Affinity: Chaos



The young lady from the Syphilis Faction walked into the platform, a little fearful. 

The young man from the Syphilis Faction didn't dare to walk more than five meters away from the platform. 

With Grey present there, he knew he would try to kill him. If he was attacked by Grey, he would lose his life. 

Grey was smiling radiantly at him, but all the young man saw was a devil's grin. Grey was the devil. 

When the young lady stepped on the platform, the lady appeared once again and repeated the same words. 

Grey was watching from the side, sometimes nodding and even applauding the young lady's effort, other times, booing. In short, he was taking the battle as some form of entertainment. Not just that, but he wanted to irritate the young lady who was fighting. 

The young man looked at Grey, and saw Grey dart a glance at him. His body shuddered when he saw Grey's eyes, he knew the current Grey who was applauding the young lady's performance was not the real Grey. Someone who could kill a person within the blink of an eye was not someone to be taken lightly. 

Grey might be smiling, but he was evil. 

The young man kept his eyes on Grey the whole time, he didn't want Grey to sneak up on him. 

"Continue staring and I'll kill you." An eerie voice resounded in the ears of the young man. 

Grey's figure was still in the same spot, but he could feel a bone-chilling aura from his back. He knew for a fact that Grey was standing in front of him, even though he could still see Grey's figure standing in its previous position. 

His eyes widened in realization when the figure dissipated. 

"Afterimage." He muttered, a wry smile on his face. 

Grey's speed was something he couldn't fathom. The afterimage represented Grey's freakish speed. If Grey had used the space element, he wouldn't have been able to leave an afterimage, only when he moved with his body would an afterimage appear. 

The fact that Grey could appear behind him with only his physical speed meant a lot. 

'How is he so fast?' His mind was in turmoil. 

"Did you enjoy my battle?" Grey asked the young man, taking a closer look at the ongoing battle. 

The young lady was doing well against the lady. It could be seen that she was not using her full strength. This had a lot to do with Grey's presence. If she tried to use her full strength, she wouldn't be able to defend herself against Grey's possible sneak attack later on. 

The young man was injured and his strength had declined, he was the strongest in the group, but he doesn't seem to be Grey's match. 

She was fighting when she saw Grey standing behind the young man. Her heart skipped a beat, and she made an error, giving the lady the opportunity to beat her down. 

"Focus on the battle, you have more to worry about after it." Grey said. 

The young lady was frightened, but there was nothing she could do about it. Grey was too strong. 

At first, they didn't think too highly of Grey and felt he was not on their level. They were geniuses in their own rights and felt Grey was not stronger than they were. 

When they forced Grey onto the platform, they thought even less of him when he agreed to it. To them, a true genius would never agree to that.

Only after Grey caused the death of the young man in the Sage Plane did they understand that they had messed with a demon. 

The young man still had the thought of being stronger than Grey, after all, Grey didn't fight against them and used trickery to separate them. However, after getting injured, he didn't dare to fight Grey any longer. 

Once he was done healing, he would take care of Grey. He couldn't believe Grey was actually so foolish and allowed him to heal. 

The young lady on the platform was for her life on the platform after being distracted by Grey's sudden appearance. 

A minute later, the voice of the lady sounded once again, "Failed." 

Other than when the lady fought against Grey, she had been speaking all through. Grey didn't only beat her, but he directly obliterated her. She didn't have the chance to tell him he won. 

"A shame." Grey said when the young lady stepped off the platform with an exhausted expression. 

She raised her head to look at Grey, and without saying anything further, she walked away. 

Grey chuckled, "Whose idea was it to kill me?"

The young lady paused, while the young man shuddered, but he didn't show any fear. The young lady didn't say anything, only staring at Grey. 

"You don't want to say? I didn't expect you to." Grey expected such a reaction. 

He wanted to grab the shoulder of the young man, but he was covered with black fog. 

He smiled, not afraid of this fog. His fire domain spread out, covering himself and the young man. 

The young man turned around and attacked, trying to force Grey to retreat. 

Grey blocked the attack with his scale-covered skin before attacking the young man with a powerful blow. 

The young man heard the sound of his shoulder blades breaking and shrieking in pain. 

Grey's fist landed on his shoulder, after the first blow, the sound of bones breaking spread out again. Grey punched the ribs of the young man with frightening speed. In the space of a second, Grey unleashed over twenty punches. 

The young man's domain was sucked into his body, and his body inflated as he tried to fight through the pain of having his bones broken. 

The young man's body started to grow large and he threw a punch at Grey. 

Grey blocked the attack but took a step back. He raised his head to look at the young man, a smile forming on his face. 

"Interesting."
