Affinity: Chaos-Chapter 1321 An Invitation From The Giants

Grey and Void started their journey through the secret realm. With the powerful Gnomes no longer active in the secret realm, they didn't have anything to worry about. Grey didn't even bother to head back to the castle which is the hideout of the Gnomes, there was nothing left for him there. He knew the Princes wouldn't dare to return, well, unless they brought reinforcement.

However, that would take a long time and he had to make the best of the current opportunity he had. He still had a few people he had to give treasures to.

Although Arthel was presently under his father, technically, he was the one who brought him here so he still had to be responsible for a few things relating to his training. There was also Cori who was like his little sister. She needed a good amount of treasure to make her body grow faster into her current strength so she would be able to increase her strength and fight stronger opponents.

Grey didn't need her to stay weak, war was coming, and the stronger she was, the safer she would be.

There was also the triplet from the horned race, and also a few friends. He wasn't too concerned about his friends who weren't here, but the triplet needed all he could provide them if they wanted to boost their strength faster.

They were still at the Sage Plane, and getting to the Elemental Venerable seemed very far from them. Unless Grey were to bring back a handful of treasures that would be helpful to them.

At the thought of all this, Grey couldn't help but give a wry chuckle. He couldn't believe he was preparing for a war that might eventually end the human race.

'If only I was stronger…' He thought to himself, but he soon tossed it to the back of his mind.

There was no use bothering too much about something like this since he wasn't strong enough. If the sky was falling, there would be people who would hold it for him. Until he got to that stage, all he needed to focus on was getting stronger.

With all the things he has learned so far, he was certain that against anyone on the same stage as himself, he was invincible. The merging of his chaos and essence energies made his attack power even more destructive. Adding his space element, as well as his miasma, he could insta-kill anyone at the Peak if he attacked them without them being able to defend.

Even Klaus is capable of achieving such a feat, so it was natural that it wouldn't be hard for him to do something like that.

"Is there anything good around?" Grey turned his attention to Void.

He had to make good use of the time he had on his hands. Void and the bunny leader were his best asset when it came to treasure hunting. With the bunny leader absent, Void was the only one tasked with sensing treasures.

Void shook his head, he had already tried sensing if there was any treasure around, but there wasn't any that caught his attention.

Grey didn't speak too much, if he saw anyone around, he would take it, if not, he wouldn't bother.

Before any treasure can catch Void's attention, then it has to have a very high level. Void rarely looks at low ranked treasures so Grey had gotten used to it.

The duo started exploring the secret realm, with their strength, there was nothing they were afraid of. Other than a few traps which could be very deadly to them, there was nothing else. The rest things here all had the strength of a Peak Elemental Venerable, which was within their ability to deal with.

….

Time went by and in the blink of an eye, four days had gone by.

Grey and Void had been exploring the place and thanks to Void, they've managed to only get one treasure. Neither of them knew what it was used for, but since Void said it was good stuff, Grey took it.

Grey didn't know how the others were doing, but he felt they were doing okay. During these past four days, he had crossed paths with a few humans, and also a few people from the Giant race. He didn't have any clash with the Giant race as there was no need. There was no treasure in sight when he encountered them, so he let them be.

"All the good stuffs has been taken away. There's nothing else for us here." Void said in dissatisfaction.

They've been searching for a while now and they still hadn't encountered anything good. With his good senses, he would've been able to at least sense where a few treasures were located, but other than the one they didn't know what it's used for, there was nothing else they've found and he was starting to lose interest in this place.

There was nothing fun to do, and there were no treasures.

"We still have to wait for the others, so we can't leave now." Grey was feeling the same way as Void, but he didn't see any reason to leave.

They might not see anything valuable in some of the treasures here, but Klaus and the others wouldn't mind taking a few things. Alice and Reynolds especially. They had the lowest cultivation stage and wanted to improve as fast as they could.

Void took a glance at Grey and gave a little grunt of dissatisfaction before disappearing.

Grey shook his head, he knew Void wanted to rest inside his spatial ring.

With a sigh, he started exploring the place on his own. If there was anything of value, Void would come out, this, he was certain of.

The day went by very quickly, and Grey took all he saw. He didn't worry if they were good or not, he took almost everything in sight that he felt was of value.

He continued moving through the secret realm, not contacting the others.

….

Across the secret realm, there was a certain atmosphere. Without the Gnomes to cause trouble for humans, humans have been able to gather a lot of treasures. Unlike before when they had to be cautious, now, all they needed to do was to ensure they didn't have a fight with the Giants and they would be relatively fine.

The news of the Gnomes being decimated by Grey and his friends quickly spread across the entire secret realm. Only those who were aware of Grey's presence knew it was his handiwork.

….

The Giant race's hideout.

"Are you sure it's the same person?" A voice asked.

"I'm certain it is." Another person replied, the person added, "He's the only one I know who can overpower the Gnomes."

"Hmm, I'd like to meet him."

"Alright, I'll send out words for him. With his guts, I don't think he would reject your invitation." The person said.

The duo spoke for a while longer before the figure left the place.

The Hall they were in was extraordinarily large when compared to that of the Gnomes of humans.

When the figure in the Hall stepped out from the large doors, a Giant figure could be seen.

The figure had a familiar face, it was the Giant Grey who went to meet at the time he was in the lower realm.

He was the leader of the Giants at that time, now though, he was in a lower cultivation stage, but he still enjoyed a high status here.

The person who was leading them was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

He said some words to a few people and after describing what Grey looked like, he went back inside.

Grey was the one they wanted to see, they had no interest in the other humans. He also told them not to get into any conflict with humans, just telling them to pass on the invitation over to Grey.

….

A day later.

Grey soon got word of the invitation. He was a little taken aback because he didn't expect the Giant race would invite him to their hideout.

Searching for a Giant wasn't difficult, and before long, he was on his way to the Giant race's hideout.

….

Somewhere in the secret realm.

A young lady looked at the Giant before her, curious.

She turned to the human who was with her.

"Who's this person they are inviting over?"

"It's Grey." The young man beside her said.

The young man was the younger brother of Sylvia. He was in shock at Grey's efficiency.

It took less than a week before Grey had the entire Gnome race in a chokehold, now, the Giant race was inviting him over to their hideout.

"What do you think they want with him?" The young lady asked.

"I have no idea. But I'm sure he will go." Sylvia's younger brother said.

"Should we head there too, just to make sure it's not a trap? The Gnomes might have contacted them." The young lady suggested.
