Affinity:Chaos
Chapter 549 - Suyin Canyon
Grey and Ellis stayed in the forest, talking about their experiences. Well, it was mainly Ellis who did the talking while Grey listened.
He found out about Ellis' father's health, and how the elders had been trying to get rid of him.
"How come he hasn't been healed yet, don't you guys have better healing tonics?" Grey couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing worked, we still don't understand what's happening to him. I do not think it's something physical, if my guess is right, it has to do with a foreign essence that invaded his body some time back," Ellis replied.
"Your guess?" Grey raised a brow.
"Alright fine, the Grand Elder brought some people who did a thorough check-up. According to what was found, a foreign essence is causing havoc in his body. They've tried everything they could, but to no avail," Ellis said truthfully.
"Hmm, is there a way I can see him?" Grey suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
Ellis placed his hand on his chin, "Difficult, but I can try. But I can't guarantee we will be given such a chance,"
"Even if it's only a few minutes," Grey tried persuading.
Since it has to do with a foreign essence invading Ellis' father's body, then he might be able to help with the chaos orb that's inside him. It seems to have a special power against other essences. The only thing that got him thinking is that he had never been able to control it, which means he wasn't sure it would be able to help. Nevertheless, it was worth trying.
"I'll try," Ellis replied, he suddenly paused, as if finally realizing what Grey was getting at before asking in shock, "Wait, there's a way you can help?"
"Technically, it should be able to help, but I'm not too sure yet. We'll have to wait until then," Grey replied honestly.
He couldn't lie to Ellis, after all, this had to do with his father's life.
"If truly you can help, I'll be forever grateful," Ellis said seriously.
"It's nothing, I'm only helping out a friend. And, we still haven't been able to confirm it yet, so no need for all this," Grey patted Ellis on his right shoulder.
Ellis nodded, before turning around.
"So, where are we headed?" Grey asked.
Ellis was on a mission before he stopped him, since he's already here, he would naturally follow him on the mission.
"I'm heading over to clear out a group of bandits from the canyons. They aren't too powerful, but their numbers will surely be a bother." Ellis explained, he looked at Grey before adding, "If only you had broken through to the Overlord Plane, then you would've been of some use,"
"Void can help, so there's no need to worry too much," Grey didn't find his words offensive.
Other than Void, no one else knew the current extent of his strength. He rarely got into battles since being attacked by that young man who was after Sylvia.
"Alright, let's get going then," Ellis nodded, before taking the duo with him.
He briefed them about the canyon, as well as the bandits. The leader was in the Sage Plane, just like Ellis.
Grey had always had the notion that Ellis wasn't in the Overlord Plane, and finding out from his mouth was still a little shocking. Even his Teacher wasn't in the Sage Plane. Just how powerful are those at the peak of this world?
The rest of the members were Origin and Overlord Plane Elementalists. Most of them were around the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane.
There were around over one hundred people in this group, and for a single person to take all of them on wasn't going to be easy. If Ellis manages to instantly kill the leader, then it would all be settled, but if not, he would find it difficult with all the disturbance the others can cause.
….
Suyin Canyon.
"Alright, according to reports, the bandit group stays around here. All we need to do is find their hideout before…"
"Found it," Void interrupted Ellis' speech.
"What did you find?" Ellis asked.
"The bandit's hideout, you were speaking of locating it, well, I have," Void replied proudly.
Ellis was a little short of words, never expecting that they would be able to find the hideout so quickly. What he found more surprising was how quickly it took for Void to locate them.
He secretly tried to see if he could sense anything, but he found nothing. He couldn't help but look at Void doubtfully.
"You don't have to worry about it, he's always right when it comes to things like this, just follow his lead," Grey reassured when he saw Ellis' doubtful expression.
Void was about to complain when he noticed Ellis was doubting his skills, but Grey already knowing Void's personality, closed his mouth, making sure he didn't make a sound. This didn't stop Void from trying though, leaving a series of muffled noises.
A few minutes later.
"Which way?" Ellis asked.
"Right," Void replied, still a little sulky.
Ellis nodded, before heading towards the right path in the canyon. The canyon was a series of maze-like paths, this was why it has always been hard to deal with these bandits. They've been accustomed to the road here, so escaping has always been easy for them whenever they're cornered.
"Do the items we find there belong to us?" Grey asked, since they were going to clear out a bandit hideout, there are bound to be treasures.
"Of course! Whatever we find is ours," Ellis replied, before turning to ask Void for directions once again.
They continued heading deeper into the canyon while going in the northwest direction. This was the area Void said the bandits were located. As they headed deeper into the canyon, Ellis found it hard to believe that Void's senses could spread this far. It wasn't his fault though, since entering the canyon, they've already walked over one kilometer, and still haven't located the bandits.
This distance was one thing while being able to sense the bandits even with the caution they took was another.
'This cat truly is different,' He recalled the words Grey said while they were still in the forest.
