AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 362: I Tried



Chapter 362: I Tried

“I knew you were the one coming,” Grey turned to look at Lukka.

“Watch out!” Lukka raised his left hand, a bolt of lightning shooting out of it.

Grey smiled, before quickly evading the attack that was coming from behind him.

?

Boom!

Lukka’s lightning bolt struck the lightning arrow that was meant for Grey’s head.

“Trying to sneak attack me won’t work,” Grey’s appeared on another tree before saying.

“Hmph! I’ll get you one way or another,” The Lightning Elementalist snorted coldly.

“I didn’t think you’d get to this level where you would sneak attack a kid,” Lukka said while looking around the forest, trying to figure out the Lightning Elementalist’s position.

“Once the kid dies, you’re next,” The Lightning Elementalist said confidently.

“Bold of you to assume you can kill me,” Grey said while twirling his right index finger in the air.

“Heh, if not for the fear of this guy aiding you, I’d have come out long ago to kill you,” The Lightning Elementalist scoffed.

“Okay, how about this, we should make a bet. As long as you come out on your own, he’ll promise not to intervene in the fight. That way, you could fight against him when you’re done killing me. How does that sound?” Grey asked, still twirling his finger.

“Do I look like a child you could trick with a few words? I’ve been a mercenary for years now, I know more than believing an enemy,” The Lightning Elementalist said, not believing Grey’s words one bit.

“Well, I tried,” Grey said with a shrug.

“What do you mean you tried?” The Lightning Elementalist asked, a little confused.

Even Lukka looked at Grey with a strange expression.

“I mean, I tried giving you an opportunity to at least give you a fair fight, but guess you were too foolish to take it,” Grey said with a strange smile while tilting his head to his left.

He looked right through the trees as if he could peer through them. Around eighty meters away from where he was standing, the Lightning Elementalist could be seen looking at them.

“Im… impossible! How did you find me?” The Lightning Elementalist was stunned by the fact that Grey had managed to locate him.

This was something even Lukka couldn’t do, and Lukka was stronger than himself.

“Haha, it’s simple. But you see, I don’t like divulging my secrets to dead people, it’s just of no use to them,” Grey laughed out loud.

“You little brat! I’ll kill you even if it’s the last thing I do!” The Lightning Elementalist said, before sending out multiple lightning arrows in Grey and Lukka’s direction.

They were forced to dodge the attacks of the Lightning Elementalist, but they made sure to follow his movements because he tried slipping away again. This was exactly how he escaped from Lukka’s hand the last time, luckily, Grey managed to find him this time.

Lukka looked at Grey, feeling surprised by his prowess. He thought about how Grey managed to find the Lightning Elementalist, it was then that he recalled when they were crossing the swamp.

At that time, Grey would occasionally place his finger in the swamp, and after doing that, he would get the general location of where the beasts were, and where they weren’t.

‘I see, no wonder he was twirling his hand while speaking, he was using that thing. Such a resourceful kid, he would do well as a mercenary,’ He praised Grey in his mind.

“You can’t hide anymore, old man. Stand there so you can join your brothers quickly,” Grey said before chasing after the Lightning Elementalist.

Lukka joined in on the chase as well, he couldn’t allow the Lightning Elementalist to escape for a second time.

Boom! Bang!

They attacked as they chased after him.

Being adept in movement techniques, the Lightning Elementalist managed to dodge most of their attacks while also dishing out some of his own.

Boom! Bam!

Their battle quickly moved deeper into the forest as the Lightning Elementalist tried to escape.

On the open field.

The people quickly noticed that Lukka had joined in on the battle. The leader of the expedition as well as his wife were able to figure out he was fighting against the Lightning Elementalist as soon as the battle intensified, but they didn’t know who was there as well.

“Do you think we should assist him?” Someone amongst the guild members asked.

“No need, Lukka will be alright,” The leader of the expedition said.

He couldn’t allow the others to go since there were some who were closely linked to the triplet. If not for the chaos at the time Lukka and his wife killed two of them, then some of the people here would have intervened.

But that was not the only reason though, the second reason was that just as the triplet had people who would support them, so did the couple. A brawl would definitely start if that happens, causing chaos between them. The guild might even end up breaking since some of them here were the old-timers of the guild.

The guild does have some people who are already in the Overlord Plane, but being in the Overlord Plane puts them above these petty skirmishes of those in the Origin Plane. They rarely involve themselves with what’s happening with the guild, they would only show themselves if anything were to threaten it.

Some of the people here dying wouldn’t really bring much harm to the guild since multiple mercenaries seek to join the guild on a daily basis.

The leader of the expedition looked in the direction for a few more minutes before speaking to the others.

“We should get going, Lukka knows the way,”

With his command, they started the journey back. Surprisingly, Lukka’s wife didn’t seem too bothered about her husband, she was just that confident in his abilities.

The guild’s group was not the only ones who stopped to look at where the explosion came from, all three groups stopped. But Lukka was the only one who showed any interest in going there.

The young man who Grey saw at the inn looked in the direction of the explosion, and just as their group was about to leave, he caught a small glimpse of a blue flame exploding.

‘It’s him!’
