Affinity:Chaos Chapter 611

Chapter 611 - He’s One Of Us!

“Hmm, okay,” The Principal nodded.

He still hasn’t been able to get the actual strength of the corpses since they haven’t made any moves yet.

“Stay here, I’ll try to see the extent of their strength. If you see things get difficult for me, run,” The Principal said before going forward.

The others understood what he meant, so they didn’t try to follow him, rather, they even took a few steps back.

Lightning could be seen moving across the Principal’s body, with a flash, he suddenly disappeared, appearing in the middle of the corpses.

The moment he appeared, he attacked, sending out a powerful bolt of lightning that went in all directions.

The impact of the attack forced the corpses back, but three of them only retreated five steps back before keeping their balance once again.

They raised their heads to look at the Principal, and their blank eyes suddenly showed with brilliance. Each corpses’ eyes glowed with a different color which represented their elements.

One of them was red, the other blue, while the last was green.

Swoosh!

A wind storm suddenly rose up from nowhere, trying to throw the Principal into the air.

‘Three Sage Plane Elementalists, but they’re weaker than I am individually. Five Peak Overlord Plane Elementalists that are still weaker than your average Overlord Plane Elementalist. Blake is the only one close to the Peak of the Overlord Plane, the others wouldn’t be able to keep up with four on their own,’ The Principal accessed their current situation as he kept himself still on the ground, not allowing the wind to take him up.

He could barely fight against the three Sage Plane corpses on his own, but other than Blake, there was no one else close to the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Delia was still in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane being in the Sixth stage.

If she and the others teamed up, they would be able to hold out against two at most. The remaining two would be able to cause them a serious problem.

Buzz!

The Principal covered himself with lightning before disappearing from sight. He appeared in front of the group within a second, and he quickly told them his assessment of the situation.

“I’ll hold all of them back, you guys should run. I have a good chance of escaping if I’m alone,” He said.

The others nodded, this was their only option anyway.

Buzz! Bang!

The Principal attacked, but the attack was blocked by a fire attack from one of the corpses that was a Fire Elementalist.

The other two at the Sage Plane also attacked as well, blocking the escape route of the group.

The five corpses at the Overlord Plane also came into the fray, attacking the group.

The Principal did his best to protect the others. Instructor Blake didn’t stay idle, attacking one of the corpses at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Reynolds summoned his Elemental Warrior and attacked one of them as well, Klaus quickly went forward to help him out.

Instructor Delia and Alice took on one of the corpses, but they were at a significant disadvantage since Alice was in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane, still in the Second stage.

Grey looked at the situation, and there were two Peak Overlord Plane corpses left.

‘Guess it’s time to test my experiments so far,’ He thought to himself.

When he encountered that young necromancer at the ruins, he collected one of his corpses. He had been studying it for some time now, and although he hadn’t really gotten a lot from it, there was a way he could make them dysfunctional for a few seconds or even a minute.

Void was on his way back, and he could take care of them when he got there. All he had to do was to stall them for a few minutes.

He could already sense Void.

After taking a deep breath, he took a step forward, and black tendrils started to spread from his feet, going towards the corpses.

When they got close, they latched onto the two that wanted to attack him, and the moment they touched them, the corpses shrieked loudly as if in pain.

Grey also stopped immediately before holding onto his head. He felt a slight headache from what just happened.

He turned to look at the west, ‘Void, there’s someone…’

He gave Void the exact location of the person he just sensed when he tried to mess up with the control of the corpse.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be able to get the location of the person controlling the corpse if he did it. When he was trying the experiment, he was only working with an ownerless corpse.

All he did was mess with the black strings he found inside the corpse.

….

Somewhere outside the town.

“What just happened?” A shrill voice muttered.

A cloaked figure could be seen hiding in the trees.

“What?” Another cloaked figure asked.

“Someone just used the corpse puppet to find my location,” The first cloaked figure explained.

“A necromancer?” The other one asked.

“No, it’s a young boy. I can sense something strange about him. He not only used it to find my whereabouts, but he also cut off my connection with them,” The cloaked figure said.

“He must be one of us. There’s no way someone can just know how to cut off connections from puppets without going through proper training,” The other figure said.

“I believe so too, we should go closer before they destroy my tools. It took me years to groom them to their current state, and I can’t afford to lose them,” The cloaked figure said.

The reason they hadn’t been able to sense the mark on Grey’s body was due to the distance. Since it could only be sensed from a one-kilometer radius, they didn’t know. They were around one and a half kilometers away from the town.

By the time they got within the one-kilometer radius, their expressions changed and they looked at each other.

“Can you sense it as well?” The first cloaked figure asked.

“Yes, but how come it’s so faint?” The other one asked.

******************* "Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... ***************
