Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1747: Something’s Wrong

Grey, who was standing mid-air on the platform couldn’t help but frown, turning his gaze to the direction of the Elder’s area. He sensed a soft powerful mental energy fluctuations inspecting his body, and although it was well hidden, Grey’s mental strength couldn’t be compared to that of an average Elementalists, even a Ninth stage Sovereign’s mental strength isn’t stronger than his own. Not only that, but he was also very vigilant, making it very hard for others to spy on him without him taking notice.

Given Lord Dante’s strength, it was an exaggeration to say that even if he wanted to spy on an average peak Ninth stage Sovereign, he didn’t have to fear being caught. Yet, in front of a Sixth stage Sovereign, he was actually noticed. Seeing Grey’s cold gaze, he knew that the other party wasn’t pleased.

Grey had no idea who it was, but after he showed his clear displeasure about being inspected in that manner, the mental energy disappeared.

The young lady seemed to notice Grey’s short absentmindedness and felt a bit angered that when facing her, Grey still had time to focus on other things.

To her, this was an insult. Her aura spiked, and a bird made from her fire element appeared above her. The firebird spat out a ball of flame in Grey’s direction.

The strength of the ball of flames couldn’t be neglected, and Grey knew this very well. Without any hesitation, he sent out an attack of his own, blocking the incoming attack with an ice orb. Both attacks collided, and the impact of the attack forced Grey to take a step back and steady himself.

He didn’t have the leisure time to rest as the young lady had already sent out another attack.

Seeing things like this, Grey also knew that this wasn’t the time to lose focus. Since the mental energy fluctuations had disappeared, it meant that he didn’t need to worry about it for the time being.

Three tornados rose up from the ground, surrounding Grey. Since he had already shown his wind element, there was no point in not using it in this fight. If he restricted himself any further, then there’s a chance he might not be able to defeat his opponent.

Although everyone already expected this, seeing him use the wind element to create a tornado confirmed this. It’s not that they didn’t want to accept it, it was just that it was too incredulous to believe. Having three elements already places one in a very position as an Elementalists, increasing the strength of said Elementalists by at least thirty percent. Yet Grey not only has three, but he has double that, six elements in total!

The duo started their all-out attacks, shuttling through the platform at high speed. Before showing his sixth element, Grey was almost fully suppressed by the young lady. However, with the addition of his sixth element, he was actually able to fight almost on equal footing with the young lady, and although she had a higher attack power, Grey was just too fast. If her attacks can’t cause him any harm, then it’s safe to say that there’s no way she would be able to defeat him.

She wasn’t the only one who realized this, everyone watching this couldn’t help but feel shocked. Especially these old guys, seeing Grey expertly evade most of the young lady’s attacks, they felt a sense of shock. Now they understood why even though the Gnomes placed a kill order on his head, he was still very much alive. His ability to escape is second to none. None of the people here believed that they could achieve what Grey was doing even if they possessed the same elements as him.

His decision making each time he escaped was flawless. Even some of these top experts, with the exception of those Half God Plane Elementalists, all those old Peak Sovereigns who were close to breaking through to the Half God Plane felt as if they were the ones in Grey’s position, even with their current strengths, they would’ve been forced to take some of the young lady’s attack head-on. Grey, on the other hand, was moving like a fish in water. Since he brought out his wind element, the young lady could barely scratch a piece of his clothing, much less harm him with any of her attacks.

Grey was very relaxed as he dodged. He wasn’t a master at too many things, but one thing he was very confident in was his ability to escape. If he had been caught in a life-and-death battle with this young lady, knowing that he couldn’t defeat her, he would’ve escaped from the region already. The limited space of the platform is the reason the young lady could even still see his shadow.

While Grey was very relaxed, the same could not be said for his opponent. The young lady was starting to show signs of frustration. No matter how she attacked, she couldn’t touch Grey. Not just that, but Grey’s counters were quite powerful. Her innards have been rocked a few times, and if not for her superior strength, she would’ve fallen to two more of Grey’s plots. After Grey’s first attempt, when he used his gravitational force field, even though the young lady did most of the attack, each of Grey’s attacks was difficult to deal with.

Time went on minute by minute, and the young lady started to have a bad premonition. The truth is, after learning that it was virtually impossible for her to defeat Grey with her attacks, she went for the best option, exhausting Grey’s elemental essence. Most Elementalists don’t dare to fight for too long for this particular reason. There’s a limit to the essence in their bodies, and given their cautiousness, most Elementalists don’t even face depleted essences in their lifetimes.

The young lady had a higher cultivation stage than Grey, so she naturally believed she had a higher essence reserve. This was the normal way things were, and even if Grey was a heaven-defying genius, there’s no way his essence reserves would be on the same level as someone who is three minor stages above him. Even having an essence reserve on par with those one minor stage ahead of him is already a sign of a genius, and a genius among geniuses like Grey will naturally have a better essence reserve, but no one believed it would be better than the young lady’s.

But as time went on, everyone realized something was wrong.
