AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 1355  Battling The Bandits

Bam! Boom!

The battle was intense from the start. Klaus was the only one at the Peak in his group, but he wasn't the only one who had Peak Elemental Venerable strength. Reynolds' Elemental Warrior could use strength equivalent to that of a Peak Venerable. If Alice merges with her Seelie, she can show strength on par with a weak Peak Venerable.

They were all strong, unfortunately, they were completely outnumbered by their opponents.

The six Peak Venerables didn't engage at the start of the battle, rather, they let their underlings do the work for them as they watched from the side.

If that number of Venerables can't take down three Peak Venerables, then they were useless.

Klaus used his domain from the get-go. Anyone below the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane found it difficult to survive the cold. Klaus' domain was freezing those who were too weak to fight the cold.

In the space of a few seconds since the start of the battle, Klaus froze seven people who were in the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane. It was too easy for him against these weaker opponents.

Alice used her dual domain to cause havoc, while Reynolds' Elemental Warrior flashed through the crowd with lightning speed. It was unstoppable.

The six Peak Elemental Venerables were stunned at the abilities the trio were showing. They never thought they'd encounter powerful youths like them. The group were all dressed in expensive clothings, so it was easy to guess that they were all from rich families or top Factions.

The plan was to rob them and acquire some valuables, and from how they dressed, they thought it would be very easy to accomplish this. Unfortunately for them, only three of them were cutting through their group.

"The more powerful they are, the greater the treasures they possess. Kill them all, don't give them any chances!" One of the six Peak Elemental Venerables yelled. He was pumped.

"If we can take their treasures, we will be able to break through, I can feel it!" Another one of them said.

"One of them is missing. I can't sense his presence. Don't take them for granted, these kids are not ordinary." A serious looking one said with a blank face.

"Yeah, I remember there was only three of them. Where did the last one go?" The one with a blonde hair asked.

"He's very skilled at hiding his aura, we should be careful of that one. He might be plotting something."

The others looked around, unsure of what to do. As long as they couldn't sense Grey's whereabouts, they knew they would be in danger.

They might have the advantage, but they knew that one mistake will cost their lives. Of all six of them, none of them wanted to die here, especially when they will defeat their opponent in the end. If they died, the others will benefit from it. So it was best to take precautions.

….

Grey was looking at the battle from above.

"Those guys seem to be afraid of you." Void commented.

"Naturally. I'm too astounding, it's normal for them to be afraid of me." Grey said with a playful smile.

Void rolled his eyes.

Grey watched the battle with interest. He didn't feel any interest in getting involved in the battle. Although it might seem like the trio were outnumbered, in truth, it was only a matter of time before they defeated the large group of bandits.

Grey was certain that the only people that could trouble them were the six people at the Peak of the Venerable Plane. Other than them, the trio were good.

"Will you help them?" Void asked.

"Depends."

"On?"

"If they can't deal with those six."

"What if they join in now?"

"Hmm, that will be troublesome. Since they are already wary of me, I'll just make a move to stop them whenever they want to interfere in the battle."

Grey was fast, so he would be able to deal with them before they caused any harm.

Void didn't have any issues with Grey's plan, as long as he didn't have to do any work, he was good with whatever decision Grey made.

….

On the canyon pathway.

Klaus was like an ice God. His eyes glowed with silver light, and chilling snowy breeze blew through the area, freezing anything in its wake.

Reynolds' Elemental Warrior was flashing through the crowd, cutting people down for fun. The coordination between Klaus and Reynolds was already at the highest. Without thinking, they knew what the other person wanted to do and how to react to the actions. It was like they were working with one brain.

Alice was on the side, battling through the group attacking her. The advantage of fighting against a large group was that there is a large target to aim at. She, on the other hand, was very difficult to hit. Her lightning element made her very fast.

Since she had the Seelie, she has focused more on her fire element since the ice ability of the Seelie complimented her fire element.

The awakening of her fire and ice domain made her fire element even stronger than the lightning element.

As time went on, the size of the group started to dwindle. Before long not more than fifteen were left alive, the rest were either incapacitated, or dead.

Klaus and the other two were very brutal with their attacks, not holding back one bit. Reynolds' Elemental Warrior had the most kills. Klaus was a close second thanks to his wide range of attacking ability.

His domain was even stronger now that he has gotten accustomed to his new abilities. His ice was ferocious, and it seemed to have a mind of its own whenever someone Grey deemed as an opponent gets close to him.

Broken ice sculptures littered the ground, while the scent of burnt flesh filled the air. Reynolds' lightning, and Alice's fire were enough to cause such effects.

The fifteen bandits left, aside those at the Peak, were all in the Late stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

Seeing how the trio managed to kill so many of their companions, fear started to creep into their heads.

It's one thing to be able to hold their own against such a large group, but being able to kill so many while sustaining few injuries was something else. Klaus didn't even look like someone who got into a fight. His clothes were spotless, and even his hair wasn't ruffled.

None of the attacks from the bandits managed to get through Klaus' impeccable defense. The automatic system of his ice defense made him untouchable.

Klaus wore a smile on his face when he saw the look of fear in the eyes of the fifteen.

"Scared? Haha, don't worry, we will go easy on you guys."

One of those in the Late stages felt insulted by Klaus' words, but he didn't speak up. Klaus was too strong. If he were to fight against him alone, he was certain he wouldn't be able to break through Klaus' defense, much less being able to cause any harm to him.

However, he found Klaus' grin hateful, and for some reason, he wanted to kill Klaus. Well, the reason is clear, while they were battling earlier on, Klaus made bad comments about his ancestors, something he could never take.

"Don't think too highly of yourself, boy. If the masters join in, you'll be toast." The man in the Eighth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane snorted coldly.

"I'll beat them to a pulp and make them lie naked while pleading for their worthless dogshit lives." Klaus gave an evil smile after saying this, he took a glance at the six that were behind them.

'I wonder how we'll fare against them…' He thought they were strong enough to fight these people one on one, but with all six joining hands, it would be very difficult for them to win with ease.

Of the six at the back, three took a step forward.

Boom!

They retreated hastily. The attack struck where they placed their legs. If not for the fact that they were fast, they would've been hit by it.

"Who's there?" One of the men at the Peak asked.

"Just someone who isn't willing to let you guys interfere in the battle. As long as you hold your hand, I won't attack."

Grey's voice came from the void. The fear of the unknown is something that even top powerhouses have. Grey was able to attack without making a sound. They weren't able to sense his general location when he attacked just now which meant he was well hidden from them.

"Don't try to act mysterious, I know you're the one who disappeared when he came." The man with blonde hair said.

"We'll kill you and the three before us. Since you don't want to show yourself, we will kill them and see what you can do about it." The man with a cold expression said.
