Affinity:Chaos
chapter-1306

While Grey and the leader of the Gnome group were fighting, the other Gnomes had moved out. The Seventh Prince, who Alice was going to handle, was the first to move out. After he left, the others left as well. The Second Prince didn't see the need in doing all this, but the fear of Grey coming to attack him while he was alone made him follow the other Peak Venerables out of the castle.

For the first time since Gnomes were in this realm, their castle for those in the Elemental Venerable Plane was empty, and it was all because of the same person that made something like this happen in the lower realm, Grey.

The fear of Grey didn't let anyone stay after the departure of the Peak Venerables, the rest left the place. A few of them even decided to head back to the Gnome world. Some of them had been in this realm for tens of years, but now, due to the fear of death, they were leaving. They couldn't be blamed, given the number of people they've confirmed dead, all under the clutches of Grey and his friends, they didn't want to be among the unfortunate people.

….

Klaus, Alice and Reynolds were scouting the castle.

"Your target is leaving, you should go after him." Klaus was the one with the highest cultivation stage, with the exception of the bunny leader, so he was the one who sensed the departure of the Seventh Prince, and he hinted it to Alice.

"Which way?" Alice asked, she didn't need to speak too much, she already knew what she was supposed to do.

Klaus pointed her in the direction, and just as she was about to leave, he stopped her and said, "Don't die out there."

"I should be the one telling you two. Compared to your opponents, I'm going to be having an easy time." Alice replied with a smile, it was nice to know that her friends cared for her well-being, but she was also annoyed by the fact that she was the weakest, which placed Klaus and Reynolds in a dangerous spot.

If Grey were the one going after them, then she wouldn't be bothered, they all know Grey's abilities, but Klaus and Reynolds were different. They excelled in individual battles, not against crowds, especially ones that had people stronger than them individually.

Klaus and Reynolds nodded their heads to assure her they would be fine before she left.

"Why didn't Grey leave Void behind?" Reynolds complained.

"He probably has something important to do." Klaus said, he closed his eyes, took in a deep breath before saying, "Let's go, they're on the move."

Reynolds took in a deep breath as well, he knew just how dangerous their mission was, so he didn't dare to slack.

Klaus and Reynolds moved out as well, heading in the direction of the group of Peak Elemental Venerables. They were both excited and scared. If they were told they would ever have to chase after Peak Elemental Venerables at their present level, they would never believe it, but here they are.

….

The Seventh Prince didn't feel there was something strange with how long it took for Grey to catch up with the man. Amongst everyone, he was the one who has had the most encounters with Grey and he felt with Grey's speed, he would be able to catch up with the man within a short time, but to his surprise, it took longer than he expected.

With the speed Grey and his friends used in leaving before the arrival of the Peak Venerables, he was confident Grey would be able to catch up to the man before leaving their scope of senses.

He decided not to dwell on the matter, all he wanted to do now was to seek aid from the Giant race, if they could offer help, he was sure the threat of Grey would be greatly reduced. Also, humans wouldn't want to anger the Giant race since they knew they couldn't fight against both races at the same time. After all, there was only one Grey. Grey might have no issues with fighting against all of them, but the other humans act like he is.

"We have to kill him." He muttered to himself.

His steps suddenly halted. Due to the fear of being noticed by Grey, he didn't dare to take to the sky while leaving, rather, he opted to walk.

He heard a rustle from the woods by the side and paused to look in that direction.

"Who's there?" He asked, not taking another step.

"Your senses are sharp, Prince."

A lady's voice came from the woods and Alice's figure walked out from the shadows.

She wanted to creep up on the Prince and attack while he wasn't on guard, unfortunately, she didn't expect his senses to be this sharp.

"It's you?" The Seventh Prince recalled Alice's face in a glance. Anyone associated with Grey wasn't someone he would forget in a short time.

Grey's face has haunted him for a long time now, and now, his friends' faces had been added to the picture.

"You're so weak, yet you dare to step forward. I see, no wonder he took so long. His plan was to get me all along." The Seventh Prince felt like he unraveled the reason Grey was slow. He was just starting to ask himself this question, and the answer came to him in such a short time.

"I think after killing you, I should make you one of my puppets just to mess with him, that should teach him not to mess around with us." The Prince said coldly, his eyes were burning with intense cold flames, he was ready to kill Alice.

"You don't have what it takes to kill me, I'm sorry to inform you." Alice wasn't bothered with the Prince's threat.

"Heh, we will see about that." The Prince snorted and a puppet appeared beside him, the puppet had the strength of a Seventh stage Elemental Venerable.

Contrary to when Grey is around, he didn't have to worry about his puppet being used against him while fighting with Alice.
