Affinity:Chaos

"Stop," The old man said calmly with hands behind his back.

The flaming snake that was rushing towards the old man stopped a few inches away from him.

The fiery-looking man who attacked took a step back in horror. What the old man just showcased was an ability only those in the Overlord Plane could have.

"You…" He tried to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

The others in the group stared at the old man and the flaming snake which was floating docilely in front of him.

"The thing about people is that they tend to do desperate things when in difficult situations. Struggling is futile, you all should submit calmly and your deaths will be peaceful," The old man stroked the flaming snake.

With a simple wave of his hand, the snake turned around, the fire intensifying as it charged towards the fiery man who created it.

The speed and power of the attack were more than five times stronger than when the fiery-looking man used it to attack. It was almost like it wasn't the same attack.

The fiery man hastily retreated, while setting up a series of defenses to counter the flaming snake that was coming towards him.

A huge fire wall rose up in front of him, while he created a second fire snake, hoping to use it to stop the first one the old man took control of.

Boom!

The fire snake that was controlled by the old man slammed into the fire wall, causing a large explosion. The second fire snake also charged into the explosion, trying to stop the first one.

The energy caused by the explosion caused waves to appear on the lava pool around the temple. The others in the group retreated, not to be caught by the force of the attack.

When the lava pool was disturbed by the force, if any of them looked at the lava under the entrance to the cave, they would see a blue fire orb around the two meters big. The figure of a person could be seen from inside the orb. Although it only appeared once, it was soon covered by the lava again, disappearing from view.

Neither the group nor the old man caught sight of this since none of them expected there would be something like that there.

….

Grey, who was hiding in the fire orb couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his head.

'Luckily I reacted quickly, or else I would've been toast. This old man is clearly a very powerful Overlord Plane expert, I don't care what he's doing, neither do I want to stay here any longer.' He thought inside, worriedly.

He was tempted by the floating origin bead, but he didn't dare to go out. If someone in the Origin Plane could sense him, there's a chance this old man could as well. Not just that, the main reason he wasn't showing too much interest in the bead was that he felt it was contaminated due to the amount of blood it had absorbed.

Although he absorbed the lightning orb from below the lightning tree which was basically the same thing as this one. The intensity of blood in this one was far stronger, and he could even sense a feeling of bloodlust from it. There's a chance that this thing might change him, so he wasn't willing to take that chance.

Grey watched the battle as it went on, he couldn't care less what happened to the group. He had already prepared himself to enter the Fusion State, so when he sees things have gotten out of hand, he would immediately enter the Fusion State and flee as far as he possibly could.

Of course running away from a powerful Overlord Plane expert was not going to be easy, the space element would help him greatly in that aspect.

….

Back at the temple.

The fiery-looking man smirked when he noticed the attack of the old man didn't seem to be going through, but his expression soon changed when he noticed an even stronger fire building up.

"I don't know if to call you smart or dumb, even after knowing I can easily take control of your attack, you still use it so confidently. Haha, let's see how you'll defend against this attack after you've fueled it to be even stronger," The old man laughed while shaking his head.

"What are you people standing there for? Are you just going to watch him kill me?!" The fiery man called out to the others.

He was a hundred percent sure he couldn't block the current attack the old man sent towards him. And once he's dead, the old man would obviously go after the others.

"Ah!..."

An extended scream which was filled with pain and horror rang out.

The old man smiled and turned to look at the bead, a man could be seen in flames, he was trying to hold onto the bead, but the intensity of the flames consumed him.

Boom! Bang!

While the others were distracted by the man who was being consumed by the flames, an explosion followed by a shriek of pain.

"Ah!"

The others turned around, and the fiery man had been consumed by his flames.

Of the group of eight, three of them were already dead within a short span of time, yet the old man was perfectly fine.

"Hehe, another one down," The old man laughed.

"Kill him," One of the ladies immediately attacked.

Compared to the fiery man, she was not a Fire Elementalist, so there was no way the old man could take control over her attacks.

The others attacked as well, except for the last Fire Elementalist. Since attacking was no different from empowering the old man, there was no use. He turned around and fled towards the entrance of the cave.

"You four should kill him!" He yelled after getting to the entrance.

"Heh! You think you can escape?" The old man smirked.

Boom!

"Ah!"

A lava pool shot out from the ground, covering the man who just landed on the ground at the entrance of the cave.
