Affinity: Chaos

Grey was secretly preparing another array with each attack he unleashes. As long as the young man continued dodging in this manner, Grey would complete a terrifying attack array that might have the power to one-shot this young man.

With every attack he sends out, he would take out a portion of it and infuse it with the array he was creating. Once the array was finished, the attack power might even exceed the Sage Plane realm. This was all on the premise that the young man continues dodging and blocking which he is currently doing.

The young man didn't want Grey to hit him with any attack since it would be dangerous for him.

Grey didn't give him any chance as he continued his onslaught of attacks. Since the young man wanted to keep up with this, he didn't mind entertaining him.

The young man continued defending as Grey continued attacking.

As time went on, the young man soon noticed that something was wrong. Grey didn't seem to be going for the killer blow, rather, he was only just attacking willfully.

Whenever the young man tried to relieve the pressure, Grey didn't even mind using his domain.

"What's he doing?"

This was the question running through the head of everyone in the place as they saw Grey. It was only after another minute did they understand what was happening

"Another array."

The old man was the first to notice it.

"You're…"

"Correct, and you fell for it." Grey smirked as a large inscription, different from what he had been doing ever since appeared.

This time, the young man felt the threat of death. If a single attack from this inscription connected with him, he was done for.

The young man's aura suddenly exploded, his strength going almost past the Sage Plane. This wasn't the time to keep any of his strength hidden.

Grey, seeing this, knew that things had started to get serious. He didn't hold back and unleashed an attack from the inscription he just made.

The speed and power of the attack were shocking.

Just as the attack was about to hit the young man, he used the darkness element to counter, trying to use the corroding properties to block the attack.

The two attacks collided and caused an explosion.

The young man attacked, while Grey also continued his attacks. He didn't use the inscription in every attack since it would be a waste.

Every attack now was deadly and if any of them were to slip up even for a second, then they would lose this battle.

The young man used the lightning element to attack, but Grey dodged before using his earth element to send the young man up into the air.

The young man took flight, stabilizing himself before attacking Grey who was below him.

Grey vanished and appeared in the sky as well, facing off against the young man as they fought fiercely.

Not being on the ground gave away one of Grey's flaws, the array he made on the platform which was boosting his speed and attack power didn't have a hundred percent effect in the air. Previously, he had an increase of about fifteen percent, but now, he had only around seven to eight percent increase.

In such a battle, a drop of strength of this level was very dangerous since it would give his opponent the opportunity he needed.

The young man noticed this and started a fierce counter.

Grey didn't back down either, he continued attacking.

Boulders covered in scorching flames appeared in the sky and each of them shot at the young man.

The young man confidently maneuvered through them while also destroying the few he couldn't dodge.

Grey unleashed an attack from the inscription, while also using his domain to try to hold the young man in one place.

The young man dodged and rushed out of the area. He used his darkness domain to help himself against Grey's domain.

Grey called on his lightning domain as well, making sure the power could suppress the darkness domain of the young man.

The young man didn't want to be defeated, so for the first time since the battle started, he took the initiative to move closer to Grey.

Seeing this, Grey's eyes lit up. Of course he was not going to let this chance slip by. However, contrary to what the young man expected, the gravitational force field didn't come, and neither did Grey go close to him, rather, he felt a repulsive force that sent him flying back.

Behind him, the inscription had already been loaded up, ready to attack.

'Damn it!' He complained internally.

He covered himself with his darkness domain while also using an attack, trying to see if he could break apart the inscription.

Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful and the attack from the inscription shot out, cleanly striking the body of the young man which was not only covered by the darkness domain, it was also covered in double armor of the darkness and lightning element. These were the last resort of the young man, if even these were unable to block this attack from Grey, then he was done for.

The attack hit him cleanly, knocking him back in the direction he was coming from.

Grey was waiting for him, just as the figure shot out of the explosion, heading in Grey's direction, Grey's expression changed drastically, without even thinking, he turned around and tried to bolt away.

The young man's domain had been destroyed, his darkness and lightning armor were shattered and he was bleeding from all seven orifices. His clothes were a mess, but he was headed toward Grey with a deadly aura revolving around him.

Grey felt a threat, hence he didn't think twice before trying to escape. Teleportation might not be able to help him at the moment, so he wanted to use his speed to escape from the young man's grasp.

The young man's eyes were red as he rushed after Grey.
