Affinity: Chaos Chapter 841 Not The Same?

Chapter 841 Not The Same?

Pyrmond Faction gate.

Grey was standing beside Keith.

"With those guys gone, you shouldn't have any problems in the Faction. But just in case, you can keep this guy, he's pretty useful." Grey said as he pa.s.sed on the two-headed snake over to Keith.

He spoke with Void about it, and Void said he had completely tamed the two-headed snake. It still had all its freedom, but it wouldn't harm nor disobey Void or his friends.

The snake was acquainted with Keith from the times they've traveled together, this made it easier for them to leave it with him.

"Thank you." Keith said in grat.i.tude. That group was his greatest fear, but he also knew that there was a chance that they would send others after him once they realized this group was dead. Leaving the snake with him was a means of helping him fight against those people who might come later on.

Grey nodded before turning to look at the people stepping out of the gate. The group consisted of fifteen people, eight youths and seven Elders.

He walked up to them since they would be heading to the place of the compet.i.tion together. The compet.i.tion usually takes place outside the realm, and there is a third party who always mediates the compet.i.tion.

An Elder dressed in black robes made a headcount, and after confirming that they were correct, he waved his hand and a powerful force sucked everyone into s.p.a.ce and they disappeared from view.

One hour later.

They appeared in a forest, on the side of a mountain was a youth dressed in blue, sitting in a cross-legged position. His eyes were closed and it seemed as if he blended into nature itself.

Grey was taken aback when he saw this youth, the aura the young man was radiating was almost identical to that of an ordinary person. But he knew otherwise.

"Alec, we're leaving." The Elder in black robes walked forward and said.

The young man referred to as Alec opened his eyes to look around.

Grey looked into the eyes of the young man and it felt as if his soul was set ablaze, however, his eyes started to glow with a pale blue flame, and the feeling stopped.

'Such an odd feeling. Mental attacks.' He thought as he looked at Alec.

Alec looked at Grey, surprised by their small exchange. He didn't attack them on purpose, it was a result of his training, but the fact that of all the youths present, Grey was the only one who didn't feel affected by it showed that he was not someone to take lightly.

"Alright, Elder." He bowed to the Elder.

"So, you didn't want to come back?" Asked an irritated voice from the group of youngsters.

It was a young lady who looked to be around eighteen. She was also at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, just like the others.

"I was held back by a small issue, but it's done now." Alec replied with a smile.

He turned to the others and exchanged greetings with them.

From what Grey could see, he was pretty friendly with those around. Of all the people present, Grey was the only new member of the Faction that got a spot in this compet.i.tion.

"h.e.l.lo, I'm Alec Baldwin, you are?" Alec stretched out his hand.

"Grey Dawson." Grey shook his hand as he introduced himself.

"Oh, you're from the Dawson Family?" Alec asked with a surprised look.

The Dawson Family was famous across this Region, so whenever someone spoke of the Dawson Family, everyone thought of the same family, the one who produced an unimaginable genius.

"I don't think we're speaking of the same Dawson Family, but I'm from a Dawson Family." Grey replied with a melancholic smile.

However, he quickly hid his feelings. His family was one of the few things he had not thought about for some time now. The truth was, he couldn't really say he had given up, but given the size of the Aurora Continent, it would take him years to sweep the entire Continent in search of his family. Without sufficient strength, he couldn't complete it quickly.

'I should visit this 'Dawson Family' they speak of.' Grey added this to the list of things he would do later on.

"Oh, not that Dawson Family. Anyway, it's nice meeting you." Alec said before focusing on the others.

The eyes of the Elders which lit up when Grey spoke of being from the Dawson Family died down when he said he wasn't from that Dawson Family. The Dawson Family are well respected in this Region, and they had every right to be.

"The mediators for this compet.i.tion are actually from the Dawson Family." The Elder who brought Grey into the Faction whispered to the other Elders.

"Do you think he would be the one?" The black-robed Elder asked.

"I doubt that. He's not that free." The Elder shook his head.

After everyone settled down, the black-robed Elder took them into s.p.a.ce once again, transporting them to the place of the compet.i.tion.

Time went by, and a few hours later, they appeared on an open field.

On getting there, an Elder brought out an odd glowing rock, and the s.p.a.ce in front of them distorted. To Grey's surprise, there was a pa.s.sageway that led to somewhere else in the open field.

They all stepped into the pa.s.sageway and appeared close to a lake, looking behind him, all he could see was a vast mountain range.

There were already people waiting for them there.

"Huh?" Grey was a little taken aback when he saw some familiar faces.

'Isn't that the guy who opened that portal?' Void asked when he saw the middle-aged man.

'Yes.' Grey nodded.

Beside the middle-aged man was Conor, the leader of that group. He has surprisingly broken through to the Sage Plane. This wasn't much of a surprise to Grey since he expected geniuses like Conor to have no problems with breaking through.

"Late again."

A cold snort came from the side.

"It's not noon yet, so I see no reason why you're grumpy." The Elder who took Grey into the Faction replied coldly.

It was easy to see that the relations.h.i.+p between both Factions was not good.

Conor and the middle-aged man turned to look at the new arrivals.
