Affinity: Chaos

"Hey bud, do you think it would be like that place?" Klaus asked after some time.

"The trial land?" Grey looked at him.

"Yes. That place should also be part of the people who fought against the Gnomes in the war. Now that I think about it, I feel there's something strange about that place." Klaus nodded.

At the time they went to the trial land, they didn't know about any and only saw it as a land of opportunity. Now that they've come to the Aurora Continent, they've not only read about some things, but they've also seen some. It was safe to say that they were not the same people who entered the trial land years ago.

If this place is just like the trial land, then there are bound to be countless opportunities. Especially given the fact that it was the last Faction to produce a True God.

What was a True God? This was a Supreme being that could destroy the Aurora Continent with a snap of the finger.

Grey couldn't be bothered with these things for now, entering the place was his main priority. He would get stronger there and see how things are later on.

"Since we're going, you should be careful. Remember that the Gnomes sent out a death order for you. Some people would want to use this opportunity to kill you. In the Aurora Continent, it'll be hard to make a move on you given your background, but in there, there would be no way for a Peak Elemental Venerable to enter, much less an Elemental Sovereign.

Grey nodded, "Actually, as long as there are no Late stage Elemental Venerables there, I don't have too much to worry about. At most I'll run away."

"I have a thick skin, so it will be wishful thinking if they think they can kill me with one shot." He added.

The others have all seen his scales, it was quite powerful. And they all knew that he was also someone who had a strong physical body as well.

Most Elementalists were quite light in terms of weight, Grey, on the other hand, weighed as much as a six meter tall large Magical Beast. It was a strange thing.

Most of the time, after each breakthrough, he would quickly get used to his new weight, so as not to break the ground with each step. Very few people noticed this about him since he almost always breaks through alone.

The group continued chatting for a while and they felt it was safer to be in a group. Grey had enemies, but they were not united. This would mean even if they want to attack Grey, they would have to come alone or with their fellow Faction members. With this group together, it would be difficult to attack Grey.

Ellis was the strongest in the group, while Aelie was the weakest.

They all stayed together throughout that night, laughing and talking about their experiences

….

Three days later.

Those who needed to be present were already present, and the few who weren't there could be counted as unlucky. Besides, it wouldn't be too late to send them in later.

Grey was standing with his friends. Each of them left where their Factions were located and walked over to stand with Grey.

Grey wasn't standing with the Dawson Family either, he didn't see his father around, and the only familiar face he saw was Conor Dawson. After exchanging a few words with him, he left them alone.

He had also gone to pay his respects to Ellis' father. He was part of the people who sent the O'Brien Family over. Seeing Grey, he was full of smiles.

When he heard that Lucas Dawson was Grey's father, he muttered the same words as Ellis.

'No wonder.'

Lucas was a monstrous genius, it wasn't weird if his son was more monstrous than himself. Not just Lucas, but his wife, Martha, was also a top genius as well. Their son couldn't be lacking when it came to this.

Grey also went over to the Burchard Family, he was quite acquainted with them, and Sylvia was also present. Seeing that Grey had already advanced to the Elemental Venerable Plane, she couldn't help but give a wry smile. Before long, Grey would catch up to her.

She didn't know if she should be happy or not. When they met the first time, it could be said that she somewhat bullied Grey.

'He wouldn't want revenge, would he? He shouldn't be that petty, right?' She felt a bit fearful.

According to her understanding of Grey's character, he would seek revenge if threatened. He didn't care about anything else, so long as he deemed the other party a threat, he would want to eliminate them.

Luckily, she didn't do anything bad to him. Other than forcing him to fight and unknowingly almost getting him killed, she didn't do anything bad.

Grey met up with a few people before heading back to stand on his own.

His friends all stood by him.

Grey's appearance was very catching, he was well known by the younger generations, so some of them were introducing him to the older generation who brought them over.

The son of the famous Lucas and Martha Dawson. A youngster that the Gnomes released a kill order, someone who had attended multiple competitions and won all of them.

From their research, Grey appeared out of thin air, before conquering all the youths in the same stage as himself as he traveled. They've also done some research on his friends as well. They were all powerful in the same stage. Each of them seemed to be special as well.

One of them was a high grade summoner, another had a Seelie, an Elemental lifeform that rarely made bonds with people, and the last one could be said to be the ordinary one amongst all of them, but he was advancing even faster than the others, almost on par with Grey. Each of them could be regarded as a genius in any place, now they were all together.
