Affinity: Chaos Chapter 818 Can We Stop Them?

Chapter 818 Can We Stop Them?

Keith looked at Grey, unsure of how to reply. Grey came because he found the Faction interesting, this confirmed his thought of Grey being from a powerful background.

Now he understood why Grey didn't seem so bothered with getting beast cores. This was the last day, and Grey was still sitting here nonchalantly. The urge of asking Grey if he wanted to get beast cores came to his mind, but he decided to let it go. It was Grey's choice after all.

Grey naturally didn't know what he was thinking about. He stayed in the cave almost all through the day.

A few hours before sunset, Grey finally stood up from his sitting position.

'Is it time?' Void asked.

Grey nodded before walking towards the exit of the cave. Keith was standing outside, looking at the scenery. He had gotten bored of staying in the same place for two days, so he decided to stretch his legs.

"Where are you going?" He asked when he saw Grey coming out from the cave.

"Hunting." Grey's reply was simple and short.

"Finally." Keith said and followed behind him.

This was what he had been bothered about, but since Grey was finally taking the step, he felt a little excited. He wanted to see just how powerful Grey was. Although he saw him act the last time against the Golden fur panther, he felt that wasn't Grey's full strength.

After leaving the cave, Grey maneuvered through the forest like a beast who had stayed there all his life. From where he was headed, Keith guessed Grey wasn't moving blindly, he most probably had a target.

A few minutes later, he found Grey's target.

A large Raven that stood over three meters tall was resting on a small hill. The Raven was at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, and the aura it released was on par with the Golden fur panther.

'To think he wants to fight against that.' Keith clucked his tongue, amazed by Grey's choice.

Ten minutes later.

Grey was standing victoriously over the fallen Raven. It took him no longer than ten minutes to kill a beast at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, while still being in the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane. Grey's talent was something Keith didn't even dare to dream of having.

"Let's go." Grey said to Keith before keeping the core and corpse of the Raven. Their next target was a Fire Lion that was located deep within the forest.

This Lion was stronger than the Raven, but Grey still managed to defeat it within fifteen minutes without sustaining any major injuries.

He had some injuries, but they were only superficial ones, things that he couldn't really be concerned with.

They soon went for the third beast. At this moment, Keith finally recalled what Grey said to him when he invited him to join him, Grey told him he was surveying the place, now he knew why.

Grey planned to take out all the beasts at the very Peak of the Overlord Plane. A bold yet insane plan. While others were thinking of killing the weaker ones, he didn't even put them in their eyes.

This was what being a true genius was, he didn't need to bother with the small fries, he attacked the big ones from the start.

While Grey was on his hunt, something was happening outside the trial ground.

In a room outside the trail ground.

A group of young men dressed in loose clothes were staring at a map that seemed like a hologram, and right before their eyes, they watched as one of the brightest lights went out one by one.

At first, there were over thirty bright lights, but in the s.p.a.ce of two hours, fifteen went out. What shocked them even more was that of the five which shone the brightest, one of them was down as well.

This was something they never expected to happen. If the lights were dying out with a difference of hours, then they wouldn't be too concerned, but the speed at which they were dying down was alarming.

"Call the Elder." One of the young men said to another.

The young man nodded and went away. A few minutes later, he returned with the man who welcomed Grey and those who came for the recruitment over.

"Why are you calling me?" The old man asked with a calm expression.

"Elder, look." One of the young men pointed at the light dots.

At the time the Elder arrived, one of the lights was dying down, so he witnessed it as the man showed him the map.

"Oh, there's a good budding among them." The Elder said with a smile.

Even if the person who defeated this special beast was also at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, they must be powerful to be able to do this.

"That's not the problem Elder, the problem is that over fifteen has gone down in the s.p.a.ce of two hours." The young man explained with a wry smile.

"Huh! Are you sure of what you're saying?" The Elder asked, stunned.

"Yes, if you can wait a little while, then you will see what I'm talking about." The young man said.

The Elder stroked his beard before nodding, if what they said was truly happening, then there's a chance that there might be a figure in that Sage Plane in there, or the top figures amongst the recruits teamed up to take out these beasts. The thought of one person being the cause of this didn't come to his mind unless the person somehow broke through to the Sage Plane inside the trial ground.

If they knew an Eighth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist was the cause of this, it was unknown how they would feel.

The Elder was still waiting when he saw the scene right before his eyes. In twenty minutes, another bright light had died down, and this one was among the top ones.

"I wonder which people are behind this. Defeating these beasts is an impressive feat." The Elder commented.

"Should we do anything to stop it?" One of the young men asked with a pained expression.

"Why would you?" The Elder asked.

"Elder, it took so much effort to groom these beasts." One of the young men blurted out.

"You can always groom more, bringing a good talent to the Faction is the objective now." The Elder said before walking out of the room.

The young men exchanged glances, a little frustrated since they have to watch their efforts go down the drain. They couldn't help but curse at the person or people who were behind this.
