Affinity: Chaos Chapter 766 Klaus’ Mind Games

Chapter 766 Klaus' Mind Games

When the group got to the arena, they sat in their seats with serious expressions. Those around them also noticed the difference in Klaus' aura and realized he broke through the previous night.
Some felt he forced the breakthrough when he saw the people he would be fighting against. Others who had taken note of him for a while now knew he was holding himself back from breaking through all this while, so he only did it when he knew he needed the strength.
This was a good thing for him since his opponent would come with the mindset of him still being in the same stage as before, only to be shocked once they saw him.
The top Factions arrived earlier than usual. Today was the last day of the competition, so they wanted to ensure all the battles took place soon since they wanted to head back to their Factions with their new members.
The man in charge called for Klaus and the two others who would be taking part in the three-way battle.
Klaus took in a deep breath before walking in the direction of the platform. He didn't say a word even when his friends were wishing him luck, his eyes were focused solely on the platform. This was a battle he wanted to win.
His movement was slow but steady. In no time, he arrived on the platform. He stood straight while facing where his opponents were coming from.
The man in charge saw the difference in Klaus and nodded his head in approval. He was the same person who was in charge of Klaus' battle when he said he should be given a minute. He noticed Klaus wanted to break through then but refrained from doing so. Now he knew Klaus was keeping it from the right time.
Klaus' opponents soon appeared on the platform, both staring at him with terrifying gazes.
Both of them were in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane, and one of them was a Dual Elementalist who had the wind and the fire element.
The other person was an Earth Elementalist. From their elements, Klaus had already predicted how their battle plan would be, the Dual Elementalist would be the main figure attacking, while the Earth Elementalist would act as support.
The man confirmed from the trio if they were ready before calling for the start of the battle.
Just as the battle started, Klaus tried to see if he could play some mind tricks.
"Are you two really going to team up against me?" He asked with a blank face.
The duo didn't reply to him as they moved closer to him.
"I know you're geniuses, but you two have got to be the most gutless geniuses I've ever seen. How can two Ninth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist team up against a newly ascended Eighth stage Overlord Plane Elementalists and still call themselves geniuses?" Klaus asked with a smile, he could see the change in the expression of the duo when he said this word.
"Pathetic, even a pig will have more decency than you two. Even if I were to lose against the two of you, I'd still not take you people as geniuses, because deep down, you're nothing more than a gutless swine who would need to team up just to fight against those who are a stage or two below you." Klaus continued talking to them.
His words seemed to be hitting the duo since there was a visible change in their countenance. Even their movements stopped, it was clear that they were thinking about what Klaus was saying.
"Do you think everyone here would take you two as a genius if you team up to defeat me? The answer is a resounding No!" Klaus stood in the same position as he spoke, "You would be looked down on in the Factions you joined. Even those at a lower Plane will feel you two are nothing by trash."
"Do you want people to call you trash?" Klaus asked the duo.
"No." They answered in unison.
They were geniuses, so it was normal that they were prideful. Before the battle, they also felt it was beneath them to team up against someone they felt was weaker. But they didn't want to let Klaus win, so they felt it was what was necessary.
However, Klaus' words had shaken their resolve. Even if they still managed to try to team up, they wouldn't be at their peak since their minds were shaken.
The Elders from the top Factions stared at Klaus in awe. They couldn't help but commend his brains. He knew his chances of winning against the duo were slim, so he tried to shake their will or even break them up. This was a terrific strategy that would definitely help him out in the battle.
His opponents wouldn't want to be looked down upon and called trash by those in the Factions they wished to enter. Of the duo, only one of them was successful in his attempt to challenge someone from the Faction he wanted, the other one was unsuccessful.
He had managed to get to this point, now Klaus was telling him even if he won, he wouldn't be able to amount to much since everyone would take him for a gutless genius.
Grey smiled when he saw the change on the platform.
"He's a genius, you have to give him credit for that." He said with a light laugh.
? ?? ??-??? ??, ??? "No, he's evil." Reynolds said.
He could already see that those morons would want to fight against Klaus alone and he didn't want that. He wanted Klaus to be beaten up a little, how would he be able to laugh at him now?
Kyle looked at Klaus and he felt a chill down his spine. Klaus was a calculative and horrifying opponent. He was using the pride of these geniuses against them. What was worse was that given the number of people here, they wouldn't want to be looked down on.
Most of the people in the crowd were already discussing the issue and the duo could hear them properly.
'Hehe, now, what will you do?' Klaus sneered internally.
