Affinity:Chaos

Klaus continued complaining as the battle raged on. Grey and Reynolds stopped speaking to him and focused on the battle in front of them.

They couldn't be bothered with Klaus, this was his normal habit and they had gotten used to it.

Void was watching the battle with interest on the side. He didn't want to get involved with battles of those in lower Ranks. His head was held high as he looked at the others smugly. I'm already a Rank Seven Magical Beast, I can not be bothered with the likes of you.

If not for Grey, he wouldn't even watch the battle.

The only thing that piqued his interest was Reynolds' Elemental Warrior. It seemed to have grown stronger compared to the way it usually was.

'Hey, did that guy use any treasures for his Elemental Warrior?' He asked Grey telepathically as Grey fought.

'Most likely, it's strong. Fighting against a Peak Sixth Rank Magical Beast isn't something most geniuses in the Ninth stage can do.' Grey replied, after some time he added, 'It has always had the ability of fighting against those in higher stages. I just didn't think it would continue even in the Sage Plane.'

Void didn't speak any further and looked at them as they fought.

Reynolds was vicious, trading blows with the other Magical Beast, even though he was getting injured, he didn't seem to care about it. Klaus was fighting cunningly. He knew he was no match for his opponent, and started to retreat as he fought.

A Peak Rank Six Magical Beast was already considered very smart, so it could understand all the curses Klaus was raining on it. It fought even more aggressively, trying to kill the hateful human in front of it.

Klaus was very slippery, he would use his ice ability to the extreme, making sure even a Peak Sixth Rank Magical Beast had difficulties dealing with him. His defense had increased a lot compared to before and it wasn't weak when compared to a Peak Sage Plane Earth Elementalist's defense.

If he really wanted to, he could hold on for a long time and the Beast would be unable to harm him. Unfortunately, his consumption was great. The heavy water was just too strong and it required a lot of essence.

Klaus was fighting and cursing, Grey was using his fists to fight against his opponents. Unlike the others, he was the one who had more opponents to fight against.

There were two Peak Rank Six Magical Beasts, and multiple Late stage Magical Beasts. If he was slightly careless, then he would be injured.

An inscription lit up in the sky and one of the Peak Rank Six Magical Beasts was sent flying. It didn't expect Grey to do something like this, so it was caught off-guard.

Grey wanted to capitalize on this and attack it, but the other one blocked his path, not giving him the chance he wanted.

Grey smirked and to the surprise of the Magical Beast, he moved to the side and directly blasted one of the Late stage Sixth Rank Magical Beasts to death.

The Magical Beast he killed didn't even know how it died. Grey hadn't used his elements to attack and only focused on his physical strength, but seeing how things were, he knew that if he delayed for too long, his friends might be injured.

Klaus' eyes lit up when he saw this and he condensed a thin ice that he shot another Late stage Rank Six Magical Beast in Grey's circle. Before the beast could react, the ice pierced through its head and it died, instantly turning to ice.

Roar!

Boom!

The Winged Tiger that was fighting with Klaus was infuriated. The puny human it had been beating up dared to launch a sneak attack against one of its subordinates and even killed it in its presence. This was a disgrace to its title and it wanted to kill Klaus even more.

Its aura spiked and the void shook as it moved. Its speed had exceeded what it was at the start of the battle as it charged at Klaus.

Klaus was frightened when he saw this, he tossed an ice orb behind him which started to make ice rain before running. He didn't forget to curse at the Winged Tiger as well.

Grey was impressed when he saw how Klaus was able to kill one of his opponents even when he was being oppressed by the Winged Tiger.

'He's grown fast, although he can't use his full strength, he's not to be trifled with.' Grey accessed internally.

The attack Klaus used just now was something that he didn't sense until the last minute. If he were the one who was faced with such attack, other than his space elemental technique that could make him phase through things, he didn't have any hopes in dodging the attack.

One of the most frightening thing about this attack was its speed. Even a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist might not be able to outclass it.

Reynolds was invigorated when he saw this.

'Damn it! They've killed a Magical Beast, and I'm still here.'

He wanted to kill one of the Magical Beasts he was fighting against, but he knew that if he acted carelessly, then he would be in danger.

Klaus laughed in delight and continued taunting the Winged Tiger. This time, he was going to make sure it suffered a loss if it dared to attack him again.

The Winged Tiger was already furious, seeing that Klaus was taunting it, it roared in fury and attacked.

Wind blades shot at Klaus.

Klaus hastily raised an ice wall, but after being struck by so many wind blades, it started to fall apart.

'Damn! So powerful!' He exclaimed in his heart.

He was not a match for the Winged Tiger, all he could do now was to hope that Grey or Reynolds took care of their opponents in time and rush over to help him.
