Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1423  Weʼre Fucked

Klaus looked at the Tribe Leader Grey was entangled with and couldnʼt help but cuss out.

With no other choice, he resorted to his ice needle. The Tribe Leader was focused on fighting with Grey, so the chances of him being able to sense and even dodge the attack would be very slim.

Klaus attacked without hesitation, at least they should deal with the Tribe Leader who was the strongest person present.

To Klausʼ shock, the Tribe Leader moved at the last second, dodging the needle by a hairʼs breadth.

”You think you can attack me?” The Tribe Leader snorted.

Klaus and Grey chuckled. Grey smiled and asked, ”Who said he was trying to reach you?”

The Tribe Leaderʼs expression changed when he saw the ice needle which was supposed to disappear appear in front of the Barbarians that had already stopped chanting.

”No!”

The Tribe Leader rushed there, hoping to stop the needle from hitting the Barbarians, however, he noticed something off.

Grey had a wide smile on his face, while Klaus was laughing.

The Tribe Leader was forcefully pulled into space and then his figure was replaced by Grey who had a fusion orb on his hand, the Tribe Leader however felt a cold sensation from his back, when he looked behind him, he was shocked that his back had been frozen.

He studied his body and found an ice needle resting between his spine.

Grey unleashed the fusion orb on the Barbarians that seemed to be on the phase of merging together.

”Damn you filthy humans!” The Tribe Leader yelled angrily and without hesitation, he flew towards the Barbarians that had been attacked by Greyʼs fusion orb.

He still didnʼt know how he was hit by an ice needle when he clearly dodged the first one and wasnʼt even hit by the other one. Unfortunately, he didnʼt have the time to think about it, his focus was making sure his last surviving tribesmen efforts didnʼt go to waste due to Greyʼs attack.

Grey didnʼt stop him, rather, he threw two more fusion orbs into the explosion and went over to Klaus.

”Quick thinking bud, this guy was a hassle, and there was no way to switch places with any of those guys.” Grey grabbed the sword that was still held by the Barbarian who had turned into an earth statue and the Barbarianʼs hand broke apart.

Klaus took back his sword when he saw Grey studying it, ”Of course, you know Iʼm always thoughtful. I guessed you couldnʼt switch places if not, you wouldnʼt have asked for my help.”

Grey didnʼt mind Klausʼ act of taking the sword away, he looked at the explosion and asked, ”Do you think that would be enough.”

”For those guys, yes, but you already know how powerful that guy is. Heʼll survive.” Klaus replied.

”Even with your ice needle?” Grey raised a brow.

He knew the quality of Klausʼ ice and was very confident it would be able to slow the man down, even causing serious damage to him.

”Most likely.” Klaus nldded5.

”Heʼs a Barbarian, that should be the only reason he will be able to survive this without any serious injuries.” Grey waited for the explosion to die down.

Alice and Reynolds were able to kill off their opponents. Reynoldsʼ Elemental Warrior wasnʼt able to do much to the Barbarians after they started their chants, so he withdrew it and with its help, he killed off the Barbarian he was fighting with.

Aries and also defeated her opponent with some distractions from Grey harming the Barbarian Tribe Leader thanks to Klausʼ ice needle.

Everything happened all thanks to Klaus and Greyʼs impeccable understanding of one another.

Grey knew Klaus was aware the Tribe Leader would be able to sense the attack, so he used it in a way Grey could get in front of it, then teleport it to another location, and then switch places with the Tribe Leader while also sending it back to that place. The ice needle continued its usual movement and hit the Tribe Leader after Grey switched places with him without his knowledge.

The entire situation relied heavily on the duoʼs trust of one another. If Klaus didnʼt trust Greyʼs quick-wittedness, he would never have attacked. But since he was confident in his friendʼs ability and thought process, he didnʼt hesitate and attacked.

This trust led to their minor victory. Of course, their victory wasnʼt certain yet since they donʼt know the outcome of Greyʼs fusion orb barrage.

”Hey, why donʼt we just send more attacks there?” Reynolds suggested, seeing their faces, he added, ”Just to be sure.”

The others were about to do as he said when they saw a figure shooting out of the place, it was the Tribe Leader, but he was almost double his previous size. Bodies started to drop from the sky, and when the others looked at the bodies, their expressions changed drastically.

The bodies were shriveled, one should know that a normal Barbarian is well over two and a half meters, yet theyʼve shriveled and shrunk to a size of below one and a half meters.

The aura of the Tribe Leader spiked, but it still didnʼt go above the Pseudo-Sovereign Plane, it was only stronger. But that wasnʼt the main issue, the issue was that there were two more dangerous auras that were close to the Tribe Leaderʼs previous state. The two auras were at the Peak of the Venerable Plane, but very close to becoming Pseudo-Sovereigns.

”Weʼre fucked…” Klaus couldnʼt believe his eyes.

”Well, if you think about it properly, this is a better situation compared to what wouldʼve happened originally.” Grey looked at their current opponents and couldnʼt help but wonder what wouldʼve happened if they didnʼt attack them at that time.

With the numbers present, they wouldʼve been able to produce at least four more Peak Venerables who are close to a Pseudo-Sovereign, at that time, they wouldʼve been in danger. But in this case, he wasnʼt too scared, he still had Void he could call on.

Void had been sleeping a lot lately and he guessed he would enter Rank Eight very soon.
