Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1337 Remarkable But Proud

On the side of the path were corpses, and all of them looked very lifelike. To a certain extent, these corpses could be said to be staring at them.

The feeling they got from the corpses was one of dread. It was as if their souls were being stared at by a supreme being they couldn't hide from.

Grey and Void, who were at the forefront, got most of the attention from the corpses, and after a few seconds, they sensed the eyes of the people watching them from the side. Void paused when he saw the people staring at them, and without hesitation, he vanished, hiding in Grey's storage space.

Unlike Void, Grey didn't have anywhere to hide. He felt these weren't just corpses, even though they were apparently dead.

He stopped his movements and waited for the others to get to where he was standing. Other than staring, the corpses weren't making any movements, making Grey sigh in relief. He knew they might've been in danger if the corpses had made other movements.

"What do you think they are?" Sylvia's brother asked, a little worried at how intensely the corpses were watching them.

"Dead, that's what they are." Elaris regained her posure and replied. She had studied the corpses; other than moving their eyes in their direction, they weren't doing anything else.

Grey, who was ahead of them, had also e to this conclusion, but he decided since Void was with him, there was no use in leaving the others behind. Although it looked strange, he wasn't the type that would take all the treasures and leave nothing for the others. The only reason he rushed in was to stop Void from taking everything.

"You're no longer rushing to take everything?" Elaris asked with a mocking smile before adding, "Don't tell me you're scared of dead people."

Grey didn't bother with her and turned his attention to the path before him. He could sense some danger in front of him, but he was confident it was something he would be able to deal with.

Since he was already ahead of them, he continued leading the way.

Elaris scoffed and followed behind him, ensuring a reasonable distance between them. She wanted Grey to be the one to deal with all the troubles that would later surface.

'Being greedy es with a cost.'

She felt the only reason Grey stopped was because he realized the danger ahead of them and didn't want to deal with it alone.

Elaris wasn't the only one with such thoughts. Sylvia's brother had the same opinion about Grey. After all, he rushed in the moment it was open, only pausing after getting far away. He only felt Grey would wait for them because he wanted their help to resolve the problem.

"You want me to solve the problem for you? Heh! You must be dreaming." Grey chuckled and advanced calmly.

He knew his actions were wrong, but the fact that Elaris wanted to take advantage of him was something he would not let happen. Since he wanted to act smart, he didn't mind playing with her.

Before long, the danger he sensed ahead appeared. It wasn't something that was difficult for him to handle, but he wanted Elaris and her group to suffer, except for Sylvia's brother.

A large Bull was blocking the path ahead, and it was at the Peak of the Seventh Rank.

When it caught sight of Grey, it charged at him.

Grey didn't flinch, and with a soft movement, he dodged the Bull, taping it on the side.

The Bull suddenly disappeared, and Sylvia's brother was on the spot the Bull was previously standing on. Grey had his hand across his shoulder with a soft smile on his face.

The Bull, on the other hand, appeared on the spot where Sylvia's brother was previously standing.

Its sudden appearance shocked the group, especially Elaris. But then she recalled there was someone proficient with the space element in the group; the person was ahead of them.

'Such a hateful fellow.' Elaris cussed internally and immediately acted, forcing the Bull to go behind them.

She was the strongest and acted first. Luckily, Sylvia's brother stood behind them, so it wasn't hard for them to negate it when it turned around.

She sent the Bull flying, but with its sturdy skin, it didn't feel any pain from the attack. It opened its mouth, and a fiery light shot at the group.

Grey made a move this time. He didn't want it to seem like he was trying to have any sort of conflict with Elaris and the others.

He appeared before them, and his blue flames rose, shielding the others from the attack of the Bull.

The Bull charged forward when it saw its attack wasn't effective.

Grey was standing posed when the Bull was within fifteen meters of him, he took a step forward, planting his right foot on the ground.

The charging Bull suddenly felt its large body pulled by an irresistible force. Due to the suddenness of the attack, it could not defend against it even though it possessed tremendous strength.

The Bull fell to the ground, and Grey used the earth element to imprison it. With its entire body held down, it was unable to break free. If it had been standing, then the chances of breaking free would've been high, but in a situation like this, it was almost impossible to escape from Grey's clutches.

"You guys alright?" He asked after incapacitating the Bull.

"You're the one who sent the Bull here. I wonder if you want us to be alright." Elaris said.

Grey refusing to take her with him at first, and then his unwillingness to help her with the mark gave her a wrong impression of him. Yes, she wasn't going to deny that Grey was remarkable, but she also felt he was prideful.

Grey wanted to speak, but refrained. He didn't have the time to argue with her. He shook his head and walked closer to Sylvia's brother, who was still where Grey left him.
