AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 1316  Polite Klaus

Five, from eight, they were now five. They were fighting against two people who hadn't even gotten to the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, Reynolds was still at the Fifth stage, and his increased strength was all due to his Elemental Warrior. Yet, they had succeeded in killing two people, while incapacitating one of them.

This was something the Gnomes would not believe at the start, but to their surprise, it was happening right before their eyes and they couldn't even stop it.

"I want to skin them alive." The Prince said through gritted teeth.

The others all had the same thoughts, but deep down, the feeling of fear was starting to sprout. After seeing two of their comrades get killed by the supposed weak humans, they didn't have the same feeling of superiority over them. Even with their puppets, they still weren't as strong as the duo. It was a shocking discovery. The thing that made it even worse was the fact that the duo they were fighting wasn't even at the Peak. They were at least two stages below them, yet they were able to kill them.

If all humans were like Grey and his friends, then they didn't want to invade the human world any longer. A Peak Elemental Venerable human might be able to kill them with ease. If Klaus and Reynolds were at the Peak, they couldn't help but think about what might happen in this battle.

The Prince was the first to chase after them, he didn't even spare the man who was killed by Klaus' attack any glance, his eyes were bloodshot, set on the running duo.

While the Prince and his group were chasing after the duo, Klaus and Reynolds couldn't believe their luck.

They have managed to kill two Peak Elemental Venerables, although it was mainly due to tricks and the fact that they didn't defend against their attacks, it still didn't change the fact that they had achieved such a feat. Klaus was the one with a proud smile on his face, he was the one who killed the duo, so he felt most of the credit belonged to him.

Reynolds couldn't be bothered if he was the one who got the credit, as long as the number of people chasing them reduced, he was okay.

The duo continued rushing through the woods.

"I can't go any further, I need some rest." Klaus said, his smile not one of ecstasy anymore, he was genuinely tired of this cat and mouse chase.

"Rabbit, take us away." He said.

However, the bunny leader he was waiting for didn't show up.

He looked around, but there was nothing in view. A strange coldness went through his body and he took another glance around before calling for the bunny leader. Just like his first attempt, his calls fell on deaf ears.

"Damn it! I thought Grey said this rabbit would help us whenever we called?" Klaus cussed out.

"It has been helping us since, what suddenly happened?" Reynolds' words reminded Klaus of the bunny leader's role in them still being alive and also being able to kill two Peak Elemental Venerables.

"Did something happen to it?" Reynolds asked as they rushed through the woods.

They noticed the speed of the Prince and the others chasing after them suddenly increased.

A few puppets seemed to be burning as they were chasing after them, an effect of going more than what they could handle. Seeing this, they knew the group of five all had the same thoughts; kill the duo.

The duo felt a chill run down their spines.

"Fuck! Why did something have to happen to it now?" Klaus was almost losing his mind.

It would've been fine if the bunny leader didn't respond when they were chasing after the Prince, at that time, they would've known what to do, but now, the bunny leader wasn't responding, and the duo were almost at their end.

The full moon behind Klaus had already reduced to a half moon, and at the pace it was reducing, it would only take at most a minute before it completely faded off. His strength would fall back to the Seventh stage, this was not in his plans.

Reynolds was no better, his Elemental Warrior was fading off slowly, and to make it last longer, he had even stopped using any form of energy from it, this is one of the reasons his speed reduced, just like Klaus.

The Prince and the other Peak Elemental Venerables that were with him already sensed the reduced speed of the duo and knew that whatever technique they were using to increase their strengths was starting to wear off.

"Haha, I'll see if you can survive any longer." The Prince laughed maniacally. He was on the verge of going mad. Presently, his hate for Klaus and Reynolds was superior to the one he had for Grey. Although he was afraid of Grey, he wasn't tormented in such a manner by him.

Klaus and Reynolds on the other hand made him feel like his existence was meaningless. He had never felt this way about himself before.

"I must kill them." He whispered through gritted teeth.

Klaus and Reynolds had no idea the amount of hate they just caused for themselves. All they wanted at the moment was for the bunny leader to answer them, Klaus was literally close to crying.

His speed was reducing at a very fast rate, the same could be said for Reynolds. They were both tired of the constant running.

Before long, the Prince was the first to catch up to them, alongside his puppet.

"I want to see just how powerful you two are." The Prince's voice was cold, sending chills across the area.

The other four soon caught up, their puppets flying beside them.

Klaus and Reynolds stopped running, they knew turning their backs to them would only put them in danger.

"We've already killed two of you, and the other can't fight. Why don't you wait for an hour?" Klaus asked politely.

The Prince didn't even give them any chance and attacked without hesitation.

The expression of Klaus and Reynolds changed drastically, they knew they couldn't block this attack.

Boom!
