Chapter 244 - Affinity With Another Element?

As long as Master Valen enters the grandmaster realm, there is no need for them to worry about the bug warriors.

Be it one hundred thousand or one million, Master Valen will take care of them with the help of Captain Kale, three master realm mercenaries, and Commander Zaid.

"Master Valen said he needed at least 30 more minutes to consolidate his foundation in his new realm. So, until then, we have to stop these bugs."

Captain Kale didn't wait for soldiers' reply as he continued and told them to give their all for the next 30 minutes.

"Yes, Captain Kale."

"For the Valen city."

Soon, everyone became excited and started killing the bug warriors with even more excited looks on their faces.

While soldiers were fighting with excited looks on their faces, Captain Kale was keeping an eye on the other master realm bug warriors along with the grandmaster realm bug warrior.

From time to time, Captain Kale would kill a master realm bug warrior and protect his subordinates.

.....

Inside the guest room.

'Aargh'

Henrick continued to groan in pain as he collapsed onto the floor.

"Henrick, 50 percent of your right hand is re-generated. As long as you endure the pain, you can have your complete arm."

In the place of his previously missing right hand, there was half arm which was covered entirely in the green light dots as the arm is re-generated slowly.

'The war has already begun. We need to finish this as soon as possible.'

Henrick said to Grace in a low voice.

"Yeah"

Not only Henrick's forehead but even Grace's forehead was completely covered in sweat as she nodded her head.

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, Henrick's right hand was completely re-generated.

'Ding,

        Congratulations to Master for successfully re-generating your right hand.

'Ding,

          The system detected the traces of wood elements in the Master's right hand.

'Ding,

          Congratulations to the Master for gaining the affinity with wood elements. 

'Ding,

          Wood element affinity:- 1 percent. (Need to be increased to 100 percent to cultivate wood elemental cultivation techniques.)

Just as his right hand was completely re-generated, Henrick's head was filled with the system notifications.

'What?'

Even though Henrick was tired after enduring so much pain, he saw that he had an affinity with another element.

Moreover, it was a very good element that can increase his vitality.

Actually, it was not rare for a cultivator to have an affinity with two or three elements. In the history of Aecrath, there were a couple of cultivators with four elemental affinities.

As for the benefits of having multiple elemental affinities, there were many.

Even though a cultivator will still awaken a single ability for every major realm, the chances of awakening abilities related to dual or triple elements are high.

A cultivator with abilities from different elements can have high survival chances in a dog-eat-dog world.

"What happened, Henrick?"

Wiping her sweat-covered forehead, Grace asked Henrick for his sudden shocked reaction.

"It's about my right hand. I feel like I am in a dream."

Henrick hurriedly gave some random explanation before asking, "Let's go and join the fight now."

Even though Henrick was tired, he wanted to fight the bug warriors and surprise everyone with his re-generated right hand.

At the same time, he just wanted to fight the bug warriors with his complete body now.

'No, we need to rest for some time.'

However, Grace shook her head with a tired look on her face.

While Henrick was tired from enduring pain for an hour, Grace was tired of helping Henrick re-generate his right hand.

"Don't worry; you need to take a rest. I will go and help others."

Even though Henrick was a little tired, the excitement to fight the bug warriors wanted him to go as soon as possible.

He didn't wait for Grace's reply as he directly rushed out of the room while leaving Grace behind.

"You"

Grace was shocked for a moment when she heard his word, but soon, it turned into worry.

That's right!

She was worried because she knew Henrick had endured so much pain for an hour, and he was not taking any rest before rushing to fight the bug warriors.

However, she didn't run after him because he was too tired to take even a step outside the room.

So, she directly sat on the bed and started recovering her internal energy.

....

Outside the city gates.

'Damn it...where is city master?'

'How much longer will it take to consolidate his cultivation?'

'If he comes any later, the remaining 100 soldiers will also die.'

The humans fighting the bug warriors were becoming anxious when there was no sign of Master Valen, even after 30 minutes.

'Damn it....what is taking him so long?'

Even Captain Kale was becoming frustrating while waiting for Master Valen.

Initially, there were a little more than 200 soldiers; however, there are only a few more than 100 soldiers.

Fortunately, the nine commanders of the Valen city were still fighting along with the mercenaries, who didn't receive any casualties.

No matter how hard Captain Kale tried, he could not protect others, and this is a war where he can't be a babysitter for everyone.

Since his mercenary squad was very important to fight the grandmaster realm bug warrior and other master realm bug warriors, he preferred his subordinates; instead of the soldiers.

'Also, what is Grace doing with that single-armed young man at a time like this?'

Earlier, he got the information from one of his subordinates whom he sent to find Grace.

He said that she was with Henrick and that the subordinate stressed the words 'Some sounds were coming from the room'.

When he heard that, Captain Kale didn't believe his subordinate's words because he saw her growing up, and he knew she was not the type of girl who would do such a thing at a time like this.

'Unless that young man had some ability that can force…..'

When he thought about something, Captain Kale's face turned ugly, and he clenched his fists.

'Damn you, handicapped boy.'

'Windstorm'

Captain Kale was so angry that he directly used his second powerful skill and instantly killed more than 1000 bug warriors of the energy condensation realm and below.

At the same time, a couple of master realm bug warriors were killed, along with a dozen master realm bug warriors who were injured. 

Many of the master realm bug warriors only had a cultivation level 1 or level 2 master realm after being suppressed by the world. So, in front of an experienced fighter like Captain Kale, they were instantly killed and severely injured.

As for Captain Kale, even though he was very angry with Henrick, he can't leave the battlefield because the moment he leaves the battlefield, the remaining few soldiers would be killed within a few seconds because he was keeping the master realm bug warriors busy.

'I will take care of him after the fight.'

Soon, he swore to teach Henrick a good lesson.

Captain Kale was annoyed with Master Valen also because he was taking much more time than he said.

"Human, you are very good."

"However, you are going to die today."

Suddenly, Captain Kale was surrounded by more than a dozen bug warriors.

All of them had a cultivation of above level 5  and level 6 master realm. So, Captain Kale frowned a little.

'It's good since the master realm bug warriors are concentrating on me. I can stall for some time.'

However, his frown disappeared and was replaced with a slight smile.

Actually, not all 100 master realm bug warriors were attacking the humans as though they were planning something.

Whenever a master realm bug warrior comes to the front to attack others, Captain Kale would take care of them.

"Human, I know what you are thinking. But, I have to warn you that you can't stall for any time because, within the next few minutes, all the humans who were on the battlefield will be killed."

All of a sudden, Captain Kale's smile froze when he heard words of one bug warrior whose head was double the size of other bug warriors.

"Also, I know you care for your subordinates. Since you killed so many of our subordinates, I will let you see the deaths of your subordinates too...Hehe."

As soon as he finished his words, the big-headed bug warrior revealed an eerie smile, and seeing that smile, a couple of master realm bug warriors rushed towards Captain Kale's subordinates.

"Oh no."

Captain Kale became anxious when he heard the big-headed bug warriors' words and tried to rush towards them; however, he was blocked by the other master realm bug warriors.

"I like the face when someone you care for dies in front of you."

Looking at the anxious look on Captain Kale's face, the big-headed bug warrior's eerie voice resounded in the area.

"I am going to kill everyone for this."

Captain Kale became angry when he heard those words and decided to kill the master realm bug warriors surrounding him before saving his subordinates.

However, how can he kill a dozen master realm bug warriors in a short time? He was barely able to protect himself, much less kill them.

'Am I going to watch my subordinates die in front of my own eyes?'

Captain Kale looked at the master realm bug warriors who almost reached his subordinates.

Since only three of his subordinates were master realm cultivators, the master realm bug warriors rushed towards energy transformation realm subordinates.
