Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 927 Thousand Honing Fruit

Grey spent a day in Harp City, the Region was named after this city. Kyle was a good host, taking him around. Originally, he didn't want to stay more than a few hours since he didn't have much to say, but after Kyle persuaded him for some time, he agreed to stay for only a day.

His time was quite fun, he didn't do anything other than go to different places. Void was the one who had the most fun since after Kyle found out that he liked shiny things, he took him to a special place in the City. The place only had antiques, and they were all shiny things.

Most of the items were useless to Elementalists, but Void's obsession with shiny things preceded if the items had any use or not.

By the end of their trip, Kyle was forced to buy a few things for him. Void had a keen perception of items that would be of some use, so he was able to get a few. After that, his next stop was the restaurants in the City. Grey enjoyed this bit since each City tends to have a certain specialty.

Seven restaurants later, Grey and Void almost had plans to kidnap one of the cooks, however, Kyle was able to get them the recipes with his influence.

The next day.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I enjoyed my time here and wouldn't mind coming again." Grey said with a smile.

"It's great that you had a great time." Kyle said with a smile, he paused before saying, "I heard those from the Syphilis Faction are searching. According to what I know, those in the Late stages of the Sage Plane want to challenge you now that they know that you're alright."

"Eh? There's something like that? Interesting." Grey was a little taken aback, but he didn't take it too seriously. These were people he could beat up, and if any of them dared to attack him, he didn't even mind killing them.

"Thanks for the heads up, I'll be careful. Besides, it's not like they can beat me anyway." He nodded to Kyle.

After saying his goodbyes, he left.

Kyle and Andrew were the duo who saw him off. Andrew looked at Grey's disappearing figure, "Isn't he a little too proud?"

He was disapproving of Grey's proud nature. Defeat Late stage Sage Plane Elementalists while still in the Third stage of the Sage Plane? Only a fool would believe that!

Andrew, who was in the Fifth stage didn't dare to say that he could beat any of the geniuses in the Seventh stage, yet Grey had the guts to say it.

"For others, it is not possible, but for him, it just might be possible." Kyle said with a shake of his head, he was the one who had traveled with Grey and his crew, so he knew never to underestimate Grey.

In the entire crew, Grey was the one who rarely spoke, and he was not the proud type as well. If he said he could beat those people, then Kyle was sure that he had confidence in being able to beat them.

Andrew looked at his brother as if he had gone mad, he decided not to talk about it again since there was no need to.

…

Grey left Harp Region in a very short time. Now that he had seen Kyle, his next stop was the Dawson Family.

He was moving when he felt something vibrate in his storage ring. Bringing it out, it was the item he usually used to send food over to his Teacher. When he recovered, he didn't forget to send food over. He also asked for some light elemental talismans.

His Teacher gave him some, naturally. With these, he had been trying to improve his light elemental grade. Of all his elements, the light element was the weakest. Not just that, but just like the space element, finding treasures related to the light element was extremely difficult. Since Grey had been in the Aurora Continent till now, he had never heard of the appearance of one. His other elements were able to move this fast because other than trying to comprehend them, he also used elemental treasures on them.

To his surprise, when he brought out the item, he received a letter. According to the letter, his Teacher was coming to the Aurora Continent in search of something.

'Teacher's coming here? That should be nice, I'll get him to beat some of those necromancers.' Grey thought internally.

However, after some thought, he paused. There's a chance that his Teacher might still be in the Sage Plane. If that was true, then he might even be able to beat him now. If he used the Fusion State, he could get to the Peak of the Sage Plane, how hard could beating his Teacher be if they were in the same stage?

He didn't let this get to his head though. The letter didn't state what his Teacher was in search of, so he wrote a reply, asking for what his Teacher was in search of. He had been in the Aurora Continent for some time now, maybe he might've come across the item before.

Some minutes later, his Teacher replied. The letter only had three words, Thousand Honing Fruit.

'Eh?' Grey didn't know of the fruit at first, he browsed through his memory, trying to recall where he had read about this fruit before.

He soon got the answer.

The Thousand Honing Fruit was a rare treasure that was beneficial in healing a damaged core. If an Elementalists damages their core, this fruit can not only help fix it, but it would also make it better.

This was one of its major uses, it was also great for Elementalists above the Sage Plane. If those below the Sage Plane try to consume it, the energy in it will cause more harm than good.

At the thought of the fruit, Grey was a little excited. If his Teacher could get one for him, then it would help boost his strength.
