Affinity: Chaos Chapter 982 A Cut Above The Rest

Chapter 982 A Cut Above The Rest

Grey rushed across the platform with the young man behind him, frantically trying to get a hold of him.

Everyone could see the crazed look in the eyes of the young man. No one could say anything since the battle wasn't over yet, and if anything, he was the one in a bad state, so those from the Burchard Family were a little helpless.

They could feel their hearts throbbing from anxiety. The young man's plan was as clear as day,

Grey moved as fast as lightning, but the young man was right behind him. Given their small s.p.a.ce, it was a little harder to maneuver from such a race.

Thinking hard, Grey flew down, landing on the platform. This was the place he had the highest advantage. With the help of his arrays, he could move faster and probably might be able to even knock the young man away.

The young man attacked with the lightning element, his attack power seemingly seeing an almost thirty percent increase.

Grey dodged the attack, but was met with another fierce attack from his opponent. He couldn't dodge this one, so he blocked it, but it pushed him back.

Before he could retain his footing, the young man was already getting close to him. Without even thinking, he used the gravitational force field, while also using the repulsive force from the s.p.a.ce element to push the young man away from where he was standing.

The young man took on everything, discarding his safety as he tried to shorten the gap between them.

'Does he want to sacrifice his life?' Grey almost freaked out when he saw this.

The young man's flesh was starting to peel off from the pressure of both the gravitational force field and the s.p.a.ce element attack he used, but the young man refused to budge, edging closer to Grey.

An orb appeared in Grey's hand as he sent it at the young man. Since he wanted to take on attacks this much, then he would entertain him.

Just as the attack was about to hit the young man, he moved.

'Got you.' Grey smiled and the inscription lit up, firing an attack to the right side of the young man even before he moved.

When he released the first attack, he studied the young man's body language, he predicted the side he would move to when he wanted to dodge the attack, so he used the inscription which had a higher attack power to attack that area. As long as the young man landed there, he would find it almost impossible to dodge this attack.

The young man saw Grey's attack coming, but he couldn't stop his body since he had already taken the step. Stopping now would be even more dangerous.

Gritting his teeth, he shot a beam of darkness at the attack coming his way. The two attacks collided and an explosion followed suit.

Grey and the young man were relatively close to where the explosion took place, so both of them were affected by the attack.

The young man was closer to it, so he felt the full brunt of it.

Grey was forced back, but with the help of the earth armor he created, he was safe.

The young man on the other hand was caught up in the explosion. His figure soon vanished from everyone's line of view.

Grey squinted his eyes to look at the explosion, and his eyes changed when he saw something coming at him.

'd.a.m.n it! What the h.e.l.l is wrong with this guy?' He was visibly getting upset by the young man.

The young man's figure shot out of the place where the explosion took place, bloodied, but he was still rus.h.i.+ng after Grey. This time, his speed was faster than before.

Grey tried to dodge, but the young man moved too fast, and he never expected he would attack him even after being hit by such an attack.

The young man soon got to where Grey was standing, and just as he was about to grab a hold of Grey, something else happened.

Grey suddenly exploded out with an explosive punch. The force and speed behind the punch was out of the world.

No one expected Grey to use his physical strength to attack, but the result of it stunned everyone.

The punch connected cleanly with the chest of the young man, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before slamming into the ground, bouncing off a couple of times.

This time, unlike before, he didn't stand up immediately. His figure was already very close to being disfigured from the previous attacks, now, his chest was caved in, and it was evident that some of his ribs were broken.

"Give up, you're powerful, but you can not defeat me." Grey couldn't help but say.

The young man was breathing heavily, but he still forced himself to stand up.

"if you continue, you will die." Grey's eyes turned cold as he looked at the young man, after not getting any response, he added, "I have no problems with ending you though."

The young man raised his head as he looked at Grey.

"Do… you think you can kill me?" The young man paused mid-sentence to spit out the blood in his mouth.

Even after being battered, he still didn't want to give up.

Grey's breath wasn't that relaxed, it was clear that the battle had been very taxing for him. If the battle continued at the same intensity, he might not be able to hold on.

Gritting his teeth, the young man moved out once again.

'f.u.c.k!' Grey cursed internally.

Now he knew how it felt to fight against an opponent who refuses to give up. It was irritating. Even after everything the young man had gone through, he still wanted to fight against him.

'Fine, I'll kill you. I'm done playing.'

Grey's eyes changed, and he entered a different mode.

Everyone noticed the sudden change in Grey's aura and they couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver at the sight of it.

"Such bloodl.u.s.t, is he even a kid?"

The Elders from the Burchard Family looked at Grey in shock. For him to have this high level of bloodl.u.s.t meant that he had killed countless people.

Grey was out to kill now, he wouldn't hold back anymore.

Boom!

With Grey at the center, a powerful energy spread out and Grey's aura which was on the Eighth stage moved up by a stage, entering the Ninth stage.

"What?!"

The old man stood up from his seat, he was dumbstruck.

Grey being able to increase his strength by three stages was already shocking enough, now, he could actually increase by a stage further? What does that mean? An increase of four stages!

"Impossible!"

Those from the Nether Faction all stood up as they saw Grey. Lucien in particular already felt Grey was too strong when they fought, but seeing him still have such a trump card hidden, he couldn't help but shake his head in defeat. Grey held back when fighting against him, and he still almost killed him. This meant that Grey never took him seriously from the start. And he thought their battle was a close one.

While everyone was still in a state of shock, Grey's aura didn't stop there, it edged very close to the Peak of the Sage Plane before coming to a stop. Everyone noticed that it took a toll on Grey since he looked skinnier compared to how he was before.

'As expected, it's not free. No wonder he had never used this stage before. His body can't take more than this.'

This was what everyone thought. However, they didn't know this was Grey's doing since he didn't want them to think that he was using such a technique without any repercussions.

If they knew, they might want to kill him just to get the technique. That was a risk he was not willing to take.??ee?e??ov?l*???

The young man attacked, but he was met with a strong defensive wall set up by Grey.

Grey stepped out from the wall and attacked with the fire element.

Lightning b.u.t.terflies soon appeared on the platform. Each of them were made from silver lightning. Not just these b.u.t.terflies, but there were mixes of pale blue b.u.t.terflies as well.

Grey was using his icy flames now. His icy flame domain appeared at this moment as well.

The young man unleashed his darkness domain once again as he tried to fight off Grey's attacks.

The moment Grey increased his cultivation stage, his power saw another increase and he started to overwhelm the young man. The young man could barely block any of Grey's attacks since they were more than what it previously was. With the addition of the array, Grey's attack power was on the level of those at the Peak of the Sage Plane.

"This kid…"

No one knew how to rate Grey any longer. He had already gone above all their previous ratings.
