Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1414 Remarkable Specimen

Chapter 1414  Remarkable Specimen

Boom! Bang!

"d.a.m.n it!"

Bang!

"Ah! What are you made of?"

An aggravated cry accompanied with pain sounded in the forest. The stone house had been destroyed and this part of the forest had been almost wiped clean of trees from the impact of the battle between Grey and the man.

Grey was currently using his armor, not just that, but he activated his earth domain and made it thanks to a technique he acquired after consuming the Tortoise's blood essence which made his defense almost impenetrable.

The man had managed to land a few attacks on Grey's body, but they all bounced off which angered the man. It was like he was fighting against a figure that can't be harmed. What was the point of fighting against such a person, it was absolutely pointless.

Escaping was out of the question, he knew he wasn't as fast as Grey, so there was no point even attempting that. Grey was relentless in his attacks, not giving the man any chance to even catch his breath. The man had tried to engage him in a conversation a few times since the start of the battle, but Grey hadn't obliged with his intentions which he found very frustrating.

"That friend of yours will die soon, I can feel it. Why don't you take him somewhere he can get healed?" The man tried to convince Grey.

Grey didn't respond, using his blue flames to send a flaming wheel at the man.

The man blocked the attack, but couldn't keep his footing and staggered back.

"Fine! I'll heal him!" The man didn't want to take the risk of fighting a life and death battle with Grey.

One of his hands has been cut off and so had some ribs been broken, but he could work them out later on. If the battle continued, he honestly did not know what the outcome would be, but he was sure that his chances were pretty low.

He's a veteran and knows when there's a chance and when there isn't.

"I'll take care of him, you don't have to bother about him. Worry about your life." Grey finally responded, but it wasn't a reply the man was hoping to get.

"Fine, since that's how you want it, I'll accompany you. After killing you, I'll hunt every single person you know." The man said with a cold expression and a little figure appeared before him.

"I've dedicated my life's work into her body. She contains so much energy, with it, I'll be able to instantly break through to the Sovereign Plane and end you."

The man laughed evilly, as much as he wanted to bring his daughter back to life, his life is the most important in the end. At the moment, there was no way to save his life. If he fought with Grey in this state, he would undoubtedly be defeated and killed.

He raised his hand towards the little figure, and just when he was about to grab her, the figure didn't react the way he wanted. He looked at it and the little figure wasn't as little as it used to be, rather, a cold looking young man was standing in front of him, a punch heading his way.

Grey switched places with the puppet the man brought out. He tried to cut the connection the man had with it and realized it was actually very different from the other puppets he had encountered. He could break the connection, but it wouldn't be instantaneous, so he did the next best thing, he didn't know what the man wanted to do, but luckily, the man spilled the beans.

The man reacted quickly, and created a thick darkness dome that he used to block the attack.

He was covered in the dome, but he was sent flying while still in the dome.

Grey didn't stand to watch, he rushed to where the little girl was and when he saw that she was dead but turned into a puppet, he felt irritated at the man. He wanted to kill the man when he saw this.

He sensed the girl's body and noticed what the man said, there truly is a vast amount of pure energy in her body.

Grey kept the puppet in his spatial storage, while warning Void not to touch it. He wanted to study how the man was able to achieve this feat.

"Where did you put her?!" The man's enraged roar came out from the darkness dome that had cracks all around.

The man wasn't like his previous state, rather, he looked to have entered a frenzied state.

"Looks like this girl is important to you." Grey commented.

"That's my daughter, hand her over." The man attacked while speaking.

The man suddenly grew faster and even his aura changed slightly.

Grey looked at the man and frowned, "At this rate he will break through."

Even with Klaus' heavy water, it could only slow down the breakthrough, not stop it completely. The man is in an enraged state and his senses are heightened. This was normal for Elementalists, especially those close to a breakthrough. A small change in emotions or even environment can arouse them and hasten the breakthrough.

"Good thing Klaus used a lot." Grey heaved a sigh.

If the man truly broke through, then he would escape without looking back. No matter how strong the man would become, there was no way he could travel thousands of meters in one step. But Grey could do that in his current state and he would leave in a flash. But due to Klaus using a lot of heavy water, even with the change in emotion, there was no way he would be able to break through soon.

Grey attacked the man, but the man blocked it. He was in a stronger state compared to before and he attacked, this time, he was the relentless attacker.

However, against an opponent like Grey, that was the worst thing to do. After two attacks, the man didn't attack in that manner and switched up very quickly.

The man was still taking the lead, but he didn't try to force his way against Grey anymore, rather, he started attacking ingeniously.

Grey started to show signs of some struggle keeping up with the man. He was faster, but the man managed to break through his defense two times and each of the man's attacks were dangerous. If not for his strong physique, he wouldn't be standing.

The man was dumbfounded at the fact that Grey was still standing. He knew that he had only hit him twice, but each of those attacks was enough to take the life of a regular Peak Venerable. Even if Grey was not a regular Venerable, he should still show the signs of the attack, but Grey still had the same demeanor and movement from the start. It was as if he hadn't been hit by any attack.

Grey continued fighting and the man soon made use of an array which surprised Grey, but then he recalled about the array he shattered when he arrived.

A battle of arrays had always intrigued Grey. He didn't stop the man, rather, he also created a quick array. He didn't spend too much time and his array was ready when the man's attack was heading his way.

His array blocked the attack coming his way, making sure it couldn't touch him.

The man's eyes were filled with shock when he saw Grey using an array as well.

"What are you made of?" The man asked once again.

At the moment he purely believed that Grey was given birth to, rather, he was created by someone. There is no way a human should have such abilities at such a young age.

Grey didn't reply to the man as he continued to use his array to attack the man.

The man blocked the attack and tried to get closer to Grey, with the help of another array, his speed increased significantly and he was as fast as Reynolds.

Grey used his s.p.a.ce element to create a distance between them once again and continued his battle.

He didn't want to allow the man to get close to him. The man's current strength meant that a close battle would be dangerous for him. If he was. .h.i.t by another of the man's attacks, he wouldn't be able to hold up and might cave in. Once that happens, the man would be able to kill him.

The man noticed that Grey didn't want him close to him and realized his attacks were working, it's just that they weren't enough to take Grey down yet. This thought amazed him, anyone else would've been down after being hit with them, but Grey was still fighting such a high intensity battle.

'A remarkable specimen. I'll keep his corpse intact. Such a puppet will take me to the top!'

And since his daughter was with Grey, he had to make sure Grey releases her before he dies.
