Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 804 Upheaval In The Capital

"What? You're allowed to kill my kind and I'm not allowed to do the same?" Grey looked at the furious young horned man.

He's encountered people like this since the start of his cultivation journey. To people like this, he didn't even have an ounce of strength to explain himself or any of his actions.

"No, you're not." The young man said through gritted teeth and attacked Grey.

There was a significant boost in the strength of the young man, evidently, the glowing of his horns seemed to improve his strength.

Grey couldn't be bothered with the strength the young horned man was displaying.

"I hate hypocrites the most." His eyes went cold and he vanished.

When he appeared, he was standing beside the young horned man.

The horned man was already prepared for this and he attacked with his lightning element. However, he felt the air grow heavier and he fell from the sky, heading to the ground.

Just as his figure hit the ground, he felt an intense heat, looking around, all he could see was a sea of blue flames.

Grey unleashed his domain. Even though he planned to keep it till the end, he wanted to kill this young horned man so badly that he didn't even care about it. Besides, it wasn't as if there were others here in the first place.

The horned man covered himself with ice in hopes to shield himself from the fire. Unfortunately, once caught in this inferno, very few in the Overlord Plane would be able to escape from it alive.

Grey watched as the ice melted away and the young man tried all he could to escape, but he was unable to leave the range of the domain. He shrieked in pain as his eyes turned red.

All he could see at this point was his death. He was just about to beat Grey up for killing people of his race, now, he was about to be killed by the same person he thought he would beat up.

"Damn it! I'll take you down with me!" He roared and his horns glowed even brighter.

Grey knew he was about to explode all the essence in his horns.

"Futile efforts." He muttered.

He looked around and saw one of the soldiers that managed to survive his attack and switched places with him.

The young man had already initiated the self-destruct, so even after Grey was nowhere to be seen, he was still unable to stop it.

"No… no…" He dragged his horns, trying to rip them off. He noticed that the second Grey left, the flaming inferno he was caged in faded off, this meant that he still had a chance to survive. Sadly, he had already initiated the self-destruct in hopes of taking Grey with him.

He looked at Grey, and the last thing he saw before dying was Grey's smiling face as he waved him goodbye.

Grey looked on as a large explosion rang out. The effect of the explosion was almost on the same level as Grey's last attack.

Being prepared for it, Grey was able to easily deal with the attack. When the explosion died down, the earth wall around him fell to the ground.

"Not bad. I guess the horns in my possession have another use." He chuckled before he continued moving forward.

He knew this wouldn't be the last battle he would have to fight since more opponents would be coming. But he wasn't afraid, as long as he didn't face someone in the Sage Plane, he felt confident in his abilities. If his opponent was too powerful, he would enter the Fusion State and beat the crap out of the person.

The second explosion from Grey's side of the battle stunned everyone. It hadn't even been more than two minutes since the first explosion, yet there was a second explosion almost on the same level.

"Who headed in that direction?" Gil looked in that direction curiously. He had already defeated all the people in front of him, and the cages in front of him were destroyed.

The place he was standing looked like an arena. This was one of the places where humans were forced to fight for their lives against beasts, or even each other.

Gil told the men to join them in their plan to rescue all the people that were captured in the capital. The rescued people had no option other than to agree. The reason for this was that most of them held deep-seated hatred for the horned race. A few of them had been here for over fifty years, fighting for survival frequently.

After being put through such difficult situations, all they wanted to do was to rip the people from the horned race apart.

Gil nodded and rushed in another direction. He was curious as to who went in that direction, but he didn't change their plans. The leader of the group gave him orders, and he wanted to carry them out.

Thinking about all the people that were given orders, his mind went to a particular figure, Grey. He was the only one who was given the freedom to move as he pleased. The chances that Grey was the one behind all the ruckus were very high. He wasn't the only one with this thought, the others felt the same as well.

They were each given an area to deal with. And none of those places had anything to do with the center of the city. They were told to meet at the center of the city after they were done with their objectives. The reason they spread out was so as to ensure that the forces of the horned race would have to separate as well.

They were at a disadvantage when it came to numbers. Minimizing their strength was the best thing they could do.

The upheaval Grey caused at the center of the city helped them even more since everyone from the horned race was rushing in that direction, giving the others the freedom to act more quickly. In fact, Grey was unconsciously making the mission easier than they expected.
