Affinity:Chaos

Grey watched Klaus and the others speak for a long time without joining in, he was currently planning his next move.

Rustle…

'Huh?' He turned to look behind them, and a smile crept up on his face.

"Hey buddy, let's take a stroll," He tapped Klaus on the shoulder.

Klaus also seemed to hear the sound, so he quickly understood what was going on.

The duo stood up and started making jokes as they headed further away from the town.

Grey couldn't help but be surprised by the fact that the people from the town actually sent someone after them, what was more surprising was that the person was still in the Mid stages of the Origin Plane.

Even their chief who was at the Peak of the Origin Plane stood no chance, much less someone in the Mid stages.

After walking for a few minutes, Grey and Klaus walked up to an open field in the forest close to the town, and to their surprise, there were over ten people in the open field.

These people were clearly waiting for someone.

"Hey bud, I think we just walked right into an ambush," Klaus said, but there wasn't a hint of fear in his face.

"Yeah, so it seems," Grey nodded.

While the two were facing the people in front of them, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked out of the bush from behind them.

"Heh! It's just as they said, you brats are really too confident," The man said.

"You're even more confident. I mean, after what happened in your town some minutes ago, I didn't think you people would have the guts to try to fight us again," Klaus replied.

"The chief is a coward, we'll kill you here and offer you two to the Moon stone," The man said.

"Such boldness, I approve of it!" Klaus cheered.

Grey looked at Klaus, trying his best to keep a straight face. Klaus was just plain weird and psychotic.

The man almost tripped when he heard this statement, it was almost like Klaus was cheering him on, but given the situation of things, it was an obvious mockery.

"We'll see if you can keep running your mouth when we're done with you," The man said before looking at the group behind them, "Formation!"

"Oh… a formation, what are you going to do with… oh shit!" Klaus' expression which was previously filled with mockery changed when he saw what was in front of him.

"Interesting," Grey narrowed his eyes on seeing what was taking place in front of them.

The ten people separated into a group of two, both groups started making hand seals, while quickly channeling their essence in a particular manner.

Within seconds, an ice monster soon started to form. What was shocking was the aura the thing was radiating. It was at the Peak of the Origin Plane.

There were not just one, but two. Each ice monster stood at a shocking twelve meters tall.

Only now did Grey and Klaus know that the chief didn't use the town's full strength against them. Given the number of people there at that time, it wouldn't be difficult for them to make at least ten of such monsters, and although most of them would be relatively weak, they couldn't help but wonder the strength the one made by the town chief and the elders would have.

The thought of it stunned the duo. Of course, they weren't really scared since Klaus' father and Blake were just a few meters away.

Blake could easily kill everyone in the town with a single slap, much less Klaus' father.

"Wow, I didn't know you people had something like this," Klaus commented.

"Hmph! Even if you beg now, we still won't spare you," The man said.

Presently, he was the only one who wasn't in a formation. He was watching the battle from the side. Of the people here, only four others were in the Mid stages of the Origin Plane, this was why Grey and Klaus were surprised by the aura of the ice monster.

But thinking about it properly, since there were five people, two in the Mid stages and three in the Early stages, it didn't seem strange. Well, someone in the Peak of the Origin Plane would be able to beat up five people of such caliber though.

"Do I look like someone scared? I'm only shocked you people have something like this up your sleeves," Klaus looked at the man as if he were looking at a fool.

"We'll see about that. Attack!" The man said, not convinced that the duo wasn't afraid.

Roar!

The ice monster roared loudly, before charging at the duo. One for each person.

The five people were all in one part of the ice monster's body. One person was in the head, one in each arm, and one in each leg.

Whoosh!

The speed of the ice monster was shocking, to say the least. It was at least equal to a Wind Elementalist in the Peak of the Origin Plane.

Given its size, neither Grey nor Klaus thought it would be this fast.

Swoosh! Boom!

The ice monster swung its fist at them.

Grey and Klaus each dodged the attacks of the two ice monsters. The ground where they were previously standing was smashed, a small crater forming in it.

"Damn! This thing is fast and strong," Klaus said.

"It's just a huge target waiting to be hit," Grey said.

"Easy for you to say, you can blast it with your blue fire and all. All I have is the water element, and this freaking thing is made entirely of ice, I don't see where any of my attacks are going to be doing any damage to it," Klaus retorted.

"Hehe, then get ready for another beating!" Grey laughed and pounced at the ice monster that was charging towards him.

"Damn it! Why couldn't they just use any other element? It just had to be the water element," Klaus complained before moving to the side, quickly evading another fist.
