Affinity:Chaos,1234 A God's Bones - Read free novels online

Grey was standing in the same position, trying to get control of himself once again, but he was hearing a voice in his head which was repeatedly saying he should absorb the bones and become stronger.

According to the voice, these were bones of a God Plane Elementalist and his strength would skyrocket the second he absorbed it. It even used the case of the man Grey fought as an example, telling him that the man increased his strength due to just opening the coffin and absorbing the stored essence there. With the complete bones, the God Plane was not far from him.

In the darkness, Grey couldn’t see anything, but he could hear a voice.

“Absorb it. Take it all in. You’ll become stronger.”

“I’ve grown this strong without having to absorb any bones, why would I do that now?” Grey asked mockingly.

“A god’s bones is not something you should compare with that of others. Kid, this is an opportunity you shouldn’t let go. Just imagine how strong you will become after absorbing these bones.”

“Hmm, what do you want in return?” Grey asked with an expression of contemplating the offer.

“I like smart people.” The voice praised before saying, “You will help me come back to life.”

“And how will that work?” Grey asked. He was exceptionally calm while listening to the voice.

“You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll sort that out myself. I’ll give you some instructions and that’s all, first off, leave this place and absorb the bones.” The voice said.

Grey thought about it for a while, and while the voice waited for a positive response, he heard a resounding ‘No’ from Grey.

“I’m not interested in absorbing the bones of an old guy. Don’t worry, someone else might come and absorb your bones, I’m not interested in that.”

When the voice heard Grey’s answer, it snorted coldly and Grey felt a wave of energy rushing into his body, heading for his head.

Just as the energy was about to reach Grey’s head, it stopped and vanished without a trace.

Grey noticed the orb in him move, so he knew it was its doing.

“Kid… what’s that?” The voice asked, fear-stricken.

“You don’t need to know, now return to your coffin.” Grey took a step, and the previously dark place shone with a brilliant light.

Grey’s dull eyes regained their colors and he looked at Void and Cori who were on the side.

“Where’s the bunny?” He asked when he couldn’t find it.

“Hunting for treasures.” Void replied.

“Bring the bunny back. I’ll go return the coffin.”

Grey picked up the coffin and carried it back to the room the man took it from.

When he walked inside, he noticed the obvious space in the center. An erected rock laid there, there was also some writings on it. The letters were something he was not familiar with, but he still brought out a piece of paper and copied everything into it.

After a while, he dropped the coffin on the place that it was supposed to be.

….

While Grey was going through the ordeal of taking back the coffin, the others he left in the Hall were still fighting for their survival.

The strength of the beasts increased by a stage and went up to the Sixth stage. With the increased strength, a few of them started to get injured, those in the Seventh stage to the exact.

They could barely fight against two, much less when they had to fight against four or more.

When Grey was around, he was able to take off some of the pressure, but with him gone, there were more chances for the creatures to attack.

The golden robed man was more focused with keeping his children safe, so there was no way for him to help others out.

Those in the Ninth stage did the best they could, but there was no way to fight against all the creatures, there were just too many.

“How come they’re still attacking? Hasn’t he returned the coffin?” Someone asked after getting scratched by one of the creatures.

They saw the event when Grey took the coffin from the man. But after that, the screen went off. Now, they didn’t know what was happening at the moment.

They felt since Grey had taken the coffin, the attacks would stop. It had been a few minutes now, but the creatures were still attacking.

They were still worrying when Grey suddenly appeared. On seeing that they were still fighting, he wanted to go back, unfortunately, he wasn’t the one in control of it.

Without any option, he jumped into the battle.

The only good thing was that the creatures stopped coming out from the ceiling.

After a few more minutes of fighting, they managed to kill off all the creatures with no one getting killed. Some of them were injured, but it wasn’t too serious.

“What did the voice give you?” Someone asked Grey.

Grey looked at the man but didn’t reply. What he got wasn’t something he would tell these people.

After returning the coffin, the voice fulfilled its promise and took Grey to a treasure room. The thought of stealing everything entered his head, but he knew there was no way he would be able to take them. In the end, he was given a single bead. According to the voice, it contained a powerful attack. It didn’t tell him the strength of the attack, but from his guess, he felt it should be enough to wipe out a group of Peak Elemental Venerables.

The golden robed man looked at Grey, also curious about what he got. Seeing that Grey didn’t have any intentions to speak, he didn’t ask any further. With the creatures defeated, the door opened.

His children were behind him. The only person he trusted enough to protect them was Grey. With nothing attacking, he didn’t want to bother Grey.

Miya wasn’t concerned with her father as she walked in Grey’s direction.
