Affinity:Chaos
1076 Necromancers, Again
Aelia who was walking with them couldn't help but feel shocked.
Grey was more amazing than how Ellis described him. He was carefree, but from his words, it was easy to see that he was a ruthless and cunning character as well. Not just that, but his father was none other than the legendary Lucas Dawson. Who didn't know of Lucas Dawson? Literally no one! Unless they had been staying in a cave for over a hundred years.
"I've been staying in the Faction for a while, I need to see if I've improved in my abilities." Grey commented casually.
"Why did you stay in the Faction? You have a top Family who are strong and can groom you." Ellis was confused.
Take him for example, with the strength of his Family, they weren't necessarily any weaker than these top Factions, much less one that was on the decline. The Dawson Family was stronger than the Pyrmond Faction, so why would Grey want to join the Pyrmond Faction? It just didn't make sense.
"Remember I was searching for my parents? I really didn't expect that they were from that Dawson Family. A lot of people had confused me for someone from that Dawson Family, but I've always said I'm not." Grey explained.
"I see." Ellis nodded.
Looks like only after joining the Pyrmond Faction did he find his parents. And after being independent for so long, he wouldn't be comfortable in the Dawson Family.
….
Three days later.
Boom!
A figure fell on the ground, dead.
"Trash." Grey muttered in disappointment before turning around.
A group had been kidnapping some people lately. He took the mission and found out that the leader was just in the Mid stages of the Sage Plane. He didn't even use much of his strength and the man died instantly.
Grey turned to look at the others, since the leader was dead, then the group could be said to be destroyed.
He didn't waste any time and handed the others to the guards in the nearest city.
"We should head to the next place. Luckily, I picked places that are close. We'll meet up with Void after I'm done with the missions." Grey sighed.
From the looks of it, there would be nothing exciting in this trip.
Ellis' mouth was twitching as he saw how Grey casually dealt with the man. Even though Grey had a higher stage, it didn't mean that he should be able to kill the other party with nothing more than a casual attack. He knew Grey was stronger than most of the people in the same stage, but he felt that would've reduced after Grey broke through to the Sage Plane, who would've thought that it didn't change much.
Aelie on the other hand was stunned. He couldn't believe that Grey was this strong. She was close to the Late stages of the Sage Plane, but she was still in the Sixth stage. This meant that Grey would still be able to casually kill her as well.
Ellis and Aelie followed Grey and before their shocked gazes, he killed Sage Plane Elementalists like he was killing chickens. None of them could fight back, the difference in strength was beyond their expectations.
Even during the last mission, Grey was fighting against two Peak Sage Plane Elementalists and overpowered them. He killed them in a short time after that.
….
'Void, where are you?' Grey asked.
'Underground.' Void replied.
Grey currently had the tracking device with him and noticed they were in the same place, but he couldn't see the others.
'Is there a passage around?' Grey asked.
He didn't see the place leading to this place.
'Just teleport here, why are you searching for a passage?' Void said disdainfully.
Grey was a little embarrassed, but he grabbed Ellis and Aelie and vanished. They soon appeared underground.
"Keith, what's the situation?" Grey asked when he appeared.
"There's an array blocking the entrance. It took us a long time to track it. But Void can't open it." Keith said.
Void glared at him with an annoyed expression.
'Why didn't you open it yourself?' He thought, irritated.
Grey looked at the array for some time before frowning.
"Even you can't open it?" Keith was a little surprised.
He knew how obsessed Grey was with arrays. Even Ellis was surprised.
"Who says I can't, I'm just staring at it for some time." Grey walked closer to it, after observing it a while longer he opened his mouth, "It's a decoy, this array doesn't lead anywhere."
After saying this, Grey tapped on the array before making some hand seals. The array broke apart and they saw the empty wall.
Grey made another hand seal and the array appeared again.
"What are you doing?" Ellis asked curiously.
"Once this array is broken, they will sense it. It's connected to another array. That's the real one. If I didn't sense it on time, we would've messed up." Grey said.
The others couldn't help but sigh. Grey truly was an array genius. Even some of the old grandmasters might not necessarily be better than him.
Grey's expression soon changed, "Crap!"
With that, he grabbed Ellis and Aelie and vanished.
Void reacted even faster and disappeared with Keith.
"F*ck! I thought you said you stopped it?" Void cursed when they appeared outside.
"I was a little late. I didn't sense it early." Grey rubbed his nose.
He was a tad late, but at least he still sensed it.
"What now? They'll escape." Keith was a little anxious.
This misison had taken a lot from him, so he knew he had to make sure that he completed it, unless he would've wasted his time.
"Don't worry, I sensed them. I can track them." Ellis said.
Grey and Void turned to Ellis.
Ellis looked at Void for a while.
"You can?" Keith turned to Ellis.
Ellis turned his voice to a deeper one since he couldn't speak with his usual voice, it was a bit embarrassing.
"Yeah, let's go." Ellis nodded and heading towards the west.
Grey and Void followed suit, seeing that he was going in a slow speed, they urged, "You can move faster, you don't have to worry about us. We'll catch up."
After hearing this, Ellis sped up and soon vanished.
Void followed suit, before Grey disappeared as well. He would appear in front of Ellis each time, shocking him.
'How's he so fast?' He thought.
Most Elemental Venerables in the same stage as himself wouldn't be able to catch up to him, yet Grey was doing it with such ease.
Unknown to him, Grey marked him the last time. Since the distance was not too great, he would be able to catch up to him within a second.
After almost one hour.
They stopped in front of a mountain.
Looking at the mountain, Grey's expression changed slightly.
"Do you sense it?" He turned to the others.
They shook their heads.
"Necromancers." He uttered slowly.
"Necromancers?"
"Yes, necromancers. Even though I can't sense it clearly, I'm sure of it." Grey affirmed.
"Do you know if there are any strong people?" Ellis asked, his expression was serious.
If there were necromancers here, then they couldn't take the risk of heading inside. Or else they would endanger themselves.
"There's a large array here. Void, I can open up a small hole so you can sneak in. But I'll close it immediately so they won't sense anything." Grey turned to Void.
Void could easily hide his aura just like Grey, so it would be easy for him to sneak in.
Void nodded and Grey went to work.
Before Grey came in contact with necromancers, he didn't even know of them. After he was marked, he was consoled by Sylvia who said necromancers were quite rare and rarely made moves. But since then, he had been seeing necromancers multiple times.
It was shocking how many times he has come in contact with them.
After opening the hole, Void sneaked in. Some seconds later he reported.
'Four Elemental Venerables, six Peak Sage Plane Elementalists, and multiple in the Late and Mid stages.'
Grey turned to Ellis and reported the news to them.
When they heard of how many people were there, they felt a bit dispirited.
"How many can you handle?" Grey asked.
Ellis replied, "I don't know their stages…"
"Of the Four, two are in the Fifth stage, that's their highest stage. The others are in Second stage. Void can deal with them." Grey interrupted.
"I'll deal with all the Peak Sage Plane Elementalists and the others in the Late stages. I can also assist Keith and Aelie while they fight against the others." He added.
When Aelie heard Grey's words, she was stunned.
Grey wanted to hold off over twenty people alone, that was shocking. Keith wasn't too surprised, nor was Ellis. But Aelie didn't know much about Grey, so she didn't know if he could do something like that.
"Alright, let's go. I'll be able to hold them off." Ellis replied.
Keith gritted his teeth and nodded.
Now they all turned to Aelie, if she didn't agree to it, they would leave her here and go and fight without her. It wouldn't change much even if she disagreed.
