Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 877 Old Monster

"You should be grateful that you're dying while I'm in this form. Not many people got to see my legendary form." The man snarled at Grey.

Grey didn't say anything to the man as he tried to let the man's words sink in. He already guessed the man was from the Era of the War Of Gods, but from the small time the man was speaking, he heard about a human who managed to end the war, almost single-handedly forcing this race back.

The stories he had read didn't have this many details on them, so he was very focused when listening to the man.

The man suddenly stopped talking about it and attacked. Grey almost wanted to complain, but he refrained from saying anything and prepared to block the attack. When he saw the man charging into the range of his gravitational field, he released it, but his pupils shrank when he realized that the man didn't even flinch and continued charging straight at him.

"Huh?" He was slightly taken aback.

Bang!

The man threw a punch in Grey's direction, and when Grey tried to block the attack, he was sent flying, crashing into one of the buildings and destroying it. His fingers were broken.

'Oh crap! Void! Get those guys let's get going!' Grey didn't dare to even stay any further.

From the first exchange, he could already tell the strength of the man exceeded the Sage Plane at the moment. Even in his Fusion State, there was no way he was a match for the man. If he were at the Peak of the Sage Plane, then using the Fusion State, he might have a chance against the man.

Before Grey could stand up from the rubble, he saw the man standing before him and he exploded out with his elements.

The man blocked the attack with his physical body and attacked once again.

Grey didn't try to block the attack with his body this time, rather, he used the earth and water element to create thick ice and earth walls.

The man's fist connected with the walls and they broke apart in an instant.

Grey scrambled to get away from the man's attack range, but his strength was something terrifying. His strength wasn't the only thing that increased, his speed also saw a significant increase. Even with Grey's space element, he still had no problems with keeping up with him.

Grey's eyes glowed and he used his lightning domain. He noticed the lightning element seemed to have an impact on those from this race.

The man stopped when he saw Grey using the lightning domain, not going into it. This confirmed Grey's hypothesis.

With the small chance he got, his eyes glowed with pale blue light and he sent a mental attack at the man.

The man froze when his eyes connected with Grey, and ice started to form around his body.

Grey's mental attack not only attacks the mind, but it also has the ability to freeze his opponents. This was one of the greatest abilities of his pale blue flame.

Seeing that it had some sort of effect on the man, he couldn't help but thank his stars that he encountered that necromancer who sent out that corpse to attack him.

The man's body shook and he started to glow with a dark red glow as reddish smoke started to come out from his body. The ice on his body started to melt and he regained consciousness once again.

"You're troublesome, kid. I'd like to kill you before you grow too powerful." He stated his feelings towards Grey blatantly.

"Can't you let me go? I mean, we don't have any previous resentments." Grey said with a fake smile.

Honestly, he didn't want someone like this man chasing after him. For the first time, he didn't have the courage to actually fight against someone on the same Plane. Well, this man's not on the Sage Plane, he only reduced it so he could stay here.

"Let you go? Never." The man sneered and attacked again.

Grey released the lightning domain around him and used the fire domain to attack the man.

'Void! Do you want me dead?!' Grey asked internally, he was literally fighting a battle he couldn't win.

If not for wanting to take out the triplet, he would've escaped already. If he wanted to run, not even this old monster could stop him.

'Is he that powerful?' Void's voice echoed in his head.

'Void!' Grey screamed his name once again.

'Fine, fine, I'm on the last guy. Those guys really used this chance well.' Void said.

'I'll kill you!' Grey yelled and Void finally stopped talking.

Grey continued his battle against the man. This was a tough battle for him, he couldn't use his physical strength which he was very proud of, and neither were his elemental attacks very effective. Only his lightning element seems to have some impact.

The man didn't stop when attacking, he only avoided Grey's lightning attacks as well as the lightning domain.

Grey created a fire orb and hid some lightning inside. When the man grabbed the fire orb and crushed it, he was met with lightning inside and he couldn't help but curse at Grey.

The more he fought against Grey, the more he wanted to kill him. At first, he only wanted him dead because of the mark on him, but now, he truly wanted him dead. Grey was a huge threat to their resurgence.

"Can you at least teach me how to remove the mark? At least I would like to learn something new before dying." Grey tried to get the man to speak.

"Shut it and die." The man said coldly.

"Come on, be nice for once. You've been trying to kill me since we met. You didn't even give me the chance to tell my side of the story." Grey blabbered on.

The man felt like genuinely killing Grey at the moment. He didn't even want his corpse, he just wanted him dead.

'Void, I can't hold on much longer.'
