Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1308  Objective Achieved

Boom! Bang!

Klaus and Reynolds slammed into a tree simultaneously, but they didnʼt dare to stop. With the help of the bunny leader, they were able to leave the place before the others could get close to them.

Their objective was simple, keep these guys busy for as long as possible. They knew Grey would be coming soon, and once Grey came, they might be able to kill another one of them. Klaus didnʼt like the way the Second Prince was talking, so he would like it to be the Second Prince.

”How do they keep escaping so fast?” The Second Prince asked, stunned.

From the last attack Klaus and Reynolds took, they were supposed to at least stop for a second or two, but the duo seemed to have continued running without even stopping to process the pain they had just taken. It was as if they were immune to it.

This wasnʼt the first time the duo had been hit, and just like the other times, they had managed to escape from their planned encirclement. If things continue in this fashion, they donʼt believe they would be able to capture them.

What made the situation worse for the Gnomes was that they wanted to make sure they didnʼt kill the duo, so they had to hold back.

”Are we holding back too much? Or are they just stronger than what we thought?” One man at the Peak asked.

”Everyone, send your puppets after them, even if it means sacrificing one or a few, we must ensure they do not escape from us the next time we make contact.” Another man said.

The group agreed to the manʼs words, Klaus was still cussing at them which was quite infuriating.

….

On Greyʼs end.

Boom! Bam! Bang! Crash!

The battle they were fighting was of high intensity.

The leader of the Gnome group was strong, and so was Grey. Grey had so many things he could use against the man. However, the man was very powerful. His water element was already very strong. Grey felt the only people he knew with better control over their water element were his mother and Klaus. Klaus might be more focused on the ice attribute, but after learning how to use the water pressure from the deep ocean, his control over the water element was impressive. If not for the cultivation stage advantage his mother had over Klaus, he wouldʼve said Klaus was a better Water Elementalist.

The man paused after taking a hit from Grey, he took another glance at the young man standing before him, he didnʼt know what to say. Grey had far exceeded his expectations.

”Kid, the offer still stands. The Emperor will definitely forgive you if you join us.” The man said.

”And like the last time, Iʼm not interested in joining you guys.” Grey attacked after replying, he was concerned about the well-being of Klaus and Reynolds. Alice would be fine since Void was there. If Void was the one who was with Klaus and Reynolds, he wouldnʼt be too bothered, but given the bunny leaderʼs laziness, he was a little afraid it might act a little too late.

Grey moved closer to the man, and just when the man was about to attack, he felt a terrifying force pull his body towards the ground. He didnʼt expect it and he lost focus.

Greyʼs attack followed the man down, and so did he. Before the man could get himself, Greyʼs fire orb struck the man, sending him flying down with an even greater force.

The attacks didnʼt stop there, Grey teleported there and wrapped his leg with three different elements, focusing more on the earth element to make sure the force in his legs would be horrifying. He kicked at the back of the man, and the force with which the man came crashing down tripled.

Bang!

The man slammed into the ground with shocking speed, creating a large crater. A large dust cloud rose into the sky.

Grey stood in the air, observing the ground where the man crashed into. He knew this wouldnʼt be enough to take out the man, but it was enough to injure him.

He squinted his eyes when he saw a figure charging at him with lightning speed. Taking an attacking pose, he was about to unleash another powerful attack when his eyes widened. Without another word, he hastily retreated.

The figure coming at him was not the man, rather, it was a puppet. He didnʼt need to wait to see the reason the puppet was charging at Even with Greyʼs speed, he was still caught by the impact of the shockwave. He couldnʼt use the space element since the shock him, from the energy it had amassed, it was clear what the man wanted to do.

Boom!

The puppet self-destructed, causing a powerful wave to spread out.

Even with Greyʼs speed, he was still caught by the impact of the shockwave. He couldnʼt use the space element since the shock wave would disrupt the tunnel putting him in more danger, so he had to rely on his speed.

Grey was very fast, but the attack was faster.

Greyʼs figure, like a broken kite, flew through the sky before crashing down.

Luckily for him, he still had the armor with him to protect himself from any unexpected attack.

Bearing the full brunt of a Peak Venerable self-destructing was no joke. Most people at his level would not be able to survive it, much less even stand back up. But Grey was able to stand up after a few seconds. The hole he created after crashing down was well over four meters deep.

When he climbed out of the hole, he noticed a figure flying in another direction as fast as it could. It was none other than the man. Apparently, after self-destructing his puppet, he didnʼt have any plans of fighting with Grey any longer.

To him, he had achieved his objective and the others must have gone out by now. Unbeknownst to him, Grey knew about their plans and had made the appropriate plans to stop them from going anywhere. So the manʼs efforts were useless.
