94 : The First Year III pt. 40 (1/2)

Alex's rage to kill was high. There was nothing that would stop him. With the essence in his body filled to the brim, he felt powerful. No, he was powerful. He was able to use his abilities at a fast rate it was almost instantaneous.

When the timid man cut off his head, it was actually a shadow clone. When he made it? No one knew, but he did.

He used that chance to sneak up behind the timid man with Shadows Abyss, quickly piercing him. The timid man's death was certain.

Alex's eyes looked down at Isabel who was bleeding. She was still alive, but for how much longer was anyone's guess.

”What to do? What to do?”

Alex began thinking of methods to dismember her. He would cut her limbs off one by one slowly. Letting her suffer while he enjoyed each and every moment.

He couldn't help but laugh like the demon he was.

There was no reasoning with someone like him. The high ranking staff members moved in to react to the situation.

”Get the kids out of here!”

A woman with long blonde hair spoke with authority. The teachers nodded as they moved to evacuate the students. With Alex's transformation, he was no longer human. His strength could no be compared to before. It could be seen he was on another level from how he quickly dealt with the timid man.

Timid as he was, he was the fourth strongest person at the academy.

The Alex from before would die with just a flick from the timid man. Now, he could get rid of the timid man with ease. Such an increase in power could only come from an overflow.

”Hurry up and get to moving! Don't try and stay, there's nothing to see here!”

Cassandra moved with the wind as she started escorting the students in the stands out. She felt chills just looking at the monster below. If that thing went on a rampage, there was no telling how many students would die.

Nick glared at the turned Alex with cold eyes. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly as he clenched his teeth.

He felt sorry for Isabel. She should not be laying there like that.

He couldn't leave her if he did she'd die for sure.

Freya grabbed his arm, she could tell what he was about to do. Nick turned at her, fury in his eyes.

”Be careful.”

Freya told him before letting his arm go. Nick nodded his head as he dashed onto the stage.

Shockwaves emerged on stage as the high ranking staff members began their fight with Alex. It was four against one, they were going to win. It was only a matter of time.

The four of them were extremely cautious as they engaged in battle with Alex.

One of them seemed to notice Nick's presence on stage.

”What are you doing?”

One of them yelled out at Nick.

”Leave him be, focus on what's in front of you.”

Another one said calmly.

Nick grabbed Isabel and carried her in a princess style as he rushed off the stage. Her body felt cold to the touch, and her pulse was slowing.

”Argh!”

Alex let out a roar as he saw Isabel escaping. He couldn't let her leave, he still had plans for her.

His body sank into the ground in the blink of an eye. He emerged in front of Nick and roared. All of it happened in less than five seconds.

Nick's eyes turned icy blue. He could see all the channels inside Alex's body. Each was bursting with energy, so clear in color. Nick grinned as he continued to move. There was nothing to fear, Alex movements were extremely easy to read.

With him bursting with energy the essence in his body could be seen clear as day. Much more vivid than when Nick saw a normal person.

The stronger the essence inside a being's body, the easier it would be for Nick to read the flow inside them. That was where his true strength laid. He could foresee movements before they occurred and react to them.

None of Alex's blows hit Nick as Nick dodged them. He never slowed down, but he didn't forget to call Alex a brute with no brain.

Alex's body seemed to flash forward as he charged Nick. Alex was met with a wall of earth. It blocked his path from getting towards Nick.
