Affinity:Chaos

Grey stood at the back of the group as they advanced forward. He didn't want to draw any attention to himself. 

When the group got to where the gate to the capital was located, they attacked immediately. 

The second they attacked, the young lady who was in charge of the array activated it to ensure that there would be no way any news would be sent to the experts that weren't in the city. 

The guards at the gate were only in the Origin Plane, so they were basically useless against these youths. Each of the people present in the group was already in the Late stages of the Overlord Plane. Other than the five who were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, ten were in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane, right were in the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane, and the rest were in the Seventh stage of the Overlord Plane. 

The array they set outside would ensure that no signals were sent out from the city. They closed the gates to ensure that everyone stayed inside. 

The array was also solid, this way it would stop anyone that wanted to escape from the encirclement. 

Grey looked at the lightning cloud above him and shook his hand gently. Tiny particles made from the darkness element flew into the sky, spreading in the entire city. Due to the size of the city, it was impossible for him to use it to poison everyone. That was never his plan in the first place. 

He had done a few types of research on the horned race and surprisingly, he noticed they were weak against the darkness element. Once it manages to get into their body, it would be able to cause great harm to them. It would decrease their fighting capabilities first off. Presently, this was what Grey wanted. 

Since he was part of the group, he naturally had to make sure things went smoothly. 

Void had already mapped out all the places that had humans as either slaves or captives. Not just that, but there were also a few places where he sensed treasures. Grey planned on visiting those places while the others saved the humans there. 

The moment the group entered the city, they spread into groups of three. Grey didn't group up with anyone. He preferred moving alone. He wasn't the only one who moved alone, all those at the Peak of the Overlord Plane did the same. 

Each group had at least one Ninth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist, and a distress signal to alert the others in case they encountered a situation they couldn't deal with. 

Grey's target was none other than the treasures Void sensed, and unsurprisingly, it was in the center of the city. The place where the largest building was located. 

While he was rushing there, he noticed powerful auras rushing from different parts of the city and heading in the direction of the city gate. He could already hear the sounds of battles ongoing in different places. 

He made sure to evade all of them. It would be best if he could get to the building without being noticed. Unfortunately, things never go to plan. 

A young horned man blocked his path. The horned man had two colored horns, and even his eyes were two different colors. He was already at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. 

"I can't go unnoticed, huh?" Grey looked at the horned man before him with a cold gaze. 

"I never expected your kind would fight back." The horned man said in a cool and collected manner. It was like he didn't think of Grey as an opponent. 

Grey didn't even bother to speak, with a wave of his hand, he sent a fireball at the young horned man. 

The horned man snorted coldly before summoning a large bird made of ice. The bird looked so lifelike that it had Grey a little surprised. 

The bird screeched before charging at Grey's fireball. It collided with the fireball and shot past it as if it didn't even exist. 

Grey's fire element was his strongest element, so the fact that this bird could ignore the attack showed how powerful it was. 

He didn't feel any sense of pressure from it, rather, a smirk appeared on his face. Just as the bird was within a few meters of him, it opened its mouth and spat out an icy wind in Grey's direction. 

An earth wall appeared in front of Grey, easily blocking the icy wind. The strength of Grey's earth defense was on another level presently. 

The bird didn't stop its attack there, ice shards appeared on its large feathers as they shot at Grey. The ice shards continuously slammed into the earth wall, but it stood steadfast. 

A light flashed through the eyes of the horned man and a lightning bolt struck the earth wall. 

The wall shook and cracks started to appear on it. The ice bird continued its attack and the wall finally broke down. 

The bird charged past the wall, hoping to use its sharp ice claws to slash Grey. 

Grey chuckled and his eyes glowed with a mysterious light. The ice bird which was flying in his direction suddenly slammed into the ground when it got within five meters of Grey. The sudden change in gravity took it unaware and before it could even react it was shattered. 

'Nice.' Grey was pleased with the result of his test. 

This was the first time he was using his newly acquired power, and it was quite impressive. 

He charged at the young horned man, but to his surprise, the horned man retreated, not wanting to engage in a physical battle with him. The horned man continued attacking with his elements alone. 

Grey evaded and countered as their battle raged on. 

The capital city of the horned race was thrown into chaos with explosions ringing out from different locations as a result of the battles going on. 

The children and the weak all rushed to hide so they wouldn't be caught in the battle. This was a battle that even those in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane would be able to impact, much less people that weren't even in the Overlord Plane.
