Affinity:Chaos

The second the group vanished, an Old man who had two different colors appeared before Grey.

He looked around and snorted coldly, before stretching out his hand towards the empty space, clenching it, Grey felt a powerful spatial vibration.

'Crap! He wants to break the spatial tunnel and force them back.' He rushed into action and stood in front of the man.

He couldn't allow the man to do as he pleased. After making such a difficult effort to rescue the group, the man was going to bring them back just like that.

He activated his gravitational force field. Since the man was close to him, he was instantly affected by it.

This man in question was already on the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane. Grey on the other hand had broken through to the Second stage of the Sage Plane. He was the fastest amongst all the people who came in here while at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. When he studied Kieth and the others, he noticed most of them were still in the Overlord Plane. Kieth was fortunate to be among the few who had broken through to the Sage Plane.

Grey's strength was not something this man could take lightly. When the man sensed the gravitational force field, it was already too late and he had lost focus on his task. The group escaped with him being unable to stop them.

He looked at Grey with an odd and angry expression. The season for this was because, from Grey's blue color, it showed that he was a Water Elementalist, yet, he had not only used the space element, but he had also used something related to the earth element.

"Who are you?" The man paused to ask.

He wanted to ensure Grey was not a genius from their race. If such a genius existed, then they had a good chance of breaking the barrier and going over the Sage Plane.

"An unknown figure who will be leaving now." Grey replied in the Lutra race's language before turning around.

The man chased after him. He didn't even think Grey was human because not only did he have their color which showed their elemental affinity, but he could also speak their language perfectly. It was almost impossible for his mind to go to that side.

"Stop!" The man appeared in front of Grey.

Grey couldn't continue his movement so he had to stop and listen to what the man had to say.

"I'll forgive the fact that you saved those humans, what I want to know is who are you, and how come you're only coming out now?" The man said calmly.

He wanted to reason with Grey calmly since he saw a lot of potential in him. Also, if he could recruit someone like Grey under his wings, he wouldn't have to fear his opponents and could fight for what he wanted in the kingdom.

Grey didn't say anything, he only looked in Void's direction, Void was still fighting against the man. He was at the disadvantage, and honestly, he wasn't really a match for the man he was fighting against. However, because of his space element, the man couldn't kill him. Void's mastery of the space element was miles ahead of Grey, and even if Grey manages to break through to the Mid stages of the Sage Plane, he still wouldn't have a better mastery of the space element.

The man looked at Void, intrigued by the ingenuity of the beast. He never thought there would be a beast that was this powerful around. Seeing how Grey looked at Void, his eyes lit up.

"You want the beast? I believe it came here with the humans, but I can subdue it for you." The man tried to use Void to coerce Grey into becoming friends with him.

Grey didn't expect the man to ask him a question like this, so he froze in surprise.

'He still doesn't understand I'm from the human world?' He thought internally.

Grey didn't understand how high the allure of breaking the shackles of their world was to these people. If one person could break through and become an Elemental Venerable, then they would pave the way for the others. This was something they all wanted badly, so seeing someone of Grey's talent and understanding he was just barely over twenty years old, the man wanted to find a way to recruit him and make him his successor.

He didn't even mind going against the entire race for him. Unfortunately for the man, he had no idea that Grey wasn't from their race, rather, he was also one of those hateful humans.

The man assumed that since Grey didn't speak and continued looking at Void's meant that he wanted him. He decided to take action and stepped into the battle.

'What the hell, Grey?! What are you doing?' Void couldn't help but complain when he saw Grey standing aside and the man he was supposed to fight against had teamed up with the man fighting him. He could barely hang on against this opponent, yet a stronger one was getting involved as well.

Grey chuckled and after Void was beaten for a few seconds, he stepped in. With his gravitational force field fully active, and also his elements in place, he attacked.

His aura suddenly started to increase at a fast pace.

The man who wanted to recruit him froze when he sensed this. Grey's aura which was around the Second stage of the Sage Plane moved upwards to the Third stage, within a second, it had reached the Fourth stage.

With the Fusion State, he could increase his stage by the number of elements he had. Since he had eight elements at the moment, he could increase his stage by eight elements.

He was already in the Second stage, so if he added eight more stages, he would go straight to the Peak of the Sage Plane. The only thing at the moment was that he wasn't as powerful as a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist, but he could at least hold his own against them.
