Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 344 - Officially Hate Plants!

Reynolds kicked the back of the horse, using the force to propel himself towards Grey's horse.

Grey stretched out his hand to catch Reynolds who was mid-air, pulling him onto his horse.

With a swipe of his hand, he sent a fire blade at the vine that was wrapping around Reynolds' horse. Even without being told, he naturally knew plants were weak against the fire element.

"Thanks," Reynolds said after sitting behind Grey.

"It's nothing," Grey said while squinting his eyes, looking around.

He suddenly noticed something, in the left-wing where they were, they were the only ones the vines attacked. When he looked around, the other people were vine-free.

He shifted his gaze to the man who was stationed there.

'Hmm, could it be an accident, or did he purposely let them in?' He asked himself.

He couldn't figure out the answer, so he kept the matter at the back of his head, for now.

Reynolds returned to his horse after Grey exterminated all the vines in the area. Without being told, he moved closer to Grey, with their horses almost touching each other.

As the group continued the journey, the Fire Elementalists were constantly destroying the vines, as well as the flower-like creature.

After the first wave of attacks where the vines were able to snatch some people, the Fire Elementalists managed to completely hold them back.

The plants retreated whenever they sensed the heat from the fire element.

Grey studied the plants curiously from his horse, trying to figure out how they actually came to be. According to what he read, it would take hundreds of years, and staying in a place with a high concentration of essence before these plants could gain sentience.

At this stage, their intelligence isn't really that high. But once they break through to the Overlord Plane, their intelligence would see an increase, taking it to that of a human's.

These plants grow stronger by consuming humans, as well as magical beasts.

While Grey was looking around, he saw an unlucky boar that was caught by a vine. After catching the boar, the vine quickly moved towards the head of the plant. It opened its huge mouth, swallowing the boar in a single gulp.

Grey had also witnessed this happen to the few people and horses who were caught by the vines during the first attack.

"Huh!" Grey suddenly felt all his hairs standing on edge.

'Danger!'

Without trying to see what the danger was, he hastily jumped up, using the wind element to support himself mid-air.

After leaping to almost ten meters off the ground, he suddenly felt something on his right leg. He looked down, only to see a vine tightly wrapped around his ankle.

'Crap!'

Bam!

Before he could react, the vine tugged at him forcefully, slamming him into the ground.

"Grey!" Reynolds immediately moved when he saw Grey being slammed into the ground.

But to his surprise, he suddenly felt a tug on his waist, before he could do anything, he was dragged from his horse, slamming into the ground.

Buzz!

Lightning danced around his body as he struggled to escape from the vine that was wrapping around him.

He sent an attack at the vine, but to his surprise, the vine seemed to be resistant to the lightning element.

'What? How?' He asked as the vine hastily dragged him out of the formation they were in.

The Fire Elementalist standing guard did nothing to stop the vines from dragging both Reynolds and Grey who was a bit rocked after he slammed into the ground.

After Grey was slammed into the ground, he could barely see anything, and just after he slammed into the ground, the vine dragged him and Reynolds out of the formation.

Grey soon came back to his senses after being dragged out of the formation.

Boom!

Raging flames engulfed him, burning the vines that were wrapped around him.

He stood up, preparing to run back to the formation, but his expression changed when he couldn't see Reynolds on his horse.

He turned around only to see Reynolds struggling with lightning around him, trying to break free from the grasp of the vines.

Grey infused his body with the wind element, dashing straight at the vine that was holding onto Reynolds. He didn't even think about holding back.

Boom!

He unleashed a ferocious blue tiger-looking flame that shot towards the main plant.

While he was running towards Grey, multiple vines tried to stop him from advancing, but they were all cut down by the fire blade he held in his hand.

He soon got to the vine holding onto Reynolds. After he attacked the main plant, the movement of the vines became relatively slower.

By the time he got there, Reynolds had already managed to struggle free from the vine's clutches.

"Fuck this! I officially hate plants!" Reynolds cursed as soon as he managed to break free.

Grey grabbed onto him, dragging him as he hurried back to the formation.

As they got closer to the formation, Grey saw the look of astonishment in the eyes of the Fire Elementalist who was supposed to be protecting them.

"Blue flames," The Fire Elementalist muttered.

Grey and Reynolds were the only people who had managed to escape back into the formation after being dragged out from it.

There were a few people who were surprised by Grey's performance. One of them was undoubtedly the Fire Elementalist amongst the triplets.

Seeing Grey's rare blue flames for some reason increased the hatred he had towards him.

The couples who intervened back at the guild were also very surprised by Grey's performance. The man among the duo was already on the verge of running out of the formation when he saw both Grey and Reynolds being taken by the vines, but after seeing how Grey easily took care of the situation, he halted.

After stopping, he sent a warning gaze towards the Fire Elementalist that was stationed there.

When the vines first attacked Grey and Reynolds, he took note of the area, and he had noticed that Grey and Reynolds were the only two who were attacked.

He knew this wasn't an accident, the Fire Elementalist let the vines in on purpose.
