Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1391 Klaus’ Opportunity

Chapter 1391 Klaus' Opportunity

***Reload The Previous Chapter, it has been fixed.***
Grey was about to walk away when he noticed Flint was walking out of the platform, "Still want to go?"
Flint shook his head and a wry smile appeared on his face, Grey saw his legs about to give way and quickly understood what was happening. Being forced to receive continuous attacks from Grey, Flint's body was on the verge of breaking down. Had he not accepted defeat, he would've done more damage to himself that would take a long time to fix.
Grey disappeared, taking Flint along with him. Flint had a certain pride, and Grey didn't want to be the one to squash it. He had already defeated him, but he liked how Flint finally realized there was no point in fighting and gave up, hence his current attitude towards him.
The Old man was about to react, but he sensed that Grey only took Flint to an area where no one else was present.
The middle-aged man also sensed this, but he had something else on his mind. He appeared on the platform and took a look at the young lady, before giving her a knowing smile.
The young lady, as if already knowing what the middle-aged man wanted stepped on the platform and looked straight at Klaus.
"You're my opponent." She declared.
Klaus, who was seated was stupefied when he heard this, "What? Who told you I'm willing to fight with you?"
"Your friend already showed what he has in store, wouldn't you want to do the same?" The young lady asked.
Klaus thought about it, and given the fact that Grey would steal all the shine if he didn't fight, he couldn't help but nod his head, "You're right, I should also try out my strength."
The young lady sighed when she saw that Klaus was willing to fight with her. As much as she was curious about his strength, she also knew that there was no way she would be able to beat him. She was not as deluded as Flint who would self-hypnotize himself into believing no one was superior to him. She knew how the world works and knew that there would always be someone stronger.
Well… in the case of Grey, she didn't know if that would be possible.
Grey stood with a calm and collected expression, his hands on his back as he looked at the young lady, "May I know your name?"
The young lady was taken aback, but she replied, "Aries."
"Nice name." Klaus complimented, "Well, I'm Klaus. Don't forget the name of the man who's going to make you famous just by being defeated by him."
Hearing Klaus, Aries realized Flint was not on the same level as Klaus when it came to self-hypnosis. Klaus was on a level of his own when it came to this.
It was genuinely shocking that someone as powerful as Klaus had such a habit.
Klaus, naturally, didn't know anything about what she was thinking about. His main priority was defeating her in style. He felt he would be able to show an even more dominant style compared to Grey.
He saw the battle and knew Grey held back to a certain extent. It had to do with Flint breaking through, but it was still a little sad that he didn't show off some of his strength. Klaus wasn't going to do the same.
Well, this depends on if Aries made the same breakthrough as Flint. If she makes the breakthrough, then he would let her advance, if not, he would beat her up.
The battle started and Aries attacked with the fire element. She was a Fire Elementalist, one of the best in the present day Phoenix Faction, among those in the younger generation.
Klaus, a Water Elementalist, was fighting a Fire Elementalist who was close to an active volcano that would increase all her attributes, yet he showed no fear.
He stood against her valiantly and blocked all the attacks she sent his way. His ice was impenetrable, no matter how much Aries attacks, she isn't able to break through it.
It was one thing when you're fighting against someone, it's another when you can't even break through their defenses. As long as Klaus doesn't make a move, she will never be able to win or even break through his defense. After her first three attacks, she knew there was no way she could break his defense.
Klaus, seeing that everyone was speaking about his lack of attacks, he decided to spice up the battle.
The entire arena started to freeze up as his domain came into play. Snow started to fall and with each one that touched Aries, she felt her body showing signs of freezing.
"Such intense cold… how is this possible?" The middle-aged man was stunned beyond words.
Klaus being able to use such an intense amount of cold was frightening. This shouldn't be possible for someone of Klaus' level.
"A grade nine expert, just how terrifying are they?" He asked himself.
The Firelord was known as a grade nine expert who roamed the world. His strength knew no bounds. He traveled to multiple places and his name shook the world.
With Grey and his friends being grade nine experts, will they have the same fate as the once famous Firelord?
The middle-aged man had a lot of questions, but there was no answer. These guys were shockingly powerful for their age, and there was still more hidden potential to be unlocked.
Aries called upon her fire domain as well. She knew against Klaus' ice domain, she would most likely turn into ice before she could even try to do anything.
Ice shards appeared in the sky and attacked Aries.
Aries used her fire element in a bid to block the attack, but she found out to her shock that the ice shards were not melting, even under her blazing hot flames. She couldn't melt the ice.
She found it strange, but continued attacking. After a while, she noticed the platform turn wet, and curiously looked below.
When she saw it, her heart tensed up. Klaus was turning the platform into the perfect ground for him to fight.
And just as she feared, the water on the platform started to show its use.
Klaus used the water to attack her, while also using ice attacks.
She decided to fly up since there was no way she could withstand the double attack.
Klaus went after her, attacking continuously in a calm manner. The difference in strength, just like in Grey and Flint's case was evident for all to see, Aries was on the losing end in this battle, and it was only a matter of time before she was defeated.
Aries was finally forced down after a snow storm pushed her down. The entire platform was shrouded with the storm, and when it died down, Aries was held up by ice, as her body from her chest down had been frozen, a large ice spear floated above her head, and Klaus could be seen sitting on the other side of the platform with a peaceful expression.
Other than those above the Venerable Plane, the others didn't see what transpired inside the snow storm.
The middle-aged man looked at Klaus, and then he looked at the Old man.
"Did you see that?" He asked.
The Old man nodded, his eyes almost closed, "These kids are all unique. How is his water and ice so different from that of a regular Water Elementalist?"
"Do you think the other two will have any special treats for us? The first two has already blown us away." The middle-aged man asked.
"There's no harm in trying. At least, we get to watch some entertainment." The Old man said.
The middle-aged man appeared on the platform and Klaus removed the ice holding Aries hostage.
"You did good." The middle-aged man said.
Aries nodded, she wasn't disappointed with her defeat, she already knew what awaited her. But to be honest, she did find the experience worth it. Now she understood why Flint was able to level up during the battle. These guys were just too strong.
Klaus smiled at her and turned to leave the platform.
The middle-aged man spoke up, "Since we've started out this way, why don't others come forward and challenge these young champions?"
A Peak Venerable jumped out almost immediately and pointed straight at Alice.
Alice was in the Eighth stage of the Venerable Plane, so it might be a little odd that someone at the Peak challenged her, but she still stood up and walked to the platform. She would never back down from a fight like this. Besides, she had seen Grey and Klaus show their strength, she wanted to see how well she would do.
On the side, Klaus and Reynolds started talking.
"Do you think they're testing us?" Klaus placed his hand on his chin.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"It is, I'm just curious as to why. We didn't offend them. It's okay if that guy tried to fight us, but these people, something isn't adding up."
