Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1048 Exactly!

Chapter 1048 Exactly!

Grey listened to everything Klaus was saying, he didn't interrupt him since he was also curious about his parents. He had heard a thing or two about them as well.

….

'Mom's always been domineering.' He thought to himself when he heard about his mother.

From the time he spent with her, he knew she was not a soft person. But hearing of how she was able to fight against over ten people on the same stage and still didn't lose out, he couldn't help but shake his head. His parents were freaks of their generation.

"No wonder you're such a freakish monstrosity." Klaus sighed as he said.

Grey didn't know if Klaus was complimenting him or insulting him, he couldn't be bothered with it and decided to just take it as a compliment.

"I heard there's a kill order on your head." Klaus said.

"You heard of that as well?" Grey was a bit depressed. Almost everyone knew of his kill order and he was getting tired of it.

'That hateful race.' He cursed internally.

"Everyone knows." Klaus replied, before muttering, "The rewards are tempting, I wonder if I can get them."

Grey shook his head when he heard Klaus' first statement, on hearing the other part, he glanced at him.

"Hey, do you think there's a way we can trick them that you're dead? I mean, you know how to hide your aura, all we need to do is to put a scar on your face or something, and you're as good as unrecognizable." Klaus suggested.

He continued, "We'll give them someone else and say it's you. That way, you wouldn't have to bother about the people who want to kill you any longer."

"I don't think they will fall for a trick like that. Besides, I want them to know that they can't kill me." Grey said.

"Wait, what did you do to attract such hatred anyway?" Klaus couldn't help but ask.

Grey went on to tell him about his time in the secret realm.

"d.a.m.n! You should've taken me along! The Mistress wouldn't mind if I went to a place like that, at least there I would improve faster." Klaus said with a regretful expression on his face.

If he had gone there with Grey, he would've not only attacked the Gnomes, he would've messed with the Giant race as well. Given his personality, even humans might also want to kill him there.

Grey took a glance at Klaus and could already tell what was on his mind, "It's a dangerous place, but there are opportunities, it wouldn't be bad if you go. But as things stand, you're not far from the Ninth stage, before you know it, you'll enter the peak and naturally breakthrough."

"What stage are you now?" Klaus asked Grey.

"Ninth stage. Will get to the Peak soon enough. I'm not in a hurry." Grey replied.please visit ?re????n?νℯ?.c?m.

Klaus closed his eyes for some time. For some time, he had almost always been ahead of Grey, especially whenever he managed to get some fortuitous encounters, but this time, Grey was ahead of him.

"I really need to go out. Staying in a single place isn't for me. It's too boring to only focus on cultivating. The Mistress doesn't even allow me to enter the secret realm." Klaus complained.

Grey laughed when he heard this. Klaus was just like Void, they hated peace. Whenever they were stuck in a place where nothing was happening, they would want to leave at all costs. Klaus was unlucky, Grey knew of his agreement with his Faction leader when he went to save the girl he was in love with. The Faction Leader seemed to be taking advantage of this.

Even after so long, although Klaus had advanced by a lot, he hadn't gotten the chance to go out as often any longer.

"Hey Void, what Rank are you now?" Klaus turned to Void who hadn't spoken a word and asked.

"Seven." Void said proudly.

"Rank Seven? That's the Elemental Venerable Plane, correct?" Klaus raised a brow.

Grey nodded. Klaus' expression changed lightly. He couldn't believe that Void would be the first one to become an Elemental Venerable.

He shook his head with a sigh, "Forget it."

He paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know of the seal?"

"What seal?" Grey asked.

"When the Gnomes attacked the first time, a senior from the True Dawn Faction sacrificed himself to seal the portal that the Gnome race used in entering our world." Klaus explained.

"True Dawn Faction." Grey seemed to be lost in thoughts, "Why does it sound so familiar?"

Grey felt like he had heard of this Faction before, not from a book, but he didn't know where.

"It's because you've been there." Klaus answered.

Grey's face changed, "Been there? Where is it located?"

"Azure Continent. The trial lands." Klaus' reply shocked Grey.

The highly respected True Dawn Faction was located somewhere as small as the Azure Continent.

He had read about the True Dawn Faction. Even though there wasn't much information about them in a public library, a top faction was different. When he joined the Lunar Faction, he read about the history of the continent and got to know about the war with the Gnome race. He didn't put the True Dawn Faction name to heart, and his mind didn't go to the trial land, so he didn't find anything to a.s.sociate the two together.

Only after Klaus spoke of it did he recall it.

"What about the seal?" Grey asked after some time.

"According to what I heard from the Mistress and the Elders, it's weakening." Klaus replied.

Grey squinted his eyes and didn't say anything else. The famous war of G.o.ds in the Azure Continent was referring to the battle with the Gnome race thousands of years ago. Those in the Azure Continent weren't too informed about this, or they were purposely led astray by the information they got. Only after coming here did Grey know that their world was invaded by people from another world, a different race.

These people brought necromancy to the Aurora Continent, such a hateful method.

"Did you find out how much time we have?" Grey asked.

"No, but I don't think it's long." Klaus said with a somewhat sad expression.

The risk of the Gnomes invading them was not something to be joked with.

Grey's expression was even more gloomy when he heard of this, "I'll kill them all. I'm their greatest nightmare."

"Huh? Why did you say that?" Klaus asked, when he heard Grey's words.

"I've been in contact with them, and I know a thing or two about necromancy. You should know I'm very curious, and tend to study a lot." Grey didn't go too deep in details, only telling him that he had a way that he could directly interfere with a Gnome's link with their puppets.

When Klaus heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, "No wonder they want you dead."

Grey shrugged. Compared to others, the Gnomes felt he was more of a threat, hence they treated him like one. From what his father told him, some Gnomes in the Elemental Venerable Plane had even managed to sneak into the Aurora Continent thanks to the help of some of the top powerhouses in the Gnome race distracting the people guarding the portal.

The portal that was sealed was not the only portal that led to the Aurora Continent from the Gnome race, but it was the only one that could allow those in the Elemental Sovereign Plane and above to enter. If those below the Elemental Sovereign Plane came to the Aurora Continent, it was no different from a death wish. This was also the reason why although there had been times when a few Gnomes managed to sneak in, humans didn't think too much about it. Besides, they've almost always managed to kill anyone that steps out of the portal.

Just as humans were protecting their portal, the Gnomes were also doing the same. It would be a disgrace if a human came to their world and caused havoc. They've always felt that humans were below them, so they looked at them with disdain.

'Elemental Venerable. I wonder when I'll get to that level.' Grey thought to himself.

….

He stayed with Klaus all through the day and they enjoyed their time. Klaus had a lot of stories to share, and Grey listened to all of them.

When the next day came, Klaus suggested they went over to meet up with Reynolds and Alice. It had been a long time since all four of them were together, and he missed it.

Grey had no objections to it, as long as Klaus was given the freedom to leave.

Klaus was surprisingly allowed to leave, Grey couldn't help but give him a meaningful look.

"What did you say?" He asked as they walked away from the city.

"I told them my sister is sick." Klaus replied with a grin.

"But you don't have a sister." Grey rubbed his head.

"Exactly."
