Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1052 Heading Over To See Alice

Grey, Klaus and Reynolds used the opportunity to catch up. Grey used this time to hear more about how theyʼve been living since they separated, he listened to Reynolds more since he had met up with Klaus before heading to the Middle Continent.

Unlike Klaus, Reynolds had been very busy, going from one mission to another. Even though he had an Elemental Warrior that could help him fight above his regular stage, he wasnʼt as fortunate as Klaus who was overly valued in the Moonlight Faction. In fact, in the Raiden Faction, he wasnʼt the only one who was a high grade summoner. Of the members of the Raiden Faction, a new recruit in the Arcane Plane was also a high grade summoner.

Reynolds had always been hardworking, especially after he became friends with Grey and the supremely lucky Klaus. Alice was also hardworking, just like Grey. With the pressure of how quickly Grey advanced, all three of them seemed to have entered a period of rapid growth as well.

Of all four friends, Grey was the one who trained the most, after Grey, the next person was surprisingly not Alice or Reynolds, rather, it was the always carefree looking Klaus who trained the most.

When he first became friends with Grey and the others, he was soon influenced, especially with how fast Grey started to advance. He felt pressured when Grey inched closer to him in terms of strength each day and trained harder than he previously did.

….

”You guys have good stories.” Klaus sighed in depression. All he had been doing was sit and cultivate in a garden.

”Good stories? Weʼve almost died multiple times!” Reynolds snapped when he heard Klaus say good stories. In some of his missions, he was beaten until he fell into a coma. If not for a life-saving treasure he managed to obtain, he wouldʼve died as well.

”Those are thrilling, all Iʼve done is sit and cultivate. If not for the occasional spars I have with some of my friends in the Faction, I donʼt think I wouldʼve been able to remember what it means to fight.” Klaus looked a bit dejected when he said this.

Grey laughed while Reynolds sneered and said, ”As if youʼre not enjoying your time there?”

Klaus shook his head, at first when he thought of joining an all-girls Faction, he thought he would enjoy his time there while also getting stronger. But now, seeing so many beauties, he got a bit numb to it.

Grey burst out laughing when he heard this, he could see the pains in Klausʼ eyes.

”How do you guys think Alice is doing?” Klaus suddenly asked.

Reynolds and Grey stared at him.

”I donʼt think sheʼll be doing bad. Remember she has a Seelie with her.” Reynolds replied.

Grey also nodded, with a Seelie, she would advance faster and quickly improve her strength as well.

”Letʼs go see her.” Klaus suggested, it had been a while since they saw Alice.

Grey nodded when he heard this. Reynolds paused for a while before saying, ”Iʼll have to report my mission first.”

They didnʼt disagree with this and before long, Reynolds reported his mission and they all headed out. Alice joined the Asterope Faction, so that was their destination.

….

Some days later.

The group were in a town, they were getting closer to the Asterope Faction. Just like the Moonlight Faction and the Raiden Faction, the Asterope Faction was also located in this Region, but the distance was not small.

”Do you think sheʼll be there as well?” Klaus asked Reynolds who was sitting down close to him.

”Probably.” Reynolds replied.

Grey also nodded as well.

Just when they were about to head to the area of the Asterope Faction, they heard that the Asterope Faction was having a friendly spar with an opposing Faction.

Alice enjoyed battles, so she would want to participate in such a friendly spar. Since both Factions were rivals, there have been times where some people were killed. Such a spar was not a normal spar, but deadly to the extreme.

Grey knew that with Aliceʼs personality, she would definitely appear there.

”Then letʼs go, weʼve been here for too long.” Klaus stood up.

Grey and Reynolds laughed but stood up and followed as well. Klaus hated the town the moment they stepped in and had been urging them to leave.

….

Kilometers away from the town the trio stopped by.

”Hmph! Itʼs just a small scratch, she will definitely win.” A voice said.

The voice belonged to an Old man who was staring at the platform below him. He was a member of the Asterope Faction.

In the platform, Alice could be seen fighting against an Eighth stage Sage Plane Elementalist.

She was still in the Sixth stage, but she was holding her own against someone in the Eighth stage.

The young man in front of her was a Wind Elementalist.

”You should give up, I donʼt know why they would send such a weakling to fight against me.” the Wind Elementalist said in an arrogant manner.

Alice looked at the arrogant figure before her and stared at the slash in her left arm. If she reacted a second slower, she mightʼve been killed with a single attack.

”You think youʼre special because of that stupid thing?” The Wind Elementalist sneered and attacked again.

Wind blades appeared in front of Alice within a second. At the same time the wind blades appeared, a twister appeared in the place Alice was standing on.

A lightning struck after Alice was covered by the Wind Elemementalistʼs attack. The twister shattered while Aliceʼs figure shot out, dodging the wind blades. The lightning strike didnʼt stop there as it shot toward the young man. The Wind Elementalist dodged the attack and also attacked.

Alice blocked the attack with an ice dome and countered with fire arrows almost at the same time the Wind Elementalist attacked.

The fire arrows shot at the Wind Elementalist.

The Wind Elementalist just finished attacking and the fire arrows appeared within a short time he attacked.

A wind screen appeared on the body of the Wind Elementalist, but it cracked and he was sent flying.

The Wind Elementalist stabilized himself and looked at Alice, a little shocked. He never expected that she would be able to hit him.

”Interesting, Iʼll stop playing now.” He snorted and attacked again.

The suction force dragged Alice into a twister that was formed in front of her.

Alice didnʼt dare to enter like that and covered her body with both the ice and a lightning defensive wall.

When she entered the twister, multiple slashes appeared on the body of the defensive walls she set up, even the first one was starting to crack.

She gritted her teeth and suddenly stopped struggling with the twister, instead, she shot to the center, following the suction force. Her defensive walls could hold out for some time, but it wouldnʼt be able to help her if she stayed in the place for too long.

She was trying to go against the suction force, but now, she went with it and with her speed, she managed to get to the other side before her second defensive wall broke apart.

After leaving the twister, she appeared in front of the Wind Elementalist and attacked.

The Wind Elementalist dodged to the side and attacked.

Alice retreated and before people knew it, they had exchanged a few hundred moves.

Alice was fast, just like the Wind Elementalist, but she was a little lacking in terms of strength.

The Wind Elementalist had the upper hand in this exchange. Alice managed to hold out against him, but she was forced back repeatedly.

”Youʼre wasting your time, go back and save yourself the humiliation.” He sneered.

Alice didnʼt bother with his taunts and attacked once again. She was not one who liked speaking when fighting.

The Wind Elementalist snorted and attacked again.

The Seelie appeared behind the Wind Elementalist and attacked.

The Wind Elementalist sensed the attack a little late and was sent flying. His original attack just collided with Aliceʼs attack and it destroyed it.

ʼDamned thing!ʼ He cursed internally.

Alice took advantage of the opportunity and attacked again. The Wind Elementalist was sent flying in his direction, so wouldnʼt be able to dodge the attack coming his way.

The lightning bolt struck the head of the Wind Elementalist and he crashed to the ground.

Before his figure hit the ground, a tornado sprang up and covered him. Alice wanted to continue attacking, but she paused. A long spear made of the wind element shot at Grey. This wind spear looked solidified.

Alice recalled the Seelie to help with its ice ability.

Boom!

The ice spear hit the ice dome that cracks spread out with frightening speed. The ice dome shattered within a second.

Aliceʼs body was covered with lightning and she inched to the side. The ice spear missed her head by a slight margin.
