Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1342 An Aggrieved Skeleton

Chapter 1342 An Aggrieved Skeleton

Grey knew who the roar belonged to and didn't want anything to do with the owner.

He ran at his top speed, and before long, they were out of the place. They soon appeared on the Hill with the large stones. The second he came out, he waited for the others.

When they were out, he struck one of the pillars with a powerful punch, and a crack appeared.

"d.a.m.n it!"

The pillar was too strong.

He continued hammering down on the pillar. There was no way they could outrun the Skeleton as long as they were in this place, he was well aware of this. The best they could do was to trap it inside this place.

The cracks on the pillar continued to expand, but he could also sense a baleful aura coming from the portal. It was like an open door, and he could hear the hateful screams coming from inside.

The Skeleton was incensed!

Just when the Skeleton was about to get to the door, the pillar finally crumbled, and the door started to shake profusely.

Seeing this, Grey knew even if the Skeleton could come out, it would take a long time for it to stabilize the portal. The reason the portal wasn't wholly damaged was due to the presence of the other four pillars. But pa.s.sing through it as it is was a dangerous endeavor that would cost the Skeleton a lot.

Grey turned to the others, and they continued their escape. He knew this would only delay the Skeleton and not stop it.

Once the Skeleton was out, it would definitely go after them. Since they'd taken the best treasures this place had to offer, there was no need to stay there any longer.

Also, when pa.s.sing through the pit the Skeleton fell in, Grey, being a s.p.a.ce Elementalist, managed to get into the spatial storage of the Skeleton and not only steal the flowers but the orb as well. Although he was in a hurry, he still had time to take those things. He had already marked them, so locating their coordinates was easy. He still took some random items. There was no time to look around, and Void didn't want to take on such a risky mission.

"Kid! I'll kill you even if it's the last thing I do!"

The roars of Skeleton could be heard, but it wasn't advancing, which indicated that the portal had stopped it.

Elaris and the others couldn't help but internally applaud Grey's quick-wittedness. In such a situation, they weren't sure they could even think about what he did, and even take the risk of doing it. Only someone as powerful and as quick-witted as Grey would not only think of such a thing but also execute it.

….

A few minutes later, they reached the tomb where they first encountered the Skeleton. This time, Grey went straight to the tomb and opened it. His eyes lit up when he saw the items inside.

There were a good number of treasures present inside, and they were ownerless at the moment. Being the generous person he was, he couldn't let them sit idly without any owner, so he picked them up.

When the others saw him robbing the Skeleton's grave, they didn't know if they should feel bad for the Skeleton or commend Grey's bravery.

The Skeleton was already swearing on its life to end Grey, yet Grey was still here, attempting to rob its grave.

If they found out that Grey went as far as taking the flowers and the orb he gave the Skeleton, they would be beyond amazed.

Grey naturally didn't have time to sit and talk, so he left the place as soon as he was done.

The other four followed behind him.

In no time, they were on the long path that led to the tomb. They were all top Elementalists, and their memory was far more potent than a regular human's. It didn't take long for them to navigate through the paths they previously used.

Before long, they were on the spot they split up with the Giants.

….

"Should we wait for them?" Brax asked.

"Nope. We're leaving." Grey had no plans of staying there.

The Skeleton might have already escaped from the portal. Once it sees the current state of its grave, it might want to fight to the death with Grey.

Grey would feel a lot safer when he's no longer in this place. In fact, if given the chance, he would leave the secret realm as a whole.

His target had been met, and with the things he had, he could give some to his friends to grow. This will be enough to encourage them to leave this place.

Elaris agreed with Grey. From how the Skeleton acted when Grey stole its flowers, it would definitely come after them as long as they were still inside the pyramid. Their best bet now was to leave this place.

With Elaris agreeing with Grey, the others had no reason not to leave. They all left the place and headed straight for the pyramid's exit.

What happens with the Giants is no concern of theirs. Their truce ended when they stepped into the pyramid.

….

Inside the Pyramid.

The Tomb of the Skeleton.

When the Skeleton managed to pa.s.s the portal, its previous white bones had a hint of black on them.

"That little brat. I'll kill him. You wait for me to recover fully."

"You dare defy a G.o.d."

The Skeleton was rambling when it opened the grave, the flames in its eyes nearly extinguished.

"Gone… they're gone."

It knew only one person dared to empty its grave, and it was the person who left it in this state.

"I should've let him go." A hint of regret was in its voice when it said this.

"At least I got the flowers and…"

The Skeleton wanted to bring out the flowers from its spatial storage, but it was shocked when it noticed not only it missing but other valuable treasures as well.

"Ah!!!"

The aggrieved scream of the Skeleton resonated across the entire Pyramid.
