Affinity:Chaos
chapter-837

Grey and Keith decided to work out a plan, Void brought the idea of beating them up in the Faction, but Grey and Keith were against it mainly because of the fact that conflict was forbidden in the Faction grounds. There are places where they spar, but the Faction ensures that no one dies from these.

After coming up with multiple plans, the best option they could come up with was simple: Keith would head out for a mission, and Void would go along, accompanied by the two-headed snake. Once they were outside, the snake would kill them.

Keith thought it was a good plan, so did Void. Although he was a little downcast that he didn't get the chance to kill them, he was happy as long as they were dead.

Grey wanted to go back for his array class, unfortunately, it was over. He couldn't help but curse at the trio who attacked Keith. When thinking about it, he suddenly recalled the young lady who sent people after him. He managed to get the location of where she stays from the men she sent after her.

She was from a mid level family, and the strongest person from her family was in an Elemental Venerable. Now Grey understood why she could only send Overlord Plane Elementalists after him. She must've had a lot of potential, hence the family agreed to this. Unfortunately, they miscalculated.

Grey decided to make more communication devices and handed them over to the triplet. He sent them out to gather information about the young lady. When next he was traveling, he didn't mind paying her a visit. Well, if it was along the path he's taking, then he would, if not, then he would focus on his mission.

He also gave one to Keith, this way they could speak more frequently whenever they were not in the Faction. Although Grey doesn't use his often, it's still better than not speaking at all.

Bringing out his tracking device, he looked at the light dots before fixing his gaze on one that was further away from the rest.

'I wonder how he's doing?' He thought as he stared at Ellis' light dot.

Since going back to the Azure Continent, he hadn't been in contact with Ellis. Even after coming back, he still couldn't get to him. The distance between them was massive, so it was natural.

After going back, he checked up on Keith before going back to his place to focus on his arrays. He knew as long as he continued trying, there's a chance that he might just come up with a good idea to help seal the mark on him.

Three days later.

Keith was back to normal, and he took up another mission. Grey originally wanted to accompany him since he was bored, but thinking about the fact that the young man leading them would retreat once he saw him, he decided against it.

Void on the other hand was very enthusiastic about the mission. He had been bored for some time now. Other than when he played with the snake, he hadn't been able to have any fun. He preferred when they were traveling.

Keith took up the mission and left the Faction as planned. Void was with him the whole time.

When they got to a forest some kilometers away from the Faction, the trio stepped out once again. This time, there was a man with them.

'Sage Plane.' Void noticed the Plane of the man the moment he appeared.

The man was in the Early stages of the Sage Plane, the second stage to be precise. The snake had no issues with dealing with him, much less Void.

"What is the meaning of this? You attacked me last time, now you're here again." Keith pretended to be afraid.

"You managed to survive, yet you foolishly came out again even after knowing we are after your life. I never knew you were this dumb." The leader of the trip mocked.

The man who stepped forward looked at them before saying, "End this quickly, I have matters to attend to."

"Yes." The trio nodded before attacking Keith.

Void stepped forward when this happened.

"You three never know when to take a break, do you?" He waved his paws and sent all three of them flying with a single attack.

The man reacted quickly and managed to stop them from getting hurt. He looked at Void with a surprised gaze.

"A Rank Six beast, and since you can speak, I guess you're one with a high bloodline. Come with us, this kid has nothing." The man said slowly.

"Will you be able to take care of me? Even your family can't take care of me." Void mocked.

The man was irritated by Void's words, but he calmed himself. If he could bring back such a Magical beast back, it would be a good thing for their family.

"A beast of your caliber deserves the best, we will naturally treat you the best we can. I know my family is lowly, but we can assure your continuous growth." The man tried convincing Void.

"I'm not interested in small fries like you people. If you can defeat me, I might consider it." Void said with a proud smile.

The man nodded with a smile, "Alright, I appreciate the opportunity. I won't waste it."

Void chuckled before saying, "You're not my type. Also, you're not my match."

He waved his hand and the gigantic two-headed snake appeared.

Keith was frozen solid from fright as he saw the snake. He was scared shitless. From the aura the snake was emanating, he could tell it was on the same level as the man in front of him.

'Where the hell did they get this from?' He couldn't help but ask.

Void was chuckling when he saw the expression of the man. He knew the man never expected something like this to happen.

'This is why I love going out!'

The man gulped down, and before he could even say anything, the snake attacked.
