Affinity:Chaos

Boom!

The place shook once again, this time, affecting the entire underground city.

'Grey, did you feel that?' Void's voice echoed in Grey's head.

'I'm part of the cause.' Grey replied as he dodged an attack.

The man and his corpses were making things difficult for Grey. Even with his inscriptions, Grey was finding it hard to fight against the man.

'Well, stop it, you're going to sink the entire place.' Void said.

'Do you think I haven't tried to? This guy's trying to kill me.' Grey replied as he brushed through one of the corpses.

He activated his gravitational force field and the corpse fell to the ground. Without wasting any time, he created an earth dome to seal it.

The corpse tried to break free from the earth dome, but it was unable to. Grey hadn't been able to calm down before the man continued his attacks on him.

Now, only one of the corpses was left, and with the man, he had to fight against two people. But he was very certain that this was not the man's full array of attacking options.

He was still contemplating how to eliminate the second corpse when he saw another coffin appearing beside the man.

'Crap!' He complained and attacked.

He didn't want to instantly bring out his domains, the time wasn't right yet, and he wanted to ensure that when he brings it out, it will take out the man once and for all.

The other coffin contained a corpse from the Lutra race.

Grey rushed into the battle with the man and his corpses while trying to ensure that he dodged as many attacks as he could. One of the things that Grey found a little worrying was that all the corpses the man had been bringing out for some time now are all at the Peak of the Sage Plane. He couldn't help but ponder over how many more corpses the man had.

The time he could stay in the Fusion State had increased after his breakthrough into the Sage Plane. Not just that, but he could also use it more frequently without having to fear any backlashes.

A fusion orb exploded, sending the corpses around him flying. The man was able to block the attack, but he was forced back by it.

Grey released his gravitational field to the limit which was currently around sixty meters. He shortened the gap between him and the man and once caught in the gravitational field, Grey used the wind element to bolster the speed of his attack. Sending out multiple tendrils of darkness element into the body of the corpses that were still trying to recover from his previous attacks.

Not just that, but he sent a lightning bolt in the direction of the man, striking him with it.

The tendrils entered the body of the corpses, but Grey felt a sharp pain in his head. He gritted his teeth and his eyes glowed with a pale blue flame and he looked into the listless eyes of the corpses.

The man screamed in pain this time and grabbed his head.

'I see.' Grey thought internally.

The man set a mental connection with his corpses, he was able to attack Grey's mind when he tried to mess around with them. When Grey noticed this, he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense from the tendrils he sent into the body of the corpses and attacked with a mental attack as well.

The blue flame gave him a mental attack ability, and it had grown stronger now that he was in the Sage Plane.

"You little… Ah!" The man was in the middle of saying something when he screamed in pain once again.

This time, after Grey hit him with a mental attack, he struck him with a bolt of lightning as well. Smoke started to come out of his body.

"Hehe, now these guys are pretty much useless." Grey chuckled as he looked at the corpses which were no longer able to move.

'I should be able to modify them and control them.' Grey thought about it for some time and decided against it. He respected the dead and preferred they stayed dead, with no one controlling them against their will.

The man gritted his teeth as he looked at Grey with hateful eyes.

"You wiped off my imprint, you're quite something, kid. Now I know why you were marked." The man commented when he didn't feel any connection with the corpses any longer.

He wanted to bring out another corpse, but the thought of Grey using it to attack him made him think twice about it.

"I dabble into a lot of things when researching." Grey said offhandedly.

"I can see that. But your knowledge will only bring you trouble." The man shook his body.

He started to increase in his body size and his skin got darker. After some time, he was standing over two and a half meters with dark red skin color.

Grey could feel a strange demonic aura coming out from the man's body.

"During the Great War, if not for that moron, I would've been invincible. Now, I have to fight against a small kid using my secret strength, heh, how low I've fallen." The man started to speak.

Grey looked at the man as he spoke. He could barely relate to what he was saying, all he knew about was the Great War Of Gods. From his guess, the man was probably referring to that.

"Are you referring to the War of Gods?" He asked to be sure.

"That's what you call it? It's quite normal given how weak humans were, if not for that fool, we would've won the war without too many casualties." The man said with a reminiscing look.

Grey's words made him recall the years of war.

Grey listened to the man's words. He never thought he would actually see someone that was from the time of the War of Gods. He knew there might be people still alive given the lifespan of those powerful Elementalists, but seeing one was still a little shocking.
