Affinity:Chaos

The arena was filled to the brim with people discussing the upcoming event and possible war. Grey and his friends were regarded as betrayers of the empire. Of course the people didn't know what they did, but since the Emperor declared them fugitives, so it was. 

The Mayor of Frost City was present, looking around. He was a little excited because he felt greatly humiliated when Grey not only beat him up but sent him to the Emperor as an errand boy. 

He was over five hundred years old, and he couldn't even compete with a youth who wasn't even twenty years of age. When he came back with the crippled royals, the Emperor flew into rage, almost killing him. If not for the fact that he was already close to the Peak of the Overlord Plane, and he had been loyal to the empire for years now, he would've been killed instantly. 

The Starlight Academy was present, as well as the Principals from the other Academies. A few familiar faces showed up as well, such as Jonas who was with the members of the Starlight Academy. There were also a few faces from the Lunar Academy Grey and his friends were acquainted. The first summoner they saw was also present there, Damian. 

Although the arena was filled up, the stars of the show hadn't arrived yet. Grey and his friends were still in the castle, waiting to be called upon. 

Old man Gerald had already told them of his arrival at the arena, waiting for them to show up. 

Grey told the others of the crowd in the arena, and Klaus couldn't help but sneer. 

"Hmph! A bunch of morons. If I'm given the chance, I'll blow up the place," Reynolds said coldly. 

"Do you think things will go smoothly for them?" Grey asked. 

"Not entirely. The other empires must've heard of the execution as well. Presently, we could be said to be treasures, very valuable treasures," Klaus replied calmly. 

"All we have to do is to stall as long as we can. If possible, I can use my special technique and take us to the location where the war is taking place. At least before they could catch up, we should already be close to the other empires," Grey said. 

"If you can take us for such a long distance, then it's best you find a way to take us away from the war. It'll be too risky if we were to get caught again," Alice advised. 

Klaus and Reynolds nodded their heads, agreeing with Alice. 

Grey closed his eyes for some time, seemingly thinking of what was the best cause of action. 

"Fine, I'll contact the Principal so they could leave beforehand," He said after a moment of deliberation. 

Due to Void's havoc the previous day, he had managed to almost complete his teleportation array as well. If he used the Fusion State, he could almost instantaneously complete it while activating it. It will take at most a few seconds. His only prayer is that the old men didn't catch up to them before they were transported away. 

When the Principal got the news from Grey that they would be escaping in a few minutes, he was slightly worried. 

No one knew of the havoc that Void had caused in the castle, so they naturally still felt that was the most secure location in the entire empire. 

The Principal stood up decisively, along with the two Instructors. Since Grey said he would be teleporting out of there, then he was confident he could. For some reason, he had developed some sort of confidence in Grey, just like Grey's friends. 

With the time of the execution drawing nearer, the people in the castle became increasingly active. Occasionally checking on Grey and his friends. 

'Void, be prepared, we'll be leaving soon,' Grey's voice rang out in Void's head. 

Void who was casually relaxing in the separate space he created opened his eyes and a glint flashed through it. 'Finally, I guess I still have time to take that one,' 

He peeked out, staring at the sky. A smirk appeared on his face before disappearing. 

Grey told him to distract the group of old men, so they wouldn't be able to sense them until it was too late. 

Void naturally agreed and planned to use his domain, covering the entire castle. Even though he was not on the same level as the old men in terms of strength, he knew he could use the help of the domain to easily get out of their encirclement or even teleport to hundred positions in a matter of a second. 

In the main hall. 

The Emperor turned to look at everyone, "It's time," 

He rose from his seat, heading in the direction of the left-wing of the castle. He was followed by his entourage. 

At the same time he stood up, Grey opened his eyes as well in their room. 

'Void, it's time.' 

The moment Void got the command from Grey, he spread out his domain, covering over a six hundred meters radius. 

The second the domain was spread out, he started teleporting to different positions, this time, he not only appeared, but he would release an attack that would cause a loud explosion. 

In a second, over ten explosions rang out simultaneously, halting the movements of the Emperor and his people. 

The old men, as well as the Sage Plane Elementalists in the castle hurriedly came out from their hiding position. Rushing towards where the explosions occurred. 

The twins were the only ones who managed to get to the last place Void destroyed. It was none other than the tomb of the royals. 

"Such disrespect! I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!" The enraged roar of the old man spread out in the entire castle. 

Void was sending them hysterical, and they almost couldn't contain their emotions any longer. 

Just as they were about to move, they sensed something from the left-wing of the castle. And their expressions dropped.

"Oh no, someone is taking the prisoners away," The old man rushed in the direction Grey and his friends were staying.
