Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1289 I Hope It’s Him

Chapter 1289 I Hope It's Him

"Your turn."
The man heard a voice behind him that made him shiver. He still recalled the force of the punch he received, how he moved to three different spots was unexplainable to him, yet the monster who did that was standing behind him, waiting to take his life.
"P…" He wanted to beg, but then he realized how foolish it was. If he was the one in Grey's position he wouldn't leave anyone alive, after all, they were mortal enemies, so why should he beg?
"Please, make it quick."
These were the only words that came out of his mouth.
Grey was a little taken aback, but he didn't mind, he pointed his index finger at the man's head and a stream of energy entered, with the pure chaos energy merging with his normal essence, his essence was a force to be reckoned with.
The man died after this movement from Grey. His eyes were open, there was no remorse or sadness in them, just a blankness.
Grey didn't need to look at the corpses, he burnt the corpse there and left the place, heading towards the five Early stages Venerables who were trying to escape.
The five were standing in the same spot with flabbergasted expressions on their faces. They ran away a few seconds ago, but to their surprise, they appeared in the same location. They attempted it several times, but it was to no avail.
"What's happening?"
"Why can't we leave?"
They were panicking.
Grey stood before them with a calm face, he didn't speak, but his eyes turned pale blue and the bodies of the five of them who uncontrollably looked him in the eyes started to freeze. Their eyes were the first to turn solid ice, before the rest of their bodies started to freeze up.
Within a few seconds, they were completely frozen.
Grey tapped them on the body and the bodies shattered into smaller bits of ice on the ground.
He looked at them, emotionless, before turning to look at his friends who were finishing their battles. Well, Klaus wasn't fighting anyone, his opponent was on the ground, bawling her eyes out as Klaus mocked her.
"Enough, don't let her go crazy before you kill her." Grey waved his hand and the lady stopped moving.
She was a normal Gnome now, he didn't need to do much to kill her.
"You ruined my fun. She annoyed me when we were fighting." Klaus pouted, he looked at Grey angrily, "Why didn't you do that thing you usually do to their puppets?"
"She was the only one who brought hers out, I couldn't take the risk of letting the others escape. Besides, you were the one who asked her to." Grey shrugged.
While the duo were still speaking, Reynolds had already killed his opponent, and Alice was in the process of it.
"That was fun, but we should achieve what brought us here. You know we still need to search for treasures." Reynolds said seriously as he walked over.
"Don't worry, we still have time. Besides, it's not like we can't stay here for a little over a week." Grey wasn't bothered with this small delay.
He wasn't too interested in treasures, he had taken too many treasures, and even the origin source. What else did he need?
The trio waited a few more seconds before Alice finished off her opponent.
"What now?" She asked.
"We should head that way." Grey pointed in the northwest direction.
"I can sense more of them coming from that direction, so I suppose that's where their hideout is located." He explained.
"Let's go then, what are we waiting for?" Klaus was the first to move forward.
The others followed behind him, moving very quickly. They wanted to take out more of them before getting to the hideout, this was Grey's plan. The more of them he was able to take out, the better it would be for them when they got to the hideout.
From the number of Gnomes they had encountered since they entered the secret realm, he didn't believe that was all. They had killed close to roughly one hundred or so, but he knew there should be more of them present here.
During their journey, other than the first group of humans they met, they've only seen humans once, and it was a lone Elementalist who was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerables Plane.
Grey presumed the reason he was okay was because he was alone. Traveling alone was safer than in groups in an area like this.
….
The Gnome's castle.
The eyes of the Second Prince was serious, there was a small light in front of him, and hundreds of light dots on them, but the dots were reducing at a shocking speed. In some cases, a large number would go off in seconds, while in others, just one dot would disappear.
"It's been six hours, how come no one has reported back?" The Second Prince was fuming!
"It's him." The Seventh Prince said from his seat.
"Take a look at the pattern, he's headed here." He said while pointing at the way the light dots were going off, and truthfully, only the dots in the direction of the castle were going off.
"It can't be him. He dares to show his filthy face here? I'll kill him in honor of Father." The Second Prince said, his eyes chilly.
The Seventh Prince didn't speak much, he only took a glance at his brother and sat relaxed in his chair. This wasn't his problem to deal with, it's his elder brother's. He hasn't forgotten the humiliation he had to go through due to Grey's actions, now, it was time for his brother to face that demon. To be honest, he wasn't a hundred percent certain, but he was hoping the person coming was Grey.
If it was Grey, he would watch as his brother was also frustrated by someone they would normally regard as an insect.
'I hope it's him.'
