Affinity: Chaos

”What?!” The lady exclaimed when she saw Voidʼs current size.

From being slightly larger than a humanʼs palm, Void was currently well over three meters tall and over five meters long.

He was currently no different from a magical beast found in the forest.

Void suddenly disappeared, appearing a few inches away from the old lady. The second he appeared, he swiped his left claw at the lady.

Bam!

His claw hit a wind screen that the lady placed in front of her just in time to protect herself from his attack.

Ka-cha

The sound of wind screen breaking sounded out, before the claw attack continued on its track, heading towards the old lady.

The old lady was forced to place her hands in front of her as a form of protection, while not only enforcing them but also setting up a wind protection around them.

With the powerful wind rotating around her hands, it would be difficult for anything to get through it.

At first, they managed to stop Voidʼs claws, but a few seconds later, she was sent flying from the force of the attack. She couldnʼt contend with Void when it came to raw strength, especially with Voidʼs current size.

Before she crashed to the ground, Void appeared behind her, swiping his claws at her back.

Bang!

It connected, opening a large wound on her back, while also sending her flying in the direction she was coming from.

Void disappeared again, appearing in front of her.

The old lady who was already injured couldnʼt afford to take another direct hit from Void. Without delay, she covered herself with a wind dome that sent wind blades in Voidʼs direction.

Void didnʼt panic, and as if flickering, he would disappear and appear in a matter of seconds, dodging the wind blades that were coming his way. He made sure he didnʼt get out of the way, so he could continue smacking the old lady.

He covered his claws with the darkness element, and as the lady got close, he attacked again.

Bang!

This time, the impact was so great that the lady crashed directly into the ground, causing a small dust cloud to rise into the air.

A few seconds later, the dust cloud settled, but the lady was nowhere to be seen.

Void didnʼt panic, his domain was still active, and if the old lady tried to leave the area, she would be brought back to the middle once again.

After waiting for over twenty seconds, Void paused and looked in the western direction.

ʼSmart,ʼ He thought to himself.

The old lady had already marked the spot where she would return after getting through, so she stopped there and started attacking it. If the domain wasnʼt powerful enough, then it would break apart.

This was Voidʼs first time using it, so he wasnʼt a hundred percent used to it. With a thought, he appeared behind the old lady and nudged her past the mark.

After she got past the mark, she appeared in the middle of the field once again.

Swoosh!

She was welcomed by Voidʼs claw which was already waiting for her.

This was Voidʼs domain, and since he was a Space Elementalist, he could travel faster here compared to others.

Bang!

The old lady slammed into the ground again, and within a few seconds, she appeared in front of Void who was already prepared.

Bam!

He attacked again, this time, a huge gash opened up on the old ladyʼs right shoulder.

Boom!

She crashed into the ground, but unlike the previous times, she didnʼt try to escape. The reason for this was because Void sensibly reduced the range of the domain, so instead of the almost five hundred meters mark, it was around three hundred and fifty meters.

Even if she could destroy the domain, there was no way Void would allow her to do so. His recent action is proof of that. But what frustrated her was that Void was clearly more powerful than she was, so there was no way she could fight against him, especially in this form.

”Not running anymore?” Void asked when he saw the lady after the dust died down.

”Look here lit… I mean black cat, you donʼt want to irritate me,” The old lady warned while glaring at him.

”Actually, Iʼm done playing with you,” Void replied, and the area around the old lady suddenly started to disintegrate.

The old lady looked around, terrified by what she was seeing.

She sent out an attack, but the attack was easily consumed by what was coming in her direction. She couldnʼt see it, but she could sense a powerful attack coming in her direction.

This was Voidʼs space elemental attack, spatial distortion. Since he was in his domain, he could easily hide it from his opponentʼs view. The most interesting thing about his domain was that he could easily integrate it into the real world around him and no one would know.

The old lady looked around, hesitant of which side she should take. She had previously sent an attack in one direction, so she knew that side wasnʼt safe.

Coming to a quick decision, she sent an attack in all directions, but her expression changed drastically when she realized all of them had been consumed.

”Lo… lord cat, please, can, can you forgive me?” The old lady didnʼt know when she changed the way she addressed Void.

Even though she had been alive for a long time now, she still didnʼt plan on dying yet. Especially being killed by a small cat. Well, Void wasnʼt small currently, but it didnʼt matter, she just didnʼt want to die in the paws of a magical beast.

”Now youʼre respectful? Unfortunately, itʼs too late,” Void reverted to his original size grinning wide as the ladyʼs hands started disintegrating.

The old lady screamed as she watched her hands disappear before her, before long, she too vanished. It was like she never existed.

”She doesnʼt even have any shiny things.. Hmph! Since the Emperor has three crowns, they will do,” Void said before turning towards the city.
