Affinity:Chaos

"Begin!"

Boom! Bam!

Grey's last opponent in the Second stage didn't hold anything back while attacking. Of course he was aware of Grey's ability to switch places with his opponent, but he just doesn't seem to care, or at least that was how it looked given how recklessly he was attacking.

He was from the Pyro Faction, which meant he was using the fire element.

His attacks were powerful, more than that of any of the people Grey had ever fought against.

Seeing the raging flames coming towards him, Grey knew blocking it was completely out of question. With a swift movement, he dodged to the right, making sure he escaped from the range of that attack.

His expression soon changed the moment he dodged the attack, the reason for this was because there was a figure made entirely of fire, standing over two meters tall that suddenly appeared before him.

He didn't need anyone to tell him what it was, an Elemental Warrior, and a high-grade one to boot.

Bam!

The Elemental Warrior sent a punch towards him.

Grey crossed his hands in front of him, ice quickly spreading across them to increase his defense. But he was effortlessly sent flying by the Elemental Warrior.

Swoosh! Bang!

He slammed into the ground heavily, bouncing off a few times. Just as his body bounced off the ground for the fourth time, the Elemental Warrior appeared beside him, giving him a powerful kick on the side of his stomach that sent him shooting into the sky.

Grey was sent well over fifteen meters into the air, giving off a trail of ice as he shot up.

He managed to use the water element to create ice around his body that helped block the attack of the Elemental Warrior. Although he was able to block it, he still faced the full brunt of the attack which rocked him.

The kick made him feel like his organs had all moved positions, causing him a lot of pain.

'Damn it! I need to find a way to fight back,' Grey thought while still mid-air.

This wasn't his first time fighting against Elemental Warriors, so he knew just how powerful they could get.

The Elemental Warrior appeared in the sky, while Grey was spiraling down, throwing a punch at his ċhėst.

This time, instead of using ice, Grey opted to use water instead, trying to soften the punch, while also praying that it slowed it down enough for him to quickly escape.

Luckily, the water managed to halt the movement of the punch, just in time to give him the chance to use the space element to dodge.

The fist of the Elemental Warrior gave off a huge amount of steam since it was made of flames.

Grey's figure suddenly appeared behind the Elemental Warrior, adorned in ice armor from head to toe, he punched the head of the Elemental Warrior, infusing all four elements into his attack.

Bam! Bang! Crash!

The Elemental Warrior came crashing down from the blow, landing heavily on the ground. It created a large dust cloud on the platform as it landed.

But before long, its flaming red-figure could be seen shooting towards Grey.

Bam! Bang! Boom!

They started exchanging blows mid-air. Grey punched as if his life depended on it, dodging as many blows as he could while also delivering some powerful ones.

….

The crowd was surprised by Grey's approach in this battle. Even though they knew from the start that his physical strength was high, of them actually expected him to fight against an Elemental Warrior with his fist. Naturally, the fight was nothing short of amazing in their eyes.

They cheered as Grey and the Elemental Warrior fought across the entire platform, one figure covered in ice, and the other made entirely of flames. It was like a battle of two contrasting elements.

….

Bang!

Grey slammed into the ground heavily, but quickly bounced up, coating himself with the lightning element, he dodged to the side, to make sure the Elemental Warrior's follow-up attack didn't hit him.

Moving his fingers as if drawing multiple seals, he created a lightning attack that covered a span of over five cubic meters, perfectly hitting the Elemental Warrior with the repeated attacks.

This attack focused on the speed of the Elementalist since it involved attacking repeatedly with a series of lightning strikes, from different angles, all done by the Elementalist. If the Elementalist is slow, then the attack wouldn't be able to carry any powerful punch.

The Elemental Warrior was forced to take a few steps back, before creating a fire sword that it used to block most of Grey's attacks.

Grey quickly took out a blade from his storage ring, of course it wasn't the one he acquired from the Gayle family. Although the quality was a little lacking, he felt he could make do with it. Not just that, but while he was attacking a few moments ago, he had also created the array he made when fighting against Phoebe.

Bang! Bam!

They started exchanging attacks with swords, Grey looking as if he was in every single part of the platform.

Just when everyone was still engrossed in the battle, it suddenly stopped. The reason for this was because Grey's sword was currently placed on the neck of the young man from the Pyro Faction, and the Elemental Warrior was a distance away.

Grey's eyes were cold, clearly saying that if the young man didn't stop his Elemental Warrior, then he would end him.

'Heh!' A grin formed on the face of the young man.

Boom!

Grey was pushed back when an explosion suddenly occurred, with him bearing the brunt of the attack.
