Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1000 Short Exchange

Chapter 1000 Short Exchange

The building in front of them had an archaic look, well, all of them felt this way as well.

When he got close to the building, it felt like he was standing in front of something as old as time. For a moment, he didn't take a step, a little shocked by what was in front of him, this was the first time he was getting close to one of these buildings.

The building looked exceptionally strong, even with its ancient look.

Grey soon snapped out of his reverie and rushed into the building.

'It better have a small dimension I can hide in, or else I'll be in a whole lot of trouble.

Grey knew entering this building would give his pursuers a chance to get closer to him, but it presented a chance for him to escape from their pursuit, so he couldn't afford to miss the chance. After all, the life of Elementalists was a risk in itself.

The large double doors closed shut after he went in, giving him a small sense of hope that this place might have what he wanted.

He continued moving forward, the inside of the building was extremely large, compared to how it looked from the outside, it was easily twice the size of the building outside.

Even though he was in a hurry, he wouldn't be so careless that he would rush through this place. There might be dangers in the building.

He left the large hall and stepped into the pa.s.sageway, seeing the doors leading to rooms, he was very cautious. He was not the least bit tempted to open any of the doors since it might bring more trouble for him.

Just as he was walking, he heard the door slam shut behind him.

'Guess this place isn't it.' He thought to himself.

'Void, check which of them came in.'

Void vanished from Grey's shoulder and appeared in the large hall, he saw a young man.

'It's the guy in the Eighth stage.' Void reported.

'How long do you think it would take before we take him out?' Grey asked.

'Two minutes tops.' Void replied confidently.

He could defeat the young man on his own, adding Grey to the mix would make things faster.

'Alright, the sooner the better.'

Grey soon started to prepare arrays, he wanted to ambush the young man. With Void hiding behind the young man, there was no way he could escape from their pincer attack.

The young man soon chased after Grey, but he was just as careful as Grey since he knew how dangerous such buildings were.

He followed the mark and soon got to where Grey was standing, waiting for him.

"Where's your comrade?" Grey asked curiously.

He was very calm, staring at the young man as if he was staring into his soul.

"I'm more than enough to kill you. Before she comes, your corpse will be on the ground." The young man said confidently.

Grey chuckled before shaking his head, "Well, here I am."

He spread his arms, waiting for the young man to attack.

The young man took a step forward, then paused. The thought of Grey setting up an ambush crossed his mind, but then again, he looked at Grey and felt they were not on the same level. He was in the Eighth stage while Grey was only in the Sixth stage.

Although he was confident, he didn't dare to underestimate Grey, he cautiously advanced while preparing to defend with full force. He was covered by a black mist as he advanced.

"So cautious." Grey chuckled before snapping his finger.

The walls, floor, as well as ceiling lit up with array lines.

The young man allowed the mist surrounding him to spread out, and with a powerful roar, the mist started to thicken, going into a somewhat liquid state.

Grey took a step forward and the pa.s.sageway was covered by a large stream of fire. He used his fire domain. Since he wanted to make sure he was on the safer side, he used the icy flames.

Ice started to form in the mist covering the young man.

However, before it could get through, the mist not only blocked it but also started to devour it.

'Void...'

Grey called out to Void while doing a slas.h.i.+ng motion with his hand.

Void appeared behind the young man and also attacked. He used spatial distortions to break through the defensive mist set up by the young man.

The mist started to show signs of breaking apart, a worried expression appeared on the face of the young man when he noticed this. Just as he was about to reinforce the part where Void's attack came from, Grey's dimensional slash attack hit the mist from the other side.

A large hole opened up in the mist, giving Grey the opportunity he was waiting for.

Stretching his hand forward, a lightning bolt shot through the hole. When the lightning entered the mist, it quickly spread apart, forming Grey's lightning domain.

The young man screamed when the lightning started to rampage all over his body.

An item appeared on his hand and he crushed it.

"Stop him!"

Grey and Void moved out simultaneously, and just as they were about to attack, the young man vanished.

"d.a.m.n it, I didn't get the chance to mark him." Grey complained as he felt a bit annoyed that the young man escaped.

The reason he was feeling annoyed was that after exchanging blows with the young man, he already knew some of his techniques, so he would be able to inform the others from the Gnome race about Grey and his strength.

"We should get going too, I think I heard the door slamming shut." Void said when Grey was still rueing his wasted chance.

Grey nodded and followed after Void, heading in another direction.

There were other doors to leave this place, so they wanted to take it.

As the duo was leaving, the young lady at the Peak of the Sage Plane had just entered the building. She soon sensed where Grey was located and chased after them.
