Affinity: Chaos



'I must acquire whatever he has!' The man came to a decision in his head.

This was something that might change the trajectory of his life. With this technique, he would be able to acquire more items and more people that he would use to quicken his research.

The man suddenly burst out laughing, pleased with what was about to happen.

"I don't know where you come from, but you're what I've been missing all this while. Once I have you in my grasp, that's all I truly need." The man spoke while laughing.

"It's a shame that whatever you have planned out will not work. It's unfortunate you have to meet up with me and her. If you had encountered anyone else, you would've had it very easy." Reynolds wasn't bothered with what the man was yapping on about.

He had seen far too many psychopaths to be worried about this man. For someone who has been friends with someone as crazy as Klaus, there was nothing that could shake him at the moment.

The man saw Reynolds' calm expression and laughed, the more he saw Reynolds like this, the greater his curiosity grew. He wanted what gave Reynolds such confidence. This wasn't something that was ordinary, it was clearly from the fact that he was confident in his abilities.

Why would he be confident in his abilities if not for this technique?

The man had everything figured out and already knew his plan on extracting the technique from Reynolds.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Reynolds didn't know what the man was thinking about, neither did he care. He took a peek on Alice's end and his face changed slightly. Alice had no problem with fighting the lady, but with the addition of the other puppet, she was starting to feel the burden of being outnumbered.

'I have to help her. If this continues she might be in danger.'

After coming to a decision, Reynolds didn't delay any further and attacked once again. The dark screen had already been destroyed from his first attack, now, he wanted to get a clean hit at the man.

The man's body moved in a weird manner and he was able to dodge Reynolds' fist even though it was such a close range.

Reynolds didn't give up as he continued attacking. His domain came out and covered a large area. Making sure there was no way the man wouldn't be caught up in the domain.

The man let out a dark mist from his body. He was also going to make use of his domain. Since Reynolds wasn't playing around, he too would take this seriously, after all, Reynolds could kill him given how high his attack power was.

The battle intensified as the duo started to exchange moves at a quicker pace. The house was quickly destroyed thanks to both them and Alice's fight.

Alice was being pushed back by the puppets, but she was holding her own against them. She was irritated with what the man was doing, and that rage was fueling. Her attack power was showing signs of growing stronger than it previously was when she had been fighting.

Reynolds and the man took to the sky. Neither of them wanted to interfere in Alice's battle.

The man felt once Alice was defeated, Reynolds would give up and try to escape, that's where he would catch him. Reynolds on the other hand didn't want Alice to be injured. Taking out the man would incapacitate the puppets, this was something he was aware of and that was his plan.

He had to take out the man before Alice was seriously wounded.

As Reynolds and the man's battle started to get more heated, the man quickly realized something, he was no match for Reynolds.

Boom! Bang!

The man was tossed around by Reynolds' attacks. Even when he manages to block the attacks, the impact of it alone is enough to send him flying. He had crashed into the ground on so many occasions within such a short time that it frightened him.

Nonetheless, the excitement he was getting from this revelation seemed to overthrow the pain he was feeling from being beaten by Reynolds. Once he manages to get this technique, he would become invincible!

This was the only thought in his head.

Bam!

A lightning arrow struck his shoulder, making him jolt from the pain and shock. He looked at Reynolds who was still well organized, and then at himself who was in a sorry state. He couldn't help but give a self-deprecating laugh. He knew the difference between him and these top grade geniuses was big, but he never thought it was this massive.

'I can't fight him alone.' He soon came to a conclusion.

He looked at Reynolds and gritted his teeth, "You better be worth it!"

With that statement, another figure appeared close to him. This was a figure of a young man who looked to be in his twenties. The man was a puppet, just like the others, but the aura he was giving off was on the same level as Aries and Flint.

"To think you have such a specimen hidden." Reynolds commented. He didn't think the man would have a puppet of this quality, and he was a little worried. If another puppet of this caliber were to show up, then he would be pressed.

It was different if he were fighting with normal puppets, but this was different. These puppets retained their original strength which means they would be very powerful.

The man laughed, he saw the seriousness in the eyes of Reynolds and knew Reynolds was apprehensive of him now.

"Kid, I'll let you and your friend go, but for a price." The man felt it was best to offer a deal now. This was the best time he could do it. With this puppet, and himself present, there was no way Reynolds would be able to win this battle.

"You still don't have the right to bring up offers." Reynolds shut the man up as he was about to continue his words.

The man was stunned when he heard Reynolds' words.

"What do you mean I still don't have the right to make any deals?" The man asked. He saw the change in Reynolds' eyes, but it quickly went back to his previous confidence.

"Because I said so." Reynolds said calmly.

The man snorted, "Then I'll kill you. When I'm done with you, I'll make you into one of my precious toys."

"You're not worthy of having someone like me or her as your puppets. The thought of even doing something like that is sacrilegious and you deserve death because of it." Reynolds chuckled.

The man squinted his eyes and for the first time, he took the lead in the battle, attacking, alongside the puppet.

Reynolds was prepared for them, without flinching, he blocked the man's attack, but wisely moved away when the puppet was about to attack.

He was stronger than the puppet, but he knew that fighting the duo simultaneously wouldn't be easy. At times like this, he couldn't help but wish he learnt inscribing just like Grey.

If he had been an inscriber, even without having the space element, he would be able to attack from two different angles simultaneously.

'My Elemental Warrior wouldn't be able to hold off this puppet on its own, neither can I fight the man on my own.' Reynolds was deep in thoughts.

'Do I really have to summon that cocky guy?' He pondered.

Given Klaus' strength, Klaus would change how the battle would take place if he was invited. However, once he comes, he would rant about too many things. This wasn't something Reynolds wanted.

He took a peek at Alice, who was bleeding from the side of her mouth. It was evident that she was trying hard against the puppets but it wasn't easy since her cultivation stage hadn't gotten to the Peak of the Venerable Plane yet.

Reynolds took a deep breath and started attacking the man. He wanted to see how far they could go. Alice might be injured, but it was nothing serious. She knew when to move away, there was still a chance for her and she was trying to create the opportunity.

The same could be said for Reynolds. He knew there was a good chance for him to defeat the man and this puppet, but it would take a lot from him. He's contemplating what to do as he attacks.

The puppet was a Fire Elementalist and its strength was on another level.

Unlike the man who couldn't handle Reynolds' attacks, the puppet could. Not just that, but it was also able to counterattack as well. This gave the man the opportunity to attempt a sneak attack on Reynolds. But Reynolds was on guard against this and always moved away whenever the man's attack was about to hit him.

The man didn't get frustrated, he knew it wasn't going to be that easy.
