Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1951: Terrifying Outcome

Some kilometers away from the explosion.

Grey was staring at the light show like it was a work of art. The impact of the explosion shocked him as he did not think it would be this massive. He had always known making a six-colored fusion orb would be deadly, he just did not expect it to be this dangerous.

Behind him, the Man was panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at the light show.

His gaze alternated between the light show and Grey, wondering how an Eighth stage Sovereign was capable of using such destructive force. If he did not see it himself, he would have never believed it.

‘Is this boy still human?’ This question popped into his head, after the question came, another question came; if he’s already powerful at this state, what level of strength will he show once he gets to the Peak of even the Half God Plane?

This was a question he could not reply to, filled with curiosity, he could not help to look forward to Grey’s future. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was very likely that Grey would definitely become the strongest powerhouse of the Human Race in some years time. He had heard of how Grey was growing at lightning speed, which meant there’s a possibility within a few years, he would be able to get to the Peak and even touch the boundaries of the God Plane.

He genuinely believed if anyone could finally break through to the God Plane, it would definitely be Grey. If at the Eighth stage he could already use such power, there was no way he would not be able to use strength above the Half God Plane when he gets there. At that time, it would only be a matter of time before he finally breaks the shackles and becomes a God Plane Elementalist, something that has not happened in tens of thousands of years.

The light died down while he was still in thoughts, looking in the direction, he wondered, ‘There is no way that guy survived that, right?’

Grey rushed in the direction of the explosion, hoping to see the outcome of his attack. The Man did not fall behind, rushing after him. He, too, wanted to see if the Gnome managed to survive, even though he was confident there was no way anyone below the Half God Plane would be able to survive it. The only reason he was a little skeptical was due to the fact that the Gnome was in an enhanced state at the time of the attack, so there was a small possibility he might have survived it. Although the chances were not that high, it was still something they had to check out on their own.

It took the duo only a few seconds to travel the distance of a few kilometers, seeing the impact of the explosion, the Man sucked in a deep breath. A large over eight hundred meters crater had formed in the region, everything in that region wiped clean off. Not only that, even the surrounding two kilometers was clearly affected as the trees and even the stream that was close by dried up.

They did not focus their attention on that, both searching for the remains of the Gnome. It did not take long for them to sense a feeble aura coming from somewhere in the large crater. The aura was covered by rocks, making it hard for them to notice the owner when they came.

Grey flew down, stopping around two hundred meters away before using the earth element to move the rocks away. He might be certain his attack did significant damage to the Gnome, yet there was no sure thing in this world. If he got to close and the Gnome managed to survive, then he would be in danger if he got too close. There was no harm in being extra cautious.

After moving the rocks away, the Gnome came into view. During the explosion, the Gnome was around three meters tall, giving him a large frame compared to their usual one meter tall figure. Right now, the Gnome had lost both legs, an arm was missing, and a large chunk of his stomach was missing, his organs bare for all to see. His chest also caved in. The sight shocked both Grey and the Gnome, and the fact that the Gnome still managed to stay alive after such severe injuries was a testament of how tenacious he was.

The Gnome was covered in blood, breathing with immense difficulty. The condition of the Gnome showed that he only delayed the inevitable, there was no way he would be able to last long. He might have survived the fatal attack, but it was only for a short moment. If Grey and the Man did not come, the only chance of the Gnome surviving was if another Gnome came within a short moment, or else he would be dead in a matter of thirty minutes or so.

The Gnome struggled to open his eyes, only to see the face he never wanted to set his eyes on again. He almost wished he died from the attack at the sight of Grey’s face. He tried to speak, only to cough up blood, the more he tried, the more blood coughed up.

Grey’s eyes were emotionless, he had never felt pity for Gnomes nor Necromancers. If he had the chance, he would wipe them off the face of this world. Of course, this was only a pipe dream.

The Man looked at the Gnome’s state and shook his head, making a mental note never to offend the Dawson Family. As if Lucas Dawson was not enough deterrent, they went ahead to create an even more impressive monster. The Man felt more fear towards Grey compared to his father, Lucas Dawson, even though the former was not as strong as the latter at the moment. He would rather offend Lucas than provoke this monstrosity.
