Affinity: Chaos
Chapter 397: Let's Help Them!
"Haha,"
Grey laughed out loud unconsciously, attracting the attention of the people who were around him.
Klaus was still the same, cursing at the slightest disagreement.
"Hmph! It doesn't matter what you want, the only way for the rock to regain its lost essence is if you were sacrificed." The old man snorted, he looked at Klaus coldly before adding, "Don't worry, you wouldn't die, we're only going to sacrifice your cultivation."
"Heh! Keep spouting nonsense let's see if I don't make you lose some teeth," Klaus retorted, not scared.
With the increase in his stage, he was confident in being able to hold his own against someone at the Peak of the Origin Plane. This old man looked to be at the peak, so he wasn't really scared of him.
'Dammit! If only the people who came to call me weren't that many, I'd have easily escaped!' He cursed inside.
To be honest, he didn't really come here because he had a bottom line, he's Klaus, he doesn't have a bottom line, as long as it's to his and his loved ones benefit, then he didn't really care.
When the people came to call him while he was still soaking away in the icy pool, there were over twenty of them, this was the real reason he followed them back to the town. Besides that, his father, Instructor Blake and Delia were still in the town, and that's the only way they could quickly rescue him.
"Cease him, we'll see if he can still keep speaking after we've offered him to the rock," The old man said before walking towards a well in the town's square.
After getting to the well, he tapped on the side of the well, and…
Rumble!
The well shook, not just the well, but even the ground shook as well.
Klaus who was watching the old man from the side suddenly felt a familiar icy energy.
"It must be the treasure," He muttered to himself.
A look of adoration appeared in the eyes of the townspeople, it was like they were awaiting the presence of a god. Some of the younger ones even fell to their knees.
Their actions surprised Grey, as well as Klaus.
In the tea shop, Oliver and the others' attention was focused in the town's square since Grey went over.
When they felt the ground shaking, their expressions couldn't help but change.
"Be prepared to take them out of there at any given time," Oliver ordered Blake.
"Yes Teacher," Blake nodded.
Things aren't as simple as it previously was, so there was no way they could sit by and watch Klaus and Grey get hurt by something which has been said to kill people at the Peak of the Overlord Plane.
Back at the town's square.
Grey felt the same icy energy he felt when he first stepped into the town, and for some weird reasons, he wanted to absorb more of it.
'Strange,' He thought to himself while distancing himself a little further back from the crowd.
After hearing the story about this rock, he couldn't take the risk of going close to it. Klaus was able to absorb it from some distance away from the village and was able to gain a boost of two stages within an hour or so, this goes to show how powerful it was.
One could only imagine how quickly Klaus would've advanced if he was absorbing it from such a close distance.
Grey suddenly smiled, while looking at the townspeople with a pitiful gaze, knowing Klaus, he would definitely try to absorb it again.
A small white rock finally rose up from the well, floating around one meter above the well, while giving off intense icy energy.
Some of the people here who weren't from the town shuddered and quickly started retreating further away from the town's square.
Before long, there were only about fifty people or so in the town's square, and other than Grey and Klaus, the rest were from the town.
"Bring him closer," The old man said.
Just as the people who surrounded Klaus were about to push him forward, something strange happened. The white rock emitted a mythical glow, and to the surprise of all the townspeople, the icy energy in it started depleting at an insane pace.
The icy energy formed two strands of thick essence that were visible to the human eyes, and each shot into two different people.
One of them was the criminal who was surrounded by the townspeople. When they followed the line of the second strand, it went behind them, to a handsome young man.
Initially, most of the townspeople were already secretly praising Klaus as the most handsome man they had ever seen, but this young man seems to be in a league of his own. They almost couldn't believe that someone could be this handsome.
Some of the people were in awe, but that awe quickly changed to hatred when they realized what was happening here.
"Thief!"
The same young man who saw Klaus screamed at the top of his lungs, quickly pulling everyone out of their stupor.
"Criminal! How dare you steal our treasure in front of us?!" Someone else yelled while pointing at Grey.
"And this one too, he is still trying to steal it after being caught the first time,"
All the people started pointing fingers at Grey and Klaus.
Klaus had a surprised expression on his face when he saw that all too familiar good-looking face.
"Haha, buddy! You're here. Come quick, let's ste… I mean, let's help these people resolve their long-time problem," Klaus laughed out loud.
Grey's mouth was currently twitching vigorously, he came here to gloat at Klaus, not join him in stealing the essence energy from the white rock!
What was even more annoying was that he wasn't even actively trying to absorb it, the stupid thing was coming on its own accord. It was almost like there was something inside him that was attracting it.
"They know each other? They must've been sent here by our enemies to weaken us. Kill them before they empty the icy energy!" The old man ordered with veins bulging out at the side of his head.
Only the town's Chief knew the sacrifice they had to make to get the stone to the current level it was, he could not sit by and watch these two rascals kill off the works of his ancestors.
