Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1369 She Enough?

”I donʼt think theyʼre from our Continent. Thereʼs a possibility that theyʼre from the Middle Continent given their abilities.” Someone said from the group of Elders.

”Such amazing abilities, we have to create a good relationship with them.” The middle-aged man said.

”Thatʼs not going to be difficult. From the looks of how they interact, they are pretty friendly.” Someone else spoke.

They were still talking when Alice started to move. Unlike the boys, she was more subtle, but she displayed exceptional abilities. She was able to get through the large army in a short time while weaving a way through the crowd. She used the lightning element to increase her speed, the ice ability of the Seelie to defend, and the fire element to blast away any skeleton blocking her path.

All four friends displayed amazing techniques to get through the army. They showed that against those in the same stage, if one wasnʼt a true genius, they wouldnʼt even be able to lift a finger before them.

They were not the only ones who achieved such a feat, but theirs was more outstanding given all four of them were extreme geniuses. Theyʼve gone beyond the level of a normal geniuses and could be called extreme geniuses according to how theyʼre ranked in the Southern Continent.

”That was easy, what next?” Alice said as she appeared on the side of her friends.

Klaus and Reynolds had returned to their normal appearance.

”We walk through this door.” Klaus pointed at the door behind them.

The group nodded and left. There was no point watching others struggle with the skeletons. There are a few people worth watching, but Grey wasnʼt interested in that. They had limited time and it was best he locates the array quickly. The sooner he finds it, the more time he would get to study it.

The group walked through the door and appeared on the other side of the door.

This place, just like the first place, was filled with hot burning air. This wasnʼt able to cause any problem for the group since it was something they could handle with little to no effort.

”I wonder what this trial is all about.” Klaus could see only one thing in this place, and the group of seven they saw earlier was here.

Not just them, but most of the people that had gone through the first trial were present here.

With the appearance of Greyʼs group, the number of people present went over fifty.

Grey and his friends moved closer to see what was going on. They saw a platform with a man seated. There were no movements from the man, and all they could sense was that the man was lifeless.

”Whatʼs this stage all about?” Klaus asked.

The young lady was shocked to see them come in, but she didnʼt speak about it and replied.

”Thatʼs a creation of the Firelord. According to what Iʼve heard, all you need to do is to survive one of its attacks, and also use just one attack on it.” She explained.

”Oh, thatʼs simple.”

Someone from the crowd said and jumped onto the platform.

The man stood up and took a look into the eyes of the young man who jumped onto the platform.

”Survive one attack, and you get the chance to unleash one attack. Defeat me in one blow or face double the power of my first attack.” The manʼs voice was hoarse, but everyone heard it clearly.

”Interesting. If it canʼt be defeated in one attack, then the challenger gets to face double the strength of the first attack.” Grey rubbed his chin as he studied the man.

The man moved after completing his statement. His figure was covered in blazing black flames.

Greyʼs pupils constricted when he saw this. This was the first time he was witnessing the legendary black flames. These are said to be the most destructive flames. He never thought the creation of the Firelord would possess such flames.

”Just how powerful was he?” Grey got lost in thoughts.

While Grey was thinking about how strong the Firelord was, the man on the platform attacked.

His attack was fast, and equally destructive.

The young man tried to use the fire element to block the attack, but he was sent flying.

His reaction was too slow and he was taken out by the man on the platform.

The man walked back to his previous position and sat down. He had defeated the challenger.

The young man who was sent flying crashed into the ground. He was bleeding from all seven orifices. His ribs were broken from just one attack.

When everyone saw the condition of the young man, they reassessed their situation. Taking an attack didnʼt seem as simple as it sounded.

”Iʼll be leaving now.” The young lady said to Grey and his friends before leaping onto the stage.

The man opened his eyes and repeated the same statement.

The young lady braced herself and was able to block the attack of the man.

She was quite powerful and did this with some effort. Grey was certain she had no problem with getting through the first stage.

”Sheʼs quite strong.” Klaus moved closer to Grey, ”She enough?”

Grey pushed Klausʼ face away from him. He knew what Klaus was implying and wasnʼt in the mood to even answer him.

The young lady took her time to prepare her strongest attack.

”Oh, feisty, just how Grey likes them.” Reynolds joined in on the fun too.

Alice laughed as her friends poked fun at Grey.

The young lady attacked, and was able to force the man to take a few steps back. The man opened his mouth and said.

”You win, you may leave.”

”Thatʼs all? Pushing him back?” Someone from the crowd asked.

”He says defeat it with a single attack. This attack was enough to defeat him. However, heʼs indestructible, so he took a step back.” One of the young men in the young ladyʼs group explained. Heʼs also from the Phoenix Faction.

”I see.”
