849 Chapter 822

''What are the rewards?" Ego asked, his lips curling upward into a smirk, just enough to reveal his sharp canines.

However, he only met with a silence which made him shrug his shoulders.

Silveria looked at Ego; he felt like this one would be a pain in the ass to deal with. He seemed like someone who wouldn't listen to what others said, doing whatever he wanted.

'He must be monitored not to cause unnecessary trouble.' She decided that it would be best to monitor Ego every time he was created. They shouldn't have an evil Alex running rampant, considering his strength. Ego might not have access to the original full skills, but it doesn't make him less dangerous.

What left Silveria feeling a bit relieved was the fact that Ego didn't have the Death eye, and he couldn't probably use the death gun (Nyx); maybe he could once the alter ego's skill increased in the future but hopefully not, because Silveria's gut feeling was telling her that this thing would surely cause trouble one day.

'Let's just watch.' Silveria mumbled while looking at the two; the match was about to start.

Swoosh!

Ego was the one who attacked first; even with his limited stats, he was still fast enough to give the illusion that he had teleported. He appeared before Alex and threw an uppercut toward his unguarded jaw. Alex dodged with minimal movement. As they shared soul, they were the same Alex knew what he alter ego would do.

Ego tried to punch him in the stomach with his other, but Alex met the attack with a powerful punch that threw Ego off guard. Alex followed with a round kick, but Ego lowered his body until it almost touched the ground. He flipped his body back using his hands.

Alex, who was about to attack, tilted his head to the side to dodge a knife thrown at him.

Silveria's eyes widened when she saw Ego throwing one of Alex's throwing knives. She was about to ask how but in the end, she stopped asking because she was sure it was only possible if Alex authorized him to use them. It was normal they wouldn't fight using only their fist, weapon would be used as well.

Alex, who dodged the knife, didn't have the time to breathe before Ego was already in front of him with a front splitting kick and not your normal one; somehow, there was green light covering his leg; it extended like a green blade.

''Not bad, you're not the only one capable of doing that.'' Alex borrowed his alter ego idea; the wind element covered his leg, and he sent it above his head, kicking Ego's leg.

Bang!

The collision between their legs created a small shockwave; they attacked at the same time, punch landing on each other faces.

''Ugh!" Ego grunted as he felt a sharp pain in his cheek.

''Silveria!" Alex called out, and she immediately understood what he was trying to say.

As soon as Silveria vanished, turning into a silver light, two guns appeared in the two hands, and bullets were unleashed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Using bullets to offset each other attacks, the two danced around as the sound of gunshots rang out constantly.

The two were smiling like two children playing hide and seek. They understood each other perfectly; their control over their body was to the extent that they knew where the other would attack from.

It was beautiful how accurately the bullets they fired from their guns would strike each other, creating a beautiful spark.

Swoosh!

Ego threw another knife at Alex, the knife cut through the air like a meteor, but Alex had no trouble dodging it.

Having expected this, Ego wore an evil grin as he quietly mumbled.

''Shadow Shift!"

He shadow shifted the knife he had just thrown and arrived in Alex's blind spot; he summoned another knife and slashed as though he was performing a thrust. He knew with just this, Alex would not go down; therefore, he executed multiple attacks.

Clang!

Alex blocked the knife aiming at his back with Silveria; seeing this, Ego smiled, thinking he had won. The gun he had previously discarded reappeared in his hand as he fired a special bullet, a flame bullet created using the mana convergence skill.

Just as the bullet was about to leave the gun chamber, Alex, who shouldn't be able to deal with the third attack, responded with a smile that sent shivers down to Ego's spine. They might have the same soul, but he was still a mere copy. For him to think that he could outsmart Alex so easily was a big mistake. A mistake he would be paying for.

Alex summoned reaper and covered it in wind element to make it sharper and more durable before blocking the gun chamber with the enhanced knife, and when a bullet couldn't leave its chamber, there was only one result awaiting the gun.

Boom!

The silver gun was created using Xerox, which meant it was not durable as the original exploded with Ego being violently flung away and metal shrapnel piercing through his body.

Enduring the pain, he threw a knife to the side before shadow shifting to avoid the next rain's bullets fired from meteor bullet he believed.

However, it was faint; the real attack happened right after Ego shadow shifted.

A phantom bullet cut through the air like an invisible hand that came to claim Ego's life. It was already too late; by the time he noticed this, he couldn't dodge. Then he got an idea if you can't, then make use of the situation to your advantage. Every situation could be used.

Just as the explosion produced by the phantom bullet was about to swallow him, with his remaining arm, he threw one of the metal shrapnel that pierced his body at Alex, who dodged.

Boom!

Finally, Ego was swallowed by the explosion, dying.

Just as he was about to dust himself thinking that the match had ended, he felt danger, and immediately he used Steel's body; his body was covered in metal shine, barely before a bullet struck him in the back, pushing him forward a couple of steps.

''Eh?" Alex was surprised by how resourceful his alter ego was.
