Affinity: Chaos Chapter 343: Oh, Crap!

Chapter 343: Oh, c.r.a.p!

Grey soon appeared in a hallway, with the help of the s.p.a.ce element, his aura was perfectly hidden. Added with the black clothes he was currently wearing, it was almost impossible to see him in the dark hallway.

He followed the light until he stopped in front of one of the rooms.

‘Here,’

Without further delay, he vanished from the hallway.

In the room.

Reynolds could be seen sprawling on the bed, fast asleep. His mouth was slightly open, and drool could be seen coming out of it from the moonlight that was shining through the window.

When Grey appeared in the room, he almost wanted to punch Reynolds in the face.

‘Really?’ He asked before using the wind element to raise the bed sheet, placing it on Reynolds’ body.

When Grey appeared in the room, Reynolds was sleeping, b.u.t.t naked.

On feeling the bed sheet touching his body, Reynolds opened his eyes, albeit lazily.

His lazy expression disappeared when he caught a glimpse of the human shadow in front of him. He hastily stood up on the bed, throwing away the bed sheet in the process.

Grey’s mouth twitched repeatedly before he facepalmed.

“What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?” He asked quietly.

“Huh? Grey?” Reynolds narrowed his eyes to a slit, trying to get a better view of the shadow.

Grey stepped closer to the window, allowing the moonlight to shine on his face.

“Buddy, it’s you!” Reynolds exclaimed before jumping towards him with open arms.

Grey’s eyes twitched uncontrollably before he punched Reynolds on the head as he got close to him.

“What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?” Grey asked again, exasperated.

“Ouch! f.u.c.k you, Grey! Do you want to kill me?!” Reynolds shouted before jumping to his feet while cursing at Grey in an exaggerated manner.

His sudden exaggerated movement annoyed Grey even more.

“Rey, put on some clothes,” Grey said with a long face.

“What do you…”Reynolds paused mid-sentence and looked down, “Oh, c.r.a.p!”

“So… what are you doing here?” He asked, walking leisurely towards where his clothes were kept.

“You… *Sigh* I’ve completed the communication device, Alice already has one, I came to give you another,” Grey looked at him, he was too tired to complain about the nonchalant nature of his current appearance.

“Oh, that’s great! Quick, give it to me, let me talk to her,” Reynolds ran back to him, without even putting on anything.

Bam!

Grey punched him on the head once again, this time, a little harder.

“Ouch! Ouch! d.a.m.n you!” Reynolds shouted, but quickly turned around to wear his clothes.

Some minutes later.

“Don’t try to contact her now, she might be sleeping,” Grey said when he noticed Reynolds was trying to speak to Alice after he explained how the device worked to him.

“Oh, I forgot. I was eager to talk to her,” Reynolds scratched his head while chuckling.

“What are you doing here?” Grey asked.

From how carefree Reynolds looked and acted, it was easy to see that he wasn’t under any danger.

“After you left, I decided to leave Eternal City…” Reynolds told him all about what he encountered after they separated.

According to him, he traveled for a few weeks, before coming across a caravan in a forest. The merchants were being attacked, and the mercenaries protecting them were already severely injured.

At first, Reynolds didn’t want to help, but after seeing a little girl who ran to the front of a young man, trying to protect him from one of the beasts attacking, he couldn’t sit still any longer.

The beasts were all in the Early stages of the Origin Plane. Even though he hadn’t broken through to the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane, he had no issues with fighting against these beasts.

With the help of the injured mercenaries, he was able to quickly make do of the eight magical beasts.

After helping them, he found out that the young man and the little girl were the children of one of the founding merchants of the guild. He followed them here and got to hear the rumor of the lightning tree.

Being a Lightning Elementalist, he naturally wanted to see if he could acquire it. With the help of that, he would not only advance in his stage, but his Elemental Warrior would grow stronger.

“How are you so sure the rumor is accurate?” Grey asked after hearing his story.

“Well, I’m not too sure about it. But from what I heard, the source is very accurate,” Reynolds explained.

He asked the people from the guild, and they said the source was accurate.

“Hmm, so you’ll be joining in on the expenditure?” Grey asked.

“Yes, I wasn’t too confident all this time, but with you and Void here, as long as an Overlord Plane expert doesn’t appear, then that tree is mine,” Reynolds said confidently, smacking Grey’s shoulder.

“You…”

“Wait, where’s Void?” Reynolds cut Grey short while looking around, trying to find Void.

He initially thought that Void was in the room, but since he was black, he couldn’t find him.

“Void is…”

“Also, how did you sneak into my room without anyone, or me finding out?” Reynolds cut him short again.

“There are…” He was about to continue speaking, but when he looked at Grey’s expression, he hastily shut his mouth to allow him to speak.

“Void is injured,” Grey brought Void out of the spatial ring to show Reynolds.

He went on to tell him how his greed caused Void’s injury.

“He’ll be fine, I believe we’ll be able to find the treasure,” Reynolds said decisively.

“Yeah, I hope so,” Grey said with a sad look on his face.

“Can I come with you to the magical beast forest?” Reynolds suddenly asked.

When he first came in contact with Void, he wasn’t too close with him, after all, only Grey could talk to him. But after he saw Void taking that attack for Grey, his impression of him shot up to a high level.

Now he didn’t see him as a magical beast, rather, he saw him as a friend.

“No, I’ll go alone,” Grey shook his head.

He knew Reynolds wanted to help, but he didn’t plan to put him in danger. The magical beast forest was not like the trial land where the stage of the highest magical beast was the Peak of the Origin Plane.

In the magical beast forest, there are countless magical beasts in the Overlord Plane.
