Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 872 A Star High Above

Nathan's cry of pain resonated in the entire desert. Grey's lightning domain was not to be joked with. If his icy flame domain was cold to the extreme, then the lightning domain not only burns, but it also electrocutes his victims as well.

Nathan was shaking vigorously in the domain and had fallen to the ground once again.

Eva looked at Grey with disbelief in her eyes. She knew about Grey's fire domain, but this was the first time she was seeing him using another domain. Grey was still in the Sage Plane, but he had awakened two domains already. And each of them was very powerful. Some Multi Elementalists who had become Elemental Venerables still only awakened just one domain, yet Grey was already on his second one.

'Just how powerful will he be when he becomes an Elemental Venerable?' The question flashed through Eva's mind.

All those who had seen Grey use his fire domain some moment ago when he stole the earth elemental treasure right in front of them were stunned. Now they knew why Grey was the most talked about talent in the Faction.

Not only did he awaken one domain when he was in the Overlord Plane, but he also awakened another just after getting to the Sage Plane. His future was limitless at this moment.

"Grey, it's enough." Eva pleaded with Grey.

She didn't have any other choice. Nathan was a genius from their Faction, and the fact that Grey was beating him up this badly won't go well with some of the Elders Nathan was close with.

Grey looked at her before waving his hand. The lightning stopped and Nathan's figure was still vibrating on the ground.

"Here, this should help in his recovery." Grey passed a healing tonic to Eva before turning around.

"You're leaving?" Eva asked, stunned by the fact that Grey was leaving just like that.

"Anything?" Grey turned around to look at her.

Eva dropped her head before looking away, "Nothing."

Grey turned around and looked at the men from the Lutra race, "Let's go."

With that Grey vanished with the men in tow.

Eva and the others from the Pyrmond Faction looked at where Grey was standing before he vanished. They still found it hard to believe that Grey beat up Nathan by this much. What was worse was that Logan couldn't even defend himself against Grey. The difference in strength was just too great.

Eva flew down to see Nathan's condition, he was still shaking slightly, but she noticed Grey didn't overdo it. She used the healing tonic Grey gave to her to help him heal up.

After taking the healing tonic, Nathan looked around in search of Grey.

"Where's he?" He asked with clenched fists.

"Gone." Eva replied.

"Look, I'll suggest you let this matter go." She advised.

Nathan kept his head down while biting his lips. He bit them so hard that they started to bleed. To him, Grey disgraced him. This was something he was never going to let go of.

He couldn't even raise a hand to Grey. To him, there was nothing more disgraceful than this. Not being able to even lay a finger on your opponent while he beats you up without any stress.

Eva knew that Nathan's pride would not let him take this lying, but there was nothing she could do. Grey was a monster they obviously couldn't beat, and since they were from the same Faction, they couldn't gang up against him.

Thinking of this fact she recalled something and couldn't help but think of the odds of them being able to even defeat him under such a condition. Grey was able to single-handedly beat the group from the Syphilis Faction, even though they were all in the same stage.

If he could do that, then fighting against them wouldn't be an issue for him.

'Such a terrifying figure. I'm glad he joined us. This fool better not irritate him.' She thought.

From Grey's actions, she could already guess that he was a ruthless figure. She was still thinking of ways to convince Nathan against fighting with Grey when Grey suddenly appeared once again.

"I forgot to tell you." Grey brought out a map and marked it to them.

"We're allied with this kingdom, so do well not to attack them."

After dropping this information, Grey vanished once again. He left the map with them so they could use it to mark theirs.

He didn't give them any details, only telling them that they were allied.

Nathan wanted to speak to him, but before he could say anything, Grey was nowhere to be seen.

"Just you wait, I'll get my revenge for sure." He muttered.

"Don't even think about it." Eva's voice turned cold when she heard Nathan speak of having his revenge.

Nathan didn't think Eva would speak to him in such a manner because of someone else.

"Eva…" He called out.

"Grey's not someone we want to have a conflict with. He's favored in the Faction for being the one who brought this place to us. Now, he has even struck a deal with the people from this realm. Just let it go." Eva advised softly.

Nathan dropped his head in frustration, he didn't want to let it go. He couldn't. Grey shattered his pride as a genius, and the only way he could get it back was by fighting against him once again.

"I want to fight against him once more." He said softly.

"No matter how many times you fight against him, you can not win." Eva told him the bitter truth he didn't want to accept.

Grey was above his league, and the more he thought about it, the more he was making things difficult for himself.

On the day of the celebratory ceremony, Eva was well above Grey, but now, she knew she couldn't even take a single blow from him.

Grey who was once below her was now high up in the sky, and all she could do was to watch him shine.
