Affinity:Chaoschapter 979: can he still fight?

"It's not against the rules, unless he's willing to forfeit this round which means he would be eliminated." The old man said.

Although he hated to admit it, this seemed a little too much, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was something that had been agreed upon from the start, and he was sure even the Burchard Family would resort to such means if there was someone of Grey's caliber on the other side that would destroy their chances of winning the competition. Everyone knew how valuable that place was to the Nether Faction.

"Why are you clowns jumping? The person being challenged is walking to the platform." The leader of the Nether Faction said coldly.

When everyone looked, they saw Grey walking to the platform.

Anger rose in the faces of those from the Burchard Family. They all knew that there was no way Grey would want to give up his chance of entering the secret realm after spending so much effort. But fighting against this young man was very dangerous, especially given his current state.

When Grey stepped on the platform, unlike the previous people, this young man didn't say a word, he turned to look at the old man, waiting for the start of the battle.

Grey took in a deep breath and his aura changed instantly.

The old man gave the go-ahead for the start of the battle. Grey didn't want to use the top level of the Fusion State since he didn't want to expose all his cards, but these people were forcing him.

'If only there was a way I could get Void to help me. Damn these people, if not for this old man, I would be killing all of them to deter them from challenging me next time.'

Grey felt aggrieved internally. This was not what he wanted from the start. He thought he would fight a few battles and then win the competition. Now, he had already eliminated five people, that was one-fourth of everyone from the Nether Faction. He had already gotten more than double the eliminations of each person still here. If he were to defeat this young man as well, that would make it six.

The fact that a single person could achieve such a feat in a competition of twenty individuals each was more than remarkable. Grey's battle record at the moment was already regarded as heaven-defying, adding more wins to it would just make him a genius like no other. Well, he's already seen as a genius like no other from what he had done so far.

The young man was a Dual Elementalist. He had both the lightning and darkness element.

He used the lightning element to unleash a thunderbolt at Grey who dodged. However, Grey noticed where he stepped on was covered by total darkness.

'Crap, a domain!'

The first person who had awakened his domain amongst those at the Peak had appeared, and he wasn't holding back one bit. Grey was a dangerous opponent, and he didn't want to take any chances.

In the midst of the darkness, Grey's blue flames exploded out, forcing the darkness back. However, the darkness started to consume the flames and it seemed to start to grow stronger than it previously was.

'Seriously?!'

Grey felt annoyed. He had always hated the darkness element, now, being trapped in a darkness domain was infuriating. He had tried to use the space element to escape, but whenever he opened a spatial tunnel, it would corrode it, making it unstable.

'Damn it!' He complained when he noticed the darkness energy was trying to enter his body to cause damage.

However, it was soon swallowed up by the miasma in his body.

'Oh, I totally forgot about this guy.'

After this, he calmed down and soon prepared for his next attack. He took one step back with his right leg and a sword appeared in his hand, it was none other than that sword he got from the trial land that could use all the elements.

He infused it with the space element, he moved the hand back and slashed forward.

"Dimensional slash!"

A large part of the darkness was cut open and the young man coughed up a mouthful of blood.

After using dimensional slash, Grey followed up with a fire attack that exploded out, disintegrating the rest of the darkness.

Grey's figure who was holding a sword in his hand appeared in view of everyone once again.

Grey's figure flashed and he moved closer to the young man with the sword in his hand. He unleashed another fire attack on the young man. This time, the attack power was more than what it previously was.

The young man tried to block the attack with a darkness screen that appeared in front of him.

The attacks slashed open a hole in the shield as Grey used the lightning attack to pass through the hole he opened.

The young man moved to the left to avoid the attack. However, he was met with a fire beam that shot out from one of the inscriptions in the sky.

The young man blocked it. Since the attack power wasn't on the same level as Grey's usual attack, it didn't cause him any problems.

He continued to move from side to side as he dodged Grey's attack.

Seeing what the young man was planning to do, Grey kept the sword. Just like before, the consumption in the long run was too much for him, so he didn't want to waste his essence.

The young man had noticed that Grey was using the sword sparingly, so he knew there was definitely something wrong with it.

Now that he saw Grey keeping it, he confirmed his guess.

He attacked when after Grey kept it, and with his attack power, Grey was once again put on the defensive.

With the help of the lightning element, the young man moved closer to Grey, but just as he was about to get close, he sensed something and retreated.

"You want to use that thing against me? Heh, do I look like those inexperienced fools?" The young man smirked.
