Affinity:Chaos

Grey was the one who led the attack, he was the one who brought the idea of them using physical attacks and also earth and ice attacks, and with the help of his space element, he was more mobile.

The plan was for him to attract all the attention to himself and give the others free reign to attack the beast without having to face too much resistance from the Scorpion.

When he arrived in front of the Scorpion, he didn't hold back and unleashed a powerful lightning bolt at it. The Scorpion moved its pincers to block the attack, but Grey drew close to it and attacked once again, this time, with his fist. He struck one of the pincers of the Scorpion.

However, the result of the punch was completely different from the previous attack. The last time, the Scorpion didn't expect his punch to pack that much power and didn't do much to defend against it, and it was also taken by surprise. Now that it knew Grey's ability, it didn't dare to take him for granted.

It reinforced its defense before taking Grey's blow. Unlike the previous time that it was sent flying, it only moved back by a few meters, using its other pincer to swipe at Grey.

Just as Grey was dodging, it unleashed a beam of light from its mouth.

Grey, seeing where its attack was aimed at couldn't help but cuss out lightly. The attack was so well timed by the Scorpion that he was forced to either take that attack head-on or take the pincer attack head-on.

Grey wasn't one to be stuck in a dilemma when placed in such positions, without even thinking, he moved back to where the pincer was coming from and silver scales appeared on his arms as he crossed them in front of him, blocking the attack that was coming his way.

Like a broken kite, Grey's figure shot through the air, slamming into one of the sand mountains on the side.

At the time the Scorpion's attack just hit Grey, the Giants, as well as the other Earth and Water Elementalists attacked, not giving the Scorpion any chance to reinforce its defense or even prepare for their attacks.

They all made sure before attacking, the Scorpion wouldn't have the chance to block it. It was a well-planned move, and to be honest, it was a good plan.

All their attacks landed on the large body of the Scorpion at the same time. The punches of the Giants, as well as the earth elemental attacks. The ice attacks weren't as many as the earth elemental attacks.

All the attacks simultaneously hit the Scorpion and it let out a pained screech before burrowing into the ground, rushing to leave the area.

Bang!

The Scorpion which just disappeared into the ground was sent flying into the sky, and it crashed into the ground, causing sand to fly all around.

Grey's figure appeared from beneath the ground. He had been waiting for this opportunity after being sent flying by the Scorpion. Luckily, he had the space element, so it was easy for him to return here.

When the others saw Grey's figure, they were a little taken aback, but after recalling how easy it was for him to move from one location to another, they stopped getting surprised by it.

'It's a good thing I marked it while dealing that blow.' Grey thought to himself.

The large frame of the Scorpion sprang back up, confusion evident in its eyes. It thought it had escaped, only to find a powerful force sending it flying from the ground.

It looked around and saw the person behind it. A hint of hatred flashed through its eyes when it saw Grey. Grey was too difficult to deal with, and seeing how Grey's condition was, it couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Even after taking the full force attack of the Scorpion, Grey was perfectly fine, other than the sleeves of his clothes which ripped apart, there was nothing else. It was as if he didn't get hit by the Scorpion.

The Scorpion wasn't the only one shocked, Elaris and the other two at the Peak were beyond shocked. They all saw Grey taking the blow, but none of them noticed Grey's arm turning silver during the last second before getting hit. So they didn't understand how Grey was able to take the blow without sustaining any injuries.

The Scorpion moved very fast and before they knew it, it was already in front of Grey. Its dangerous tail stabbed at the place Grey was standing, but it didn't meet any resistance, hitting the ground. The figure of Grey which was there started to fade off.

"An afterimage!" One of the Giants said with a serious expression.

"Just how fast is he?"

his extraordinary speed.

A freak born for battles!

Grey having the space element already made him extremely difficult to handle when fighting against him. Now, the fact that he could leave behind an afterimage showed them that he was still very fast without his space element. This meant that if they were planning to seal the space to deal with him, he was still very dangerous due to his extraordinary speed.

A freak born for battles!

This was what they felt Grey was. All the abilities Grey has displayed prove why they felt he was born for battles. He had multiple elements, could easily go from one place to another, and was terrifyingly strong with both his elements and physical strength. He was the perfect warrior.

The Scorpion didn't stand idle after missing the first attack, it sank into the sand and disappeared.

Before anyone could figure out where it or Grey was they all heard an explosion come from the area where Sylvia's brother and the other Giant that was in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable was located.

The expressions of everyone changed, however, they noticed the explosion wasn't because the duo took a blow, rather, it was the clash between Grey and the Scorpion. The duo was perfectly fine thanks to Grey who made sure the duo didn't feel any impact from the attack.

"Stay in the air, don't give it the chance to attack you guys." Grey said before trying to force the Scorpion back.

The others at the Peak came at this time and they all attacked, embroiled in a fierce battle with the Scorpion.

Magical Beasts, especially types like this Scorpion that didn't only have a powerful attack but also possessed a powerful attack were very rare. They were too difficult to handle. Even when fighting against multiple people at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, it was still not overwhelmed.

But after taking a few hits from the Giants and Grey, it started to show signs of wearing down.

Although its armor only had a few cracks, it was evident that its innards had suffered a great deal of damage from the attacks.

Everyone could see this as the speed of the Scorpion reduced significantly.

The Scorpion unleashed a light beam, forcing the others back, but just as it was about to sink into the ground, it felt a powerful suction force drag it into the air, in the direction of Grey who had his palm outstretched.

Grey already alerted the Giants to be prepared for the next round of attacks. He didn't want the Scorpion to escape, and he wasn't in too much of a hurry as he used to be, the reason for this was because he had sensed that Void's movement had come to a stop. This meant that he wasn't going any further.

'Something must've stopped him. I'll kill this guy and make use of its armor.' Grey's eyes shone with a brilliant light as he looked at the Scorpion.

He exuded a shocking killing intent that frightened not just the Scorpion but everyone present. If Grey targeted a weak-willed person with this killing intent, the person wouldn't be able to even lift their hands to defend against an attack from him.

The Scorpion wasn't one of such, it was powerful and had seen its fair share of battles, unless the strength gap was insurmountable, then it would never give up when battling someone like Grey.

Grey attacked with conviction, making use of the space element once more to attack. This time, the power behind his dimensional slash was even greater than what he had ever shown.

He mixed the attack with a hint of spatial distortion, making the attack even more dangerous.

The Giants attacked as well.

Due to being dragged back against its will, the Scorpion was forced to block the attacks coming its way, including Grey's fearful attack.

Bang! Bam!

All the attacks hit the body of the Scorpion, but all the focus was on Grey's attack.

The Giants felt dread when they saw the attack and the intent behind it, some of them were asking themselves if they could block the attacks.

Elaris took another glance at Grey. And for the first time in her life, she started to doubt her abilities.
