Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1654 Pride Comes Before The Fall

Chapter 1654  Pride Comes Before The Fall

Sirevius looked at the trio with cold eyes, some knew of the incident that happened a few years ago, but the person involved is so powerful that even if the Dragons can make him pay, the danger was too high. This is a person that could kill at least two people on the same level as himself, even two Dragons. One has to know that most Dragons will defeat humans in the same cultivation stage as themselves, but this human is one of the few exceptions, he can not only deal with one Dragon on the same level, it's proven that he can kill two actually. Although the human left in a respectful manner after, he still somewhat achieved his goal of coming here, which was against the wishes of the Dragon tribe. Unfortunately, he's strong, but that's not the main issue, the main issue was that he was crazy. A strong person can be reasoned with, a crazy person is unreasonable, much less when they're that strong too. In the end, the Dragons did something they usually don't do, they compromised. This has been a stain in the recent history of the Dragons, so when Sirevius heard it from a Bird, he was incensed. From what he knew, the news was contained within the Inner Court, how did it leak out? It's understandable if this was said by a Griffin or Phoenix, but a mere Bird was the height of disrespect.

The guard was about to attack when Sirevius stopped him once again, "I'm curious, where did you hear this baseless rumor?" "Remember that Elder from my tribe you want to kill?" The Bird asked. Sirevius nodded, and seeing the Bird's nod too, he knew that he was implying that he heard it from him. "Go bring him here." Sirevius said coldly. The trio looked at each other in fear and said, "Your Highness, what about the human?" "You still dare to speak of a human at this point?" Sirevius was starting to lose his temper. How could a proud Dragon such as himself allow a human to sully their name like this?

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. But there's a chance that we might not be able to come back if he captures us." The Bird said, signs of fear in his voice. "I'll give you a fate worse than death if you delay any longer." Sirevius wasn't in the mood to entertain these words. "You know what, since I wanted to kill him anyway, let's all head there." Sirevius said. "Young Lord, I'm afraid that isn't a good idea. If this person truly is out there, leaving the Inner Court will only put you in danger." The guard spoke up. "I have you. If I get killed, just end your own life for your incompetence." Sirevius didn't care about the opinion of his guard. He wanted to visit the Bird tribe to a.s.sert his dominance, however, he was scared for his life, so he not only wanted to go there with his guard, but the three Birds as well. In times of danger, he would throw the trio at the danger and then use the opportunity to escape. With the help of his guard, he is certain that he could escape from a Peak human Sovereign. As long as he gets a second or two, he will be able to escape with the aid of a few life saving items he got from his father. His father was a powerhouse in the Late stages of the Eighth Rank. His father as well as his guard are the only two people in the Late stages of the Eighth Rank, and with his father's help, as well as his use of the s.p.a.ce element, he was certain he could escape. On the other side, Grey was beyond elated. He didn't know the pride of a Dragon would make them unreasonable. Normally, Sirevius should be thinking of how to stay in the Inner Court for his safety, but Grey's words about how his father barged into the Inner Court for revenge rattled him. And with the thought of wanting to leave the Inner Court region before he attacks, he decided to see if he could trick Sirevius out. Luckily he found out from one of them that Sirevius wanted to kill an Elder there. The journey was fast, Sirevius and his guard were fast.

….

At the edge of the Inner Court.

Grey and his group were already waiting. When Grey saw that Sirevius will leave the Inner Court, he went ahead to create an array. Well, it was more like an already made array, he just set it up there. The use of the array is simple, teleportation. Over the years, with the help of Void and now the bunny leader, he has come to master the s.p.a.ce element to a certain extent and also learn a few new tricks. 'I'll leave you here to activate it. Ensure that he's the one sent to my side.' Grey said to the bunny leader. 'Don't worry, you'll get him alone.' The bunny leader replied confidently. Grey left the area and headed for another area with Void. A few seconds after Grey left, Sirevius and his group arrived. "Wait." The guard suddenly spoke up as he looked around. "What's it?" Sirevius turned to his guard. "I have a bad feeling about this." The guard said seriously as he moved closer to Sirevius. Unfortunately, just as he was about to close the distance, a blinding light shone from beneath them and before they could react, they were all engulfed by it. It was instantaneous so there was no way they could react. The light only lasted for a second or two, but after it was gone, all five people disappeared.

….

The Inner Court, at the place where Sirevius and the three Birds just met.

A figure appeared, it was none other than the guard. The guard looked around and his heart dropped. "Oh no." They had been separated.
