AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 313: Ceremony



Chapter 313: Ceremony

“Is everything alright, sir?” Petra asked when she saw Grey almost falling.

“Yes, I’ll take this one, and the black one you showed me earlier,” Grey replied gently after calming himself.

‘Void, never tell me something like that again, okay?’ He reprimanded.

‘Yeah, but Klaus wouldn’t mind me telling him,’ Void replied cheekily.

‘You know what, get out of the bathroom,’

‘What if she uses a secret entrance?’

‘Fine stay, but mind what you tell me.’

Grey continued speaking with Void while Petra packed up the two clothes he wanted. There were a lot of people in the shop, so he planned on changing into one of the clothes, and leaving the place with one of the people here, hopefully, a group.

He paid for the clothes before going into one of the changing rooms in the shop to put on one of his new clothes.

Ten minutes later, Grey walked out of the changing room, dressed in the blue shirt and pants Petra was previously showing him.

Petra who was standing outside the dressing room was left dumbstruck at the sight of Grey. She almost wanted to ask if Grey was the person who walked into the changing room just now, or if he was inside before. The cloak Grey previously wore covered at least half of his face, so she didn’t know what he looked like.

“How do I look?” Grey asked while spreading out his hands.

“It… it looks good on you, young… sir,’ Petra was flustered by Grey’s handsome face that she was lost for words. Luckily, she managed to speak, although just barely.

Grey quickly caught the attention of some young ladies, as well as young men in the shop. Even the older ladies stared at him in awe, after all, it’s not every day they get the chance to see such a handsome young man.

Grey, who was already used to being stared at by people, didn’t really feel much from the gazes. He looked around, hoping to find a group he could tag along with when going out. While he was in the changing room, he made a small array on the clothes that was able to block out the spiritual senses of those watching him.

He planned on activating it when one of the groups in the shop is about to leave. That way, it would be difficult for the people outside to find him. The people outside didn’t know how he looked, so he didn’t have any fears about walking out.

“Guess I’ll take some traveling wears as well,” Grey spoke calmly to Petra with his hands placed behind his back.

Petra nodded before showing him in the direction of where the traveling wears were located. Due to being stunned by Grey’s appearance, she forgot that he didn’t come out with any of the bags he took into the changing room.

Grey stayed in the shop for another five minutes before noticing a group of eight who were planning to leave. The group consisted of five young men and three young ladies, and they were all well-dressed, not as extravagant as those who followed Sasha, but they would do.

Without any further delay, he tapped his right pocket, and the essence stone that he kept there lit up for a second before going out. Array lines on the inside of his clothes lit up at the same time as the essence stones before going off.

After successfully blocking out all prying senses, he regulated his stage with the help of the array as well, decreasing it to the First stage of the Origin Plane. If he took it lower than the Origin Plane, the group of four that were following him would find out since his control over hiding it wasn’t strong enough to hide it from them. But in the Origin Plane, he was certain that only those in the Overlord Plane would be able to notice he was hiding his stage.

Grey approached the group of eight with a friendly, even though his people skills aren’t on the same level as Klaus, he didn’t think he would have a problem with talking to the group. The group of eight was surprised when they saw him approaching them.

He introduced himself to the group, using the same name he told Sasha. The group was surprisingly welcoming, and he immediately started a conversation with them.

Just as they started heading out while talking, the man in his twenties from the group of four walked into the shop. He stared at the group suspiciously, after not recognizing any of them, he walked straight for where Grey was standing before he activated the array that hid him from them.

Grey smirked inside while leaving the shop with the group. The group invited him to join them for a birthday ceremony they’ll be attending in two days’ time, and he agreed since he wouldn’t really be doing much with Void following Sasha now and he could hopefully get to find out the relationship between Alice and Sasha from this group as well.

After taking the invitation letter from the group, he left them and headed back to the tavern he was staying at. He made sure to wear his cloak before going into the tavern.

Later that night.

“Phew!” Grey breathed out heavily with a white mist leaving his mouth.

He opened his eyes to look at the full moon through the window.

“I’m finally in the Sixth stage, to think I’ll advance this quickly,” He muttered to himself while staring out the window.

After just four days of constant cultivating every night, he had finally broken through to the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane. Now, he was starting to see the advantages of awakening more elements. Awakening the darkness element greatly boosted his cultivation speed, but what made him break through this quickly was obviously the Great Earth Essence Liquid he absorbed when improving the elemental grade of his darkness element.

Grey brought out the disk and touched the middle, he looked at the positioning of everyone and noticed Reynolds and Klaus had moved a considerable distance from where they previously were. The only thing that made his face turn sour was Alice, whose light dot was still in the same position.

‘Hopefully, I’ll know where she’s located soon.’
