Affinity:Chaos,1229 Drop It - Read free novels online

Grey and his group explored the place and barely got anything else that was good. He left the place and headed straight out of the hallway. There was no way forward, so he went back.

They appeared in the same Hall as they used to enter the place. The Hall had a few people present already, and Grey recognized two of them.

When they saw Grey, they wanted to approach him, but they stopped midway.

From their facial expressions, Grey knew they didn’t get anything good. Other than the dolls he gave to Cori, then the technique he got from the drawings, he also didn’t get anything much from the place.

Compared to what they had to face to get here, he was pretty disappointed at the reward. But he couldn’t complain, he knew he wouldn’t always benefit from these places.

Of course, Grey wasn’t foolish enough to believe that all of them didn’t get any good rewards. Even he got a top technique, there was definitely a probability that some of them must’ve gotten a good amount of treasures and just decided to hide it from others. They were all cunning people after all.

He didn’t leave and waited for others to appear. As time went on, more and more people started to come out. Of the twenty plus people who entered the place, only eighteen had made it out.

The golden robed man and his children were part of the people who had arrived. The youths from the Dawson Family were all out, and even the man Grey accused was out as well.

“Let’s be patient, if they do not come out within the next one hour we’ll leave.” The golden robed man replied calmly.

He was the one who brought them here, he didn’t want to abandon them just like that. He planned to wait for them for another hour and if they didn’t come out then, he didn’t mind leaving them behind. Besides, they knew the way out.

There’s a possibility that some of them got top treasures and didn’t want to come out in fear of sharing their treasures. Of the absent people, most of them were in the Seventh and Eighth stage. It was clear that they were either dead or afraid to come out.

….

One hour went by once again.

“Let’s leave, I’m tired of waiting.” Someone said angrily.

Only one person came out in that one hour, and the person didn’t speak after coming out.

The golden robed man opened his eyes and nodded. The time he promised was up, there was no use in waiting any longer.

They got up and just as they were about to leave, the doors which had been open since they came in slammed shut with a ‘bang!’.

“What’s happening?”

They were all alarmed at the sudden change.

The throne which had been untouched started to glow.

“It’s glowing.” Grey muttered.

During the time he had been waiting, his eyes had always been on the throne. To be honest, he coveted it, but he didn’t know how to take it, and the danger he felt from it was too serious. He was certain that he would die if he dared to touch it, so he just admired it from afar.

The others turned to the throne when they heard his words. Even without his words, most of them would’ve turned either way, the throne gave off a bright glow that only a blind person wouldn’t see it.

“Why is it glowing?” Someone asked, a bit fearful.

No one answered his question. They all came here together, so how did he expect anyone else to know the reason for the sudden glow in the throne?

‘Why do people like asking stupid questions in situations like this?’ Grey shook his head as he thought to himself.

The group was curious, but none of them walked close to the throne, they could all sense the threat of death from it.

Before long, an array appeared on it and it shot to the ceiling.

Everyone looked at it and was stunned by what they were seeing. In the ceiling, some creatures started to crawl out, these things were drawn on the ceiling.

When they first came in, they saw them, but they didn’t take it too seriously, after all, they were just drawings.

“This… what’s this?”

Fear started to show in the faces and voices of a few people.

A powerful voice came from the throne.

“Drop it.”

The people present looked at each other, stunned. They all took one thing or the other from the place, so they weren’t sure what the voice was speaking about.

Grey looked at the dolls in Cori’s hand and dropped them. This was the only thing he took. When they entered the other rooms, he didn’t take anything since they were of no use. Even Void and the bunny leader left them alone as they were of no use.

The voice spoke once again.

“Drop it.”

This time, the voice was starting to show anger and the creatures coming out of the ceiling were increasing.

“What’s it talking about?”

“Drop whatever you took from this place.” The golden robed man advised and dropped the things he got as well.

The others started to do the same. Before long, all sorts of treasures appeared on the ground and the eyes of others lit up when they saw some things a few people dropped. The golden robed man and Grey also took a glance at these things, although they were interested in them, they didn’t show it.

Grey wasn’t the greedy type, since these people got these things, as long as they managed to take them from here, he wouldn’t bother them. The only times he had done things like that were when he needed the items.

There were a few things of value there, but none of them could move him.

Void and the bunny leader were different though, their eyes lit up even brighter than the light coming from the throne.
