Affinity:Chaos

The Prince was placed in a difficult position as he tried to block Grey's attack. However, Grey uses his space element to make life a living hell for the Prince.

Even though the Prince also had the space element, he had difficulties blocking this particular attack. The sudden switch of attack from regular inscription attacks to the chaos orbs was just too fast, before he could even sense the space element coming to play, the attack was already in front of him.

He soon gave up the thought of blocking and started dodging the attacks. This way, there was no way Grey would be able to catch him off guard. His only problem was that he couldn't get close to Grey. The reason for this was that Grey covered himself with multiple chaos orbs. It was almost impossible for anyone to get close to him without being blasted by these orbs.

"If you know you're strong, come, fight me head-on." The Prince tried to draw Grey out of the encirclement of chaos orbs.

Grey laughed before sending an orb out.

The Prince instantly vanished when he saw this, thinking Grey wanted to attack him, however, he soon realized that the orb only moved a few meters away from Grey before heading back.

Grey burst out laughing, while the Prince gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Grey was messing with him, he knew this, but with Grey's defenses, there was nothing he could do about it. Of all the humans he had met, not just humans, but people from both his race and the Giant race, Grey was the most detestable person he had seen. If given the chance, he would not only kill Grey, but he would also kill his parents and entire family members.

Grey had no idea of what was going through the head of the Prince. He was currently thinking of what to do to the Prince. One of the reasons he was hiding in his chaos orbs was because although he was strong, from the few exchanges he has had with the Prince, he knew that he was not the Prince's match in a battle. He was not one who would overestimate his capabilities, since he was not as strong as his opponent, he would resolve to trickery. With all the things he had up his sleeves, it was almost impossible to be killed by the Prince.

The Prince attacked, but Grey sent an orb at the attack, causing a loud explosion.

"Fine! I'll see how long these orbs will last you." The Prince snorted coldly and started to attack Grey randomly.

He didn't even bother about anything else and just attacked.

The only attack Grey could use that would be able to block the Prince's attacks was his chaos orb, and even with that, he was still continuously pushed back by the impact of the explosion.

Once the chaos orbs around him were exhausted, the Prince would be able to kill him with ease. Well, so he thought.

After sending out more than fifty attacks, he noticed something odd, the orbs didn't seem to have an end. In the space of a minute he had released over fifty attacks, and Grey had blocked all of them with a chaos orb. It would be normal for the ones around him to reduce, but they were still the same number, if his eyes weren't failing him, there even seemed to be a slight increase in their size.

'This shouldn't be possible… right?' The Prince was confused.

From each chaos orb, he could sense a large amount of elemental essence. Even with the essence in the surrounding, Grey couldn't directly take from it like an Elemental Venerable. So Grey was using from his essence reserves. But, his reserves shouldn't be able to keep up with his current use of his attacks. Any normal Elementalist would already realize this problem and would stop using this attack. Once an Elementalist runs out of elemental essence when fighting then they were as good as dead, especially against an opponent that was way stronger than they were.

Grey didn't seem to be worrying about this as he attacked wantonly. He even seemed to be enjoying it.

"What are you?" The Prince couldn't help but ask.

"I'm the greatest genius of all time." Grey replied loudly, his voice oozing with unbridled confidence.

The Prince paused for a moment, and it was as if he was starting to believe it. But his eyes soon changed.

"Before me, you're nothing." He said coldly and started attacking once again.

'We'll see who has a greater essence reserve.' He thought to himself.

Grey wanted to fight against him in terms of this, he was only digging his own grave.

One was an Elemental Venerable, while the other was a Sage Plane Elementalist, the difference should be clear.

Just when the Prince was about to attack again, his vision suddenly changed.

'Huh?'

His expression changed for a slight moment before he sprang to action. A defensive wall soon covered his body as he roared out with explosive power. The power pushed everything around him.

Originally, the thought of Grey being able to switch places with another figure crossed his mind when he first saw Grey use the switch skill, but after Grey didn't use it, he felt maybe he could only move small things. Luckily, he still didn't bring his guard down and was able to react accordingly. Unfortunately, the orbs were just too many.

The orbs started bombarding the defensive wall and a crack soon appeared. The Prince wanted to try to use the space element to escape, but the moment a spatial tunnel was opened up, it became chaotic, putting the Prince in even bigger danger.

With his full strength, he didn't try to only block Grey's attack, but he also forcefully closed down the spatial tunnel. By the time he was done with this, the defensive screen had already broken apart and an orb hit him on the back, sending him flying.

During this short time, the number of chaos orbs had gone down by more than half its original number. From around fifty, it was around fifteen now.

The rest chased after the Prince as he was thrown to the ground.
