Affinity:Chaos
chapter-1358

Of the fifteen in the Late stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, only ten were left alive, and they hadn't even started the battle yet. Klaus had killed off five people in such a short time, using the exact same trick.

What was worse was that they didn't know how to react to his taunts. Klaus was too powerful, and given their strength, there was no way they could beat him.

"Kill him! Don't let them team up."

One of the Late stage Elemental Venerables spoke up and rushed forward. This time, they wanted to take action.

"After so long, I was starting to get bored of waiting." Reynolds smirked and his Elemental Warrior appeared.

He hadn't merged with his Elemental Warrior since it got to the Peak of the Venerable Plane. The thought of merging with it came to mind, but he decided to wait until they were facing the six at the Peak. Although Grey seemed to be doing fine, it was evident that he was stressed. Stopping all six of them from heading to the other battlefield was quite difficult, even for Grey.

If not for Grey's space element, he would've not been able to achieve this. He was difficult to stop, while it was easy for him to make sure these guys didn't go anywhere.

Reynolds charged into battle, alongside his Elemental Warrior. Now, they didn't have to worry about the large numbers. With just ten people left, he was confident in being able to handle some of them.

Alice also didn't merge with her Seelie, there was no need to since their opponents were all in the Seventh stage, something she could deal with.

Klaus was the only one who's cultivation stage was far ahead of the group of ten, and it started to show from the start of the fight.

The first person that came his way, he was able to kill the person with three attacks. The person managed to block the first one, while surviving the second, but the third one was beyond him.

Reynolds' Elemental Warrior made short work of the first person it attacked. It's lightning spear pierced through the man's head. The man was an Earth Elementalist and had raised an earth wall before him, unfortunately, it still wasn't enough to stop the Elemental Warrior's attack.

In the space of a few seconds, the numbers of the bandits had reduced by two.

Reynolds and Alice fought off two simultaneously, while Alice's Seelie also took on two. The two who were left attacked Klaus, at the same time.

Klaus' ice defense came to play as they blocked the attacks coming.

Klaus turned his attention to the men, and focused on one of them. He didn't need to worry too much about the other one, with his ice defense active, he was sure they couldn't break through it, even if he wasn't putting in too much effort.

He was about to attack when he sensed danger. Without hesitation, he focused all his energy on defending himself.

Boom!

The ice dome that appeared cracked the second it appeared.

Klaus' eyes widened. The crack expanded and to his shock, the ice dome fell apart. It managed to stop the attack, but it fell apart after just one attack.

"What the fuck are you doing Grey?" Klaus yelled when he noticed one of the Peak Venerables was closing in on them, and it was the one who hated him the most.

"Come deal with them if you think it's that easy." Grey replied while trying to free himself from the other five that stopped him from interfering.

His original intention was to stop the six from intervening in the battle, now he was the one being stopped.

"You're on your own. Think of a way to handle him. It's just one guy." He added and focused on the task at hand.

Klaus felt like punching Grey, unfortunately, even if he had the chance, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him given his physical strength.

'I should try training my body too. Maybe I can beat him up if I trick him not to use his elements.' Klaus thought.

"Rey, send your Elemental Warrior after that guy." He said and turned his focus to the two.

He knew with Reynolds' Elemental Warrior present, he had nothing to fear.

"Already ahead of you."

Reynolds' Elemental Warrior was already standing in front of the man. The Elemental Warrior struck out, but the man blocked it.

The man coming their way was a Darkness Elementalist.

The man didn't budge when the Elemental Warrior appeared, rather, with a simple movement he appeared behind it, striking its back. It was almost as if the man vanished and came out from the ground behind the Elemental Warrior.

The Elemental Warrior didn't move an inch after being struck by the Darkness Elementalist.

"Klaus, you'll have to focus on him. My summon will need a few seconds before it can regain control." Reynolds said when he saw his incapacitated Elemental Warrior.

Klaus felt like cussing the world when he heard this.

"Damn it!" He left the duo since he wasn't able to kill them in such a short time and prepared for the Darkness Elementalist.

When the Darkness Elementalist closed in, Klaus created an ice wall to block the man.

The man sank into the ground.

Klaus' eyes widened when he sensed the man appearing behind him, stretching his hand toward him.

'Fuck! I messed up.'

Klaus gritted his teeth and his entire body froze solid just before the man's palm hit him.

When the palm hit him, his frozen body was sent flying forward.

The man noticed his hand starting to freeze and hastily retreated while forcing off the ice in his body.

He looked in Klaus' direction and saw his body regaining its normal color.

"Such a quick-witted kid." He snorted coldly.

His only chance of catching Klaus unaware had been destroyed. Now that Klaus is aware of this, the chances of catching him again are very slim.
