Affinity:Chaos



The area around Grey started to show signs of cracking and he noticed the fusion orb was shaking. Whatever the Space Elementalist was doing at the moment was messing with the elemental energy in the area, making it hard for Grey to keep the fusion orb stable. 

Seeing this, Grey decided to improvise. There was still the golden energy he acquired here, but he had barely used it since obtaining it. He wanted to see if he added it to the fusion orb, what reactions it would have. 

He had never attempted it before, but he was inspired during the battle and wanted to try it out now. 

Golden energy appeared on his palm and slowly started to merge with the fusion orb. The rate at which the orb was shaking started to increase, and before long, small arcs could be seen on the surface of the orb, it was no longer smooth. Thin threads of energy could be seen sticking out of it.

With the addition of the golden energy, Grey felt a shocking amount of power hidden within it, not just that, but it has regained its calmness, no longer showing any signs of wanting to fall apart. 

Grey chuckled to himself, elated by his quick wittedness. He would've been forced to discard the fusion orb by whatever the Space Elementalist did, but after adding the golden energy, it got stronger and more stable. 

He tossed the fusion orb in their direction, and just as it was getting closer, it vanished. 

All signs of the attack vanished, and the Space Elementalist tried to sense if Grey was using the space element to move the orb. However, try as he may, he was unable to sense anything regarding the attack. It was like it never existed. 

Even Grey had a somewhat confused look on his face. The attack he put so much into vanished just like that. 

Just as they were about to continue the fight… the Space Elementalist felt a powerful force hit his chest. A hole the size of the fusion orb appeared on his chest and accompanying it was an explosion that sent him flying. 

The Water Elementalist was left dumbstruck by the sudden turn of events. From the aura he sensed, he was certain that it was the fusion orb that vanished a second ago, but he didn't understand how it came back after disappearing. 

"What? How?" He questioned in disbelief. 

"Don't ask me, I'm still as shocked as you are." Grey replied, still stunned by what happened. 

When the attack reappeared, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. 

'This is a new discovery. Even I can't sense it, but it's still very much aware of its target.' He speculated.

He didn't know anything about how this attack works for now, but it is definitely going to be one of his hidden cards later on. With this, he can take anyone unaware. Well, once more people know about it, it wouldn't have that element of surprise any more, but it was still something worth having. 

The Water Elementalist rushed to where the Space Elementalist crashed and saw the large hole in the chest of the Space Elementalist.

The Space Elementalist was bleeding profusely from the hole, and even when he tried to open his mouth, blood was the only thing that came out. His internal organs were currently hanging out from the hole in his stomach. Not just his chest, but even his stomach was blown open. The force of the attack is something he didn't dare to imagine. 

First off, he was defenseless against it, and even though he tried to act quickly, he was still a bit too late and managed to only ensure his heart wasn't destroyed. He protected some other vital parts, but left the rest. 

Right now, he was feeling pains all over, but he kept his head focused on the main issue, he could get killed in such a state. He could barely fight at the moment, much less try to defeat Grey. 

"We're leaving." He managed to cough out this little words. 

The Water Elementalist nodded and used the water element to keep his body intact before picking him up. 

Grey, seeing this, took a step forward. He was still raring to go. 

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked coldly, his gaze on the wounded Space Elementalist.

"That garbage is dead, why don't we call it a day?" The Water Elementalist replied. 

"I'm sorry, I've moved on from that state. Remember I said the same thing before you two tried to kill?" Grey answered with a chuckle.

He said this after the Space Elementalist killed the Old man, but they refused and even tried to kill him. Of course he was not going to let them go now that all the advantages lays with him. He would kill them. This has always been how he was. 

"Kid, you're a foreigner. Don't make an enemy of the natives here, you will regret it." The Water Elementalist warned. 

"This is not the first time I'm making an enemy of natives in another realm." Grey snorted coldly. 

Even the Gnomes wanted him dead, who were these people he should be scared of? 

The duo realized Grey had no plans of letting them go. 

"Hmph! We'll see how you're going to make it out of here." The Space Elementalist said softly. He could sense the aura of other Elemental Venerables rushing to the place.

Although individually the people coming were not as strong as him or his partner, with that number, even he would be afraid.

"Anyone who dares to intervene will meet the same fate as you two. Remember, I only had an issue with people from the Tekik Family in a Town, the Old man intervened and he's dead now, you two did the same, and are about to face your deaths." Grey replied calmly. 

The duo looked at the Grey, the confidence in his words. 

'Anyone who intervenes will die, no matter who the person is.'
