Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 585 - What Were You Saying?

Grey's aura started to increase once again as he took the third step.

"It can't be that he's going to break through again," Old man Gerald stood up in disbelief.

It was like he was witnessing the most unbelievable thing. If he were to hear about this from someone, he would never believe it, but here he was, witnessing it.

He wasn't the only one who was staring in disbelief, everyone here was feeling the same.

Jonas looked at Grey for a while before shaking his head in defeat. The Earl sisters looked at him in awe.

Reynolds' mouth was opened so wide that an egg could fit into it perfectly. Alice shook her head wryly.

"Show off," Void said while resting on Alice's shoulder.

He was spooked when Grey's aura suddenly spiked, so he disappeared, appearing on Alice's shoulder.

"Is… is he really human?" Reynolds couldn't help but ask.

Alice smacked him on his shoulder when she heard his question, "Seriously?"

Reynolds rubbed the place he was smacked while replying, "I mean, look at him,"

"It is quite difficult to believe something like this is possible, but with him, I believe anything is possible," Alice replied.

Grey's aura soon got to the peak of the Second stage of the Overlord Plane before easily crossing the threshold, stepping into the Third stage of the Overlord Plane.

With that, his aura started to die down once again, causing huge relief amongst the audience, especially from those in the Royal and the Starlight Academy. Some of the students from the Lunar Academy knew of this senior of theirs, so they naturally felt proud of having such a talented senior.

The Instructors of the Academies, as well as the officials from the Capital exchanged glances, all nodding their heads simultaneously. The few princes who were present stood up as well, walking forward.

Now, other than the first two Instructors who wanted to fight against Grey and his friends, five more Instructors have stepped forward as well, all in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane.

Just as they prepared to attack, Grey took another step forward.

This was his fourth step, and his aura intensified once again.

The Instructors sent out some attacks, but as soon as they got close to Grey, they lost control over the elemental attack, and it started to circulate around Grey.

"How's this possible? I lost control of my attack," One of the Instructors yelled in horror.

"Me too!" The others exclaimed simultaneously.

They looked at Grey as if he was a monster. This was not the first time they had witnessed someone breaking through, and this was also not the first time they had attacked someone who was breaking through. They had killed a few people who were in the middle of breaking through, so there was no way they could explain what just happened.

Once an Elementalist gets to the Overlord Plane, they would obtain the ability to forcibly take control of a weaker Elementalist's elemental attack, but it must be of the same element as the Elementalist.

Eight different Elementalists attacked simultaneously, using four different elements, yet they all lost control over them. This meant that someone who had all four elements and was stronger than they were forcibly took control of them, or different powerful individuals did it.

They didn't even think for once that Grey was the one doing it.

Grey's aura soon got to the peak for the Third stage, and with the same sound of something breaking, he easily crossed through to the Fourth stage of the Overlord Plane.

This was the fastest advancement anyone present here had seen or even heard of. Never in the entire history of the Azure Continent has there been a case of someone going from the First stage of the Overlord Plane to the Fourth stage in a matter of mere minutes.

Since Grey broke through to the Overlord Plane, it hadn't even been up to three minutes, yet he was already in the Mid stages.

It was unheard of!

Unlike the last time, Grey's aura didn't die down, instead, it continued to surge, and to their horror, he took another step.

Bam! Boom!

The spot he placed his foot cracked, as his aura spiked once again. It soon started to climb, from the initial stages of the Fourth stage to the intermediate stages, and before long, it got to the late stages and finally the peak of the Fourth stage.

Whoosh! Boom!

His aura shot up, and he broke through to the Fifth stage of the Overlord Plane.

After he got to the Fifth stage, his aura started to drop once again.

Everyone didn't drop their guards since this was not the first time Grey's aura was acting like this. There is a small possibility that it would come up once again.

After waiting for a few seconds, Grey's aura completely receded, and it was almost like he was a regular person who didn't cultivate. The contrast between what they sensed a few seconds ago and now was like the sun and moon, completely different.

Old man Gerald was shaking so much that it was almost as if he wanted to explode, he couldn't believe what he just witnessed.

"A once in a lifetime genius, even Chris doesn't hold a candle in his presence," He muttered as he watched Grey's performance.

Prince Casper was staring at Grey as if he was looking at someone else. How was this even possible? Going from the Peak stage of the Origin Plane, all the way to the Fifth stage of the Overlord Plane with nothing more than five steps? Impossible!

Reynolds was chuckling excitedly, he already saw how powerful Grey was when he was at the Peak of the Origin Plane, he didn't even need a word from anyone to guess just how powerful Grey would be now.

"Hmm, so what were you saying?" Grey opened his eyes as he glanced at the Instructors who were laughing at him for being at the Peak of the Origin Plane a few minutes ago.

Currently, he was even a stage above one of them.
