Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 879 Fatal Attack

ʼI must kill him.ʼ The man concluded instantly.

He couldnʼt allow Grey to leave this place alive.

Grey on the other hand was contemplating some things. Before leaving, he took an Elemental Venerable talisman from the Faction, the talisman surprisingly had the light element infused in it, but it was only for healing purposes. He exchanged for it in case of any chances he got injured by someone above his Plane. Never did he think he would want to use it for attack purposes.

ʼWill it be able to hurt him?ʼ He thought internally as he looked at the man.

Although the usage of an attack power higher than the Sage Plane would cause some problems, since it was made with a talisman, the world would automatically send the talisman out, not bothering with Grey since he wasnʼt the one capable of the attack.

The man charged at Grey once again. He wanted to try and see if he wouldnʼt have to take the risk of getting thrown to another realm because of Grey. Since he was stronger, as long as he persisted, he would be able to kill Grey.

Also, he noticed Grey was using a secret technique to boost his strength. Although he didnʼt know the actual strength of Grey, he would find out once the time of the secret technique elapsed.

Grey continued fighting against him, using the light element in almost every attack. He didnʼt forget to create an inscription with the light element, and also make use of the lightning domain.

Void used the lightning element to distract the man as he fought against Grey.

Boom! Bang!

The waters churned as the battle intensified. Grey and the man were going all-out, while Void was making sure the man didnʼt beat Grey up too much.

The strength difference between Grey and the man was shocking. Given Greyʼs talent, he shouldnʼt have been dominated by the man since they were still in the Sage Plane, especially with the elements he had in his arsenal. However, the man had a clear edge over him.

Greyʼs figure was already bruised, but the light element has been able to help him recover quickly.

One hour went by in this fashion as the battle continued. Grey and Void were being beaten up, but they were very resilient.

The man was shaken to see that Grey was still in the Fusion State, even after so long.

ʼThereʼs no technique that can boost strength for this long. Itʼs impossible!ʼ He screamed internally.

This was not supposed to be possible. He hadnʼt been able to take Grey down, and neither had Grey been able to cause him any significant damage. Other than a few places where Grey had managed to use the light element to hurt him, he had been able to dodge most of the attacks.

Void was also trying to make sure he was making an impact in the battle, but the man was able to fight against the duo comfortably.

The man quickly came to the conclusion of killing Grey at the risk of being sent to another realm. He didnʼt care if he was thrown into the hands of his enemies, he had to ensure that the threat Grey was going to pose in the future didnʼt come to pass.

After doing some calculations, he estimated that he had around a quarter of a second before he was thrown out of the realm if he used the strength of an Elemental Venerable.

ʼThat should be enough, right?ʼ He questioned himself in doubt.

Greyʼs performance so far showed that he was not someone he could group with normal people. Grey was abnormal, in fact, he was beyond abnormal. If he made a wrong choice, he might regret it later on.

While the man was thinking of this, Grey was also thinking of using the talisman with him to good effect. He had already baited the man into thinking he didnʼt have anything of such a level, so if he allowed the man to come closer once again to attack, he would use it then.

The effect of the attack would be greater if the man was closer to him.

Both fightersʼ eyes gleamed with determination as they prepared to risk it all.

Void quickly understood what Grey wanted and retreated, he was already badly beaten, to begin with, so he was quite happy with retreating and healing up.

When he looked at the man, he could tell the man wanted to do something, but he didnʼt really know what.

Grey and the man charged at each other simultaneously, and the man had the advantage in speed.

When he got close to Grey, Greyʼs pupils changed drastically when he sensed the sudden increase in the strength of the man.

Boom!

A large explosion followed suit with a large bright light.

Void was pushed back by the impact of the attack. Everything happened so fast that he didnʼt even get the chance to see what transpired.

All he knew was that the attack the man used was something way above Greyʼs current level. It was most likely at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

ʼThis is bad.ʼ Void didnʼt need to see the end result to know the outcome of such an explosion would be detrimental to Grey.

He looked at the explosion with worried eyes. He could feel his connection with Grey weakening just from when the attack was unleashed.

A bright light shot out from the sky into the area of the explosion and forcefully took out a portion of the area. It was seemingly the place where the man was previously located.

Void saw the manʼs figure trying to escape, but he was trapped by the light and dragged away with it.

Void didnʼt see any signs of Grey since he was still in the range of the explosion, and he could feel their connection weakening as well. It hadnʼt even been up to a second after the attack.

ʼCrap!ʼ

All Void could do was wait till the explosion died down.
