Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1079 A Plot

Chapter 1079 A Plot

In a secret hideout.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man frowned after receiving news of one of their camps getting attacked by Grey, someone who the Gnomes released a death order for.

"Necromancer's nemesis, no wonder the Gnomes attached so much importance to him." He said after some time.

"What do we do now?" Another person asked.

Although some necromancers are strong on their own, most of them depended on their puppets to grow and fight. If they can't even use their puppets any longer, then they would be in trouble.

"No need to worry too much. We just need to know the method he uses to cut off the link. Once we can get it, we can deal with him." The middle-aged man replied calmly.

"The problem here is that we don't know the method, and other than the Gnomes who survived, the others he has faced have not been able to survive. How are we going to fight against something we know nothing about?" The other person said.

"Hmm, troublesome. We can't go out in full force since that would expose our whereabouts. I'll get someone to test him. He's from the Pyrmond Faction right?" The middle-aged man asked.

The person standing beside him nodded.

"Looks like we'll have to use one of our spies." The middle-aged man said.

"He doesn't make friends easily." The person beside the man understood what he wanted to do and said.

The fact that they knew of Grey's personality already shows how much research they've done on him.

"That will be a problem. We'll think of a way to sort it out. If not, we'll have to sacrifice a few more people." The middle-aged man was calm.

The only good thing about Grey's current ability was that he was the only one who could use it, so they didn't have to worry too much about it.

"If we can kill him it'll be better. But I don't think it will be easy to kill the son of Lucas and Martha. If he were to die in the hands of someone in the same stage, it'll be possible, but who can defeat him in the same stage?" The middle-aged man contemplated.

They also knew that Grey was Lucas' son. Being the son of such a powerhouse, if anyone that was far stronger than him were to attack him, then there will definitely be something or someone who will be protecting him. The main problem with Grey now was that he can forcefully raise his stage to shocking levels, that makes it even harder to kill him in a fight if the person fighting against him didn't completely overwhelm him.

"We can try to impersonate one of his friends." The person beside the man suggested.

"Hmm, we can try." The middle-aged man nodded.

If things don't go as planned, then he wouldn't mind sacrificing an Elemental Venerable or even Sovereign to kill Grey. If Grey was allowed to grow, it would put them in danger. This wasn't something they wanted.

The fact that he was already attacking a necromancer's camp already shows that he has some sort of hatred toward them. The Gnomes handed out a death order for him, maybe it's time they took it seriously.

They didn't take it too seriously since they didn't really believe it, and neither had they been able to confirm it. Although the Gnomes seemed like their leaders, that was not the case, they are just working together for mutual benefit.

….

While these people were thinking of how to deal with Grey, Grey just killed the last person on the Sage Plane.

Void and Ellis had also fully suppressed their opponents.

When Grey wanted to help, Void chased him away, telling him to search the rubbles, there was someone still alive.

The mountain had been destroyed by their battle, even the large array couldn't protect it.

Grey grumpily went back to check it out. To his surprise, there truly was someone, not just one person, but a few people. They seemed to be protecting one person.

'He's communicating with the higher-ups?' Grey looked at them curiously.

"Hmph! Hateful!" Grey attacked.

Before long, they were all dead. Unfortunately, the second the person communicating with the higher-ups died, the device fell apart as well.?????e??o?el. ?om

Grey figured out that it was connected to the life force of the person. As long as this person's life force was extinguished, then the communication device would be destroyed.

He didn't think too much about it. By the time he was done, Ellis and Void had already killed their opponents.

"Nice, it's been a while since I fought such a battle." Ellis sighed.

He rarely got to fight such battles. Most of the time, he was always only sparring with geniuses of his level. Of course, he knew that they were stronger than these people on the same stage, but these people were regular fighters, so they were more experienced.

Although they won, they were all injured. Aelie was the one who suffered more injuries, she wasn't familiar with such battles, fighting against people who risked their lives, and she was caught off-guard most of the time and suffered injuries. But she managed to survive, largely thanks to Grey's timely help and her strength.

"We really won, against such a large group, we won." She said in disbelief.

It's not that she didn't believe she can't fight against multiple opponents, but the number of people they were fighting against was staggering. The fact that they won such a battle with only some not too severe injuries was beyond her expectations.

Grey chuckled and said, "Of course, if I don't have confidence, I wouldn't have started a battle."

"My mission can be said to be accomplished. I'll have to tell those people in the mission hall that there was more to the mission than what was written." Keith said angrily.

If not for Grey and Ellis' help, they wouldn't have been able to complete the mission. Void was strong, but against such a large group, all they could do was run away.

Grey nodded before turning around. His control over his strength had increased, this not only made him stronger, but he could also maximize his energy when fighting.

This was something only top notch experts could do. He was naturally nowhere near the level of his father, but he still had a lot of time to continue improving, so he wasn't worried.
