Affinity:Chaos

Deep underground. 

The six small figures could be seen burrowing through the ground at an almost impossible speed. Of all the figures, one of them was particularly captivating since it was completely red in color. Each creature had different colors, but they were mostly black and white. Two of them had ash-colored skins. But the red one was bigger than the rest. 

While they were making their escape, they sensed a white light chasing after them. 

"Damn it! Can't he give up?" One of the figures exclaimed in anger. 

Of the six figures, it was the slowest one, and before long, it was caught by the white light. The light acted like a snake and wrapped itself around it before dragging the figure out of the ground. 

When the light caught it, it shrieked in pain, and one could see that its body was visibly burning. It was as if the light element was burning it as soon as it made contact with it. 

After the first one was caught, the other five were caught right after. 

Above ground. The white-haired man was standing with both hands behind his back as he stared at the six creatures. 

This was the first time he was seeing them, but he had heard of them before. These were the things that started the great war which was later regarded as the great war of gods. They were things that were said to have been lost, but here they were, in front of him. He was both shocked and scared. 

These guys could be said to be the founders of necromancy in the Aurora Continent. After coming into this world, they started teaching people their vile ways. They even went as far as catching and training geniuses, only to kill them when they've bloomed. Only Darkness Elementalists could learn their skills, so the other Elementalists were useless to them. 

The white-haired man continued studying the six figures, and they were doing the same to him. Only unlike him, they were also threatening to kill his entire family.

"Keep quiet," He waved his hand and the white light covered the mouths of the ones speaking. 

Only the red one was left to speak. 

"How are you guys still alive?" He asked. 

"You want to get information from me?" An amused smile appeared on the face of the Supreme One before it added, "Impossible,"

"I'm not too obliged to take information from you. I could just kill you. It wouldn't change anything," The man said calmly. 

He knew these things wouldn't give him what he wanted, but there was no harm in trying. 

He asked a few more questions, but the result was the same, he got nothing. After trying multiple times, he tried to peer into the heads of one of the figures caught, but he was unable to breach through. 

"Strange," He muttered. 

Since he couldn't get anything, he tried to use torture, but he was shocked when he saw that it still had no effect on them. He finally gave up on that idea and decided it would be best to take them back to the Aurora Continent. However, just as he tried to seal them away, he noticed their bodies started to dissolve into smoke. 

"You're the one protecting that boy. He's been marked. I'll make sure he dies, mark my words," The red figure said with a vicious smile. 

The white-haired man tried to trap them, but he was unable to. 

"A part of their soul. How could they separate it?" He looked at the scene in front of him. 

If this was only a part of the soul of these things, then how powerful would the original body be?

"This is bad, I'll have to go back to the family and report it as soon as possible," He said as the figures dissipated completely. 

He shook his head with a sigh before disappearing. 

….

Back on the battlefield. 

Chris was still fighting against the Sage Plane Elementalists when the Emperor of the Blue Wind Empire started to twist his body in an unusual way. 

Chris didn't think about it and instantly covered him with a white ray of light. Even though the light element is known for its speed and healing abilities, it was still a powerful element used for fighting. 

The Emperor suddenly shrieked as a small creature crawled out of his stomach, trying to escape. Unfortunately, Chris used the light element and it vanished, just like its counterparts that were destroyed by the white-haired man. 

The battle didn't take long, with all the leaders killed, the others saw no other reason in fighting. 

Even Grey had deactivated his Fusion State, going back to his normal strength. Chris appeared behind him, a calm expression on his face. 

"Student, you've awakened your domain?" Chris asked, but one could sense a slight hint of jealousy in his voice, "And, since when did you have the fire element?"

"I only awakened it today. As for the fire element, it's a long story," Grey replied with a calm tone. 

"Hmm, good, we have a lot to catch up on anyway. We should get going, Oliver's state doesn't look so good," Chris nodded his head before looking at the destruction caused by the battle that just took place. 

With all four Emperors dead, everyone thought Chris would use his strength to unify the continent, but to their greatest shock, after speaking with old man Gerald for a few minutes, he left with his group. It was as if they didn't care about the empires. 

But the truth was, why would they? Chris was training in a blessed land, while Grey and others were about to leave for a better place. The Azure Continent was nothing more than a place they were passing through. 

Old man Gerald was presently the one with the highest authority here, even though he was only at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, most of the Sage Plane Elementalists here respected him. Their respect increased when Chris spoke with him before he left.
