Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1226 Special Fruits

Chapter 1226 Special Fruits

Grey was the only one who took that path. With the man following behind him, they were two people who took the same path.
Grey had no idea the man was following due to anger of not being able to partner with anyone, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be bothered in any way. He saw the phantom behind him, and with the phantom moving with him when he switched places with him, he was a hundred percent certain there was a certain relationship between them. There was no way it would've been taken by the switch skill when it was not Grey's target, unless it was attached to the person Grey wanted to switch places with.
The switch skill doesn't make use of a large spatial tunnel, all it did was to take the exact size of Grey and the target he wants to switch places with. If any other things follows, then it was part or attached to the target.
….
After entering the hallway, Grey was greeted by a long tunnel. He never even thought it would be like this, he expected to see doors, a lot of doors.
The bunny leader was out now and it was staring around.
"Can you two sense anything good?" Grey asked Void and the bunny leader.
"Nothing." Void shook his head, but then added, "Maybe there's something hiding it from our senses. Once I get closer, I'll know if there is anything good or not."
Grey nodded and started to walk further into the tunnel.
"I wonder if the other ones are like this." He muttered.
He was quite curious about it, but there was no way for him to find out about it unless he walked there to check it out.
"Someone's behind us." Void said.
"I know." Grey replied, he knew someone would definitely take the same path as him, it wasn't like he was the owner of the place.
The group continued walking forward with Cori looking around curiously. This was her first time being in a place like this, and it was quite exciting.
They walked through the tunnel and before long they started to see an opening on the other side of the tunnel. There was light on the other side, almost as if they stepped outside the cave.
As they got closer, they could even feel the cool breeze of the wind.
"We're going outside?" Cori asked, a little amazed.
"Not likely. Maybe there is a special spot here." Grey looked on with a normal expression, this was not the first time he was experiencing something like this, so he had little knowledge about it.
When they got to the end of the tunnel, their vision was blinded by the bright light, after a second, their eyes adjusted to the place and they welcomed a scene like spring, flowers sprouting from the ground, beautifying the place.
"It looks so peaceful."
This was the only statement that came out of Grey's mouth. He expected something that would want to kill them, but to his surprise, he seemed to have entered a place that looked like a garden.
"Is there anything good?"
Both Grey and Void turned to the bunny leader, it was the one who had dealt with plants more, so it should know if there is something good here or not.
The bunny leader stopped to sense the place. It closed its eyes, but it doesn't seem to sense anything. Just when it was about to stop, its nose twitched.
Grey and Void knew that was a small sign that it must've sensed something.
"What did you get?" Void asked curiously.
'My favorite flower is planted here.' The bunny leader said.
"And what does your favorite flower being here have to do with us?" Void asked with an annoyed expression, he suddenly paused and asked, "Is your favorite flower a treasure?"
𝑛𝓞𝗏𝐄𝔩𝑈𝗌𝔟.𝗰𝗈𝓂
'No.' The bunny leader shook his head.
"Then why are you wasting our time?" Void looked at it, a little vexed.
'My favorite flower doesn't grow in a place that doesn't have a special fruit. This fruit can strengthen the essence of an Elementalist and even make their physical body grow stronger.' The bunny leader explained.
"So that's it. Lead us there then." Grey said.
The bunny leader nodded and took the lead, Grey, Cori, and Void followed the bunny leader.
They soon got to where the fruit the bunny leader was speaking of. This fruit was present in the garden Grey first saw the bunny leader. He was unable to get this particular fruit at that time.
Just as Grey was about to grab it, he paused and looked behind him.
"It's you." He said casually when he saw who was walking behind him.
"Yes…" The figure said slowly before staring around, "What's this place?"
"I have no idea. I saw myself here after getting to the end of the tunnel." Grey shrugged and bent down, picking the fruits. He only paused because he sensed someone coming close, now that he had confirmed who the person was, there was nothing else stopping.
The figure he was speaking of was surprisingly not the man he accused, but the son of the Dawson Family Head who didn't even think of taking the same path as Grey. He didn't understand how he got to this place.
The son of the Dawson Family Head looked at the fruit Grey was taking. There was around ten, and Grey had already taken nine.
"Stop." He called out as he walked closer to them.
Grey touched the fruit and it vanished. He looked at the son of the Dawson Family Head with a nonchalant expression, "What?"
The son of the Dawson Family Head looked at Grey, with a sigh he replied, "Nothing."
Grey chuckled and turned to look in the direction of the place he came from, he saw the man who he accused.
"It's you." Grey said casually.
The man paused when he saw the son of the Dawson Family Head with Grey.
'I thought they had some issues.' He looked at the duo, as well as the young Cori.
Void and the bunny leader were nowhere to be seen as they hid in the tall flowers. Even the golden robed man would not be able to sense them, much less this man who was still in the Eighth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
