Affinity:Chaos,1219 Fear Of The Unknown - Read free novels online

“What happened?” Someone in the Seventh stage asked in fear.

They didn’t see the end of the man who was sent flying, the figure just disappeared into the air like it was never there.

Even Grey looked on with an alarmed expression. He didn’t sense the use of the space element, so he was startled with what just happened.

“Whatever this thing is, it’s not using the space element. Nor can we see it. How can we fight it then?” Someone in the Ninth stage asked with a serious expression.

They were still celebrating the fact that none of them were injured or died during the battle a few minutes ago, but now, with just a single attack, one of them was dead. This was a dreadful feeling, the fear of the unknown is something that affects everyone, Grey and the golden robed man included.

“How do we fight it?” Another person asked, a bit panicky.

“Calm down, we should stay together. Create an energy wave around you so you would be able to sense whatever comes within it.” The golden robed man suggested.

Grey didn’t do that, rather, he used the gravitational force field. He covered the entire group of four who were below the Elemental Venerable Plane. His gravitational force field is far better than the energy these people were using. With it, as long as the entity comes close, it would be dragged down with the sudden change in the gravity in that area.

Grey calmed himself down and he looked around.

“Kikiki, you all are so funny. Do you think that can stop me?” The voice resounded in their ears once again, echoing from all angles.

Grey had a calm expression, even the golden robed man also put on a calm demeanor, he didn’t show any signs of panic. Other than three people who were panicking, the rest had calmed themselves down and were trying to make sure they were not caught off-guard.

Someone suddenly took a step back and attacked a particular area.

Bam!

The attack hit the thin air as there was nothing there for it.

The man looked at everyone and said, “I sensed something creeping into my space.”

The others nodded and didn’t say anything. They were all focused, making sure they wouldn’t be the ones attacked due to this distraction.

One of the young men from the Dawson Family took a step forward and attacked. This time, there was a counterattack. He was able to block the counterattack since he was prepared for it.

“Smart fellows. I’ll still pick you all off, one by one.” The voice said, it didn’t show any anger in its voice.

“Heh! You’re only so so, no wonder you’re hiding away. I can kill you in a one on one fight.” The young man snickered.

From the counterattack of the entity, it was clear for them to estimate its strength. Well, they can’t be too certain, however, it’s strength should be around the Eighth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. There’s also the possibility that it used that attack to trick them and it might be just as strong as the golden robed man. If that’s the case, then it would be able to take out the young man if it went all out.

Killing an Eighth stage Elemental Venerable as a Peak Elemental Venerable was very possible, even to one-shot them, but that all relies on if they could catch them unaware. A prepared Eighth stage Elemental Venerable would be able to fight back.

Only those in the Ninth stage have a slight chance of survival against a Peak Elemental Venerable. However, with so many people present, even killing a Seventh stage Elemental Venerable would be very difficult for even a Peak Elemental Venerable.

The group didn’t move from their current positions, they all stood in the same spot, waiting to attack whenever the entity came close to them.

Bang!

The sound of something hitting the ground resounded in the area and everyone turned to Grey’s position, they clearly saw the small dust that rose up after the figure hit the ground.

The figure never expected that there would be a gravitational force field around Grey, just when it was trying to get one of the four in the Sage Plane, it was hit by the sudden change in gravity and slammed into the ground.

Grey, and the golden robed man attacked that spot the moment they heard the sound. They attacked within a second after they heard the sound.

A painful shriek resounded in the air, but it soon faded away. The place regained its previous silence.

A few minutes passed with no one making a sound. The group didn’t take a step forward.

“There’s no way we can be sure.” The golden robed man said, “But we can’t keep standing here. Let’s continue. Keep your energy active, just to be extra safe.”

The group nodded and continued walking. The golden robed man walked closer to Grey, he was curious about what Grey used, and when he walked into the area, he felt his body going down on its own. He reacted quickly and left the area before taking a glance at Grey.

Grey was getting more and more mysterious. Of all the people present, Grey was the one who didn’t have a single idea of how strong he was. He couldn’t see through him, and that had him a little worried, but he didn’t have the thought of him being involved in anything here.

Since Grey protected his children, he didn’t mind. If not for Grey, the trio would’ve been dead before he could even react. Now he understood how dangerous it was to bring his children here.

They continued walking in the area, their pace very slow. They didn’t dare to move too fast lest they walked into more trouble.

The direction they were headed was towards the largest building in the place. There was no sunlight in this place, but it was still as bright as it is outside. If they didn’t know that they were in a cave, some wouldn’t know the difference.
