Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1305 Nothing But Awe

The man was shocked, it didn't even take close to two seconds before Grey shot out of the palm. With his strength, he felt he should at least have been able to keep Grey there for five to ten seconds, but to his surprise, Grey burst out of it almost immediately which wasn't what he expected.

'Damn it! This kid is hard to deal with. Since when does he have red lightning?' The man thought to himself, he was a bit annoyed, and surprised.

The last time they were fighting with Grey, he didn't see Grey use red lightning, rather, he only saw him using just the normal silver lightning. The fact that Grey could use two types of lightning made him even more scary.

Grey burst out of the palm and charged at the man, his body covered with red lightning. He was like a large red beast that was charging into a storm with no fear.

The man didn't have time to think about Grey being able to use red lightning, he had far more things to worry about. Grey was coming for him, and he knew from experience not to take Grey's attack lightly. If he was hit physically, he was prepared to cut off the place that was touched by Grey. He could still hear the screams of the man Grey killed after just a punch.

Grey drew close to the man and attacked, using his speed to his advantage, he wanted to punch the man. But the man was prepared for anything he threw at him. When Grey's fist was about to hit him, the man created an ice wall, blocking the fist.

The ice wall cracked, but it didn't give way. Grey might be powerful, but in the end, compared to the man, his attack power was a little lacking.

The man took advantage of the close range and exploded out with a powerful water stream that sent Grey flying.

Grey crashed hundreds of meters away.

The man rushed towards the place Grey crashed, and just when he was about to attack, Grey's lightning-covered body shot out of the dust cloud, heading straight at him.

The man covered a fifty meters radius around him with water, making sure it was impossible for Grey to get to him with his speed.

Grey shot into the water, and seeing that there was no way to shorten the gap, he retreated, not daring to stay within that area. The reason for this was simple: he felt an immense pressure trying to crush his body.

Although it was not as strong as the heavy water he could use, the man already had a great grasp of the water element and could somewhat emulate the pressure of the deep ocean.

The pressure was something that scared Grey, luckily, he acted quickly and left the place as soon as he felt it.

The man stood in the middle of the water, staring at Grey. He didn't expect Grey to be able to leave so soon.

Grey stood mid-air and looked at the man, he knew with this thing there, there was no way he would be able to get close to the man.

'I need to cut it open.' He said to himself.

With this thought in mind, he prepared an attack, a powerful space elemental attack that he was confident would be able to do what he had in mind.

A powerful force surged in the air as spatial elemental particles started to gather and take the form of a thin long blade. The blade spanned over twenty meters in length.

When the man saw the black blade hanging over his head like an executioner's blade, he couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. He didn't think Grey would have such a skill set in store. They had fought with Grey before, and given the position they put him, he felt he had used all his skills, who would've expected he still had something like this hidden?

'Fuck!' He exclaimed internally and fortified the water.

He knew Grey's plan, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Grey was successful.

Grey smirked when he saw the man getting to work, he didn't hurry to attack, he let the man fortify his defense. He wanted to see just how powerful this strike would be. He wasn't using his essence to create the attack, rather, he was using the elemental particles in the realm to create it. This was something used by most Peak Elemental Venerables and Sovereigns, but here Grey was, a Ninth stage Elemental Venerable, capable of already achieving this feat.

The man could also do it, but it took a massive amount of focus. Grey could do it with ease because he had a powerful spiritual consciousness which gave him other abilities. One shouldn't forget that he could also use mental attacks which also amplified the strength of his spiritual consciousness.

The long blade that was hanging in the sky soon came crashing down, heading towards the man.

The man didn't show any fear and with a loud roar, he took the attack head-on. His water had been fortified, and just like Grey, he added elemental particles from the realm to it, making it even stronger.

'He's a fool to give me the chance to use it.'

The man felt Grey was too confident in his abilities. Well, he would also be confident if he had such abilities, but against an opponent as experienced such as himself, he wouldn't dare to let them have the time to get a hang of themselves. After the initial shock, he would attack instantly.

The blade made contact with the water, and at first, it was unable to penetrate. Only after a little over a second did what the man didn't expect happened. The blade started to cut through his water that had been fortified with the help of the elemental particles as well.

It took no time before the blade cut halfway through it. His eyes bulged out in pure awe. He hated Grey, but he was in awe of him.
