Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 251: Unexpected Change

Grey who was about to attack looked at Void a little puzzled, ‘What’s it?’

‘Weren’t those guys previously in the Arcane Plane?’ Void appeared on Grey’s shoulder, pointing his paw at the mayor’s guests who were from the Azure empire.

‘Yeah, did any… Oh crap!’ Grey nodded, and just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he noticed it.

The mayor’s guests who were previously in the Peak of the Arcane Plane were currently all in the First stage of the Origin Plane.

‘How…how’s this possible?!’ Grey couldn’t believe what was happening.

‘It must be a special technique since I was unable to sense them. The technique should also have a disadvantage because if they were truly above the Arcane Plane, they would have been able to sense us when we were watching from the window earlier.’ Void deduced.

‘Hmm, this is bad. We need to leave immediately.’

“Rey, full power, there’s trouble.” Grey said when he noticed Reynolds didn’t summon the Elemental Warrior.

“What’s up?” Klaus asked after casually destroying an attack sent towards them.

“Those guys, they just went from the Peak of the Arcane Plane to the First stage of the Origin Plane in a matter of minutes, and from the looks of it, they haven’t stopped increasing their stages yet.” Grey explained to the others.

“What?! I thought Void said it was safe?” Klaus asked with a shocked expression, not forgetting to take a glance at the mayor’s guests which shocked him even more because they had just gone from the First stage, to the Second stage of the Origin Plane.

“That’s…that’s… Fuck!” He exclaimed with a look of panic.

At this rate, the mayor’s guests would reach the Third stage in three or four minutes. There were ten of them! How the hell do they expect them to fight against that?! Especially when being bombarded by the mayor’s guards.

“Rey, why haven’t you summoned it yet?” Grey asked when he noticed Reynolds still haven’t summoned his Elemental Warrior.

“Shit! It hasn’t even been up to a minute.” Reynolds complained, before quickly trying to summon the Elemental Warrior.

“We need to leave before this gets out of hand.” Alice advised while sending out a barrage of lightning bolts towards the guards that were coming towards them.

Grey was well aware of this, but leaving wasn’t easy since they had to first find a way to escape from these guards. When he saw the number of attacks sent towards them, he quickly created an earth wall, hoping to block it.

The young man amongst the group looked at Grey and his friends a little surprised by their strength, although he couldn’t see their faces, he guessed they were above twenty-one years old yet. If he knew they were only around seventeen and eighteen, he would be extremely shocked.

“They should be killed, these are geniuses.” He said casually as he launched a large wind blade at the earth wall that Grey set up to block the attacks that the guards sent their way.

Bam!

The wind blade cut the wall, but it didn’t destroy it as the young man expected.

“Oh! They’re even better than I thought.” He said softly before preparing another attack.

Boom!

The attacks from the guards hit the wall before exploding. The large number of attacks made it hard for the earth wall to block them out, so a few seconds after the attacks exploded, the wall started crumbling down.

What followed was the complete destruction of the wall, but as soon as the wall was destroyed, Grey and his friends rained attacks at the guards.

Grey created a large fire blade that he slashed horizontally across the open ground, killing multiple guards, and wounding more. Klaus and Alice used aerial attacks, with both sending out ice shards and lightning arrows at the guards.

In a matter of seconds, their attacks had killed almost thirty guards. This was already almost half the number of guards that were here fighting against them.

Just when the guards thought it was over, a silver figure dashed into their midst, swinging a lightning spear left and right, harvesting more lives. It was none other than the Elemental Warrior! It was a one-sided massacre.

Void who was previously on Grey’s shoulder is currently nowhere to be found, it was unknown when he disappeared, and where he was currently located.

The mayor was shocked when he saw how quickly the intruders managed to kill over half of the guards that were here. Some of these guards were people he was barely stronger than, doesn’t that mean that he couldn’t defend a single attack from any of these people?

“Hmm, things aren’t as easy as it seems. There’s a high-grade summoner amongst them. Since there are two Lightning Elementalists, it’s unknown which of them is the summoner.” The older lady amongst the three ladies said with narrowed eyes.

Of the three ladies, two had identical looks, only being separated by the colors of their eyes, they even had the same heights. They were obviously twins, the twins looked to be in their early thirties, with long waist-length blonde hairs, they stood at around five foot four inches with hourglass figures. The third lady was a little older with black hair mixed with hints of grey, she was taller than the twins, with a chubby figure, unlike the twins.

Of the ten men, three had grey hairs, four with black short hair, two with brown hairs, and the young man who had striking ember shoulder-length hair. He looked to be in his later twenties with an athletic figure, standing at a height of six foot three inches.

“We’ll just kill them both and be done with it.” The young man said nonchalantly.

To him, Grey and his friends were unimportant people, they might be talented, but since they were part of the enemies, they are regarded as enemies as well.

The young man opened his left palm, and a small wind orb the size of a fingernail appeared above it. It quickly started rotating and before long, it looked like a wheel with spikes at the end of it.

“Go.” He ordered softly as the small spinning wheel left his palm, and headed straight for Grey and his friends.
