Affinity: Chaos

1178  Elemental Advantage

While blocking the needles, Grey attacked with the earth element, slamming a large hammer at the young lady.

The hammer hit the young lady, but just as it was about to hit her, her body turned to water, and the water splashed across the platform.

Grey looked around, trying to sense her current location.

He turned around hastily and blocked the large ice spear that was about to be impaled into his back.

The spear was unable to touch him, but he was forced a few steps back.

He looked at the spear, and the figure that was previously standing behind it had turned into water once again, disappearing from his view.

Grey's expression turned serious and the area around him was enveloped with flames, hot flames.

He heard a scream from a region and attacked that area. While attacking, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his figure blinked, disappearing from where he was standing. A large ice spike rose from the ground, almost piercing him between his nether region, luckily, he managed to react quickly.

The laughter of the young lady reverberated across the platform.

This time, they were not fighting a mental battle, so everyone could properly see them. Just like Grey, most of the people were still searching for the young lady.

After being attacked, Grey couldn't stop the young lady from creating mist across the platform.

Even though he was trying to use his fire domain to block it, he was still not able to remove it.

Jonas, who was watching, gave a wry smile after seeing Grey's domain and muttered, "As expected."

He too, had already awakened his fire domain, but compared to Grey's blue flames, he was a bit envious. One has to know that special flames in some cases give unique abilities. Taking the cold flames Grey got later on, for example, he managed to get a mental attack in the process.

Back in the arena.

Grey looked at the spike that sprouted out of the ground and gulped down, a bit fearful of what might have happened if he didn't sense it quickly.

The young lady only screamed to draw his attention just so she could attack him. And she was almost successful too.

He calmed down and settled his mind. The only way to fight against such an opponent is by being calm… or… by setting the entire platform on fire.

Grey stamped on the ground and the earth started to show signs of turning into lava. Not just that, but the heat around the place shot up, even those that were in the stands felt the uncomfortable heat and started to retreat back.

The man in charge of the platform couldn't help but give them some space. He was only at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, although he could handle the heat, he didn't want to stress himself. Besides, there's a certain thing about Grey's attacks that scare him deep down.

The arena transformed, from a stage, it turned into a pool of lava. A certain part showed signs of cooling off, the part where the young lady appeared.

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't come out." Grey chuckled and his figure vanished.

It was his turn to haunt the young lady. Unlike her, he was a Space Elementalist, he didn't need to turn into water, all he had to do was disappear and appear.

He appeared close to the young lady and attacked with the fire element, the hotness of the fire was above what it used to be.

The young lady dodged it, and the sound of water touching fire gave off steam as she stepped on the lava outside the cooled area where she was originally standing.

Grey didn't stop there, he attacked once again. This time, he used the lightning element. Sending a lightning bolt at the young lady.

She tried to turn into water, but it only aggravated the pain she felt from the lightning attack. Coupled with the hotness there, she could barely use her water element properly.

Grey turned to battle around with a single move. Putting himself in a more favorable position.

Everyone watched on as Grey slowly gained the upper hand before completely suppressing the young lady.

Jonas was a bit disappointed since he didn't get to see Grey put in too much effort. Even though there was a period that the young lady had the advantage, it wasn't for long and she didn't even hit Grey with any powerful attacks.

'It's over.' He concluded internally.

And before long, the pained shriek of the young lady reverberated everywhere, along with the voice of the man in charge calling for the end of the battle. It was not a battle to the death. Of course, on some occasions, there have been one or two deaths, but it wasn't common.

Grey turned the platform to its original state before looking at the young lady who had burn marks across her body. He didn't say anything, with a nod to the man and the young lady, he turned to the crowd again, offering all thirty of his current wins.

However, everyone was still in a state of shock that they weren't able to react. One minute the young lady almost impaled him, the next she was lying on the floor in pain.

One has to know that Grey was three stages below the young lady. If he could do this to her, then who would dare to fight against such a figure?

While the people were still contemplating, a Tiger stepped forward, it had fiery red stripes on its body.

"He only won due to the elemental advantage. He's strong, but not invincible." The Tiger opened its mouth and said before jumping onto the platform, "I'll take you on your offer."

Those familiar with the Tiger looked at it in shock. Yes, Grey was able to capitalize on his advantage, but looking at it, was it only by using his elemental advantages that he won? None of them believed so!
