Affinity:Chaos



Grey and Void went deep into the forest. On the way there, they saw someone from the Lanark Faction, but the person let them through. There was no way an Overlord Plane Elementalist could stop them. It's not that they couldn't secretly enter, but they couldn't. There was a large array across this entire part of the forest and there was only one spot open. Even Grey didn't have the confidence of creating an opening without the creator of the array finding out, so he went through the normal place. 

Since he didn't want to provoke the Lanark Faction any further, he decided to make sure the young lady guarding the gates into the place was aware of him entering the place. 

The only thing she said to him was not to kill the low Ranking Magical Beasts since they were what the Faction uses in training their members on some occasions. 

Grey didn't have any plans of killing anything when he came here, so he had no problems with that. All he wanted was a secluded place to train. 

After entering the forest, he ventured deep into it. With his current flight speed, it didn't take long for him to fly over a thousand kilometers. He got to the area where there were only Rank Seven Magical Beasts, found a lair belonging to one of the few close to the Peak, and with a little effort, he chased it away. He didn't care what it would do after leaving, and truthfully, he didn't care much. 

With a cave all to himself, he started his training once again. Before leaving the Dawson Family, he only recently got the idea of trying to merge his golden energy with the origin source. There was no need rushing to use the pill when he didn't have to. There's a good chance that he might be able to locate it without the pill and this pill might be of use to anyone from the Dawson Family or Pyrmond Faction. 

…. 

Later that night. 

Grey was seated down cross-legged in the cave with his eyes tightly closed. He had been like for over six hours now and no result. 

He still hadn't been able to locate the origin source and he was contemplating if he should use the pill or not. 

They would be leaving once it's dawn, and if he is still unable to locate it, then he would have to travel without merging them. 

He opened his eyes and looked at Void who was sleeping on the side. The bunny leader was also out, but it was exploring the area, ensuring that Grey trained without any disturbance. It might not like fighting, but like Void, it had a high cultivation stage and could easily frighten those beasts below it. 

It wanted to build a large bunny army, just like the one Grey had been chased by on several occasions. With its space element, it could keep them in spatial storage and bring them out. With their current strength, it knew that it needed a bunny with the strength of at least the Mid stages of the Seventh Rank. Coming here, it decided to search the area for any potential bunnies in that range. 

Locating the bunnies was something very easy for it. In the space of the six hours Grey had been training, it had seen over a hundred bunnies, and only five of them met the requirements. 

It kept all of them inside his spatial storage and continued recruiting throughout the night. 

Grey finally decided not to use the pill since it was more useful for others and he hadn't tried enough. Only when he was certain that he wouldn't be able to locate the origin source will he use the pill, but for now, he would keep trying and see if he would be lucky. 

The bunny leader managed to recruit two more bunnies to its bunny empire. Now, it truly befitted the name, the bunny leader. With his new growing army, it would be able to terrorize the life of others, just like he did to Grey, but in this case, he would be doing it for Grey, and not to him. 

Grey had no knowledge of the bunny leader creating its mini-empire, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. 

….

The next morning. 

Grey went straight to the City and met up with Klaus and Luthera, who had grouped up with the person her father sent over to find out what happened. 

Klaus said his goodbyes to her and the duo started their journey. If they decided to travel nonstop, they would get there within two days. But traveling through space was not something that should be done on a constant basis. It was okay if one went through a long spatial tunnel thrice or four times a day, but once it starts to go above that, it would start to affect the body. Only those above the Elemental Venerable Plane don't have any issues with this. They could use spatial tunnels almost unendingly. 

"Where's the target?" Klaus asked. 

"We're heading to the borders of the Continent, close to the Middle Continent. There's a meeting there we're supposed to crash. According to my father, it would best we get there after it has started." Grey explained. 

"Nice, that's what I like." Klaus laughed. 

"That's why I called you over. You already know your task." Grey looked at the teleportation array before them. 

Klaus nodded, he was raring to go. He hadn't been able to annoy people that were well stronger than him and had always offended those in the same stage as himself. Now that a great opportunity presented itself before him, he didn't want to miss it. 

Luthera left the duo with her companion and headed back to the Braun Family, expecting the arrival of the envoy from the Lanark Faction. 

Grey and Klaus walked into the teleportation array and a bright light enveloped the duo. When the light faded, the duo were gone.
