AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 340: First Try!



Chapter 340: First Try!

“Hmm, I’ll need to try out a small scale teleportation array, before going for the big one,” Grey said while looking at the empty cave.

He hadn’t made one before, so he couldn’t simply make one here then head to Eternal City, hoping it would work.

He brought out a piece of paper and a brush and ink and started drawing array lines on them.

Before trying them on the ground, he had the habit of first drawing the array lines on a piece of paper. He wouldn’t be working with what others had previously made like for the communication device, instead, he would be trying to integrate his space element into a movement array.

This is an array that, as its name suggests, boosts the speed of the one who makes it or a selected few while they are in the array. It’s usually an array that covers a large area. This array is mostly used in wars.

After completing the movement array on the piece of paper, he started searching for ways to modify it so he could integrate the space element into it.

‘Should I try it without modification?’ He thought with his hand rubbing his chin.

After a few minutes, he decided to try it out. There are different ways to integrate the space element into the array, so he quickly started trying it out.

First of all, he would get the coordinates of the spatial nodes of this place, then infuse them into the array.

Once he’s done with that, he would go to the last step, activating the array. Although there’s no destination for now, he wasn’t disturbed by that, what mattered was that the array worked.

Grey sat crossed leg with the piece of paper before him. After calming his mind, he started feeling the space around him. When he closed his eyes, it was like he was standing in the boundless space, around him were multiple nodes connecting like an intricate array.

He slowly started searching for the nodes, and after a few seconds, he located them. It wasn’t that hard to locate since it was shining brighter than the rest.

After locating it, he slowly started trying to infuse the node into the array. It took him five minutes before he managed to complete it.

“Damn!” Grey exclaimed as soon as he was done.

He was currently sweating profusely, infusing the nodes wasn’t too difficult, but it took a toll on him.

As a result of not resting after using the space element repeatedly in the Reiss family, he was almost completely exhausted.

Grey looked at the array on the paper, “Well, it’s time to try it.”

He brought out a single essence stone and tried activating the array.

The lines on the paper lit up, accompanied by the essence stone Grey placed on it.

Grey sensed the space element revolving around the array which surprised him. He expected for it to at least have some issues, but it seemed to be working fine, or so he thought.

Without further ado, he tried to see if it could transport something to another location.

He took out the second paper, and hastily infused another spatial node on it, a node that was in the same cave.

After completing the second one, his face was completely pale, and he knew after this experiment, he needed to rest.

He left the first paper in its original position, while he moved the other one a little further away from it.

“Phew! Here goes nothing.”

Grey picked up a rock by the side, and just as he turned to the first paper, he noticed it was no longer lighting.

‘It’s completely exhausted the essence stone within such a small timeframe?’ He was left flabbergasted by the consumption.

Everything about the space element seems to yell high consumption to him. It didn’t take him up to three minutes to complete the array and infuse the space element on the paper, yet the array on the first paper had completely exhausted the essence stone.

One has to remember that this was a small-scale array. Grey couldn’t help but shiver at the thought of the essence stones he’d need for the large-scale array.

‘Luckily, I took quite a lot.’ He smiled slightly as he tapped on his spatial ring, taking out another essence stone.

Only one of the arrays needs to be activated for them to work, so he didn’t need to place any essence stone on the other paper.

After placing the essence stone on the paper, the array lit up once again when he activated it. He hastily threw the rock in the paper.

As soon as the rock came in contact with the array, the array shone brighter, engulfing the rock. A few seconds later, Grey saw the other paper lighting up.

After the light died down, he saw the rock on the other paper.

“Haha, success on the first try!” Grey laughed out unconsciously.

Given his previous luck whenever it came to things that had to do with research and experiment, he thought he might need to at least try it up to five or six times before he would succeed. He never expected to be successful right off the bat, this was a first for him, and he felt genuinely happy.

Had Void not been injured, then he would’ve been extremely happy.

‘Time to rest, if I stay up any longer I might not be able to move properly for the next day,’ Grey thought before sitting down cross-legged.

He had gotten used to always meditating whenever he was tired.

Before he started his experiment, he made some detection arrays around the cave. That way if someone wanted to sneak in, he would be alerted and prepare himself for whoever was coming.

He quickly went into a semi-conscious state, recovering the essence he used while making the array.

Six hours later.

Grey opened his eyes and looked around. The cave was dimly lit, indicating it was already dark outside.

‘Hmm, I didn’t check the elemental grade for the space element.’ He suddenly recalled and closed his eyes once again, heading into the Chaos Space.
