Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 883 Who Took Him?

The figure standing outside was a close friend of Nathanʼs, and he was there when Grey embarrassed him.

If Nathan had any ill will towards Grey, then this young man also did the same. And unlike Nathan, had he been the one who found Grey, he wouldʼve killed him without a second thought.

Alec was not only protecting Grey, but he was also putting himself in harmʼs way. He was still in the Third stage of the Sage Plane, and these people were all in the Mid or Late stages of the Sage Plane. If Nathan really wanted to, he could force him to leave Grey alone and kill him, but knowing that he couldnʼt kill Alec, he didnʼt take the risk.

This guy, on the other hand, had a very powerful figure amongst the top Elders, and there was a chance that he might be able to get them to help him out if he caused any trouble. Besides, it is common knowledge that a dead genius was useless.

As long as Grey was dead, he was useless, and the Faction might only punish this young man, but they wouldnʼt want to lose another genius after losing Grey. Well, all these were merely Alecʼs speculations. If the Faction Leader took Grey as importantly as he felt he should take him, then killing this young man, as well as his backer, was very possible in anger.

The young man looked at Alec with cold eyes, ”Can I see him?”

”No, leave.” Alec replied with a calm expression.

”Hmph! Move aside.” The young man moved closer to Alec.

And just as Alec was prepared to attack, he sensed a powerful attack surging his way. It was from the young man.

He tried to block the attack, but he was pushed into the cave by the impact of the attack. This young man was already in the Sixth stage of the Sage Plane, three stages above him, and he was a genius in his own right.

Alecʼs chances of defeating him were very slim.

Inside the cave, Grey was still unconscious, unable to open his eyes. His beating heart was still very slow, which signified his unconscious state. He still hadnʼt recovered enough to even heal on his own.

”Foudre, whatʼs the meaning of this?” Alec asked coldly.

”Iʼm only testing how powerful the previous strongest Overlord Plane Elementalist from the Faction is, Iʼm quite impressed.” The young man referred to as Foudre replied nonchalantly before looking at Grey.

”Howʼs he still alive?” He was slightly taken aback when he saw Greyʼs condition.

Grey hadnʼt recovered much from how he was when Nathan found him, so he still had the same horrendous look.

”Itʼs none of your business. Leave.” Alec stood in front of Grey. His intentions were clear, if you want to get to him, then you have to pass through me.

Foudre smiled before looking at Alec, ”Thereʼs no use bothering with him, heʼll die soon enough anyway.”

Alec heaved a sigh when he saw this, but he was still vigilant. He couldnʼt let his guard down. However, if Foudre wanted to leave Grey alone, then he would be happy since he wouldnʼt have to bother about fighting him.

Foudre turned around and walked to the exit of the cave, just as he got there, he turned around and unleashed a powerful fire attack.

”Why not bury him here? Itʼs not that bad.” He snickered as he attacked.

Alec was prepared for something like this and tried to block the attack. With his quick reaction, he was able to block most of the attack, but his pupils enlarged when he saw another attack heading over to Greyʼs unguarded body.

Foudre only used this attack to distract him while his true intention was still to take out Grey.

Alec screamed in anger as he tried to rush over to where Greyʼs body was located, but it was too late. The attack struck the place and exploded.

Given Greyʼs previous injuries, even an Overlord Plane Elementalist would be able to kill him with an attack, much less a Sage Plane Elementalist like Foudre.

”You coward, why didnʼt you attack him when he was in a good condition?” Alec yelled angrily.

”I like using underhanded tactics, not everyone should be noble, the sooner you get that into your head, the better for you.” Foudre laughed as he said.

He wasnʼt even scared of what he might face once he leaves this place. To him, Greyʼs death wasnʼt enough to get him in trouble. Besides, Grey was already very close to deathʼs door. He could just say Grey died from the attack and Alec was trying to pin the blame on him since they had a misunderstanding some time ago.

Some people witnessed their conflict, so it was very easy for him to get witnesses to defend his claim.

Alec stared at him coldly, ”Iʼll kill you if he dies, put that at the back of your head.”

”Hehe, do you think Iʼll take a threat from you seriously?” Foudre laughed.

The explosion from the attack died down, but Greyʼs figure was not in the place it previously was.

”Eh?”

Both Alec and Foudre exclaimed in surprise. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇ ᴡᴇʙ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.

Even though Grey didnʼt block the attack, it wasnʼt enough to burn him to ash.

”What did you do?” Foudre looked at Alec coldly, he recalled Alec was also a Space Elementalist and could easily teleport Grey out of there.

Alec looked at Foudre but didnʼt respond, he was just as surprised as Foudre. He tried teleporting there, but Foudreʼs attack destabilized the space element. If he tried to teleport, then he risked being thrown into the chaotic space, or even worse, dying.

”I was the one who took him out. Donʼt worry, heʼll kill you once he wakes up.”

They heard a small voice from outside the cave, it was almost like that of a child.

Alec had heard this voice before and was able to guess who it belonged to, Void. He couldnʼt help but heave a sigh of relief.

Void was very close to Grey, and although he didnʼt know how powerful Void was, he knew he wasnʼt ordinary.
