Affinity: Chaos

Boom!

A huge dust cloud rose into the sky from the place where the banditʼs hideout caved in.

Grey and Void were already at a safe location and seeing the men rushing out of the place, they exchanged looks before attacking them viciously.

Swoosh! Bam! Bang! Boom!

The men who were dashing out of the place found it difficult to block the sudden attacks of Void and Grey.

Grey used one of his most powerful wide-range attacks, meteor descent, while Void was changing between the lightning, fire, and darkness element.

In a matter of seconds, the duo had killed no less than ten people.

After their first flurry of attacks, the other bandits were already aware of their attacks and managed to block them. Although, not all of them were able to successfully do so thanks to the cooperation of Grey and Void.

By the time the surviving bandits appeared outside, none of the Peak Overlord Plane bandits were left alive. The remaining two who were on Ellisʼ side of the battle had managed to survive under Voidʼs attacks until now, but they met their unfortunate end thanks to the duoʼs viciousness.

When Ellis saw what they were doing, he couldnʼt help but shake his head in amazement.

ʼThey truly are fit to travel together, truly vicious,ʼ He thought while staring at the bandit leader with regret.

Had he known, he wouldʼve attacked him when he was escaping as well, this wouldʼve made killing him easier.

”How can you be so shameless?!” The bandit leader yelled in dejection when he saw what Grey and Void did.

He wasnʼt expecting anyone to make any moves until everyone came out of the collapsing hideout, who wouldʼve thought that Grey and Void were so vicious? It was one thing for an animal to be this vicious, but for a human as well? That was something people rarely see.

”Weʼre not friends, why would I wait until they come out? I saw my chance, of course Iʼll take it,” Grey replied coldly.

Grey disappeared after he finished his words, attacking the unsuspecting bandits who were watching the exchange between him and their leader.

Boom!

By the time they realized what was happening, one of their comrades had been sent flying, blood spilling from his mouth. Even before the body touched the ground, he was already dead.

”Ah! Kill him! Kill him!” The bandit leader yelled in frustration and rushed towards Grey.

Bang!

An attack exploded in front of him, pushing him back.

”Iʼm your opponent, donʼt worry, youʼll join your underlings soon enough,” Ellis said with a smirk before attacking once again.

With the bandit leaderʼs state of mind in disarray, it would be easier to kill him now.

The bandit leader attacked frivolously, however, Ellis had no problems with dealing with a distracted and frustrated opponent.

Swoosh! Boom! Bam!

They continued fighting wildly in the sky with attacks covering some parts of it. Grey and Void were also fighting valiantly on the ground, although pressured by the number of their enemies, they continued fighting.

The duo was built differently when it came to fighting against crowds, it was like the number doesnʼt even affect them at all.

A group of almost two hundred bandits when the battle started had reduced to just over eighty plus people, this showed how clinical the duo was. One has to take note that Ellis hadnʼt been given the freedom to attack anyone other than the bandit leader, so the killing of over fifty percent of their opponents was solely done by Grey and Void, and the centipede as well. It did take out a few people before its quick death.

The huge canyon walls on the side were destroyed from the battle. Some of the bandits were already making their escape when they saw that victory didnʼt seem to favor them today. Especially after seeing their leader sent flying more than once.

Ellis already had the upper hand when the battle started, so he used that momentum, as well as Greyʼs present dismantling of the bandits which seems to have destabilized the bandit leader.

Boom! Bang!

Half an hour more went by, and the fighting in the canyon had stopped. Three figures were standing on top of one side of the wall which had been slightly destroyed, staring at the havoc that was on the ground. Multiple corpses were on the ground which had large crevices from the powerful attacks.

Void was perched on Greyʼs shoulder like usual, while Ellis looked around with a solemn look, by his side, was a man who looked half beaten to death. It was none other than the banditʼs leader. But, he was almost unrecognizable.

”*Sigh* How did you two do it?” Ellis sighed before turning to Grey and Void.

He just couldnʼt believe that two fighters could cause this much chaos on a battlefield. If the duo were thrown into a real battlefield, they are bound to be hated by their opponents.

A mission that seemed like a death sentence was cleared just like.

Grey and Void looked at the ground before replying simultaneously.

”Pressure,”

”Loot,”

Although the duo spoke at the same time, Ellis had no issues differentiating what Grey said and what Void said.

”I tend to thrive under pressure,” Grey added.

”Iʼm motivated by loot,” Void didnʼt want to be left out so he explained as well.

Grey rolled his eyes when he heard Voidʼs words. He sat down on the ground, winded from the battle. He couldnʼt deny it, he truly outdid himself this time.

”I think Iʼll need to rest for a while before we can continue,” He said to Ellis.

”Yeah, me too, Iʼm feeling sleepy already,” Void said.

”Itʼs okay, you two can rest up, Iʼll keep guard. Also, thank you for your help,” Ellis thanked the duo.

If not for them, he wasnʼt even fifteen percent sure he would make it back alive.

Grey nodded before closing his eyes, entering a meditation state, while Void appeared on his crossed legs and started to sleep.

”You, what do you want with me?” The banditʼs leader asked Ellis after the duo were out.
