Affinity:Chaoschapter 810: drag them all here

Grey and Void rushed through the city, heading for the exit. He had been going in circles trying to stall for time for the others, but he felt he had already done enough.

They had been in the city for over thirty minutes now, if the others still hadn't completed their mission, it had nothing to do with him. If they still couldn't easily rescue the humans after he dragged out all the top experts in the city, then they were incompetent and slow.

While Grey was escaping, he saw Gil and the leader of the group heading in his direction.

"Done?" He asked.

The duo nodded.

"Thanks to you, things were smoother than we planned." The leader of the group replied.

"Nice." Grey didn't stop while speaking to them, he rushed past them and continued heading in the direction of the exit of the city.

Gil and the leader of the group wanted to ask what was wrong, but after sensing the infuriated roars from the horned men chasing after Grey, they decided it was best to run away for now. The auras they were sensing were not something they could deal with, especially given the number of people rushing there.

They turned in Grey's direction, fleeing as well.

"Duck!" Grey's voice came from ahead of them.

A confused look appeared on their faces, but seeing the shining horns that were coming their way, they didn't need anyone to tell them what to do.

The horns exploded in front of the horned men chasing after them, sending the horned men into rage once again.

"Ah… I'll kill you, I'll kill you all!" The red horned man yelled.

He was literally on the verge of going mad. Grey was insulting them with his antics. What was worse was that Grey had been going in circles, trying to buy time for the others, and he had also expended tons of horns in a bid to slow the horned men down.

"Isn't that one of the horns of those guys?" Gil asked as they caught up to Grey.

"Yap, it's quite handy, don't you think?" Grey took out another one and with a chuckle, he tossed it in the direction of the horned men chasing after him.

Gil and the leader of the group exchanged glances, they didn't think Grey would use the horns for such purposes. The thought of even taking the horns didn't even cross their minds, yet Grey not only took it, he even started to use it as a form of attack.

"No wonder those guys are upset." The leader of the group said with a knowing look on his face.

Gil laughed and rushed after Grey, he was just about to beg him for some horns when he saw some horned men fighting with the youths who came with them.

The youths were escorting the humans they rescued from the city. He rushed in that direction, leaving Grey and the leader of the group alone.

"You should lend a hand, I will be fine." Grey said to the leader of the group.

"Thank you, can you keep them busy a little longer?" The leader of the group asked.

"Two more minutes, no longer." Grey said to the leader of the group.

The leader of the group could only give a wry smile before nodding, "You've been helpful."

Two minutes later.

Grey rushed out of the city, with the horned men hot on his trail. The numbers of the Peak Overlord Plane Elementalist had increased to over twenty. At this rate, he was sure that over forty percent of the Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists in the city were already out. He wanted to say fifty percent, but he didn't really know how many were left protecting the palace.

The formation that they used in blocking the city was easily broken as he fleed. The horned men didn't even take a glance at the others since Grey was their main target. The King had ordered for Grey's head since he was the one who killed the highest number of his people. Forgetting the people he killed, just the soldiers alone was enough to cause an issue for any kingdom.

'Those guys are coming?' Void said to Grey as escaped.

'So quick?' Grey didn't expect the experts that weren't in the city to return so fast. It hadn't even been close to a minute since the array was destroyed, yet they were already here.

'They must have alerted them some other way.' Void said. They didn't know everything about the horned race, so there might be a way they could communicate with the experts outside the city without them knowing.

The brothers were an example, so Void wasn't too surprised they came here so quickly. However, it took a long time since the experts didn't come quickly.

'Looks like the array only delayed the transmission, but couldn't stop it.' Void said to Grey.

'My thoughts as well. But why are they only focused on me?' Grey was still trying to shake off the Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists chasing him yet more were coming.

If not for the fact that he wanted to ensure that the others who came with him on the mission had escaped, he would've been nowhere to be seen. Even without using the Fusion State, he could still use the Great Void technique to leave these guys in the dust.

Six hours later.

The humans' hideout.

Grey walked into the cave only to be welcomed by a large crowd. He looked around before heading in the direction the leader of the group and the other geniuses were located.

"You made it back." Margaret exclaimed as she saw Grey.

"Hello." Grey waved at them before looking at the leader of the group.

"We'll leave in two days." The leader of the group knew the reason for Grey's coming.

Grey squinted his eyes and looked around, "Too long. Tomorrow, they should've recovered by then."

"They are not the issue, since we will be leaving in such a large group, we have to ensure that we draw as many experts here, to make things easier when leaving." The leader explained.

"What is your plan?" Grey thought about what he said and realized he was making sense. Given their current number, it would take them a long time for everyone to use the portal.

And since they couldn't go there twice, they had to ensure that they all used it.
