Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1439 I'd Like To Try

Chapter 1439  I'd Like To Try

"Elder, I couldn't succeed with the mission, someone beat me to it."

One of the figures replied.

The two figures soon came to light and they were the man Grey spoke with a while back and the other person was an old man with wrinkles.

"What do you mean someone beat you to it?" The old man asked with a cold expression.

"Lewis was defeated and all the goods were destroyed." The man replied.

"Such incompetence." The old man scolded, "How did you come about this information?"

"Lewis sent for me and told me about it. While I was here, my siblings were apprehended. Apparently, Lewis was under the person who defeated him and he tried to betray me." The man replied.

The old man snorted coldly, he looked around.

"Who is the person capable of defeating your siblings?" The old man asked.

The man was about to reply when Grey and his group stepped out.

"It's us, we are the ones who defeated them. You'll be joining them soon." Grey said.

"What's the meaning of this?" The old man turned to the man.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice." The man shrugged and retreated a few steps back, standing behind Grey's group.

"Elder Julian." Aries cried out.

She was familiar with this Elder, he was one of the oldest Elders in the Faction and even though he is still in the Venerable Plane, he was highly respected. Only a handful of people could be said to be on the same level in terms of status with the old man in the Phoenix Faction. Aries would never believe such a respected Elder would be involved in something like this.

"Little one." Elder Julian dropped his head, he knew Aries. He wasn't familiar with Grey and his friends since he didn't step out during the trial, he had more important things to do at that time.

"You're a Necromancer?" Aries asked, still in disbelief.

Elder Julian wanted to deny this, but then again, thinking of the fact that they overheard his conversation, he didn't speak.

"For someone my age, and with my cultivation stage, I have no other choice. I would've been able to break through if I was given a few more years to complete my plan." Elder Julian said.

"At the cost of the lives of our Faction members?" Aries asked, "These people have families that were waiting for them, but you ended their lives because of your selfish desires."

"I'm sorry, I truly am, but there are certain things I had to do. I'm nearing the end of my lifespan, I need to increase my cultivation to ensure that I will have longer years ahead of me." Elder Julian said.

"You're already so old, what more do you want to experience that you haven't?" Klaus asked seriously.

Everyone looked at the man, awaiting his reply.

"The birth of a G.o.d. I want to see a G.o.d being born from this continent." The Elder replied emotionally.

"There was a vision about a G.o.d being born in the near future, I have to be part of the people to experience this." He added.

"You killed them all because you wanted to see someone become a G.o.d after hearing or seeing that vision?" Aries asked.

The man nodded.

Aries' voice shook as she asked, "What about the people you caused their death, don't they deserve such a future as well?"

"A little sacrifice for the greater good."

"What about you seeing the birth of a G.o.d is a greater good?" Klaus was stunned at the man's shamelessness.

If the man had said he was the one who was going to become a G.o.d after killing all those people, it would've at least been reasonable, but the man is saying he killed those people just so he could stand a chance to see a G.o.d. What was the possibility he wouldn't be killed in a fight before that time?

"You…"

Grey attacked, he wasn't in the mood to listen to the man's useless sermon. If he had been saying something worth listening to, he would've at least tried to listen to him, but in this case, there was no point doing so, the man was a psychopath who shouldn't even be listened to.

Klaus and Reynolds followed Grey's lead, attacking the man as well.

"He's close to becoming a Pseudo…"

Aries paused mid-sentence as the trio's attacks were sent flying back to them.

"He has the ability to repel attacks. He's a s.p.a.ce Elementalist, but also has the fire and darkness element." She explained.

"I see." Grey didn't budge, destroying the attack coming his way.

He also knew how to use his s.p.a.ce element to repel attacks, but he wasn't as proficient with it like the man.

The man stood in the sky, untouched by any of the attacks.

"Little one, you know me so well. You should also know that if I get serious, only those in the Sovereign Plane can stop me." The old man was calm, he looked at Grey, "I know you. You're the one the Gnomes want dead."

Grey didn't know how the man was able to recognize him even though he hadn't said his name, but he wasn't worried. He would kill the man even if he doesn't know.

"Attack together, we can end him." Klaus said.

"There's a limit to the strength of attack he can repel." Grey was composed.

He joined Klaus and instead of using his normal blue flames, he used his icy flame domain, enforcing Klaus' attack in the process.

The second the domain covered the man, a thin s.h.i.+eld appeared around the man, it was clear that it was what he uses to repel attacks coming his way.

When the domain hit the film, the domain couldn't pa.s.s through and was forced to move around it. The man was covered in the domain, but he was perfectly safe in his s.p.a.ce.

"This is my s.p.a.ce, do you think you will be able to break it?" The man asked.

"I'd like to try." Reynolds prepared a lightning spear, focusing all his energy at the tip.

The man scoffed as Reynolds sent the spear at him, but his expression soon turned serious.
