Affinity:Chaoschapter 136: i can'

While Grey and his friends were improving the grade of their elements, a heated battle had started between the youths from the Qilin empire and those from the Azure empire. This was not unexpected since there was a feud between both empires. It was only a matter of time before they started killing each other more openly.

Currently, two groups were facing off against each other, and a long sword could be seen in the middle. One of the groups had seven youths in total, and the other group had nine people.

"This weapon was found by our group, I'll advise you to leave here if you want to keep your lives." A youth from the group of seven said.

He was the leader of the group and was someone Grey had encountered previously, the Twelfth prince of the Qilin empire.

When Grey saw them previously, they were around ten or so, but now, they were only seven. Of the trio from the Starlight Academy Grey recognized, two were missing and only one of them was still around. The most likely cause of this might be that they separated from the group, or, they were dead.

"I don't see your name written on it," The leader of the other group said cockily.

Even though compared to the other group, their group had fewer people in the Second stage of the Origin Plane, they had more people overall, having an advantage of two extra people. Of the nine people, four were in the Second stage of the Origin Plane, while the remaining five were in the First stage. While the twelfth prince's group had only two in the First stage, and the rest being in the Second stage.

"Bullshit! This is ours and the sooner you leave here, the better for you." The last of the trio from the Starlight Academy said angrily.

"Heh! We're taking this, and there's nothing you can do to stop us." Another youth from the Azure empire laughed coldly.

Both groups stared off with no one showing any sign of retreating, but from the expression on the faces of those from the Azure empire, one could tell how confident they were.

With both sides disagreeing, a fight soon broke out. Due to the advantage of having two men extra, they quickly started oppressing the group from the Qilin empire.

"Haha, since you refused to leave, you should stay here." The leader of the group from the Azure empire laughed arrogantly and attacked the twelfth prince.

The leader of the group was surprisingly no weaker than the twelfth prince, this further increased the morale of his group. But the same can't be said for the group from the Qilin empire, with their strongest person tied up by the leader of the other group, their morale plummeted.

Their only hope was now placed on the second strongest person in the group, a youth from the Royal Academy. Just like the twelfth prince, he was royalty, only, his status was nowhere near that of the twelfth prince. He was the son of the Emperor's brother. If even he couldn't defeat his opponent quickly, then their group was doomed.

The strategy the group from the Azure empire employed was quite strange since instead of using more people to fight against the strongest people from the opposing group, they rather used more opponents against the weakest.

This tactic was actually ingenious since once they killed off the weakest in the other group, their numbers would further increase, giving them a better advantage. But there's a downside to this tactic of theirs.

If the strongest person in the other group were to overpower their own and maybe kill him before they killed off the weakest ones, then they would be in danger. Luckily, the people they sent out were up to the task. The twelfth prince was held by their leader, and the second strongest person was only a little stronger than his opponent, so there was no way he could kill his opponent soon.

The twelfth prince's heart fell when he saw what was going on, he knew once they managed to kill off the weakest ones, then his life was in danger.

'I need to escape.' He urged himself.

Staying here was no different than seeking death, his current opponent was on par with him, but, if he wanted to escape, this was the best time. Even though his opponent was on par with him, there's no way he could stop him from escaping.

"Neil, you know what to do." He said to the second strongest person in the group.

The only reason he's informing him was that they were related, and given his strength, he could also escape from here. But if he decides to play hero and die with them, then it had nothing to do with him.

Three youths could be seen walking into the compound the battle was currently taking place, they were all in the Second stage of the Origin Plane.

"Isn't that Finn?" One of the youths asked pointing at the person fighting against the twelfth prince.

"Yeah. Hmm, those are people from the Qilin empire," Another youth said identifying the twelfth prince's group from their attire.

Although the difference in clothing between each empire wasn't that much, there are still some notable differences. For example, the design and fabric used in clothing for the Azure empire are more appealing than that made in the Qilin empire.

"Those are the bastards who attacked my group previously. I was lucky to escape alive," The third youth said with anger visible in his eyes.

"Then let's go get your revenge." The first youth said walking towards the groups fighting.

Although they weren't as strong as Finn, or the twelfth prince, they couldn't be called weak either.

The twelfth prince who was just about to make a break for it was stunned when someone else attacked him from behind. He hurriedly dodged to the side, narrowly escaping.

After landing, he quickly turned around the see his attacker.

"Remember me?" The third youth asked grinning evilly.

The twelfth prince shook his head, he had seen multiple people in the trial land, there was no way he would remember them all. To him, they were all insignificant people.

Well, one of those insignificant people is about to make his life hell.

"Hmph! Even if you have forgotten about me, I still remember you clearly, you nearly killed me you asshole!" The youth yelled before attacking once again.

'Fuck! How I wish I could go back in time and kill him!' The twelfth prince cursed.

Although he still didn't recall when he saw this person, he still felt he should have killed him when he encountered him previously. One of the things he hated was being attacked by an already beaten opponent.

Finn who was standing by the side was also surprised when an unknown youth attacked his opponent. He didn't recognize him even though they were from the same empire. Being from the second best Academy in the Azure empire, he was naturally arrogant, he was about to yell at the youth before he saw the other two.

Since they were people he knew, he decided to kill the twelfth prince first and reprimand the youth later.

While the battle was ongoing, two youths were sitting on top of a building in the compound watching the battle calmly.

The youths were Damian and Alan. They were surprisingly together.

"Are we still going to keep watching?" Damian asked blandly.

Although he wasn't friends with the twelfth prince and his group, he wouldn't just sit by and watch people from the Azure empire kill them. Being a citizen from the Qilin empire, he would fight against those from the Azure empire, although not blindly.

The only reason he wanted to stop them was that he was here before the battle started, so he knew the twelfth prince's group were the ones who found the weapon. But he also knew only the strong could keep such things.

"Let them suffer a little longer. You should know how they act towards us," Alan said nonchalantly enjoying the suffering of the twelfth prince's group.

"Once one of them is killed, then saving them would become difficult," Damian said.

"It's none of our business, if things become complicated, we can always just sit here and do nothing," Alan said not being bothered by the already injured group.

"I can't," Damian said before jumping off the building.

"*Sigh* His lack of interaction with people has made him somewhat naive." Alan said while shaking his head.

With Damian already revealing himself, he had no other option but to do the same.

Damian was still in the First stage of the Origin Plane, but Alan had unexpectedly broken through to the Third stage, added to him being a Dual Elementalist, they shouldn't have a problem lending a hand.

It's just, left for Alan alone, he wanted the twelfth prince, those piece of shits from the Royal Academy, and the scumbag from the Starlight Academy to suffer a little more.
