812 Another Round (2/2)

Alex's situation became a bit worse, but he seemed to have completed his objective.

”Ah! I can finally see it.” Alex smirked. ”I think I have grasped your ability. You can see something… But it's not me. There is also another time where your vision is blocked. Even though you somehow can see me, I am sure it's not my figure. Instead, there is something else that indicates something that allows you to figure out my move.”

”…” There was no need for an answer. Alex already knew he was right because his expression turned serious.

*Clap Clap!* The guy smirked while giving Alex applause. ”To think you have grasped the ability of my eyes in just a few exchanges… I am impressed.”

”Now, you have finally talked.” Alex furrowed his eyebrows. ”We don't have any grudges. Yet, you come here from another world, suddenly attacking me. Who are you? What is your objective?”

”Have you fought so many idiots to the point you ask this pointless question?”

”No… I am just testing whether you are an idiot or not.”

Veins bulge on their heads, knowing that the enemy before them is the pain in the ass.

Alex sensed his spirits and knew they were still alright. Although it was a bit rough for them, they made good progress.

The guy took a deep breath. ”Still, I will give you a hint of my objective…. If you don't become stronger as quickly as possible, you are going to die.”

”…” Alex's expression turned grim as he asked. ”What do you mean by that?”

”It's as I said. You are too weak to live.”

”Then, let's see whether I have the power or not.” Alex smiled as he channeled his Spiritual Energy to his Spirit Crown, utilizing his Spirit Step and Dragon Aura to enhance his strength.

The flame rose even further as it was also fueled by Sherry and the couple. Despite saying this, Alex knew that he could not defeat the person in front of him even with Anya's support. That was why the only way to close the gap was with the help of his Contracted Beasts.

His Pure Fire started scorching and heated up the air. That hot air brushed his skin as he noticed that his Pure was no joke. Coupled with his Space Element, Alex might be able to defeat him even with a stronger cultivation base and Time Element… But as long as he carefully approached him, it shouldn't be that hard.

”Heh… Your Pure Fire is strong, but it can only burn something that is used for a period of time. Or at least, it should have a physical body. It doesn't matter whether it is visible or not. Still, it is useless against my Time Element. It won't be able to burn time!” The guy smirked.

”Say no more!” Alex slashed his weapons forward, sending twelve Sword Waves.

”This again…” The guy sent the same Sword Wave to block this attack. But like their previous clash, Alex's Space Cut was still able to break through this attack, making their way toward the guy. The guy slashed the remaining attacks. ”Paradox Slash!”

”It's futile. You won't—” Before he finished, he saw Alex opening his Spatial Gate as if he wanted to escape to the Space World. The guy clicked his tongue and leaped toward Alex with all of his strength. ”Acceleration!”

”!!!” Alex swung his spear to the left, feeling the hit. However, the guy's figure never appeared in his vision. Instead, that guy seemed to have teleported to his right side.

This confused Alex, but before he knew it, the pain appeared again. This time, it originated from his arms and stomach.

”Gah!” He spat another mouthful of blood, never expecting he got cut again. Not only that, but his Spatial Gate was also split into half.

He gritted his teeth, knowing he must catch this guy off to create a Spatial Gate.

Taking another glimpse of that guy, Alex lifted his finger as many tentacles appeared around that guy.

”Space Bind!”

”Delayed Slash!”

The Sword cut every single tentacle again as the guy leaped forward.

Alex created another Spatial Gate to escape.

However, the moment the guy almost cut him, he suddenly let go of his control over the Spatial Gate and turned around with both weapons in his hands. Smiling, he swung both weapons at the same time.

”!!!” The guy immediately recognized Alex's movement. It was to bait him, and he realized that he was in a pinch. ”I won't make it!”

”Heaven Light Slash!”

”Paradox Slash!”

*Clang!*

What was shocking about this was the fact that only one clicking sound reverberated in their ears.

”Kah!” Alex spat another mouthful of blood as his waist got another injury. But this time, he smiled.

”Impossible!” That guy also spat blood. Two wounds appeared on his right arm, two on his chest, and one in his left arm.

Alex panted as he smiled, looking at this guy. This was the first time he managed to land a clean hit, so he said, ”Now that I have seen through your move, how about another round?”
