Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 826 Keeping To His word

Grey and the horned men fought like savages, according to the seven men, anyway.

Elementalists usually fight with elements, Grey and the horned men were a bit different, fighting with their fists. With the help of the gravitational force field, the men were unable to move at their peak.

”Escape.” The leader of the seven men said and rushed in another direction after he managed to free himself from one of the horned men.

The others did the same and tried to escape.

”Donʼt chase after them, prepare to attack.” Grey said to the horned men as they were about to rush after them.

They nodded and prepared to attack. To their surprise, all seven men appeared on the same spot they were previously standing.

”Amazing.” The horned men were once again shocked by Greyʼs ability.

Unknown to them, this was all Voidʼs doing. With his domain, only those in the Sage Plane could escape from his clutches.

The seven were shocked by the familiar scenery before them, before they could even react, Grey and the horned men pounced on them.

With Voidʼs help, the horned men, and Grey working together, it was only a matter of time before all seven men were beaten to a pulp.

Grey looked at the seven men, he got an idea of who sent them after him, but he wanted to be sure.

”Now, who sent you here?” He asked with a cold voice.

”You wonʼt get anything from me.” The leader of the group answered, he could barely talk, but he was reluctant to say the name of the person who sent them after Grey.

”I see. Do any of you know who sent you?” Grey looked at the others.

They shook their heads and he smiled in return. He turned to one of the horned men and nodded.

The man walked close to one of the men sitting on the ground, he placed his palm on his shoulder, and the facial expression of the man started to change.

As time went on, the man started to scream in pain, shaking from severe pain. Grey didnʼt speak, neither did any of the horned men, they watched the scene unfold before the eyes of the others.

A few minutes later, the man stopped moving completely, he was dead.

”Iʼll ask again, who sent you?” Grey asked with a calm look.

The men exchanged glances and the leader of the group shook his head to the others, indicating none of them should give Grey the answer he was searching for.

”Hmm, stubborn.” Grey shook his head before pointing his hand at one of the men. Black mist left his hand and shot toward the man.

The man tried to dodge it, but he was too slow and it entered his body. Everyone looked on with curiosity, even the horned men. They didnʼt know what Grey sent out, but they all knew for sure that it was a dangerous substance.

A minute went by and nothing happened, this surprised the men, even the horned men.

”You canʼt even do anything, without your helpers, youʼre nothing.” The leader of the group mocked.

”Oh, really.” Grey raised a brow before looking at the man once again.

The man still had a composed expression, but everyone soon started to see a change. His eyes were turning black, and blood started coming from his ears and nose.

”What, why are you people staring at me?” The man asked as he saw everyoneʼs gaze.

One of the men pointed at his face. The man couldnʼt help but raise his hand, when he touched it, he saw black blood. He was stunned because he couldnʼt feel anything. Just as he was about to ask where the blood came from, he shivered uncontrollably and started to have a seizure.

He bled slowly, shaking from the pain. However, unlike the first man who was killed, he didnʼt die even after over five minutes.

Grey didnʼt rush things, he watched on curiously as well. This was the first time he was using the miasma, so he knew nothing of its effect. Astonishingly, it didnʼt work like the normal miasma, instead, it seemed more brutal, causing a higher harm.

The man continued suffering under the gaze of everyone.

”Please… end… this…” The man begged.

When the others heard this, they looked at Grey with a scared expression. They didnʼt know what Grey did to the man, but they could tell he was suffering given the fact that he was pleading for death.

”What did you do to him?” The leader of the men asked.

”Heʼs wishing for death, but canʼt have it. This worse kind of torture. I wonder if you will still keep your mouth shut after experiencing this.” Grey turned to the other men and added, ”. As for you guys, you either speak, or I kill you one after the other and he still tells me what I want in the end.”

The men exchanged glances, they all knew he was correct, after they were dead, the man would most likely speak the truth after they were dead.

”Itʼs…”

One of the men quickly spoke up with the hope of keeping his life.

”You traitorous bastard!” The leader of the group yelled at the man who told Grey of the ladyʼs identity.

It was just as Grey suspected, it was the young lady he eliminated from the Faction.

”Looks like I have to settle her later on. I donʼt want any disturbance whenever Iʼm traveling.” Grey said.

He didnʼt expect the young lady would hold a grudge about the matter and even sent people to wait for him. Luckily, she didnʼt send people in the Sage Plane, or he wouldʼve been in trouble.

”You can go, I wonʼt kill you, as for the rest.” Greyʼs eyes went cold and he sent a black orb at the other men.

The man who told him about the identity of the young lady stood up and ran as fast as he could.

ʼVoid, end him.ʼ

ʼI thought you said you wouldnʼt kill him.ʼ

ʼYouʼre the one killing him, not me.ʼ
