Affinity: Chaos



The young lady froze when she heard the young man's shriek. 

They were not the only ones present there. The others who had failed to pass the stage were shocked by the strength of Grey. It had been less than a second since the fog appeared, yet they heard the young man scream in pain. From the way he screamed, it was obvious that he was experiencing an unimaginable degree of pain. 

They were still thinking about that when the young man's figure inflated. After throwing a punch at Grey, the impact only made Grey take a step back. 

"So strong?"

This was the only thought in the heads of everyone present. Even the young man fighting Grey had the same thoughts as they did. Grey was too strong. 

The young lady acted at this moment, seeing the young man using this technique, she unleashed her essence, and darkness essence left her body, merging with the body of the young man. 

The young man's strength shot up, and within the blink of an eye, the Third stage rose to the Fourth and then finally the Fifth. 

The young man could sense the shocking power flowing through his body. He knew it wouldn't last, so he attacked immediately. 

Grey, already predicting this, disappeared from where he was standing, appearing close to the young lady and attacking. 

The young lady was focused on feeding the young man and never expected Grey to change his target. 

Boom!

Grey's fist landed on her back and exploded with pale blue flames. 

The young lady shrieked in pain, her scream even louder than that of the young man. Her spine snapped from Grey's punch. She fell to the ground, unable to stand up. 

The young man had just rushed over when the young lady was sent flying. He looked at Grey with enraged eyes, roared, and attacked. 

Grey couldn't be bothered by him, he knew it would be difficult to fight against the young man in this state. Although he was certain he wouldn't lose, he didn't want to expend too much energy here. He had already noticed that there was no way to restore energy here. If he were careless, he might get in trouble. Of course, he was one of the few people who wasn't too worried, his essence reserves were more than triple that of ordinary First stage Elemental Venerables, 

The young man continued attacking, Grey dodged, heading for the young lady. He could sense that even with the injury, she was still feeding the young man. 

When he appeared, he kicked her, sending her flying. The entire left part of her ribs was broken from this kick.

She opened her mouth, but blood was the only thing that came out of it. 

Her physical body was nowhere near that of Grey's. 

The young lady landed on the ground and what followed was what no one expected, with the exception of Grey since he was the one who kicked her.

The seriously injured young lady heard a voice that frightened her. 

"Defeat me and pass."

Yes, she landed on the platform. In her current state, she couldn't block any attack from the lady. Even if the lady held back, she would still be able to worsen her injury, if not kill her from the first attack. 

The lady froze after she said those words, a little confused. This was the first time she was encountering something like this. 

Even though she paused, she still attacked almost within a second. 

The young lady, who was still transferring essence to the young man, was forced to stop. She had to try to take the first attack from the lady. The lady would leave her after this attack, she was sure of that. 

The aura of the young man dropped to the Fourth stage. 

Grey still didn't entangle with him, only sending out some occasional attacks while dodging. The young man was frustrated. It had been almost a minute since he used this technique, yet he hadn't been able to do anything to Grey. He could barely keep up with Grey's location, much less attack him. 

The young lady on the platform used all her strength to block the attack and was left gasping for air. She was literally on her last breath after that attack, another attack and she will most likely die. 

"Failed." 

The lady disappeared after saying this. 

The young lady couldn't even stand from the platform, laying there while dripping blood. 

She didn't dare to leave the platform, in fear of Grey attacking her. However, her expression changed drastically when she felt a suction force. 

Grey had directly used his wind element to drag her out of the platform, she was still showing a fearful expression when she felt her body go back. 

She felt a bit of ecstasy, but the joy died when she heard the same voice once again. 

"Defeat me and pass." 

She looked at Grey who was smiling with hatred. She had not felt this much hate for anyone in her life, and there was a high possibility that she would not get the chance to feel hate for anyone else. 

The lady paused when she saw the young lady once again. Unfortunately, she must attack since it was the rules. The challenger must at least block or dodge an attack. 

The young lady could only helplessly watch as the attack landed on her body. 

She didn't have the time to open her mouth. 

The young man who was still in his inflated state looked at the lifeless body of the young lady. Her eyes were wide open, showing her indignation. 

He turned to look at Grey, "Animal."

Grey looked at the young lady's corpse. He couldn't say he felt any sort of pity for her. It was nature, if they were stronger than him, they would've killed him, but he was stronger, so he killed them. 

He had always killed whoever wanted to kill him, and he would not feel any sympathy for these people.
