Affinity: Chaos

Void appeared behind one of the men and attacked decisively. He didn’t hold back, and the man was almost ripped apart by his attack.

The formation broke apart instantly. And Grey got access to his elements once again. Without even waiting for anything, he blinked to where the man he was fighting against and attacked.

The man was able to block Grey’s attack, but he was sent flying in the process. Grey continued his attack on the man, not giving him any chance to recover.

Void left the man who was already on the verge of death and attacked the next person. Since Grey and the people were already fighting, there was no use in letting them go.

Grey soon defeated the man, before taking on the last one. In the space of a few minutes, the duo had completely incapacitated the four men.

The ones attacked by Void were both on the verge of death. If they were left unattended, they would most definitely die.

”You evil beings.” One of the men Grey beat up said through gritted teeth.

”You’re calling us evil? Really?” Grey asked with an odd expression.

These were the same people who had been taking people away from towns, now they were calling him evil.

”If you know what’s good for you, you would let us go and leave this place now.” The man threatened.

”Actually, I’m quite interested in a few things. What’s with the different color of horns?” Grey pointed at the horns of one of the injured ones.

”If they die, then you will have to live a life worse than death.” The man continued threatening.

Grey looked at the man coldly before nodding to Void. To the surprise of the man, he saw one of his comrades disappearing bit by bit. This was Void’s special attack, spatial distortions.

Since the man was already in this state, there was no way he could fight against it. He could only watch as his body disintegrated bit by bit. What was worse was that he couldn’t even feel the pain of it.

”I don’t like being threatened.” Grey said after the man was completely disintegrated.

The man still couldn’t believe what he saw, Grey killed one of them with such ease and calmness. It was as if Grey didn’t feel anything.

”How could a child like you be this evil?” The man asked in horror.

”The world is not a friendly place, I understood this at a very young age.” Grey replied casually before pointing at the horns once again.

”Our horns are sacred to us, we can not tell you about it.” The man said.

Grey looked at Void and nodded at him once again. Void smiled and walked over to the last man on the verge of death. In the presence of the other two, he used his small paws to grab hold of the horns, and with a powerful tug, he dragged the horn out of the head of the man.

Even at death’s door, the man screamed from the excruciating pain he was going through as Void pulled out his horn.

Grey and Void were probably one of the most brutal people, and this group were unfortunate to have met them. Grey was even more annoyed after being stuck in that formation.

The man died after Void pulled out his horn.

Void’s eyes glittered as he stared at the horns, ”Good stuff.”

”Oh, it’s something valuable?” Grey’s interest was piqued when he heard Void’s comment.

”Yeah, it can be used to make elemental weapons. You know there are grades for the weapons, with this, you can get the highest tier of elemental weapons.” Void explained as he looked at the horns on the head of the other two.

Seeing Grey and Void’s gaze, the last two men shivered in fear.

”Where are you guys from?” Grey asked curiously.

”Why are you asking?” One of the men asked in fear.

They were afraid Grey would greedily attack their home and kill everyone there for their horns.

”I’m not a greedy person, I’m just curious, nothing more.” Grey replied casually.

”Well, our world is far from here.” The man answered after a few seconds of silence. He was afraid Grey would kill him if he didn’t answer, and from how the other man was shaking, he knew he would say everything if he died, so what was the use of keeping silent and falling in the hands of these beasts.

”Interesting. Why are you abducting people?” Grey nodded after hearing his words. He didn’t know if it was the truth or a lie, but he didn’t ask any further.

”This…” The man answering the questions froze. He was afraid of Grey’s reaction once he told him the reason for their actions.

”As I said, I’m more curious than interested in whatever you’re doing.” Grey said, he looked at the men before adding, ”I can still kill you and ask that guy, I believe he’ll respond to my questions quicker.”

”Unlike humans, we can not create elemental orbs since most of our essence lies in our horns, so we extract the elemental orbs from humans to aid the growth of our young geniuses.” The man explained with much difficulty, ”But I can assure you that this is the only time we’ve done it.”

”Oh wow!” Grey exclaimed unconsciously. He never thought humans would be used in the same manner they use the Seelies. If not for questioning these guys, he wouldn’t have known about it.

His only concern was how much of the truth they were hiding in their lies. From the man’s expression, he was a hundred percent certain that not everything he was saying was the truth, but he couldn’t be bothered with him. He had other things to worry about.

”Where are the people from this village then?” Grey continued his questioning.

”They…” The man’s eyes darted in different directions.

”I see, you’re only doing this to distract me to give the others the chance to escape, correct?” Grey quickly caught up with his plan.
