Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 180 - Not In The Mood To Kill

Boom! Bam!

The fight quickly got heated, and Grey's opponent was none other than the leader of the group who was in the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane. He was a Water Elementalist, and he's quite strong as well. Well, that would be if he was facing someone else, in front of Grey, he wasn't much.

To the young man's greatest surprise, he was instantly put on the defensive when fighting against Grey, and the most annoying thing was that he could see that Grey wasn't even too focused on him.

'Who is he? How can he be so strong?' He thought to himself.

Although the geniuses here weren't from the same empire, there have been a few who had grown famous amongst the ranks in the trial land through battles. But the young man hadn't heard of anyone who had blue flames, and he also saw Grey using the earth element, which made him a Dual Elementalist.

"I don't know why I'm being nice today, but I'll warn you once again, turn around now before it gets too late." Grey warned again.

He didn't know what's happening to him today, but since he isn't in the mood to kill anyone, he thought it might be good to one the young man once again.

"And miss out on the treasure? Not a chance." The young man said determinedly, not backing down in any way.

"Fine." Grey's eyes went cold.

He didn't want to waste any more time.

"Rey, what the hell are you doing? Full power you idiot!" Klaus cursed out when he saw Reynolds was only fighting with his elements.

"F.u.c.k you! You moron!" Reynolds cursed?out like always and immediately summoned his Elemental Warrior.

The duo fighting against Klaus and Reynolds initially thought they were about to start fighting against each other when they cursed at one another, but on seeing the Elemental Warrior, their faces turned pale from fright.

They sensed the stage of the Elemental Warrior and got an even bigger fright, it was a stage ahead of them. But they knew its real strength would be at the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane, on could they fight against it.

In a minute and a half, the group of five were all in their last legs. Grey was beating the youth in the Fifth stage while also using his inscription to assist the Elemental Warrior which was fighting against two people, although it was overpowering them, Grey felt the sooner they were defeated, the better. Klaus' opponent wasn't having it good as well, since he had to face two assaults, one from Klaus' element, and the other, from his mouth.

Just like always, Klaus had gotten used to cursing at his opponent while fighting. While the most pitiful was the young lady who was fighting against Void. At first, she found it strange that a cute little black cat wanted to fight against her, but now, she didn't see him as cute, rather all she saw was a little devil.

Unlike the others, Void wasn't holding anything back and was attacking at almost full power. Had it not been for Grey threatening not to give him food a few times, he would have already killed the young lady multiple times already. But it didn't stop him from hurting her though, he was a magical beast after all, and it was his nature to be violent.

"I didn't plan for things to happen this way, but it was all because of your greed. Also, we truly are going to meet our friend." Grey said before turning away to leave.

After the group turned around, the trio continued their journey.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Since when did you turn so soft?" Klaus couldn't help but ask.

He found Grey's behavior quite odd, since he knew Grey, this was the first time he saw him behaving this soft to others.

"I don't know, maybe I'm not just in the mood to kill anyone today." Grey said with a faint smile.

"Oh, okay." Klaus nodded.

He knew there were also times when one wouldn't feel like doing something, since his friend didn't feel like killing today, then so be it!

"We should increase our speed, I think we're getting close." Grey said and tried to see if there was a way to get the object to move faster.

He held it in his palm while protecting it with the earth element, whenever he notices it wanted to turn, he'll let it go, after it turned, he'll hold it once again and continue moving forward.

"Looks like she's here." Grey said after seeing the wooden object float into the mouth of the cave.

"Yeah, guess she found a treasure after all." Klaus said with a glim flashing through his eyes.

If it truly was a treasure, then it wouldn't be an ordinary one. Since Alice wouldn't call them over because of an ordinary treasure.

"We can't be too sure yet, let's head in first." Grey said and walked into the cave.

The others followed suit.

Entering inside, they immediately saw a tunnel that led deeper into the cave, and walked in while cautiously observing the place.

'Anything good?' Grey asked Void.

'No, but I sense people up ahead.' Void said after a while.

"Hmm, let's pick up the pace." Grey urged the orders and quickly sprinted forward.

In the depths of the cave.

Alice was currently surrounded by the trio, and the young man with the black scar was laughing out loudly.

"Hehehe, I have you now, I promise, you'll remember this moment for the rest of your life." He licked his lips as he approached Alice.

"I have to say, you're quite strong, this will make the experience worthwhile." One of the twins said.

He still couldn't believe that it took three of them almost twenty minutes before they could beat her.

Alice who was currently sitting on the floor looked up and her eyes turned watery, she didn't think she will ever face a situation like this in her life. She felt like instead of something like this happening to her, it was better to end her life.

'Goodbye, guys. I hope you don't miss me too much.' She thought with a sad smile.

Just as she was about to control the lightning in her body towards her heart, she heard an all too familiar voice.

"Hey bud, are you sure you're not in the mood to kill today?"
