Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1476 Sky-shaking Battle

?Grey stood in the middle of four figures that were sent flying. He didn't make another move, he could already tell that all four of them were dead.

The man in the Pseudo-Sovereign stage thought at least one or two of the people would survive, but Grey didn't attack with the intent of letting any of them go.

When Grey appeared, he unleashed his shocking killing intent which froze the unsuspecting men before using the fusion orb. He didn't only use it, but he attacked with a series of attacks that went off at the same time. The fusion orb was the strongest and it covered the rest of the attacks. This was the reason the Pseudo-Sovereign didn't notice it.

He heaved a sigh of relief when the Pseudo-Sovereign didn't go after Conor who left as soon as he used the talisman. It was clear that the man was still in shock at Grey's sudden attack.

The Pseudo-Sovereign turned around slowly, and his eyes widened when he realized that all four people were dead. Their bodies suffered from different elemental attacks, from rotting from the darkness element, to being frozen by the water element, one of them was burnt to a crisp, while the last suffered from Grey's fire elemental attack.

Grey used four elements to attack while also using the fusion orb which was very powerful. The four didn't have the chance to defend against Grey's attacks since they didn't expect him to attack them at such a time.

In the end, Grey killed all of them with the aid of his ability to launch a surprise attack.

The Pseudo-Sovereign looked at Grey, his eyes turned red from anger.

"You… killed them."

"You didn't think I'd follow you without retaliating, did you?" Grey asked with a sarcastic smile.

The Pseudo-Sovereign laughed and nodded, "Haha, good, I'll enjoy killing you."

Grey could sense the killing intent from the body of the man, but he didn't feel any fear. He had a greater killing intent than what the man was showing.

Grey's killing intent had the ability to render his opponent motionless. He had trained it to a stage where it could be used as a form of mental attack. As long as he was stronger than his opponent, and they had a weak will, they could be easily overwhelmed by his killing intent, rendering them incapable of fighting back.

The man attacked, but Grey was prepared. Over the past few weeks, he wasn't on the same level as the first time he encountered a Pseudo-Sovereign, now, he could put up a fight against one.

Even though he hadn't broken through, he was still growing in strength everyday.

The man's attack was blocked by Grey who countered with an attack of his own. He didn't give the man any chance to take advantage of his superior attack power.

The man was taken aback when he saw Grey countering his attack. He never thought a Peak Venerable would ever be able to fight back against a Pseudo-Sovereign like himself, but to his shock, Grey was fighting against him without feeling the pressure of his higher cultivation stage.

He couldn't help but wonder if he was useless, or if Grey was just too strong. He soon got his answer after taking one of Grey's attacks head-on.

The attack rocked him, making him take a step back. He didn't know whether to celebrate that he wasn't useless or be dumbfounded at Grey's shocking attack power.

Grey attacked once again, but this time, he was already prepared for it. Without hesitation, he dodged it. He was a Wind Elementalist which gave him frightening speed.

He didn't give Grey the chance to attack again before unleashing his wind domain.

A wind gust enveloped the area and multiple wind blades shot at Grey.

Grey tried to use his fire and lightning domain, but the wind domain of the Pseudo-Sovereign overpowered his domains which was within his expectations. He withdrew his domains and brought out his earth and water domain. They were the best for defense, so he opted to use them.

With his earth domain, the area around him was within his control, and his water domain created multiple ice shards that shot in every direction.

The man blocked the attacks before attacking Grey.

The duo engaged in a back and forth battle. Both parties were almost on the same grade, strength wise, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the Pseudo-Sovereign had the slight advantage.

The Pseudo-Sovereign hadn't been able to take advantage of this due to Grey's versatility. Having the space element, water and earth element meant that his defensive prowess was unbelievable. He could dodge most attacks at shocking speed, and retaliate within a second.

Their battle shook the skies and powerhouses in cities kilometers away could feel the pressure from the fight. Most of the Cities at the edge of most regions didn't have people above the Sage Plane in most cases. While there were a few in the Venerable Plane.

The battle currently taking place was above their level, and if they dared to go close, they might get caught in the aftereffects and get seriously wounded, if not dead.

Kilometers away from the battleground.

Conor looked at the sky that was changing colors from the battle that was taking place.

"To think he'd grow so fast." He said with a wry smile.

He thought he was advancing at a quick speed, but Grey was a freak. Not just Grey, he also knew of Grey's friends and their cultivation speed as well. It was as if all those close to Grey were not advancing at the same pace as others. It was shocking to think that they've not been well-known in the Aurora Continent all this while.

Such geniuses are heavily guarded by their Factions, but the group of friends are almost always out of the Faction, with the exception of the figure in the Moon Faction.

Conor wanted to grow stronger, but he knew it was a fool's wish to think he could catch up to Grey.
