Affinity:Chaos

The Seventh Prince attacked after saying this.

Alice was in a state where she couldn't block any attack coming her way. She tried to drag her body out of the way, but she was too exhausted to do anything. Even though she wanted to leave, she realized she couldn't. Her body was completely worn out, there was nothing she could do to stop the attack from hitting her.

The Seelie which had originally disappeared reappeared and stood in front of her. It had bonded with Alice and knew that if she was hit by this attack, she would die, which was also bad for it.

But it was different if it was the one hit by the attack.

The Prince watched on coldly when the attack made contact, giving off a powerful explosion. His eyes were cold as he looked at the place the attack struck.

His lips curved upwards, he was about to break into a smile when he noticed something wasn't right.

"Why does it feel like the attack didn't hit them?" He muttered and squinted his eyes, staring into the flames from the explosion.

He waved his hand, forcing the smoke and flames from the explosion away. His pupils enlarged when he noticed there was no one there. Alice and the Seelie were nowhere to be seen.

He spread out his spiritual senses, but he still wasn't able to locate the duo. The thought that the duo vanished without a trace angered the Prince.

"Impossible!"

He was fuming. While he was still searching for them, he turned to look behind him.

He seemed to catch the glimpse of a small black figure, but he wasn't certain what it was since it was very fast. But the reason he turned around wasn't because of the black figure, rather, it was because he could sense his brother's aura rushing towards him.

"Why's he coming back?" He was surprised.

There were seven other Peak Elemental Venerables with his brother, and the strongest person was holding Grey back.

When he saw Alice, he already knew the plan of Grey and his friends. So he guessed his brother's group would also be attacked. However, he wasn't too bothered about it given their numbers and strength.

"Why are you still here?" The Second Prince appeared close to his brother, when he took a glance his eyes turned cold.

He could tell a battle took place here, and seeing the current state of his brother, he knew his brother was the one who got the better of his opponent.

Alice was the only one he didn't see, so he could already guess what happened here. However, he couldn't help but feel a certain way.

He was in a sorry state, and his younger brother was able to deal with the person sent after him.

"Did you guys get attacked too?" The Seventh Prince asked.

"We're leaving. Staying here is too dangerous. We have to get father to increase the bounty on his head. He's too dangerous." The Second Prince said, and took flight after finishing his statement.

The Seventh Prince didn't need any explanation, he could already tell who his elder brother was talking about. From his elder brother's manner, it was clear that he was terrified of Grey.

"Don't tell me he killed the others…" The Seventh Prince looked in the direction the Second Prince was coming from and he couldn't sense anyone coming from that angle.

"He defeated all of them."

This realization scared the crap out of him. If Grey defeated them and forced his elder brother who was very prideful to run in such a manner, it meant that he was even more of a freak than he thought.

Grey chased after the strongest among them and still managed to go back and attack the Second Prince's group. It was shocking just thinking about it.

If Grey was able to catch up to them so early, it meant that he had already dealt with the man who was supposed to hold him back.

"It hasn't even been up to twenty minutes…"

The Seventh Prince didn't know how to feel about Grey. At first, he believed he would be the one to kill Grey, but after meeting Grey for the second time, he knew his dream was not possible in any way.

Grey was advancing too quickly, and in a matter of months, he would get to the Sovereign Plane. If someone like Grey were to reach the Peak of the human world before the war breaks out, they would be in trouble.

The Seventh Prince didn't dare to stay there any longer, he chased after his elder brother, their destination was the portal. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.

….

Alice opened her eyes to total darkness. She didn't understand what happened, one moment she was about to be hit by a life-threatening attack, the next moment she was in a dark place.

She tried to look around, but she couldn't see any light.

"Don't worry, you're safe here."

A small voice resounded in her ears, she didn't need to ask who it was. She had been with Void for too long not to recognize his voice.

"So Grey sent you to make sure I don't die." She asked.

"Just a precautionary measure. The bunny is with the other two as well." Void replied, for some reason, he could sense a hint of sadness in Alice's voice.

It was as if she was sad with the fact that Grey didn't believe she was strong enough to defeat the Prince on her own. But when she thought deeply about it, her sadness disappeared. She knew what she was capable of, and so did Grey.

The Seventh Prince was someone Grey had fought with before and to a certain extent, it could be said that he knew what he was capable of. Since he sent Void, it meant that he didn't want anything to happen to Alice if by chance she wasn't able to defeat the Prince or escape.

"He's always so thoughtful." She said with a soft smile.
