Affinity:Chaos

Grey appeared above the Giant, his lips curved upwards slightly and without hesitation, he attacked.

A large fist made with a combination of lightning, fire, and earth element landed at the back of the head of the Giant, sending it crashing into the ground.

The ground shook as the body of the Giant slammed into it.

Grey didn't stop his attack there, two inscriptions lit up in the sky, and fire and lightning arrows started to rain from them, landing on the body of the Giant.

A small orb appeared on his fingertip as he sent it toward the Giant.

All attacks exploded and the painful scream of the Giant rang afterward. It was clear that he was hurt by the attacks. What was worse was that he couldn't properly protect himself because of Grey's first attack.

The attack soon died down and the sorry state of the Giant came into view. His back was cut in multiple places and he was bleeding.

'I wonder how they manage to grow to that size?' Grey thought as he stared at the Giant's body.

The first time he saw this person, he was a normal human size. He went from just around two meters to over ten meters which was quite a fascinating sight to see. Grey's curious eyes wandered to the body of the Giant.

The Giant turned, and the sight of Grey's eyes made him shiver in fright. For some reason, he could tell that Grey was thinking about something, and it would not end well for him.

"How do you change your size?" Grey suddenly asked.

The Giant didn't say a word as he threw his large hand at Grey.

Grey dodged the hand with some ease.

The Giant's eyes glowed and ice arrows started to rain on Grey's location.

The ice arrows didn't even get within three meters of Grey before they vanished, turning into vapor.

The eyes of the Giant enlarged. Grey didn't block the attack, rather, he directly used the heat from his fire element to melt the ice, not just that, but he also changed the state of the water.

Grey didn't waste time any further, since the Giant was not going to say anything, he would just kill him. Maybe he could try to study his body and see what secrets it holds. His eyes glowed when he thought of this.

The Giant tried to put up a fight, but against Grey, he couldn't even defend himself, much less fight against him.

The large body of the Giant fell to the ground with a resounding thud.

"I don't think this is the only person here." Grey commented.

"He might be a scout." He added.

Void tried to sense if there was anyone around, but he didn't find anyone. There's a high chance that someone might be hiding from his senses, and so long the person doesn't come out, he wouldn't know.

Grey sent his senses inside the body of the Giant as he tried to study how they change their sizes.

He stayed for a while before leaving. The bodies of Giant were completely different from humans, even the arrangements of the organs were different.

When Grey returned, the result of his battle had already been known since the ripples of the battle attracted most of the youths there. There are a few who were still looking at him in shock, especially those in the Seventh stage just like him.

"There should be more, but I didn't sense any of them." Grey said to Liam and the other two.

The two at the Peak looked at Grey, although they were impressed by his strength, they still didn't think he would be a match for them.

Grey wasn't bothered by the way they were staring at him, he left soon after he finished talking with Liam.

"We should go out and attack them." One of the two at the Peak beside Liam suggested after Grey left.

"No. It's too dangerous. We don't know how many of them are hiding." Liam rejected the idea immediately.

"So what now? Wait for that guy to decide?" The other guy at the Peak asked.

"Not necessarily. I'll discuss this with him, if he agrees to come with us, then the chances of us winning would greatly be boosted." Liam replied.

…

Later that night.

Liam walked up to Grey where he was seated, "Can I sit?"

Grey glanced at him before nodding.

"We were planning on going out in a group, I don't know if you want to join us." Liam went straight to the point after taking his seat.

"When?"

"An hour from now, just four of us."

"Okay."

Liam stood up and left after hearing Grey's reply.

One hour went by in the blink of an eye. Grey walked up to the trio and they set off. Once again, he disguised himself. He didn't want a scenario where their opponents would run away even before coming out to attack them.

The group ventured around one kilometer away from their hideout before a group of six walked out from the shadows. Each person in the group was at the Peak of the Sage Plane. Three of them were from the Gnome race, while the other three were from the Giant race.

Grey had sensed the trio from the Gnome race before they even came out.

'Looks like they've gone out to call more. Either that, or I missed some.' He squinted his eyes as he stared at them.

The group of six surrounded them while one of them chuckled.

"I was already planning on giving up, who knew the fun would arrive so soon."

"Once we kill these four, there would be no way for them to call reinforcements."

One of the strange things about this place is that the portal was not in the place where the hideout was built. However, it wasn't far from it.

To these six, they thought Liam and the other two were protecting Grey so he would be able to go out and call reinforcements.
