Affinity: Chaos Chapter 778 Tough Physical Battle

Chapter 778 Tough Physical Battle

Grey's figure moved slowly, even after trying to open up a space tunnel, he sensed that the second the space tunnel opened up, it collapsed immediately.
If he had gone into it, he would have been in great danger. This shocked him greatly. The space element had been one of his most trusted methods of escaping, but these people had been able to counter him without giving him the chance to escape.
This was one of the dangers of fighting against people he knew nothing about.
'Void, try not to enter this place. They have a way of locking down the space, and it's not pretty.' He advised Void who was rushing over.
'Got it.' Void's reply echoed in his head.
Grey started to use his elements to boost his physical strength before rushing in one direction. His plan was to attack one of the men, this would surely be able to put them off.
The men realized this in time and retreated along with Grey's movements. Even though they found the fact that Grey could still move to be very baffling, they didn't let it stop their coordinated attack.
Grey dodged the attacks they sent his way as he moved around. This force field was a great way to train his physical body, unfortunately, he didn't have it.
He soon managed to get close to one of the men, and he threw a punch in his direction. The man blocked the punch by crossing both arms in front of him.
For the first time since Grey was fighting, someone he attacked with his physical strength didn't even flinch.
"Huh?" He was taken aback by it. He naturally expected the man to at least move back a little.
"My turn." The man said with a smile as he threw a punch in Grey's direction.
Grey naturally wouldn't sit still and watch this man's blow connect with him. He evaded the blow, before dishing out one of his own. Before he knew it, he was entangled in a fist fight against the man.
Bang! Boom! Bam!
The speed of their punches were quick and accurate, making sure to deliver a powerful blow to the opponent. This was Grey's first time engaging in this since breaking through to the Arcane Plane. And to be honest, he found it extremely thrilling, to say the least.
A fist fight was miles apart from a regular elemental battle. This gave him more room to show his physical strength, while also training it as well.
The man was stunned by the fact that Grey was able to keep up with his speed.
"Fascinating, I didn't know there were people like this in this world." One of the other three men commented.
The other men nodded, astounded by Grey's performance so far.
Grey and the man continued fighting. Void was already in the area, but Grey told him to hide his presence since he still didn't know what they were dealing with.
There might be more of these people, and it would be best if they knew that he was the only one here. This way, in times of danger, he would be able to escape without too much of a hassle. Void agreed with his plan and stayed hidden, watching the battle closely.
Grey didn't let his opponent get the upper hand as he fought fiercely.
Bang!
Grey's figure was forced back by a punch from the man. After sliding on his feet for a few meters, he stopped and looked at the man.
The man had barely broken a sweat, but Grey was already starting to pant, albeit very slowly.
'Hmm.' His eyes were sharp. While fighting with the man, he could sense a strange vibration coming from the man's body. If not for the help of his multiple elements, he knew he would've been defeated long ago.
"Your strength is commendable, but you're still not on my level." The man said.
"Oh, I was only getting warmed up." Grey replied in an indifferent tone.
The man looked at Grey, before saying, "If so, I would like to see your true strength."
Grey didn't say anything as he tried to keep his figure standing. The pressure from the force field started increasing the second he started to fight. He could feel his physical body was growing stronger by the moment, but he knew he couldn't keep up with this for long. The force field will eventually get to a stage where his elements wouldn't be able to help him.
In respect to the man's words, he laughed on the inside. Who was he kidding? He had shown his full physical strength, but this man was obviously stronger than him. And from what he could tell, the man hasn't gone all-out yet.
The man took the initiative to attack this time, and the rest of the formation moved with him as he attacked.
Grey struggled to defend against the continuous attacks of the man. He could barely keep up with the increased speed and strength of the man. As time went on, he slowly started to receive punches on his body.
His figure was sent flying, but the force field ensured that he didn't go airborne.
Grey's face crashed into the ground before bouncing off.
'Damn! That must've hurt.' Void thought as he watched Grey's figure bouncing on the ground, before finally coming to a stop some few meters away.
Grey stood up and looked at his body, he could already feel the pains from the blows that hit him, and bruises were all over his body.
'This guy is ruthless.' He spat out a bit of blood before wiping his mouth.
'Void, disrupt the formation.' Grey said.
Now, he couldn't care about the others. As long as he could leave this formation, he would be able to deal with the people that would come. But for now, the most important thing was leaving this godforsaken formation.
The formation made it hard for him to use his elements outside of his body. This meant that he could only fight with his physical body at this moment. He had tried using elemental attacks a few times, but he had failed to even produce a spark.
The only thing he didn't try was his domain. He was sure it would work, but he wanted to keep it hidden for now.
