Affinity:Chaos

The son of the Dawson Family Head looked at Grey and smiled softly. The others from the Dawson Family walked over to where the son of the Dawson Family Head was standing. Other than him who wasn’t showing any signs of hate towards Grey, the others weren’t really making any effort to hide theirs. 

It was clear for others to see that there seemed to be some sort of rift between them. 

Grey didn’t bother with them as he walked over to where Cori was standing, just as he got close, his expression changed drastically and he vanished, appearing beside the group of four, he created a large earth dome. 

Boom! 

The earth dome shook and started to crack. 

“Another attack!” The golden robed man’s scream woke the others from their dormant state. 

None of them expected that there would be another attack so early. 

Void was already prepared to take Cori away from the place, but Grey stopped him and jumped in to save them. He didn’t want to expose Void just yet. Since he could do something to block the attack, it was best to keep Void’s strength hidden. 

If not for the fact that the bunny leader didn’t like fighting, he would’ve had two powerful Magical Beasts with him, but the bunny leader liked it when others did the hard work. It had even suggested to Grey to let it go and bring its servants. 

It had been with Grey for a while and Grey said after they left this place, he would allow it to get them. It was a good way to strengthen his group, so there was no harm in doing so. He was confident the bunny leader wouldn’t escape. 

Unlike humans, Magical Beasts don’t like deceiving people and are almost always true to whatever they say. Of course, given the cunningness the bunny leader had shown from the first time he had seen it, there was a good possibility that it was lying. But Grey was optimistic, besides, he marked it. If it ran away, he would be able to eventually track it. 

The mark he used on it was more complex compared to the ones he had been using. There was almost no way for the bunny leader to remove it on its own. 

….

The dome soon fell apart and Grey and the other four appeared in view. 

The attack seemed to be invisible as no one saw it. They only sensed it. 

Grey took them and teleported to where the others were standing. He kept the four who were in the Sage Plane in the middle of the group of Elemental Venerables. This was the only way they would be able to protect. 

The others surrounded them, hoping to protect them from another attack. 

They all looked around, all on high alert. They soon heard a giggle, an eerie one that sent chills down the spines of everyone that was present there. 

“It has been a long time since I had human blood.” The voice said, still giggling, “Hmm, one of you has a familiar smell.”

“Oh, you’re the human who came here the last time, right?” The voice asked. 

The golden robed man knew he was the one being asked the question. 

“Show yourself, why stay hidden if you’re so powerful?” The golden robed man asked with a mocking tone. 

“Kikiki, you don’t have to worry about me. I wanted to taste the blood of those fries, but it looks like I’ll have to kill you all first before I can do that.” The voice said, still hidden from them. 

“The person who saved them, you have a unique smell. I don’t mind letting you leave.” The voice said. 

It clearly didn’t have any plans in letting the others leave, but it said it would let Grey leave this place which surprised the others who were there. 

“Did you plan this with it?” One of the youths from the Dawson Family asked. 

“Do you have a brain leakage? If I knew of a place like this and also have a good relationship with whatever that is, why would I bring people here when I can just take everything for myself?” Grey didn’t understand how the young man could even ask such a question. Sometimes, he was surprised at how daft some people proved to be. 

He didn’t bother with them, as he stood close to Cori. His responsibility was to make sure that no matter what, he saved her. Void was there as well, so worse comes to worse, Void would have to save her and take her out while he was holding down the helm. 

The golden robed man looked around and started muttering something, he made some hand seals and a large array appeared. The array sent out a wave of energy that started to spread across the entire space. 

They were currently standing in a street, with buildings on both sides. At the moment, there was a large probability that the owner of the voice was hidden in one of these buildings. 

The array the golden robed man used was a detection array. As long as there was another person present, it would be able to sense the person and even point him in the direction the person was hiding. 

This array had helped him a lot over the years and now, he was hoping to use it once again. 

He didn’t think the array would work for this entity though, he had been trying to sense it, not just him, even Void had been trying, but they hadn’t been able to find out where it was. The voice sounded like it was coming from all angles. 

The energy wave came out from the array multiple times, but it was unable to detect anything. 

“Over there!” Grey pointed in the direction of one of the Seventh stage Elemental Venerables and an attack exploded there, sending the figure flying. 

Before the figure could hit the ground, he vanished into thin air.
