Affinity: Chaos



"Kid, you're stronger than I expected. I'll get serious now." The Old man said after Grey destroyed his Snake. 

"You're not bad yourself." Grey replied. 

The Old man looked at Grey but stopped speaking, his eyes turned serious and he spat out blood. 

After spitting out blood, he started to make some series of hand seals before another Snake appeared. If the previous Snake he created looked real, the new one he just created was lifelike. It was as if was a living creature. 

The Snake hissed and charged at Grey. 

Grey looked at the Snake and tried the same method. 

A Fusion Orb shot at the Snake, and it swallowed it, but the expected result did not happen. Grey couldn't help but look at the Snake, his eyes showing a more serious expression. 

Grey looked at them, not even bothered by whatever was going through their heads. He looked at the Head of the Tekik Family before turning his eyes to the Old man. 

The Old man looked at his gaze and said, "Kid, leave now or else you will regret it." 

"Don't worry, I'm not concerned about regrets. I don't do things I know I'll regret." Grey replied. 

He could barely bother with these people. Void and the bunny leader were still there. Even if he could not fight against these people on his own, with Void, he would be able to beat them, adding the bunny leader to it just assured his victory even more. 

The Old man looked at him, and seeing his expression, he smiled and the Snake charged at Grey. 

Grey looked at the Snake coming his way, with a wave of his hand, a large seal appeared in the air. This seal was larger than the usual inscriptions he usually made. The seal unleashed a powerful attack that launched at the Snake. 

The Snake opened its mouth, but compared to the last time, it didn't swallow the attack, rather, it spat out a stream of fire. 

Grey's attack collided with the stream of fire and exploded. 

Grey looked at the Old man, and just when he was about to prepare another attack, the Head of the Tekik Family attacked. Just like the Old man, he created a creature made entirely from the Wind Element. 

The creature was a Leopard Beast, made from the wind element.

Grey didn't attack it, rather, he dodged its attack. He dodged the few he could while blocking most of them. 

The Old man attacked at this time, creating a small snake made from the fire element. Compared to the last one, this one was smaller, and had a higher number. Some of them were not even the size of a pinky. 

Grey didn't expect the Old man to attack in such a way, so he didn't expect it when small fire snakes started to appear around him. 

His pupils constricted when they exploded, sending him flying. 

The eyes of the Old man and the Head of the Tekik Family shone with brilliance. They felt since this could affect Grey, then they had a good chance to defeat Grey. 

The Old man created more small snakes that charged at Grey, who still hasn't gotten up from the previous attack. 

While the dust cloud could go down, they heard another explosion. The Old man sent these snakes in case Grey was still moving, and with the explosions, he confirmed that Grey wasn't dead from the last attack and the next one should be able to do it. 

"I'll take his ring. I'll return all that is yours." The Old man said to the Head of the Tekik Family. 

"I'll go through his ring first. After all, there's no way you would know what belongs to me inside his ring." The Head of the Tekik Family said. 

"My friend, you don't have to worry. Once I get the ring, I'll naturally know what's not from this place. I'll give you the rest." The Old man said. 

"You see, there's something of mine he took, you wouldn't believe it belongs to me." The Head of the Tekik Family said. 

The duo paused and looked at each other. They already felt Grey was dead and were still thinking of how to share his properties. 

"I'll take seventy percent of all he has, you have the remaining thirty." The Old man said. 

"Minus my Family's things?" The Head of the Tekik Family asked. 

"Yes, excluding your Family items." The Old man said. 

The Head of the Tekik Family smiled, and just as they were heading to where Grey was located, they heard a voice. 

"Do I also have a share?" 

Grey's voice woke them up from their state and they looked at the place the explosion happened. I think you should take a look at

They didn't feel he would be able to survive it, so hearing a voice from that place shocked them. 

They looked at that area and saw Grey's figure walking from the explosion. 

"I wonder what good things I'll get from this treasure." 

The duo froze when they saw Grey's figure, shocked by the fact that not only did he survive the attack, but he was completely fine. One has to know that the attack the Old man used was a sneak attack, even Grey didn't sense it. Yet, he was walking out of the explosion without any injuries.

The Old man could barely believe his eyes, while the Head of the Tekik Family looked at the Old man. Even he didn't believe Grey would have been able to survive that without any injuries, yet, that was the case. 

"Come on, whose treasure are we sharing? I'm really interested in it." Grey asked with a curious expression. 

The Old man and the Head of the Tekik Family looked at each other, when they saw Grey's face, they smiled. 

The Head of the Tekik Family looked at Grey, "The ring on your hand."

Grey chuckled, "The ring on my hand?" 

The Old man grinned and said, "Yes, the ring on your hand. We actually threw a ring to you while the explosion occurred." 

Grey laughed when he heard this, not expecting the Old man to say this. 

After gaining a better understanding of the space element, he stopped using spatial rings and created another storage space. 

Grey removed the ring on his hand and played with it, after a few seconds, he tossed it at them. 

"This will stop all the fighting, correct?" He said as he threw the ring towards them. 

The eyes of the Old man gleamed and he subconsciously took a step forward, blocking the view of the Head of the Tekik Family, he stretched out his hand. But his eyes suddenly changed and he hastily retreated while saying to the Head of the Tekik Family.

"I don't know what items belong to your family, why don't you remove them first?"

The Head of the Tekik Family looked at the Old man with a calm expression, "You're my senior, and also stronger, it wouldn't be courteous of me to take this. Please, do the honors." 

Grey kept the ring floating in the air as the duo argued on who would examine the ring. 

They knew Grey was a cunning fellow, so the fact that he willingly gave them the ring meant that it was most likely a trap. 

Seeing the two of them argue, Grey said, "Since you don't want it, I'll take it back."

Grey beckoned for the ring, and it started to float back towards him. 

The eyes of the Old man changed, and after struggling, he pointed at an unassuming young man from those from the Tekik Family, "You, check it out." 

When the young man heard this, he shook from fear. He couldn't help but turn to the Family Head with a pitiful expression, hoping to be spared. 

The eyes of the Head of the Tekik Family turned serious, "Check it out. Make sure all our Family's treasures are intact." 

The heart of the young man sank when he heard this. He didn't dare to disobey the Family Head. 

With shaky legs, he walked over to the ring, the second he stretched his hand to touch it. 

"Boom!" 

He hurriedly withdrew his hand and felt like his life had left him. Only when he didn't sense anything did he look around, only to see Grey chuckling. 

Grey made it sound as if the ring exploded with the help of his lightning and fire element. The funny part was that everyone from the Old man to those from the Tekik Family jolted when they heard the sound, this showed how they all felt. 

"Get this over with, I'm in a hurry." Grey urged. 

The young man gulped down his saliva and grabbed the floating ring, his heart skipped a beat, but he was elated when he didn't get the reaction he expected. 

"Well, what's inside?" The Old man asked hurriedly. He was in a haste to see if Grey really gave them his treasures. 

"Orbs." The young man muttered in a soft, shaky voice.
