Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 809 Retreat

Twisting the spear, Grey removed the spear and just as it got to the tip, it exploded out destroying the body of the man to bits.

The three horned men were stunned when they saw this.

Void was assaulting the old horned man, while Grey on the other hand didn't spare the opportunity presented to him.

The three horned men were forced to fight against him since there was no way to get to Void. Their plan was to apprehend Grey and use him as a bargaining chip. They could tell that Void was here because of Grey, so if he saw Grey captured, he would most definitely let the old horned man go.

They fought desperately, but Grey held his own against them. His inscription and the space element made it difficult for the horned men to surround him.

While they were still fighting, they heard a scream coming from where Void and the old man were fighting. Looking in that direction, they saw Void plucking out the horns of the old man. It was just like Grey said, if the old man didn't offer up his horns by himself, then he would have to go through the pains of watching them being plucked out.

Void didn't go easy on him as he removed the horns either. In the most ruthless and savage way, he removed the horns.

The shrieks of the old man sent chills down the spines of every horned man present. Every member of the horned race would never want to experience this event. Removing the horns of a member of the horned race was not only a sign of embarrassment, it was the most gruesome thing that could happen to them.

Grey didn't really care about all this, and neither did Void. He removed the horns and moved them in the face of the old man.

The man held his face as he screamed in pain. He could feel his strength slowly receding. Their essence was stored in their horns, so losing it meant that they would gradually lose their strength. It was evident from the second the horns were removed.

"Now, die." Void said coldly and the space around the old man started to distort.

It was his special space attack.

The old man tried to fight against it, but he was already beaten by Void, adding the fact that his horns were ripped off, and his strength was not even close to someone in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane. He could only watch on as his body disintegrated into nothing.

Grey was the more focused fighter on his side. The death of the old man alarmed the three horned men he was fighting. They were unable to fight properly which gave him the chance to fight without pressure.

"What are you all doing? Attack them!" The red horned man was forced to call on the strength of the soldiers.

They couldn't fight like this, especially with Void watching from the side.

The soldiers nodded and rushed into the scene. Grey was forced to divide his attention to the soldiers. Void also joined in on the battle as well.

Boom! Bang! Bam!

The explosions from the attacks were massive, and as time passed, more and more soldiers started to flood the place. Grey might be powerful when fighting against a large crowd, but thousands of people were a little too much for him, especially when there are hundreds of Ninth stage Overlord Plane Elementalists and over ten at the Peak of the Overlord Plane.

The three horned men at the Peak of the Overlord Plane managed to call over more people at the Peak. Even though they were not on their level, they could still hold Grey and Void back.

'Grey, they're too much. Should we retreat?' Void asked.

The numbers were increasing as time went on, it was as if the soldiers were infinite.

Grey assessed the situation, and after realizing that it would be impossible for him to advance any further, he decided it was best for them to retreat. He was almost certain that his involvement had dragged all the powerful figures to this part of the city. He knew from the start that if he created a large scene, this would happen.

'Well, I've got a good number of horns, let's retreat then.' Grey said and turned around decisively.

He wasn't someone who would risk his life for a treasure. Besides, if not for the leader of the geniuses who wanted his help, he wouldn't have come here in the first place. The battles he fought here had taught him a few things, so he was satisfied.

When the horned men noticed that he was escaping, they were infuriated. Grey wanted to leave like that after what he did to them, impossible! at the Peak of the Overlord Plane chased after him with everything they had.

'They're chasing us.' Void said when he saw them.

'Guess it's time to give them some parting gifts.' Grey smiled and two horns appeared in his hands.

These were horns he took from the people of the horned race. After playing with it for a while, he threw them in the direction of the horned men chasing him.

"Insolence!" The red horned man yelled in annoyance, if he had the chance, he would rip Grey to pieces.

This was the first time he was seeing someone attack them with their horns. What was worse was that they knew how powerful an explosion from the horns would cause. Just looking at the horns showed that it was taken from a Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalists.

The horns exploded, but the horned men were already out of its range. This action made them want to capture Grey all the more.

Grey, noticing that they dodged the first one, smiled.

"I can play all day."

With that, he brought out another pair of horns and tossed them at the horned men chasing after him.

The horned men were red from anger. They had never been this angry in their lives. Grey was throwing horns at them, horns from their race.

Most of the horns were from the soldiers Grey killed not too long ago. They noticed him taking the horns, but they couldn't stop him.
