Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1030 Void's Breakthrough

Chapter 1030 Void’s Breakthrough

Grey was stunned by the news, he never thought that the Gnomes would actually bring out a death warrant for him, they didn't even want to keep him alive or even turn him into a puppet, they wanted to outright kill him.

Void couldn't help but mock Grey for his current situation. He had just managed to remove the mark, yet he was being hunted down. With his easily recognizable face, it wouldn't be hard for people to find him. What was worse was that he didn't know who was a spy and who was not, so at the moment, he was in danger of being killed by people close to him.

"Do you know who are possible spies for them?" He asked the Head of the Burchard Family.

"There are a few suspects, but we don't have any concrete evidence so we can't say for now. But everyone is aware that necromancers are one of them. Not just that, but there are also people from multiple Factions who are under their command…" The Head of the Burchard Family explained to Grey.

Normally, a Sage Plane Elementalist didn't have the right to know of these, but given Grey's position, and also being the son of someone as powerful as Lucas, there was no need in hiding it from him, besides, his life was also in danger.

Grey listened attentively and his expression changed slightly when he heard of a familiar Faction, the Nether Faction. Being a Darkness Elemental Faction, and given their horrible behavior, it was quite easy to suspect them. It would be dangerous if the Gnomes managed to build such a powerful and large Faction.

'd.a.m.n it, when I thought I would be free.' He complained internally.

Once again, he wouldn't be able to travel freely for the fear of being hunted down.

"Thank you for telling me this, I won't be staying long." Grey bowed to show his appreciation, but he was not going to stay here. Someone like him could never be idle.

The Head of the Burchard Family shook his head with a sigh, he knew Grey would never want to stay there.

"Alright, I'll send someone to escort you till you get to the teleportation array." He said.

As long as Grey didn't die within their territory, it was fine. If Grey were to die here, Lucas would definitely turn the place upside down.

'I believe he already knows of this, he should rush over to help him.' He thought to himself.

Grey left the city in no time and before he knew it, he was already thousands of kilometers away from the city.

Being transported by an expert above the Elemental Venerable Plane was faster than when he was moving on his own.

The scenery changed and sometime later, Grey was already close to the edge of the Middle Continent, about to head back to the Western Continent.

….

"Take care of yourself, and try to stay out of crowded places." The man who escorted him till the end of the Middle Continent advised before heading back.

Grey nodded before walking away, there was no need to stay there any longer. His next stop was the Dawson Family compound. As much as he would want to go back to the Faction, he knew that with his Father being the one known as the strongest, he would be safer there for now.

He didn't have any plans of staying there for too long, he only wanted to tell his Father the current situation before heading back to the Faction.

"Void, looks like you'll have to break through now. It's too dangerous to hold back now." He turned his attention to Void.

Getting stronger was their best bet now. He couldn't break through in a short time, so he had to rely on Void if he wanted protection.

Void was stronger than most geniuses in the same stage, so they shouldn't have any issues with those in the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane, only those in the Mid stages and above would pose a threat to them, but it didn't mean they would be able to defeat him easily.

"Hehe, I'll train you once I've broken through so that you can get used to the strength of an Elemental Venerable." Void said with a mischievous smile.

Grey knew Void's plan, but he didn't try to stop him. It would be nice for him to test the strength of those Elemental Venerables to make sure he was acquainted with the strength. Void was stronger than others, so it would make things better.

They soon found a good location, after Grey set up multiple arrays, Void began his breakthrough, he had been holding himself back, so now that the opportunity was presented to him, he didn't delay.

Within a few seconds, Void's appearance soon started to change, from his usual small size, his body grew larger, and his dark fur started to sprout a few golden spots on it. It was mesmerizing.

Grey watched on as Void's aura started to shoot up.

A light shot from the sky with a flash and entered Void's head, his aura started to see a change. He spat out his cores and they all started to absorb essence at a crazy pace, while doing this, they were also forming the link with each element's origin source. Grey could literally see the cores forming some sort of tentacle that started to search for something, before long, as if it was connected to something, the tentacles stopped moving and ma.s.sive energy started to rush into the cores.

The speed was faster than it previously was.

Grey watched the scene attentively, he knew that although Magical Beasts were different from humans, there wasn't much difference when they were breaking through.

Some time pa.s.sed and Void's size returned to its previous state, even the golden spots disappeared, it was as if they never appeared.

Grey was watching Void curiously, trying to figure out what was different with him.

"Hey, how do you feel?" He couldn't help but ask when Void kept his eyes closed.

"I feel great! Haha!" Void laughed in delight as he opened his eyes.

His eyes, which were usually pitch black had a faint golden glow in them. The glow would appear and disappear, only after some time did it stop.

"Haha, I'm the king!" Void declared.

"You only broke through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, there's no need to be too excited over it." Grey said with dark lines on his face.

"What do you know? Do you think I'm a regular Seventh Rank Magical Beast?" Void chided, his head held up high with pride.

Grey felt a bit of a headache and decided to stop answering him. Void was like Klaus, very proud and arrogant, the more he tried to want to know what he was feeling, the more arrogance Void would display, so it was best to leave him alone, maybe he would finally come to his senses after being ignored.

Just as Grey expected, after not bothering him and focusing on himself, Void soon got bored of showing off. Well, since there was no one to show off to, it was a waste of his time.

Grey scoffed as he looked at Void, "Ready to talk now?"

"You're no fun." Void said grumpily.

Grey couldn't be bothered with him as he asked the important question, "What innate skill did you awaken?"

He was quite curious. There was a possibility that the change in Void's appearance had to do with the awakening of his innate skill. Of course he wasn't a hundred percent certain of this, it was just his speculation.

"It's nothing serious." Void said with a dull look.

"Seriously?" Grey was taken aback, "Show me."

Void nodded and did as he said. Grey's vision soon changed and it was like he was thrown into boundless s.p.a.ce, this time, there were stars. These stars were golden spots that were shining brightly. With curiosity in his heart, he stretched his hand forward, trying to touch one of them.

"Don't!" Void exclaimed and hastily withdrew the skill.

"What?" Grey was alarmed.

Void's reaction was unusual, could something be wrong with the golden spots?

"I don't know if you can handle the impact of the attack." Void said.

"Those golden spots are attacks?" Grey was stunned. He didn't sense a single aura from the golden spots. Naturally, he knew they were not for fancy, but he didn't really think they would be dangerous, after all, there were hundreds of them in there.

"Yeah." Void nodded his head.

"Impressive, I'd like to test it out though." Grey said.

He was confident in his abilities, so even if the attack was dangerous, there was no way it would be able to kill him.

"No, you will see it when I use it against someone else." Void refused.

"What are you being agitated over, it's just an attack. Is it stronger than that Gnome race's genius' attack?" Grey felt like Void was looking down on him and asked, a little irritated.

"Probably."
