Chapter 189: Taking Things In (2) (1/2)

Although he was not able to fully read Alex's mind and internal thoughts, he was still more than able to assume what he was thinking just from his actions and expressions alone, Moby feeling the same about most if not all of them.

For the sake of his friends, Alex was more than ready to risk his own life and disregard his safety, nothing in his mind seemed more important.

He withstood overusing and pushing his demon powers far past their intended limits when any other man would have simply given up from the beyond unimaginable pain, not to mention fighting with that pain still ravaging their body.

Yet, despite all of that, his opponent was just simply too strong, way beyond any level he could even dream of beating in his current state, he was doomed to fail even before the fight started.

She was a very unusual person, strange unlike anyone or anything he had previously seen or even heard about before… A cute girl on the outside but a ruthless monster on the inside, that made him and her slightly similar in that regard. However, that was where their similarities ended.

Just like Alex thought, he too felt like she was just 2 very different, clashing people stuck sharing the same body.

HikariYami… Yami, who seemed always serious only thinking about completing the objective as quickly and efficiently as possible and Hikari, a little child whose only purpose seemed to be having some fun at the expense of others.

Still, that was not what worried him the most… What was truly scary and worrisome was how damn strong she was. Without a shadow of a doubt, she was by far the strongest student he had ever seen in action before.

If he hadn't heard her talk about her boss when he was still experiencing Alex's memories, he might have been inclined to think that from her level of strength, she was non-other the leader of the Zexis gang.

Just the mere thought of it made Moby shudder… She must have been either rank 2 or 1 in the gang, the worst case being that she was only the second seat. If that was the case, assuming that the first seat was not the boss themselves, there would be 2 whole people stronger than her, someone, who was definitely high up in the S tier.

Not only did she have the ability to create C rank powered puppets of light, but her physical strength was otherworldly. Even with Alex's completely buffed form pushed way beyond his limits, he was easily taken out by a simple slap without her batting an eye, and that only seemed like a minuscule taste of her powers.

Yet, the most troublesome skill she had did not pertain to her strength, no, far from it. It was the fact that she was able to disrupt the mind-link between them. That must have also been the reason why he was not able to track down Abby, she must have been using that skill to mask their presence.
