Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 771 Number One

"I really want this." Klaus sighed as he saw Grey's domain. 

The trio who were caught in the domain were unable to break out of it, Grey's attacks increased by almost threefold. 

The trio were unable to defend for long before they were all knocked out cold. In the space of not more than thirty seconds, Grey had defeated three Ninth stage Overlord Plane Elementalists with ease. 

Klaus was standing on the other side of the platform, staring at his fingernails as if he wasn't even involved in the battle. 

This was by far the shortest last battle since the start of the competition. It was the shortest last battle in the history of the competition. The crowd were sure no one would be able to replicate this in a short time. Especially when being two stages below your opponents. 

From this, the crowd all knew that even if Klaus was eliminated and Grey fought against four people, he would still win easily. 

"Is he still human?" Someone from the crowd asked. 

"Basically, yes. But I don't want to accept that he's like us. Maybe he's truly favored by the gods." Another person answered. 

"Why is the world unfair?" Someone asked. 

There were different reactions in the crowd, but the main thing was that they were all stunned and amazed by Grey's domain. 

Klaus looked at the trio who were knocked out and walked over with a shake of his head. 

"Hmm, how do we rank them now?" He spoke with a thoughtful expression. 

"That's not something we should concern ourselves with." Grey said. 

"Oh, I know." Klaus smacked his lips lightly and he used water to gently pick up the young man and dropped him outside the platform. 

"Now, he's fifth. Up next is you." He pointed at one of the young ladies and did the same act. 

He was very gentle when dropping each of them. They were already beaten by Grey, there was no use in causing them more harm. 

After sending them out, he turned to Grey. 

"Now, your turn." He used his water to pick up Grey and was about to send him off the platform. 

, ᴄ.ᴏ.ᴍ Grey looked at Klaus as if he was staring at a moron. 

"Klaus." He called out to him gently. 

Klaus acted as if he wasn't hearing his words since Grey was already close to the edge of the platform. 

Grey shook his head and teleported out of the water that held him. 

"Wait, oh it's you. I totally forgot about that." Klaus scratched his head awkwardly. ᴘᴀꪁ ⅆa ɴꪫꪚ eʟ

Grey looked at Klaus feigning ignorance and felt like beating him up. 

Just as Grey wanted to attack.

"Hold up!" Klaus placed both hands in front of him, signifying for Grey to wait. 

"I'm not done cleaning the platform yet, sheesh, always in a hurry." Klaus said as he walked towards the edge of the platform and jumped off. 

Who was he kidding, why would he try to fight against Grey. Grey already promised to beat him up, things would be especially worse for him given the stunt he tried to pull some moments ago. 

"I'm just letting you win since I don't want to hoard all the spotlight. I'm such a nice person. You should make sure to pay your respects later, alright." Klaus continued speaking as he walked back to their seats. 

He didn't even feel strange about the way he was eliminated. In the entire competition, Klaus was the only person who walked off the platform on his own. He didn't even try to fight against Grey. 

But the truth was, no one felt he made a wrong decision. Why would he fight against such a beast in the first place? Fighting against Grey was the same as asking for a beating. Everyone has already seen how Klaus speaks, so they were certain Grey would beat him up, especially after he tried to send Grey out of the platform after he removed the trio.

Grey looked at Klaus' back view with a weird expression before he shook his head with a smile. He never thought Klaus would actually jump off the platform. 

'I should've used the space element to keep him inside. That cunning bastard.' He complained internally. 

This was one of the few opportunities he would get to beat up Klaus, but Klaus being Klaus was a step ahead of him, so he escaped easily. 

"Why didn't you try to fight for your dignity?" Reynolds asked when Klaus returned. 

"Do I look like someone who cares about that?" Klaus replied nonchalantly. 

Alice almost facepalmed, but she knew Klaus was correct. For someone as shameless as Klaus, he had zero care about his dignity. He wouldn't even mind tricking the entire world. 

Grey was declared the winner of the competition, but when he was asked which Faction he wanted to join, his reply was. 

"None." 

His reply sent the crowd hysterical. They never thought he would actually refuse to join any of the Factions. But they soon calmed down. Thinking about Grey's talent, he must've been from one of the very best Faction or Family in the entire Aurora Continent, so there was no need in bothering about him joining a Faction or not. 

However, what happened next sent the crowd hysterical once again. Bright lights shot out from the special sitting area where the Elders from each Faction were seated and it was accompanied by a voice that said it was a gift from each Faction present there. 

Grey had a strange expression as he looked at the gifts he was getting. He never thought the Elders would give him gifts even after he refused to join any of them. He originally thought he would've been in trouble after rejecting them.

Kyle, who was seated, had a dumbfounded expression. This was one of the strangest things he had seen. Grey's talent was immense, and these people didn't want to offend him. 

He could feel that they were scared of his background. Even he had a fear of Grey's mysterious background.
