Affinity:Chaos



Grey took a look around, since others would be coming soon, he didn't need to leave, what he started to do was to create a few chaos orbs, while also creating a large array he wanted to use to seal the area, making sure the noise from the battle wouldn't alert too many people. 

He still had to be wary of the Giant race. The only reason he was this carefree about the Gnomes was that he had their weakness on the palm of his hands, so they couldn't fight with their full strength. If the Giant race were to start helping them out, it would be catastrophic for the humans in there. His group wouldn't have any problems with dealing with the Giants, but the others would be in so much danger.

"How come we haven't seen any of those people from the Giant race you spoke of?" Klaus asked while getting ready for the upcoming slaughter. 

Grey spoke of another race being dominant here, and even though they had spent more than half a day here, other than Gnomes, they hadn't seen any other foreign race. 

"It's best we stay out of their way. I don't think they would condone being threatened. We are already enemies with the Gnomes, adding the Giants to it wouldn't be a wise choice." Grey said. 

"Who said I wanted to make them enemies?" Klaus looked at Grey oddly, he then added, "I'm just curious about them, that's all." 

Grey took a glance at Klaus, not wanting to believe his words. Klaus was a certified troublemaker, and he didn't want anything that would cause more trouble for these people that are present in the secret realm. He already felt bad that because of him more of those who ventured inside faced an infuriated Gnome race, the Giant race was still out of their way, and that was something he wanted to stay that way. 

"If only we could seal the other two portals." He sighed. 

He did attempt to seal the portal of the Gnomes, but to his shock, no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to and with a simple push from the other side, his seal was broken. It was something he didn't have too much of a high hope for anyway, so he wasn't too disappointed. 

"Come on, let's get ready." 

….

While Grey and his group were causing a commotion in the secret realm, drawing all the attention to them, a few people were moving carefreely in the secret space. 

The son of the Burchard Family Head, as well as the young lady who was the student of the number one Faction Leader. 

"Are you telling me just four people took away all the Gnomes?" The young lady couldn't believe her eyes.

The son of the Burchard Family Head gave a wry smile, "I know it's hard to believe, but yes. Actually, the Gnomes are more focused on a certain individual, Grey Dawson."

"I believe you've heard of him."

"Hmm, the one that has the kill order on his head?" The young lady asked after some thought. 

"Yes, that one." The son of the Burchard Family Head nodded, he started to explain what happened during the last time Grey was in this secret realm. 

Obviously, he didn't have all the details since only Grey and the Gnomes knew all that transpired, but a few did know a few things, and even heard of how Elemental Venerable risked getting killed by the force just to take Grey's life. No one knew if they were able to find Grey, but it was clear that they were unsuccessful in taking his life. 

The young lady was marveled by Grey's words, not sure of what to say about such a daring figure. 

"But I still find it strange that we're given such free reign to move as we like. I recall how difficult it was to even locate the place, much less attempt to take it." The young lady sighed. 

She was in the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, younger than Grey and his group, and was highly valued by the number one Faction Leader. She was a Multi Elementalist, with very high elemental grades. 

From young, she had been taken into the number one Faction and groomed by its Leader. 

There were a few rumors which stated that she was the daughter of the late Faction Leader, hence her high status, but there was no way to verify that claim and the present Faction Leader hasn't spoken a word on where he found her.

The son of the Burchard Family Head didn't speak much, he decided to focus on their mission. They were lucky Grey came at the time he did, and with his help, they would be able to get what they needed without having to face too many dangers. He knew Grey wouldn't make the entire realm completely danger-free, but at least drawing most of the attention to himself was enough for the others to be safer. 

….

Grey had no idea what was going on in other places of the secret realm, at the moment, he was more concerned about the people standing in front of him. This group numbered over fifteen, something that was out of his expectations, and five of them were already in the Late stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

'Void, you will help out this time, I don't think we can do this alone. Well, unless they foolishly bring out their puppets.' 

Of the fifteen people present, none of them knew Grey. 

"Are you the group killing our people?" One of the Late stage Elemental Venerables asked. 

This person was a lady who looked well over thirty, she was in the Eighth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

"Will you believe me if I say no?" Klaus asked with a friendly smile. In front of him lay a Gnome's corpse. 

Grey didn't even know when and how Klaus managed to obtain the body of a Gnome. 

Seeing the corpse in front of Klaus, the lady got the answer to her question.
