith was a little nervous since unlike others who had to take part in a competition, he was going without doing that. According to what Grey told him, he could go with him. He didn't know how true it was, but he knew for a fact that Grey wasn't the type to lie to others, especially for something like this.

When they got to the portal to the secret realm, the Elder in charge looked at Grey, seeing Keith beside him, he didn't say anything other than telling them the time limit they would be spending there.

Since resources are not infinite, each person who enters the secret realm can only spend a limited time inside. There was also a limit to the number of people that could go into the secret realm. If the place was flooded with too many people, then it would disrupt the balance there.

Grey wasn't too bothered about the time limit. He wanted to stay till the time limit, besides, he couldn't stay in the Aurora Continent since he was still being chased by necromancers.

'Once I'm done with this trip and going for the competition for Sylvia, I'll start searching for my parents.' He concluded.

He planned to even head to the Dawson Family where Conor was from before even going over to meet up with Sylvia. Since it was in this Region, why wait till later. Besides, even if he finds out his parents were not from that Dawson Family, he would just take it as visiting a friend of his.

He also wanted to visit Kyle as well. Since they separated, he hadn't really heard from him, the few times he spoke with his friends, he only spoke with Klaus, Alice, and Reynolds.

He had a lot of plans, but those will only be possible after he comes out of this secret realm.

The Elder removed the seal from the portal and the duo walked into it.

When Grey and Keith's figure disappeared, a man appeared beside the Elder. It was none other than the man secretly protecting Grey.

"You know you can't go in, right?" The Elder looked at the man.

He was one of the few people who knew of this man's presence.

"I know, I'm just bored being alone for too long so I decided to speak with you for some time." The man said with a soft smile.

The Elder nodded and they both took their seats and started to speak about life and their journeys in cultivation. Sometimes, casual talks like this can help an Elementalist open a new realm they knew nothing about when it came to understanding their elements.

Once an Elementalist becomes an Elemental Venerable or higher, they rely mainly on their understanding of their elements to grow stronger. Battles mainly involved the use of domains, and a domain will not be powerful if the Elementalist didn't have sufficient knowledge of his elements.

In the secret realm.

Grey and Keith appeared together and some youths were there. They gave them all the information they needed on the place.

This realm had humanoid figures as well, just like the horned race, however, unlike humans and the horned race, this race was a little different. Their skin color varied from green to red, and brown. Basically, each individual's skin showed their elemental affinity.

From the start, they all knew what elements they were attuned to without having to have a test like humans. Those of the horned race had things a little different.

Grey summoned the triplet he captured from the horned race. They were still at the Peak of the Overlord Plane and this was a good opportunity for them to advance. After watching Void break through the last time, they gained some enlightenment, a few more things and they would be able to break through.

Grey handed the two-headed snake to Keith since it was already in the Sage Plane, it would be able to protect him in such a place.

"We should go our separate ways here. I wish you all the best on your journey. We'll meet in six months." Grey said to Keith, before leaving he turned around once again, "Also, take this, you can communicate with me with this. If you're in any trouble that guy can't deal with, just send a distress signal and I'll be able to find you."

He tossed a communication device at Keith. This one was special, compared to the others he had made, he can use this to track down Keith.

He also gave the triplets one each and told them it would be better for them to move out separately. But everything ultimately lied on their decision.

When he was done with everyone, he turned around and left decisively, Void sitting proudly on his shoulder.

"Hehe, finally, time for chaos." Void laughed playfully.

"We're only here to train, no one is causing any chaos." Grey said with an apathetic voice.

"You're no fun. However, I can already see the people here trembling at the mention of my name." Void said with a majestic voice.

"You're not going anywhere on your own, now sit tight, our journey starts now."

After saying this, Grey's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot he was standing on.

Keith and the triplet exchanged glances. The triplet couldn't help but remember when Grey came to their world. They looked at this world, and pity flashed through their eyes.
