Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1335 Five Pillars

Chapter 1335 Five Pillars

Elaris and the others looked at Grey, and their eyes turned to the small cat that was on his shoulder. No one saw it with him when he was coming in, only when he was injured a few minutes ago did the cat suddenly appear.
"Since when did you have that?" Elaris asked, pointing at Void who was on his shoulder.
"He has always been with me." Grey replied casually.
Without having to worry about who attacked him now, he turned his attention to the place he was in. He could sense a good amount of elemental particles, it was almost on the same level as his Chaos Space.
Of course, he hadn't ventured to the deepest part of each element's region, and for a long time now, he hadn't even bothered with it. His grades were increasing, and there was no need to bother too much about it.
Grey's armor repaired itself with the abundance of essence in the area, fixing the destroyed part on the back and fixing up Grey's clothes once again.
Seeing that Grey was alright, another person asked Grey a question he expected to come.
"How do you have scales?" Brax was the one who asked, his body posture showed that he was prepared to attack.
Grey chuckled and asked, "You haven't seen or heard of people being able to show some attributes of Magical Beasts?"
He wasn't worried he would be attacked, even if they dared to attack him, he wasn't worried. He might be hurt, but he could still escape with his speed.
"We know of the Vaergahl Family, but not of others." Victor answered.
"Don't keep yourself limited, you'll find out things aren't that difficult to achieve." Grey advised before adding, "Oh, keep this to yourself so as not to attract too much attention. I don't want people bothering me."
Grey was unbothered by the way they were looking at him, rather, he was now fully interested in the hill they were standing on.
There was a sky above them, and he could feel the breeze on his face, but he also knew they weren't in the outside world and were still in the pyramid. This wasn't even a special place created in the pyramid, it was part of the pyramid just like the underground stream and other Halls.
Grey looked towards the top of the hill and saw stone carvings that stretched to the sky.
He walked closer to the stone carvings. There were markings on it that looked similar to the ones he saw on the door and also on the paths.
The markings were even more intricate than ruins and the only form of understanding he has got from his observations over the past few days is that they were a form of writing and not casually drawn arrays. It was as if the writings were trying to tell him a story, but he hadn't been able to comprehend the meaning behind them so he was lost.
The more simulations he made in his head about the writings and drawings he made, the more he felt it was just too complex.
It was as if he was trying to understand everything about the world in one go, this was how this thing felt to him.
What he found a bit annoying was the fact that he hadn't seen anything that could be of help to him in his endeavor. He was studying blind and coming up with assumptions on his own which might be completely wrong.
He placed his palm on the carvings on the stones, but other than the coldness from the stone he didn't feel anything.
"Where's this place?" Sylvia's brother asked.
The stones looked very mysterious, and he could also sense an odd aura from them. The stones looked like they were the pillars keeping the world afloat. This was the feeling he got while staring at them.
"It's magical." Elaris exclaimed softly as she worked close to the stones. She ran her fingers across the surface of the stone, the coldness sent a chill down her spine.
Brax and Victor looked around, and in this entire place, other than the extraordinary abundance of essence, all that was in sight were these large stones that stretched into the sky.
They all walked closer to it and tried to feel it.
The stone didn't seem to be made from ordinary rock, but from a material none of them had ever seen.
Grey tried to manipulate the stone, but to his surprise, there wasn't any form of reaction from it.
"Not under the earth element?" He was a bit confused.
He repeatedly tapped it and increased his force as time went on, trying to see if he could cause any form of destruction to it. But the stone didn't budge, it was as if Grey wasn't trying to destroy it.
'This thing is strange, stop hitting it.' Void stopped Grey from hitting it any further.
Grey, who was already preparing to use all his strength, stopped attacking it. He knew Void had a great intuition, so he didn't dare to continue.
There were five stones that were in different positions, four making a square while the last one was in the middle.
Grey walked away from the one he was studying and walked towards the one that was in the middle. Attacking it was no use, so the best thing he could do was at least study it and try to see if he could decipher the marks on it.
He started to look at each mark, trying to see if they had a meaning while flying into the sky, heading higher as he looked through each mark.
While looking at the marks, he was making a mental note of each, drawing them in his head, trying to see if all of them were drawn out and whether he could get something useful from them. The higher he went, the more intricate he felt the marks were.
A strange feeling started to grow in him. Unknown to him, the more mental marks he was drawing that were in correlation with this one, a dime glow was starting to appear on his body and those markings were slowly appearing on his body.
