Affinity: Chaos Chapter 93 - Reynolds Plight

In the northern part of the trial land...

A youth could be seen moving at a fast speed towards a tower.

'This place should have sothing good'

The youth thought excitedly as he increased his speed.

This youth is undoubtedly Reynolds. After separating from the group, he had gone through different places and could be said to have gained so rewards since he had already broken through to the Ninth stage of the Arcane Plane not too long ago.

He had gotten into different battles during this ti, but none of them got to the stage where both parties wanted the other dead. Now that he had ventured deeper into the trial land, the frequency of eting others had increased dramatically compared to the first two weeks, where they barely t others.

Entering into the first floor of the tower, he found nothing.

"Well, this place is already ransacked"

Turning around, he headed towards the second floor.

"Still nothing"

He moved and went to the third floor.

Finding nothing there also, he faced the stairs to the fourth floor, and then the fifth. It was only on the eighth floor did he find sothing, and his eyes lit upon seeing it.

"An elental weapon!"

He exclaid before running towards it.

Picking up the old-looking spear, he carefully examined it.

"It looks broken, but not completely destroyed. It should still be able to be used for so ti before it becos useless"

"Sadly, it's a water elental weapon. Guess I'll keep it for Klaus"

He searched for sothing he'll use to strap it to his back since it was too long to fit into his bag. The disadvantage of this though was that everyone would be able to see the weapon, and the greedy ones will attack him so they could acquire it. But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't hold the spear constantly since it will impede his movents. And even holding it was no different from this due to its length.

Searching the other floors, he didn't find anything good. He left the tower and headed for another one he saw while he was at the top of the tower.

On his way, he encountered a youth.

Seeing the spear on his back, the youth imdiately attacked him.

'I know keeping this with will attract trouble, but I can't leave it behind since I don't know if I can find another weapon, or even if Klaus could'

With this in his mind, he also attacked.

There were no greetings or words. Both parties engaged in a battle imdiately.

After three minutes of fighting, Reynolds held the upper hand. Although not completely. There might still be a chance for his opponent to turn the tide, so the youth refused to stop the battle.

But after another two minutes, Reynolds started completely suppressing him. Without seeing any hope of being able to gain the upper hand, the youth escaped quickly.

Reynolds on the other hand abstained from chasing him. He knew having the spear was like setting a target on himself, it would be best if he didn't co across any more people as most of them are likely to attack him.

.........

Two hours later...

"F.u.c.k! This is bad"

A youth with a bloodied arm said as he looked at the people coming his way.

"How am I this unlucky? Those bastards from the Starlight Academy, I'll make them pay"

The youth said through gritted teeth.

This youth was Reynolds who was heading towards the second tower. He accidentally ca across a group of people from when he was about to get into the second tower.

The spear on his back imdiately attracted their attention, and they surrounded him and told him to give it to them, which he promptly refused. After struggling with the trio for so ti, he was defeated. After they acquired the spear, they still didn't show any signs of retreating, but they also didn't show any signs of attacking.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard a youth saying he's from the Lunar Academy while pointing in his direction. The mont the others heard this statent, they imdiately turned cold and once again started attacking. From this, he figured they were all from the Starlight Academy.

Although he had already broken through to the Ninth stage of the Arcane Plane, he didn't have any advantage since all his opponents were in the Ninth stage also. If he were to fight them one on one, or even, one on two, he was confident in his abilities. But fighting against three always difficult, too difficult even, especially for an Elentalist with a single elent.

"Where do you think you're running to?"

One of the trios sneered while looking at him

"Hehehe, a worm from the Lunar Academy. Why don't you run your mouth anymore? Or, did the cat got your tongue?"

Another one said while laughing.

The others all burst into laughter when they heard this. They all felt a certain joy when they are beating up the people from the Lunar Academy. Due to the event where Blake charged over to their Academy and almost killed one of their instructors, they all developed a strong hatred towards the Lunar Academy, Chris smacking one of their instructors to death, increased their hatred to a terrifying rate.

Now all they wanted to do was kill any Lunar Academy student they find in the trial. This group had already killed one student during the second week they were in the trial land. Presently, they were about to add another student to the list.

"Don't worry, you wouldn't even know how you died. I'll make it as painless as possible"

The last of the trio said softly.

Being the girl among the group, one expected her to be the kindest in the group. But don't be fooled by her soft voice, deep inside is a terrifyingly wicked monster. Even the two boys are scared of her.

She enjoys torturing her enemies to the brink of madness. The first student they killed was actually personally killed by her. They watched her torture him for over six hours, they could still hear his horrified voice when he was pleading for death. The torture was so intense that the youth only pleaded for death and nothing more, he wanted to die, but she didn't allow it.

Only after torturing the student to her fill did she finally kill him. Yet the death wasn't fast in any way. First, she gouged out his eyes, cut off his tongue, before finally dismbering him.

'I can't die here, I still have a lot to do'

Reynolds scread in his heart.

He had tried battling them, but still to no avail. They were just too strong for only him to fight against, he tried everything he could, yet he still couldn't escape.

His bloodied hand is a result of his attempt to run which as you can see was futile.

'Starlight Academy, I'll personally destroy you if I survive this'

Reynolds thought hatefully.

He had always hated the Starlight Academy, but now, the hatred has increased by a hundred folds.

Death was in front of him, and he didn't know if he might be able to escape.

"I'll kill you people"

Reynolds spat hatefully.

"Haha, good. I'd like to see you try"

The girl giggled with her hands covering her mouth.

They once again started fighting with Reynolds getting hit most of the ti. If not for his movent technique, he would have already been dead. The lightning elent was known not just for its destructive power, but also for its insane speed.

This speed had allowed Reynolds to hold on for this long, but he was already starting to tire. Once again he tried to flee the trio but was soon caught due to his tiredness.

"These hateful bunch"

Reynolds was infuriated.

Currently, they had been chasing and attacking him for over five hours. It was like he was a ga to them. He was already injured in multiple places, and the prolonged running and fighting were already starting to take their toll. Not to ntion his injuries as well.

"Running is futile, you stand there humbly like the dog you are and stretch out your neck"

One of the boys said while grinning evilly.

They were now in a compound and there was no place for Reynolds to run to any longer.

Reynolds looked at them with madness visible in his eyes. His eyes had already turned bloodshot from the anger boiling inside him. But being unable to unleash that anger seed to make matters worse.

He was grinding his teeth so hard that blood was already dripping from his mouth.

"Be careful boys, even a cornered rabbit will fight back"

The girl said laughing.

The others also burst into laughter. They knew she was only mocking Reynolds.

"Arghh"

Reynolds roared in madness.

"I'll kill you all"

He yelled out loud.

"Hehe, if you can survive, that is"

The boys said while laughing.

They once again resud their attacks on him.
