Affinity:Chaos



Bang! 

Grey crashed into the rock by the side, shattering it. 

The figure of the man was still hidden. No matter what Grey had been doing, he had not been able to force out the man. 

The man walked closer to him and Grey made use of his lightning domain, covering the entire area around him with lightning. 

He noticed a slight reaction in one part of the domain. Without hesitation, he attacked that place. That was the only place he could sense something abnormal. 

The attack proved to be fruitful, he felt a resistance. His attack was blocked by the man who was still in his invisible state, but the lightning from his attack covered the bother of the man. Not just that, but he used it to mark the man. 

While they were fighting, he hadn't been able to mark him, but now, he didn't let the opportunity go. The lightning acted as a distraction, his main arm was marking the man. As long as he could mark him, then he would be able to track him and attack him too. 

The figure of the man appeared for a short while due to the effect of the lightning. Although he blocked the attack, the lightning traced down the shape of his figure. When he noticed this, he chuckled and vanished once. 

Grey didn't show any frustration, rather, a large array appeared on the ground and lightning came from below, covering a large area. The moment the lightning appeared, Grey's figure vanished and he reappeared in another spot, attacking the place where the lightning had taken the shape of a human figure once again. 

His attack grazed the figure which took to the sky. 

Grey didn't feel any frustration. He was already starting to get the opportunity he wanted. Since the man didn't want to have a fair battle, he would use everything he had with him. With the large array of elements, as well as his abilities as an array master, he was certain that he could defeat the man. 

During the last attack, he infused the darkness and light element into the body of the man where his attack touched him. He knew the attack opened a small injury on his body. 

The man didn't expect anything like this since he was more focused on dodging Grey's attacks. 

While he was in the air, he saw a lightning rain falling down on him, and before he knew it, an ice hammer came crashing down on him. He moved to the side, his figure still visible due to the lightning as he dodged the attack. 

Unknown to him, the spot he was heading to, an earth hammer appeared all of a sudden and struck down with an even fiercer force than the ice hammer. 

He tried to block the attack, but he was hit by the sheer brute force and came crashing down. 

Grey sent a fusion orb into the place the man crashed. The orb exploded, causing further destruction to the place. 

The man groaned in pain, although subtle, it didn't escape Grey's sharp ears. 

'Hehe, I'll kill you.' Grey said internally. 

Of all the people he faced, this man was the only one he had the thought of killing. The reason for that, he hated him the second he knew he was the one behind the phantom. 

This man made someone hate him to the core due to the false accusations. If not for the fact that the golden robed man didn't take action, the man in the Eighth stage would've been killed because Grey didn't confirm his speculations. 

This was a blemish to his good name! He would not accept it.

The man didn't know the second Grey was aware he was the one who had the phantom, he decided to kill him. If he knew, he would've regretted why he brought out the phantom once again. 

In two separate occasions, he had unknowingly made Grey want to kill him. 

The crater that formed from the man's attack was over six meters deep and even wider. 

Grey walked to the place, and looked down on it. The man appeared, this time, he wasn't able to disappear instantly like the last time. 

He was in a slightly sorry state, but he wasn't seriously injured, just superficial wounds that were on his body. 

"Ki…" He opened his mouth, but he froze and spat out a large amount of black blood. 

Grey chuckled when he saw this and couldn't help but say, "Took long enough." 

"Wha… what did you do to me?" The man asked with enlarged eyes. 

Grey looked at him with cold eyes, "Do you know of miasma?" 

The man's countenance changed the second he heard Grey's question. Everyone who was powerful knew of miasma, they were powerful poisonous gas that can easily kill a top notch expert if they unfortunately take in a large amount. 

"You… you have that?" He asked, coughing in between his speech. 

"A little. I haven't used it for a while, but since you were proving too difficult to deal with, I changed my plan." Grey replied with a casual tone. 

When the man saw how Grey was speaking about miasma, he felt a chill run down his spine. 

He tried to think of when Grey used it on him, but he found it hard. 

"When?" He asked. 

"A few minutes ago, before you took flight." Grey replied. 

When he was attacking him, and placing the light and darkness element in his body, he used the opportunity to infuse a large amount of miasma into his body. The miasma was even more difficult to sense compared to the darkness and light element. 

The darkness and light element were used in the same way as the lightning element, as a form of distraction, hiding his true intentions. 

The miasma would not immediately kill the man, but it would place him in a state he wished he was dead. 

The man used his hand to cover his mouth as he coughed out more black blood. 

"You… you're evil!" 

"I know."
