Affinity:Chaos
chapter-848

After taking a seat, Grey brought out the healing tonic and gulped it down.

When the others saw him down a bottle of healing tonic, they decided to leave him alone and focus on the other battles.

A member of the Syphilis Faction had stepped on the platform, waiting for the next person from the Pyrmond Faction to come up.

The two people who were left were a young lady and a young man. The young lady stepped on the platform and fought against the member of Syphilis Faction who was standing.

Ten minutes later, she was defeated by the member of the Syphilis Faction. The faces of those from the Pyrmond Faction turned sour when they saw this. With this defeat, they had only one chance left to get another member into the next round.

Fifteen minutes later, the last member of the Pyrmond Faction returned in defeat. The Elders were all staring at each other with loss in their eyes. One of the things they still couldn't understand was how the youths from the Syphilis Faction became so powerful.

This wasn't the first time something like this was happening in the history of the competition. A few competitions back, the Syphilis Faction defeated them with a glamourous victory, they weren't even able to get past the first round.

This has always been a source of concern for them.

"Ten minutes later, the next round will begin." The middle-aged man from the Dawson Family announced.

Everyone from the Pyrmond Faction turned to look at one particular figure, Grey.

Alec was in a good condition and his battle wasn't that tough, Grey's battle on the other hand was the toughest, and he was also injured from the fight. It was unknown if he would be in a good state to even fight. They all saw him drinking the healing tonic, but they didn't feel that he would be able to heal off in such a short time.

Time minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Grey." Alec walked up to Grey.

Grey opened his eyes and nodded his head. He stood up and followed behind Alec. There was no use in waiting for those from the Syphilis Faction to step out.

Two figures stood lonely on the platform, in front of them were the eight members of the Syphilis Faction that qualified for the next round.

"Are you ready to get beat up?" One of the youths pointed at Grey.

Grey looked at him with his deadpan eyes. Alec couldn't help but give a wry smile. He knew Grey beating Lydia up would incur the wrath of the people from the Syphilis Faction, even the Elders would want to beat Grey up, unfortunately they couldn't.

The middle-aged man from the Dawson Family chuckled when he saw this, "Begin!"

He looked at Grey and Alec, a little curious how they would be able to solve their current problem.

After the middle-aged man declared the beginning of the battle, those from the Syphilis Faction rushed forward and sent out their attacks, three of them went after Alec, while the rest of them went after Grey, all with angry eyes.

"Try not to die." Alec said before attacking his opponents.

Grey nodded before attacking as well. He instantly brought out his inscriptions. While doing this, he was preparing an array that would boost his teleportation speed on the platform.

His figure shot into the air and with hands spread apart, large boulders covered blue flames appeared and started falling at an insane speed in the direction of the members of the Syphilis Faction that came his way.

Different attacks shot out and they managed to block and destroy the boulders that were coming their way.

Grey continued his assault with his inscriptions, while also sending out more attacks. The youths separated, making it difficult for Grey to get them with a large area of effect attack.

They started an intense battle with Grey. On Alec's side of the platform, he was also fighting a tough battle against a lesser number of opponents.

The platform was covered with a series of attacks, lighting up the entire platform.

Grey's part was particularly flashy. His inscriptions gave the air a different kind of scenery.

The battle continued with greater intensity. Grey and Alec had not only managed to fight against multiple opponents, they were on the verge of taking out one of them.

Grey's figure flashed and appeared close to one of the young men fighting against him.

The young man predicted this and managed to dodge Grey's attack. The person close to the young man attacked Grey's figure when he appeared.

Grey didn't look at the attack coming his way, rather, he continued going after the young man. When the attack was about to hit his figure, he blinked, and there was a change in the clothing of the person standing on where Grey's was previously standing.

It was surprisingly one of the young ladies who were standing on a different part of the platform.

She was from the group fighting against Alec.

The attack hit her and she was sent flying.

Grey's figure appeared on the spot where the young lady was previously standing. Beside him was a young man who was fighting against Alec. He attacked the moment he appeared on the spot, sending the young man crashing into the platform.

The pressure on Alec dropped relevantly and he capitalized on it and attacked the last young lady attacking him.

With a simple switch, Grey was able to create an opportunity to take out three members of the Syphilis Faction. It was an incredible sight that the Elders were even stunned at.

Grey's move first of all was very difficult to predict, and it also gave Grey a huge opportunity to lower the number of their opponents.

"That move, where did he learn that?" An Elder from the Syphilis Faction exclaimed, astonished by the ability of Grey.

The other Elders were also stunned by the move Grey used.

While they were still speaking, Alec managed to send the young lady fighting against him flying.

He stood beside Grey as they looked at the remaining five members standing. The other three were lying on the ground, all grimacing from pain.

The five standing members from the Syphilis Faction were stunned by the sudden turn of events. Grey's figure changed with that of one of their own, and she was attacked.

They didn't understand how Grey managed to switch places with that of their comrades.

They rushed to pick up their comrades lying on the ground, they quickly tried to help them up, saving them from a quick elimination.

After they helped them up, they hastily regrouped, a little flustered, but they kept a good shape, keeping those who were possibly injured safe.

When they were done with that, they started to give off a strong aura that started to merge together.

Grey and Alec looked at each other.

"I guess you have a way to increase your strength as well?" Alec said to Grey.

Grey nodded and looked at Alec, waiting for him to use his technique.

Alec didn't waste any time and with a soft flicker of his body, his aura surged up.

Grey didn't say anything and taking a foot forward, his aura surged as well. From one side of the platform, a powerful energy was gathering, and on the other side, two auras were shooting up.

Alec and Grey's auras shot higher than that of those from the Syphilis Faction, however, their numbers gave them a massive boost.

Alec and Grey rushed into the group from the Syphilis Faction.

The battle intensified and Grey's figure was flashing through the air, attacking one person after another. He was also using his inscriptions as well.

Alec has a powerful attack power, with the help of the space element, he appeared and disappeared at will.

"Those two are impressive." Conor muttered as he looked at Grey and Alec fighting against multiple opponents.

He has some knowledge about both figures, so he knew that they could handle themselves against multiple opponents.

The Elders from the Pyrmond Faction were impressed by Grey and Alec's abilities. The Elders from the Syphilis Faction looked at the two monsters on the platform with a worried expression. At this rate, Grey and Alec have a chance of winning.

The fact that Grey has this much strength left is insane. He was injured by Lydia, yet he was still able to fight against multiple opponents. He was even more impressive than Alec who was well known.

They started to regret the decision to let Lydia fight against Grey. It was a wrong move on their path.

Lydia was the only person that could at least make things difficult for Grey and Alec.

The members from the Pyrmond Faction. Things were more than what they expected. Alec and Grey were surprising them, and if they could pull off the battle, it would go down in record for the Faction.
