Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1277  Chaos Is Coming

Grey took the device and just when he tried to test his elemental grade, the device imploded.

He looked at his hands in shock, unsure of what to feel. For some reason, he was certain that his elemental grades had increased, but there was no way for him to confirm it since he couldn't check it. Apparently, the second the energy enters his body, the chaos orb automatically reacts, destroying it.

It was a strange situation, and there was no way he could control it.

'Looks like I made it more arrogant.' He chuckled internally.

There was nothing he could do, since the chaos orb didn't want him to check his elemental grade, then he would just let it be, besides, since getting to the Sage Plane, his elemental grades hasn't affected his strength much, the only time it is effective is while he was using his domain. With a better elemental grade, he could make his domains stronger.

'I wonder why I'm getting this feeling.' He recalled the feeling he got when he was consuming part of the origin source, although it was vague, he sensed there were not only eight elements.

After a while he gave up on it, there was no need to think too much about it.

Grey walked over to the others who were seated outside the house.

"What's the plan now? I'm done with my training."

"Hmm, we should start our journey then. I believe after what happened, there will be unrest in the continent." Klaus responded after giving it some thought.

Grey nodded, "I should get Arya and her brother settled first before leaving."

He decided to tell Arthel to watch over them. Arthel was an Elemental Venerable expert, he was more than enough to take care of the duo.

Arya's brother is naturally too weak to be taken into the Dawson Family, if not, Grey would've told his parents about it.

He went over to meet up with his parents and then told them of their upcoming journey.

Lucas was in support of it, Martha, not so much. She felt with the seal weakening, Grey would be in danger from the Gnomes who would most definitely start to attack soon enough.

It took a bit of convincing, before she agreed to let him go. Being the top expert she is, she decided to give Grey a few things that he could use in cases of any emergency.

Grey took them and left with his friends.

….

The Dawson Manor.

In a secret room.

"What's going to happen now?"

"I don't know, but I sensed a top expert from the Gnome race entering our world."

"Chaos is coming."

"We'll be ready for it."

….

The entire Aurora Continent was in an alert state. The phenomenon that occurred stirred something in the Continent that had been sleeping for a long time.

Deep in one of the forests in the Aurora Continent.

A group of people could be seen gathered.

"The seal is weak now, we should attack now."

"No, they are all alert and ready to defend. If we attack now, we will wait until they let their guard down."

"Strike while it's hot."

"This is why your entire group was demolished, you never think with your head."

"Say that again."

"You're a moron."

"Settle down. I just received information that someone has slipped through the portal."

While two from the group were arguing, an old man walked into the room.

Everyone shut their mouths as the man walked in.

"Are we going to receive this person?" One of them asked.

"I've sent out word, the person will come here on his own." The Old man said slowly, his hands slightly on his chin.

"To be honest, I'm more interested in what caused the phenomenon." He added.

"The origin source was messed with. It seemed to have been oppressed by something stronger." One of the men said.

"A part of the origin source has been taken, I can fill it." The Old man's words shocked everyone.

"Impossible! How can the origin source be taken?" Someone spoke up.

"Not all, just a little part of it." The Old man smiled, "There's someone who can take the origin source, and I want to know who."

The Old man looked at everyone present and their eyes were serious, they understood the implications behind the words of the Old man. If there is someone who could take part of the origin source, that person would be a heaven-defying figure.

With such a person present, it would be very dangerous for them. There's a possibility that it might even be the work of a True God. That's the only possibility they could think of, locating the origin source is something that is deemed impossible for them. Other than when breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, an Elementalist could barely get the opportunity to have contact with the origin source again.

Now, there was someone who took parts of the origin source in the Aurora Continent.

"Could it be the work of one of the True Gods from the Gnome race?" Someone asked.

The possibility of this being what happened was very high. However, they felt like if they were the ones who did it, they would've attacked the portal at the same time too.

The Old man squinted his eyes and said, "I believe it's one of the young geniuses."

The others looked at him shocked.

"It's just my thoughts, I feel only one of those youths who is daring would dare to do something like this. Even I would be scared to do something like this if I had the chance."

The consequences that could come with messing with the origin source is something all the top experts would be wary of, but a youth wouldn't be bothered with all this, and would just try out his luck.

The more the man thought about it, the more he felt like it was what happened.

'I wonder how this person has improved.' He thought to himself.

The Old man and his group continued speaking with the others when a shadow entered the room.

"You found us so soon." The Old man didn't need to look, he could already sense the presence of a top expert.

"You didn't make it hard to find you." A voice came from the shadow.

"What's the plan?" The Old man asked.

"Nothing for now." The voice said, it looked at the people present and asked, "Is this all that's left?"

"No, there are some in different places. You know we can't all be gathered in one place."

"Alright, send out words to the others, find the boy called Grey, and kill him."

There was silence in the room, then the voice spoke up again, "No wait, don't kill him, I need him alive."

"What's so special about this boy?" The Old man asked.

"Let's say, he's someone who can make life hell for all of us." The voice said.

"Don't just send the word out to kill him, gather the others, we should prepare for war."

…..

This wasn't the only place conversations like this are taking place.

Everyone was curious about what happened to the origin source, while the top experts were more concerned about who was bold enough to take a part of the origin source.

It was something that shouldn't have been possible, yet it is.

The search for the person who could do this was one, while the search for the expert from the Gnome race who entered the Aurora Continent was also on.

They couldn't give the Gnomes the chance to get a good strong hold in this place. They already had necromancers who were making things difficult, if an expert of this level were to unite with them, it isn't something they would want to happen.

Unknown to them, the figure had already met up with the necromancers and was even preparing for war.

….

The border of the Western Region.

Grey and his group looked at the town in front of them.

too many troubles." Grey looked at Klaus.

He already had an enemy there, luckily, he also had an ally. He "The Middle Continent is somewhere we will have good fun." Klaus smiled.

"There are top Families and Factions there, we shouldn't get into too many troubles." Grey looked at Klaus.

He already had an enemy there, luckily, he also had an ally. He didn't mind visiting the Burchard Family if he went to the Middle Continent.

According to the plans of the group, they would go to all five Continents within six months, and train on the way.

It would be a great way for them to spend time together.

"Don't worry, I believe I can make a few friends, with my brains and your face, we should be good." Klaus wasn't bothered with Grey's words.

Grey knew Klaus didn't even think much about what he said. Either, there was no harm in warning him.

With that, the group walked into the city, heading to the Middle Continent. This would be Grey's second time coming here, and this time, he didn't want to be in a near death situation.
