Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 534 - On To The Next!

"Oh, this move," One of the judges said when they saw what happened.

It was the same move Grey used in eliminating the young man Ezel was avenging, switch.

"This kid is pure evil," Ezra's Teacher commented.

….

Just as Grey's leg was about to touch the wet stage, his figure was changed with that of Ezel who was not expecting this.

Ezel was dumbstruck when he saw multiple attacks only a few inches from him, and before he could use his 'Supreme Push' to send the attacks flying, he was electrocuted by the lightning since he was standing on water.

His body was still in the middle of vibrating when the ice spikes around the side stabbed into him, accompanied by the attacks from four different inscriptions. His eyes widened as he realized what was happening.

This was what he had been defending against since the start of the battle. The memory of how his brother was eliminated was still very fresh on his mind, but after the battle climaxed and Grey didn't use it in any way, he completely forgot about it.

He never would've thought that Grey was so cunning to wait till now before using it. Remorse, regret, anguish, sorrow, and a multitude of emotions could be seen in his eyes as the attacks came crashing down, engulfing him.

The tornado he created soon disappeared, and Grey could be seen standing perfectly fine at the center.

He looked in the direction Ezel was standing on as the attacks exploded. He made sure to make the ice spikes powerful so that even with this explosion, Ezel's body wouldn't leave that spot.

Some seconds later, the explosion died down, and Ezel's figure appeared before everyone.

He was currently stabbed by multiple ice spikes, on different parts of his body. The spikes had turned red from the blood that was flowing from his body. But the main thing in all this was that Ezel was motionless, eyes wide open.

He was still in a standing position, just like when he appeared there.

Everyone in the arena looked at the gruesome scene, before turning to look at the creator of the scene who was watching his masterpiece with a faint smirk on his face. They felt like he had already planned this right from the get-go, but he had to make sure Ezel didn't expect this before he used it.

'Such a cunning figure.'

This was one of the descriptions they had of Grey, and it was almost as significant as his monstrous strength.

All in all, they had three ways to describe Grey if asked to, first of all, he was extremely handsome, secondly, he was powerful beyond imagination, and the last was his cunning nature.

Grey turned to look at the supervisor, waiting for him to announce the results of the battle.

But even before the supervisor announced the result, Grey's name on the stone board was rising up quickly, immediately taking up the sixteenth spot which previously belonged to Ezel. Unlike the previous times, those below him didn't drop by a rank since Ezel's name was removed from the board.

What drew everyone's attention to the board though was that Grey's name was actually inscribed with a different color, compared to that of others. It was written with golden letters, instead of the usual silver.

Grey walked away from the stage, just as the supervisor announced the winner.

Someone came onto the stage to help remove the body of Ezel. Before Grey left the stage, he dismissed the ice spikes which were keeping the lifeless body standing, and the holes they made on the body were laid bare for all to see. They could literally see through the holes before the body fell on the ground.

….

"Impressive," Sylvia commented with a smile when Grey returned.

Grey nodded before taking a seat. Although he wanted to leave quickly, it didn't mean that he would leave without his reward.

According to what was said, those in the top twenty will be rewarded.

After Grey's battle, only a few more battles occurred before the Early stage Overlord Plane geniuses ranking was rounded up. Now, it was time for those who were in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane, but this had nothing to do with Grey.

He received his reward, before leaving the arena, with some people from the different Factions who were hot on his heels, trying to recruit him for their respective Factions. Even after rejecting them, some didn't give up, chasing him with much zeal, it was as if they were told they would be rewarded heavily if they managed to recruit him.

Since this was the last city before leaving the region, they would be going through it to the next region. They can't use the teleportation array since they couldn't.

According to what Grey knew, only those with powerful backgrounds could use them without being stopped. He asked Sylvia why she couldn't, but he got no reply.

To get to the next region, they would have to walk through the city, heading to the back gate. If they didn't want to go through here, they could also go around it, but one has to know that this is a very big city, and there were guards stationed around the city, to help fight against people who were trying to come in from the next region.

They would still need to cross three more regions before they can get to the Polaris region which was their target. With Sylvia's new plan of making Grey challenge those in the geniuses rankings of the other regions, their journey would take longer than expected since they would have to search for whoever he would be fighting against.

Grey planned to top the Origin Plane ranking in the rest regions, becoming the number one person below the Overlord Plane.. So in each region, he would be challenging two people, the person ranked first in the Origin Plane ranking and someone in the top twenty in the Early stage Overlord Plane ranking.
