Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 889 Leave After Destroying

”That guyʼs a freak.” Alec sighed before looking at the people they rescued.

”Honestly though, did you go alone?” Void asked.

”Well, Nathan was around, but since he didnʼt come out after so long, I guess I was alone.” Alec replied with a shake of his head.

Eva raised her head on hearing Nathanʼs name being called up. She couldnʼt believe he didnʼt try to do anything. Thereʼs also the possibility that he was waiting for her execution before stepping out.

Nathan had never been the good type of person, he rarely cared about people who werenʼt close to him, so he wouldnʼt mind watching the others die, and only step out to save Eva.

”Heʼs not alone, thereʼs also someone with him youʼve seen before.” Alec said with a low voice.

”Who?” Void probed.

His guess was Foudre, but he couldnʼt be too sure since he had seen multiple people from the Pyrmond Faction here in the Lutra realm.

”Foudre.” Alec didnʼt hide the identity of the person.

”Good, heʼs the reason we came here.” Void replied with a cold voice, oozing with killing intent.

Alec thought about it for a while before saying, ”Itʼll be best if you settle this amicably, but if you canʼt, make sure the Faction Leader is on your side.”

”Donʼt worry, Greyʼs not going to do anything that will put him in a bad position with the Faction Leader.” Void replied.

They were speaking in a low voice when it came to this matter, so the others couldnʼt hear what they were saying.

”I still canʼt believe Grey caused such a huge impact. I mean, isnʼt he at the Second stage of the Sage Plane?” Alec couldnʼt help but ask when he saw the explosion.

”Third stage, heʼs at the Third stage now.” Void corrected.

”He broke through, after almost being killed? Is he even human?” Alec found this discovery to be shocking.

Most people would try to recover their previous strength after almost being killed, Grey on the other hand broke through with it. Is this something even possible?

”Honestly, I doubt that myself.” Void replied with a wry shake of his head.

Greyʼs improvement so far has been quite fast. Since halting at the Peak of the Origin Plane for so long, he had been advancing faster than he previously did while in lower Planes. One has to know that the higher the Plane, the harder it was for an Elementalist to break through, but the same didnʼt apply to Grey.

Alec was already on the verge of breaking through when they went for the competition, and if not for holding back, he wouldʼve broken through months before the competition. After the competition, he broke through immediately. He consolidated his cultivation stage and entered the Lutra realm. To him, his improvement had been fast, but Grey on the other hand had caught up to him, despite being a few months behind when he broke through to the Sage Plane.

While Void and Alec were talking about Greyʼs freakish improvement, he was currently in a heated battle in Kangs City.

His meteor descent caused great destruction to the city, and most of the inhabitants had either gone out of the city or were in the process of leaving.

There were two people in particular who were currently fleeing the city. If Alec was here, he would recognize them with ease, they were Foudre and Nathan.

Greyʼs strength alarmed them. They know for a fact that even together, they canʼt beat him.

When Grey stepped up, they watched him fight against the experts from the city, and the fact that he was fighting against over ten Peak Sage Plane experts alone showed that he wouldnʼt have any problems dealing with the two of them.

Thinking of the fact that they nearly killed him when he was injured, they started to sweat buckets.

Grey on the other hand had no idea they were in the city. He had to focus fully on the battle if he didnʼt want to sustain any injuries.

The Mayor brought out a large halberd which was covered with spikes and he slammed it in Greyʼs direction.

An earth wall appeared in front of Grey to block the attack, but cracks appeared on the wall since the strength of the attack was too much.

The Mayor slammed it down again, hitting the wall repeatedly.

The others used their elemental attacks to force Grey back.

Grey didnʼt panic as he focused on blocking or evading their attacks. He already had his inscriptions out and was using them as a means of attacking.

The Mayor and his entourage were enraged, following the fact that Grey destroyed their city right in front of them. It would cost a lot to fix the city, and even more to get it back to its previous level.

Attacks of different elements flooded the sky, all aiming at a single individual.

Grey, seeing that things were getting serious decided it was time to leave. As much as he enjoyed fighting, the number of top opponents was too much for him. Even if he occasionally sends some of them flying, he wonʼt be able to kill anyone.

In a short battle, he seemed to have a certain advantage, but as the battle continues, he would be on the losing end for sure.

The Space Elementalists amongst the group noticed Grey was working on a long teleportation tunnel and quickly tried to intercept it.

”Move aside, you canʼt stop me from leaving.” Grey said coldly before unleashing his fire domain at the two Space Elementalists.

This time, he used the extreme cold of the domain, freezing the Space Elementalists for just over a second.

The Mayor and the others rushed over to where he was, but before they could get to him, he was gone.

His original plan was simple, stall them, and after some time, leave. He wanted to kill a few when they were fighting, but the chance didnʼt present itself, unfortunately, so he left. Besides, his target had been met.
