Affinity: Chaos Chapter 329: [Bonus Chapter] Seal!

Chapter 329: [Bonus Chapter] Seal!

Bang!

A figure crashed into the ground to form a crater.

“How… how is he this powerful?” The man with a scar under his eyes asked with dilated pupils.

He couldn’t believe a youth of Grey’s age would be this powerful. What was more shocking was that Grey was two stages below him, and he wasn’t the only one in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane.

Of the group of five, currently four, two were in the Eighth stage, while the other two were in the Sixth and Seventh stage respectively. The last man who Grey had already killed was in the Seventh stage as well.

They had heard of Grey’s might when he battled against William at Gerald’s birthday ceremony, but seeing his strength firsthand was shocking, to say the least.

“Escape, we have to escape and report this,” The man with a scar quickly came to a decision.

They were all people who usually walked the line between life and death. The job they did require this, so they naturally knew they would die one day or another.

“Scatter!” The man with the scar said after raising an ice wall to block Grey’s fire arrows.

Boom!

The fire arrows quickly made short work of the ice wall, easily melting it.

As soon as the wall was destroyed, the group who were on their feet quickly made a break for it, leaving the guy Grey’s strike hit not too long ago behind.

“Heh! Like I’ll let you leave,” Grey scoffed before spreading out both hands.

Four symbols lit up in the air. The symbols were all positioned in four different locations, forming a large two hundred and fifty meters square in the sky.

“Seal!” Grey spat out and lines shot from the symbols into the ground.

The symbols were currently hanging at least two hundred meters in the sky, but it didn’t take up to a second before the lines touched the ground.

After the four lines simultaneously touched the ground, they immediately started spreading towards the left and right. Before long, they completed a square, trapping Grey and his opponents before they were able to leave the area.

Bam! Boom!

Three attacks rang out from three different locations, but the results were the same. Not even a scratch could be seen on the barrier-like cube the light made.

Grey casually walked to the center of the square, not too far from where the fourth man was lying on the ground, injured.

“There’s no escape for any of you, this thing can withstand an all-out attack of a Peak Origin Plane Elementalist. I don’t think any of you can match that,”

His voice was gentle, but it managed to travel easily across the two hundred square meters.

During the past months when Grey was in his Teacher’s valley trying to create the device, he was struck with an idea after working with so many arrays.

When the idea struck him, he immediately implemented it. He would make a trapping array, which would be fueled by his inscriptions that were mid-air. Being proficient in arrays, and also learning more about it from his research, he was able to quickly make some progress on it.

It took him all through the time he was in the valley, when he searched for Reynolds, and on his way to Frost City before he was able to successfully complete it.

After successfully making it, he naturally instantly tried out its defense. It didn’t disappoint him as his all-out attack with the fire element was easily stopped by it. He attacked a few more times with it, but the seal held on and remained perfectly fine.

The three men who were trying to break it turned to look at him in fear. They had already given up on the idea of beating him, but yet, he still didn’t want to let them escape.

“What… what do you want?” The injured man asked, stuttering.

“To kill you all, obviously,” Grey replied nonchalantly.

He didn’t really care about these people, although he looked emotionless because of how quickly he decides to kill his enemies, he never regrets his decision. Friends are friends, and enemies are meant to be killed, if not, they will come back and hurt you.

Grey stretched out his right hand, pointing his index finger at the man. Under the horrified gaze of the man, a small fire beam started forming at the front of his finger.

Swoos.h.!.+

The fire beam shot straight at the man, creating a small hole on his forehead.

Thud!

The man who was trying to stand up, collapsed on the ground, dead.

The trio who were still trying to break the sealing array were forced to group together once again.

“Let’s fight till the end, he wouldn’t be able to support this thing for too long. Added with the burden of fighting three of us together, he’ll wear out soon,” One of the men said after the group came together once again.

The other two nodded simultaneously, they felt his conjecture was right. Keeping something this powerful running would need a high amount of concentration and energy, and they don’t think anyone would be able to keep it for a long time.

‘Hehe, if it were others, then they would be right. But for me, hehe,’ Grey chuckled inside.

He could keep this thing up for at least ten minutes, that was more than enough time he needed to deal with these guys. If they decided to attack the seal, on the other hand, it wouldn’t be able to last three minutes. The danger of them attacking the seal however was that they would be open to his a.s.sault, so trying to break it didn’t seem plausible.

Boom!

The man with a scar was the first to attack, ice spikes sprung out of the ground where Grey was standing, trying to impale him.

Grey immediately mobilized his wind element, maneuvering through the multiple ice spikes that were sprouting out of the ground by a hair’s breadth.

While Grey was dodging the ice spikes, the other two men attacked as well. One was a Wind Elementalist, while the other was an Earth Elementalist. The Earth Elementalist followed the Water Elementalist’s lead and also attacked with earth spikes, while the Wind Elementalist sent wind blades towards Grey who was currently trying to dodge both the ice and earth spikes.

‘d.a.m.n, these guys are tough.’
