Affinity: Chaos Chapter 661 - Marsh Rats

Chapter 661 - Marsh Rats

"How are you possible?" Klaus blurted out while Grey and the boar were speaking about the formation.

"What?" The boar turned around.

"How's that possible?" Klaus quickly changed what he said. Even though he was dying of curiosity as to how the boar was in this current state, he felt asking in that manner may offend the boar. Of course he didn't really care they offended him, but just like Grey, he had presud the boar had sothing backing him.

"You don't know about natural formations?" The boar asked, shocked by Klaus' lack of knowledge.

"No, no I do not." Klaus replied.

The others however heard what he asked the first ti, likewise the boar, but since everyone acted like the question was never asked, it was all for the better.

Grey explained how natural formations ford. They co in different ways, so are made in the sea, so in the desert, so in swamps, even mountains make up natural formations. These formations can form almost anywhere, as long as there is nature there.

"So, how did you manage to know the way of going through?" Reynolds asked.

"Hehe, that's my secret. Now, what do you have to offer?" The boar asked while rubbing both hands together.

"Essence stones?" Grey asked.

"Not acceptable. I have way too many essence stones in my possession, rather, I want sothing good." The boar shook his head.

"Hmm, I have an elental weapon here, do you want that?" Grey asked.

The boar shook his head again.

"What do you want then?" Klaus asked when the boar was agreeing to anything Grey was offering.

"Give that cat." The boar pointed at Void.

Grey's eyes imdiately went cold the mont the boar pointed at Void.

On seeing Grey's cold eyes, a chill ran down the spine of the boar and he took a step back, "I was only joking, essence stones and so elental weapons would do."

Grey took out two mid-grade elental weapons, before taking out almost twenty high-grade essence stones.

The boar's eyes glittered when he saw this and he said, "It's not enough."

He had already kept these ones before he said this. This way, Grey and his friends wouldn't step back.

"Do you believe that you'll be dead before whatever you have your hopes on would co?" Grey asked coldly, his disposition one that showed that he wasn't joking.

"Calm down, but I'm only stating the truth, these are not enough." The boar said.

"Since they aren't, return them." Grey was decisive in his decision making.

He knew the boar was only trying to take advantage of them since it saw how easily he brought out the items. From how the boar acted, he knew he must've done this to countless people.

"You do not understand what I'm trying to say..." The boar tried to explain. However, he was cut short by Grey.

"Void." Grey said a single statent.

The boar who still felt like he had the upper hand felt his scalp go numb, and the cat that was on Grey's shoulder was no longer there, instead, he was on his shoulder, staring at him playfully, it was like he could kill him anyti.

"Wha… what is the aning of this?" The boar stamred.

"Return them or tell how to pass through the forest." Grey's voice was as cold as ice.

The boar looked at Void, and he knew that this cat could easily kill him which freaked him out. When Grey and his friends ca in here, Void hadn't said a word, lying carelessly on Grey's shoulder.

"Here, it'll take you to the other side of the forest. It knows the way." The boar waved his hand and a small cage appeared, inside the cat was a small rat.

The rat was barely over six inches.

"This thing can help us get through?" Klaus asked as he picked up the cage. He didn't believe what the boar was saying.

"Yes, but you'll have to let it go after you've crossed so it can co back to ." The boar replied.

"How can it take us there?" Grey asked

"This is a Marsh Rat. It's incredibly difficult to capture, but once you get the right tools, you can easily keep one of them." The boar said.

"There's a female on the other side?" Grey asked.

"You know about this as well?" The boar asked, amazed by Grey's knowledge of things.

These types of magical beasts are the least popular type because they have almost zero fighting abilities. They could almost be counted as regular beasts.

They are extrely agile and adept at hiding so catching one was difficult, however, all male Marsh Rats have a fatal flaw, and that is they will go to where there's a female Marsh Rat. If one isn't close by, then they don't mind traveling thousands of kiloters to find one.

This was the thod the boar used in crossing this forest. It might be odd but it's very effective. These guys don't rely mainly on their senses when going after their female counterparts, so the formation was useless against them.

Grey smiled before nodding to Void who disappeared from the boar's shoulder and appeared on his own.

"See you next ti." He turned around and left.

When the group got to the entrance of the forest, Grey set up a teleportation array there. In case things didn't go as planned, they could easily co back here.

When they entered the place, they let the rat go, and it imdiately started running in a particular direction.

Grey placed a leash on it so it wouldn't go too far away from where they were. Before long, they had gone past where they were stuck the last ti.

While they were going, Grey suddenly sensed so that made him stop moving. The sensation was coming from deep in the forest.

"What's wrong?" Reynolds asked when he saw him stopping.

"Let's take a quick stop. I feel like there's sothing here." Grey said to the others.

They nodded and followed behind Grey.
