Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 808 Void's Involvement

Grey looked on as the old man dealt with the fusion orb easily. It was as if the orb wasn't even a challenge for him.

'The darkness element. No wonder he noticed what I did.' He thought to himself.

The old man looked at Grey with a calm expression. He wasn't bothered by him, with a tap, the red horned man that was on the ground started to heal up.

'Hmm, he has the light element as well.' Grey's eyes narrowed as he looked at the old horned man.

Only after seeing this did he take his time to look at his horns. Now he understood why he missed the horn, they were very small. Compared to the horns of others, this old man's horn was very small.

"Kid, I'll let you live if you agree to give us your elemental core. This is a good deal for you since you get to keep your life." The old man said. To him, he was already being lenient with Grey, given the number of people Grey had killed, he was supposed to be executed in front of the entire kingdom, but since he could tell that Grey was extremely talented, he wanted his core.

"Actually, I can say the same for you. Remove your horns, and you just might not get to feel the pain when I do it myself." Grey smiled.

This old man might be powerful, but he was still in the Overlord Plane. Only someone in the Sage Plane can threaten him at this moment, and unfortunately for the horned race, there was no one in said Plane.

"Don't underestimate me kid, I'm not someone you can deal with." The old man didn't feel annoyed with Grey's statement. He also knew that their horns were valuable to people from other races. It was just like the way they were capturing humans for their cores.

"You might be powerful, but you're not enough to threaten me." Grey's eyes went cold.

'Void, deal with him. And make it quick.' He said to Void telepathically.

Void quickly killed the Overlord Plane horned man he kept captive and appeared behind the old man.

The old man sensed the vibration in the space behind him and turned around to attack. He knew Grey had the space element, so he felt Grey was trying to attack him from behind.

He threw a fist in that direction, but what he met was a large claw that sent him flying. Void's current size was well over two meters in length and over one meter tall. He wasn't like the cute little cat he always portrayed anymore.

Grey attacked the red horned man with the opportunity that presented itself from Void's attack.

His fusion orb struck the red horned man who was still in the midst of recovery after the old man healed him.

The other three horned men rushed over to block Grey. But he used his inscriptions to ward them off and focused on dealing with the red horned man.

The old man was infuriated by Grey's complete disregard for him and tried to get involved in the battle. However, he was blocked by Void.

"Get out of my way!" He threw a palm that was covered with a black light in Void's direction.

Void opened his mouth and spat out a fireball that crashed with the palm and destroyed the black light. Void's strength was not something the old man could take lightly.

When he realized this, he knew that there was no hope for him to be able to intervene in the battle. What was worse was that he hadn't cleansed the other horned men who were fighting with Grey. He only cleansed the red horned man since he was the one closest to him.

"You impudent creature, I'll skin you in the presence of your master." The old man stated coldly and attacked Void.

"He's not my master." Void replied and vanished.

He appeared behind the man and attacked. The old man was able to block the attack, but he was pushed back by the attack.

Void and the old man continued exchanging blows while Grey focused on the red horned man. With the weakening of the three horned men at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, they found it difficult to fight against the inscriptions.

Grey created six inscriptions to ensure that the attacks on the horned men will be sufficient to stop them. Nonetheless, they still managed to stop him from killing the red horned man.

They were, after all, at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, and they were very experienced fighters.

The battle raged on with Grey fighting against four opponents while Void was dealing with the old man.

The few soldiers who returned could only watch from the side. If they tried to get involved, they would only make things difficult for their superiors.

They couldn't even make use of their famed formation since Grey would just counter it with his own, putting their superiors in danger in the process.

Although Grey had the upper hand, he still got hit a few times by his opponents. It couldn't be helped, they were very powerful.

Just when the four were starting to feel they still had a chance, a change occurred on Void's side of the battle.

The old man who was being pushed back by Void suddenly froze, unable to dodge Void's claw attack. The claw hit him solidly on the chest and he slammed to the ground.

Before he could even move once again, Void appeared almost at the same time he slammed into the ground and continued his vicious assault.

Seeing the old man in trouble, the four horned men discarded their battle with Grey and rushed in that direction.

When they were twenty meters away from Void, they felt a powerful repulsion that pushed them back.

Grey appeared behind one of the horned men and the spear he took from the general pierced through his chest.

"You should focus on your battle." Grey whispered in the ears of the horned man.

He knew Void had used his domain, so he was more or less certain that the four horned men wouldn't be able to get close to Void. He quickly capitalized on the situation and injured one of them.
