Affinity:Chaos

Grey didn't give up in his chase as he went after the trail.

A few minutes later, he looked towards an empty stone building. The building wasn't large but it was quite secluded in the woods.

"Well hidden. A shame for him made sure he wouldn't be able to escape." Grey chuckled and went towards the building.

As soon as he got close, he sensed an unstable aura.

He was about to enter the place when he sensed an attack.

"Oh, an array." He wasn't bothered with the array as he waved his hand which dealt with it easily. The array appeared and broke apart.

Grey noticed movements in the house as the man walked out of the place.

"You're the one who harmed my friend?" Grey took a good look at the man.

The man was staring at the young man standing in front of him, a little stunned. The fact that Grey was able to track him here showed how outstanding he is. However, he didn't sense the aura of a Sovereign, rather, he could tell that he was at the Peak of the Venerable Plane.

"You're the one that's coming?" The man asked, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I should've stayed and killed that punk if I knew it was a kid that's coming."

The man then looked at Grey, licking his lips maliciously, "Looks like I'll kill you first and turn you into a puppet. That stupid kid has halted my breakthrough, I need new supplements to help me achieve what I need."

"Oh, no wonder. Klaus has always been very wise." Grey understood the reason behind the use of such amount of heavy water. It was not only to track him down, if not he wouldn't have used this much, rather, it was to make it impossible for the man to break through to the Sovereign Plane.

The fact that Klaus could think ahead even in their current state showed his incredible thought process.

Grey looked at the man and said, "My friend, the ice guy, he wants me to bring you to him. Apparently, you angered him. I've only seen him this angry on one occasion, and the outcome wasn't nice."

The man looked at Grey, "Even in this situation, I can take you on. I'll kill you and then kill them."

"You see, he's not the only one who's angry. I too am very angry, but I'm quite civil." Grey said with a cold smile.

The man saw Grey's smile and he couldn't help but wonder what's wrong with the kids he encountered today. It was like they were all psychopaths. First it was Alice and Reynolds, and then Klaus who irritated him to no end, and now there's Grey.

Unlike the others, he's getting a different feeling from Grey. It was the feeling of someone capable of achieving anything.

The man's aura burst out and its domineering nature spread out. Even though the man hasn't broken through to the Sovereign Plane, he could be regarded as a Pseudo-Sovereign, an entity that almost got to the Sovereign Plane but failed due to some issues.

There are some people who actually become too strong in the Venerable Plane and directly become Pseudo-Sovereigns, but they are rare. Most Pseudo-Sovereigns always tend to break through to the Sovereign Plane, only a handful find it impossible to achieve.

"You think I'll be afraid because you're a fake Sovereign?" Grey asked mockingly.

The man looked at Grey, "Kid, I'll be a Sovereign soon, and once I've attained that, I'll kill you and your friends. None of you will make it out alive. Even your family members will not be spared."

"If I take you to my family, you'd end up being a servant." Grey's words angered the man.

The man exploded out and attacked.

Grey was a Multi Elementalist who had every element possible, there was no way he was on the same level as Klaus and the others the man was fighting.

An earth wall came from the ground to block the attack.

Bang!

The man's attack hit the wall but it only showed some cracks, it didn't fall apart.

The man was taken aback when he saw this, and just as he was about to attack, he felt a sense of danger and turned to see Grey's fist coming towards his chest.

The man knew there was no way to dodge the attack from such close distance. He used a black orb to strike Grey's fist, hoping to force Grey back. To his shock, this didn't deter Grey's fist, but the first moved faster and struck him cleanly on the chest.

Grey looked at his fist and shook his head, "A shame I couldn't hit him full blow."

The man was able to significantly reduce the impact of the attack thanks to the darkness orb he used to attack Grey at the last minute.

The man slammed into Grey's earth wall, breaking it apart and continuing his crash. He crashed into some trees, felling them in the process.

The man coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at his state.

"It hasn't even been minutes since I used that tonic. What's wrong with all these kids?!" The man was stunned.

He used a powerful healing tonic he acquired some years back. The tonic was able to make his healing faster and help him regrow the missing parts of his body. But now Grey's first attack has broken the ribs he just fixed. He couldn't believe all this happened from just one attack.

When he thought about the fact that he didn't take the full powered attack but part of it, he shivered at the thought of what could happen to him when one of Grey's attacks hit.

"A Space Elementalist, no wonder he caught up with me so soon." The man had a worried expression on his face, now he understood why the others were waiting for Grey.

Although it has been just one attack, Grey has shown him that he wasn't like the others and was very deadly. The fact that he was a Space Elementalist made him even more dangerous. Being able to move wherever he wants against an opponent as slow as the man meant that he had the advantage in this fight.

Of course, this doesn't mean the man can't fight with Grey, it just means that he would take a good beating, but there's hope for him to win as long as he fought with his brain.

The man walked out of the place, watching Grey who stood on the same spot, waiting for him.

"Cocky, I must say you have every reason to be." The man praised while spitting off the bit of blood that was still in his mouth, "But one thing you should know is that disobeying your elders will never end kindly for you."

"You're strong, I'll give you that, but if you think you can kill me, then I'm sorry to say that you're dreaming."

Grey tilted his head sideways, and after getting to an angle, he paused, gave a smile and a black long slashed appeared close to the man.

"Fuck!" The man cursed unconsciously.

The danger level of this attack was off the roof. And given how sudden the attack was, he didn't have time to react. He did his best to dodge the attack, but his left arm was hit and was cut off.

"Damn it! I just fixed one and now this?!" The man was irate, but this wasn't the time to feel that way.

Grey was exceeding his expectations, and if this continued, then he would surely die at Grey's hands. He didn't want to die, especially now.

Grey, like a machine, rushed after the man, dishing out one attack after another.

The man blocked as if his life depended on it, well, it did depend on it.

Grey was a mixed form of Alice, Reynolds, and Klaus in one body. He had Klaus' defense, both Alice and Reynolds' speed, and then Reynolds' explosiveness.

Since he was a single entity, it meant he could work in better coordination compared to the others, and he also didn't have to worry about blocking attacks for anyone else.

This is one of the reasons Multi Elementalists are feared. However, not all of them are as well rounded as Grey is. Grey has trained his elements very highly and also attained four domains. Doing that was unbelievable. Only a Multi Elementalist like Grey could put a Pseudo-Sovereign in such a state, other Multi Elementalists, even if they were equipped with the elements Grey is using for this battle, they still wouldn't be able to achieve this feat.

The man focused on defending, he was already injured from the previous battle. He hadn't completely healed up from that battle but he had been injured once again. This was a depressing thing to experience.

Grey wasn't in a hurry, he could tell the man wasn't in a good state, and taking him out would only take some time.
