Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1239 Too Stunning!

Chapter 1239 Too Stunning!

Grey was still with the man when Void sent a message to him, Cori and the bunny leader were nowhere to be found. It was as if they vanished from the place.
The thought of the bunny leader taking them away was quite high, but Grey didn't want to take any chances. He tried to see if he could still sense the mark he placed on their bodies, but he was unable to sense it.
When the man saw Grey's facial expression, he knew something had happened.
"You're only sensing their disappearance now? I'm a little disappointed." The man struggled to say.
The man was in a weak state, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw Grey's situation. Before attacking, he wanted to make sure Cori wouldn't be part of Grey's squad any longer.
Grey's face contorted and he asked coldly, "Where is she?"
"Hehehe, you'll have to beg me… with your life." The man chuckled.
He was still coughing severely from the poison miasma in his body, but putting Grey in such a state was very exhilarating to him.
He tried to use his essence to prevent it from getting worse. The second his essence touched the miasma, it was quickly broken apart. A miasma is just like the darkness element, it contains a very high level of decomposition.
The man laughed at Grey's situation, even with his terrible state, he still found Grey to be more miserable.
Grey took a glance at him and asked softly, "Where are they?"
"I don't know." The man replied.
Grey attacked after the statement left the man's mouth. He didn't hold back and unleashed a frightening attack at the man.
The man, who was finding it difficult to stop the miasma from causing too much harm in his body, was sent flying. He managed to muster a little bit of elemental essence and was able to set up a defensive wall, but it wasn't strong enough to stop Grey's attack.
While mid-air, Grey appeared beside the man and attacked once again. His punch packed a powerful fire elemental attack with it. It caused a huge explosion and the man slammed into the ground once again.
The man coughed up even more blood and his body started to show signs of drying it. He quickly started to look malnourished.
The man tried to stand on his feet, but he fell to the ground, unable to keep himself standing.
"Kid, kill me and you will never find them again." He threatened.
It was clear that Grey wanted to kill him, but at the moment, he had the edge over him. Grey had no idea where Cori and the bunny leader were, but he did since he was the one who took them. If Grey wanted to see them again, then he should make sure to keep him alive.
"I'll ask you once again, after this, I won't ask another time, where are they?" Grey's coldness started to affect the area.
From where he was standing, ice started to spread from his feet. His aura had spiked and there was an eerie feeling the man sensed from him that sent chills down his spine.
"My answer is the same, I… don't… know." The man said, slowly saying each word.
Grey vanished, this time, the man was unable to track him. When he reappeared, he was standing close to the man, a leg in his hand. The man looked down and noticed his right leg was missing from his knee down.
Grey dropped the leg and looked at the man, he waved his hand and the left leg of the man was cut off. Unlike the first one, the man felt excruciating pain. Grey used the miasma in the man's body to double the pain he feels from these things.
After cutting off his legs, he cut off his hands.
The man still refused to say anything, and without the slightest bit of hesitation, he killed the man, cutting off his head.
He had the thought of torturing the man, but quickly decided against it when he sensed their presence in the void. When he passed through the void to cut off the man's leg, he sensed them. This was the reason he was decisive when killing the man.
The man died with shock on his face, he couldn't believe Grey killed him without waiting to check on Cori.
"Found them."
Void appeared with Cori and the bunny leader. Before the man came to attack Grey, he used his phantom to attack the duo, but with the bunny leader present, nothing happened to them.
The bunny leader was a top notch Space Elementalist, even better than Void at it. Its only issue was that it hated fighting. The second they were attacked, it knew they wouldn't be able to fight back, or run to where Grey was, so he took Cori and hid in the void. Even a Peak Elemental Venerable would not be able to find them in the void, much less this man.
Grey heaved a sigh of relief seeing that they were okay. He took the storage ring from the man and started to go through it. He found what he was looking for, as well as the method to create those phantoms.
He thought about it for a while and decided to learn it. Those phantoms were strong, and unlike the corpse puppets necromancers use, this one is created from a bit of spiritual consciousness of the creator and a ton of resources.
Resources are something Grey didn't lack at the moment. He had gotten a fair amount of resources after acquiring a few people's storage rings. They should be enough to create one or maybe two phantoms.
His plan was to attach the phantoms to Cori and give her complete control over it. She already had those dolls, adding one or two phantoms to it would further increase her safety.
"We'll rest, after that, we'll leave this place." Grey took a seat and started to go through the scroll that had the method of creating the phantom.
Cori didn't wander off this time, she was still a little afraid of what happened the last time. Moving away from Grey would put her in danger.
…..
Aurora Continent.
Grey had gone missing for a few months now, and only those from the Dawson Family knew of his whereabouts.
The hunt for Grey's life had intensified after reports of him being the son of Lucas Dawson spread across the entire Continent. Other than those from the Pyrmond Faction, Grey's friends, and those from the Burchard Family, only a handful of people knew of his identity as Lucas' son.
The news came from nowhere and spread across the Continent very fast. Grey had already become a well recognized genius by the majority of the top Factions and Family in the world. He either had a good relationship with some of them, or a bad one with them.
A few Factions wanted him dead, while others wanted to befriend this shocking genius who has a connection with the great Lucas Dawson. News of Grey's battles from competitions to regular battles started to spread, and everyone realized one thing, he was never on the losing side.
The incident when he killed someone from his Faction also came out, but just like the others stories, he was not on the losing side.
….
The Moonlight Faction.
Klaus wasn't bothered when he heard about the news of Grey spreading. It was normal. When they were in the Azure Empire, the news of Grey acquiring something good also spread across the entire Continent.
The difference here is that, now, there is a powerful group behind Grey. Not just his Family, but also the Faction he was from. Even the Faction and Family he had associated himself with wouldn't mind helping him.
The greatest issue was the Gnomes and necromancers. The price on Grey's head increased the moment he vanished. According to what was said, he was getting stronger and was already regarded as a threat to the Gnomes.
"Why are they so scared of him?" 𝐍𝗈𝗏𝞮𝓵𝑈𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝑜𝐦
Klaus was currently seated with one of the girls in his Faction. The question was asked by the young lady.
"He's too stunning." Klaus replied with pride.
"There are a few geniuses who can match him, what's so special about him that the Gnomes are even willing to reveal the people they've planted for so long?" The young lady didn't see meaning to what the Gnomes were willing to do just to take down Grey.
Grey wasn't even an Elemental Sovereign yet, much less a Half God, but he was already regarded as a serious threat, it was out of the expectations of many people.
"Because he's friends with me." Klaus said with a grin.
The young lady rolled her eyes, she's already used to Klaus' playfulness. They continued conversing before she asked a question that made Klaus stop to think.
"Wouldn't you be in danger since you're friends with him?"
Klaus froze for some seconds before replying with a shrug, "I'll be in danger either way, why not while having such an awesome friend?"
