Affinity: Chaos



"Don't let him leave."

The young lady from the Syphilis Faction chased after Grey as he ran in another direction. 

The young lady from the Nether Faction snorted at the young lady's words but she still gave chase. 

Sensing the duo chasing after him, Grey snorted.

"Don't think I can't fight you, I'm just too lazy to care about you two now. I'll play with you two next time." Grey didn't stop his movements. 

Fighting against these two at the moment was just a waste of time. With his strength, he could win if he gave everything, but he didn't want to at the moment. He didn't know what he would have to face later on, fighting to the death with these people at the moment was simply not worth it. 

The duo felt Grey was afraid since he was escaping, so they felt more invigorated to chase him. 

Grey could care less, after getting the direction of where he should head from Void, he didn't slow down, instead, he increased his speed. 

The duo who were chasing after him, especially the young lady from the Nether Faction, was shocked. She had both the lightning and wind element, so she could be said to be very fast. She was also in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane while Grey was still in the First stage, yet, she couldn't catch up to him. No matter how she increased her strength, she was not able to keep up with him, and the distance was getting further and further. 

The young lady from the Syphilis Faction was even worse, although her strength was stronger than Grey's, she was even slower than the other young lady. She was a Darkness Elementalist, and speed had never been her best aspect. 

Grey blitzed through the entire forest, getting to the spot to teleport to the next area. He knew the possibility of them entering the same stage was very low, hence he didn't care. Void and the bunny leader appeared on his shoulder and he stepped into the portal, heading to the next stage. 

The young lady from the Nether Faction was a step slower, before she arrived Grey had been teleported away. She didn't waste any time and stepped into the portal as well, leaving this place. 

The young lady from the Syphilis Faction was the last to appear. She was five seconds slower than the young lady from the Nether Faction. Seeing no one present, she followed the footsteps of the other two, stepping into the portal and disappearing from the area. 

….

Grey's vision blurred, and some moments later, he appeared in another location. This place was more serene than the previous one. He was standing on a quiet hillside. 

"Hmm, interesting." He looked around. 

He couldn't see anything except flowers. 

Void and the bunny leader came out once again, seeing the place, they started to explore it. Grey walked in another direction while they went in another direction. 

Before long, they soon saw something different. Grey was the one who saw this and called the other two over. 

The hill they were actually standing on was not a hill, rather, it was the back of a gigantic turtle. 

Grey couldn't fathom how long this turtle had been here. If not for the fact that he climbed down the hill and saw the strange head, as well as the shape of the supposed hill, he wouldn't have thought this was a turtle. 

"Wow! Do you think it will taste good?" Void exclaimed the moment he saw it. 

All he cared about whenever he saw other Magical Beasts was how to eat them, he wasn't concerned about anything else. Food was the most important! Well, after shiny things. 

Grey shook his head, but he saw the bunny leader also staring at the turtle with an interested look. It was obvious it was thinking about what Void said. 

"I thought you were supposed to eat only plants?" Grey couldn't help but ask. 

'What do you know? I'm a Magical Beast, I can eat whatever I want to eat, meat included.' The bunny leader said, 'Bunny meat excluded. You're not allowed to eat bunnies. We are divine creatures. Cats can be eaten.'

Void bared his fangs at the bunny leader when he heard this. 

Grey chuckled when he heard this but didn't say anything, his interest was on the large turtle in front of him. 

The turtle hadn't made any movements since they appeared. 

"Do you think it's dead?" Void asked curiously. 

"I don't think so. If I recall correctly, turtles have long lifespans. Almost double that of an ordinary Magical Beast in the same stage." Grey replied. 

Magical Beasts had a better lifespan compared to humans, but turtles were special, they were one of the few Magical Beasts with frightening long lifespans. Even a turtle that doesn't cultivate can easily live more than three hundred years. Those who manage to cultivate can live longer. 

They were still speaking when the eyelids of the turtle moved slightly. 

The bunny leader was the first to see it and turned the attention of the other two to it. 

The turtle opened its large eyes and stared at the trio who were floating in the air in front of it. 

"A human?" It spoke in an archaic manner, its voice filled with age. 

"It spoke." Void blurted out. Other than Void, he hadn't seen any other Magical Beasts that could talk. 

This turtle in front of him just spoke, which surprised him. He knew Magical Beasts gained the ability to speak from the Eighth Rank. At the thought of it, his heart tightened when the turtle was staring at him. 

He might be strong, but against an Elemental Sovereign, he would not be able to even defend himself, much less put up a fight. This turtle must be thousands of years old, fighting it would be even more difficult. 

The turtle saw the change in Grey's face and said, "I have no interest in killing you, human boy."

"Hmm, where are you from?" It didn't speak to Grey any further, turning its attention to Void.
