Affinity:Chaos

Alice's Seelie was overpowered by the puppet while the Seventh Prince was pushing Alice back as the time went on, there was no way she could fight against him without the help of the Seelie increasing her strength.

In the void.

Void was watching the battle casually, while also eating a big chunk of meat from the plate in front of him.

It was one of the meals he kept, and he didn't see a better time to eat than now. He knew there was no way the Seventh Prince would be able to kill Alice, and even if he were to get the chance to kill her, it wouldn't be that easy.

"She's getting stronger. Nice!" He commented when he saw Alice take a blow from the Seventh Prince.

When the battle started, Alice wouldn't have been able to take a blow of his power, but now, she managed to take it head-on and even stayed in the same position.

Void wasn't the only one seeing the sudden increase of Alice's strength, the Seventh Prince was seeing it too. He knew that as they battled, she was getting stronger.

'Why are all these humans suddenly freaks?' He was stunned beyond words.

He just came to the conclusion of killing Alice off, yet she had grown stronger as they battled, doesn't that mean it would become harder for him to kill her now?

The Seventh Prince's frustration increased even more and he attacked more aggressively.

His attacks kept easily destroying Alice's defense, and the impact kept forcing her back. Alice had been on the back foot since the start of the battle, and even with the Prince's increased pressure, she didn't fold. She knew an opportunity might present itself to her and she would take it without hesitation, even if it turned out to be very dangerous.

Alice was someone who enjoyed fighting, she was a battle freak, now being against someone that was stronger than she was, she didn't want to give up, not because she felt she could win, but because she knew that the longer she holds on, the stronger she could grow. There might also be a chance for her to take down the Prince. If that happens, then she would grow even further than what she would expect.

….

On Grey's end.

Grey didn't opt to chase after the man, the reason for this was because he knew breaking the connection with the puppet would seriously harm the man. It would take the man a few months at the very least to recover from the injuries he sustained from the battle, and at least three to five years before he recovers from the connection break with these puppets.

These puppets were different from the normal ones. If the connection with a normal puppet was broken, it would only affect the person linked to it for a few seconds, but these ones have a long lasting effect. The man was still clearly suffering from the last one Grey cut off the link with, and now forcibly breaking the connection and also self-destructing it would make his mental injuries even worse.

"I won't be seeing any of him for a long time. I should go help out the others before they plan my death." Grey looked around and sensed the region Klaus and Reynolds were, he didn't bother too much with Alice. With Void keeping watch over her, he was sure nothing bad would happen to her. At most, she might sustain a few not so lethal injuries.

After getting the direction of Klaus and Reynolds, Grey went after them. The bunny leader was also there to help them out, but he knew it wouldn't be easy for it to take them out of there unscathed.

…

On Klaus and Reynolds' end.

The duo were fighting with the Second Prince, the battle was just as they expected, but it was not going according to their plan. Yes, they were a tad stronger than the Second Prince and his puppet, but they hadn't been able to deal any serious injuries to the Prince.

The Prince focused more on defense, so even with the duo fighting with all their might, they were still not able to break the defense.

Klaus' domain was on the verge of falling apart after so many attacks. The Prince's blade was seething with flames.

Klaus was holding onto his thin sword as well. The sword he got from the secret realm that increases his ice abilities was what he was using to fight with the Second.

Both parties were holding swords that opposed the other person's elements.

Clank! Bang! Bam!

They attacked, each releasing powerful attacks with their swords.

Reynolds was the one who was fighting against the puppet. He was in his merged state and even with the puppet being at the Peak, it isn't strong enough to over Reynolds.

Reynolds and the puppet was fighting in close range, both using their fists and legs. Their battle was more brutish compared to Klaus'.

"You will die before anyone comes to save you." Klaus said as he attacked.

The Second Prince didn't say anything, he didn't expect Klaus had such a magnificent sword as well. His sword was powerful, and so was that of Klaus.

Klaus slashed at the Second Prince, but the Second Prince blocked it, using his fire element to force Klaus back.

While they were still fighting, Klaus sensed something and his expression changed.

"Haha, they're coming." The Second Prince laughed in delight.

He could sense the aura of five others, coming from different directions. It was clear their motive was to ensure there was no way Klaus and Reynolds would be able to escape their encirclement.

Reynolds and Klaus attacked more aggressively, trying to make sure they at least harmed the Second Prince.

'Damn it! Why did they come so early?' He complained internally.

It hadn't been up to two minutes since they started fighting, and he didn't expect the others to rush here so soon. Even with delaying, it still wasn't enough.

Reynolds took a glance at Klaus, seeking what their next step would be.
