Chapter 357 Stuck And Gripped

The reaper didn't know what else to say to them, but one thing was certain at the time: he was getting angry and didn't like the fact that he didn't understand what was going on, and Adora knew he just shouldn't have underestimated Alix, who had now grown to a different level but wasn't invincible.

"I don't know who or what the hell you are exactly, but I don't like this which means you are out of luck, I will kill you," he said and Alix's eyes narrowed as Adora clutched her stomach feeling as though she would be ripped apart and Ifrit held on tightly to her and she exhaled deeply.

"You are strong that much I give you, but you are not going to win this fight and just so you know, a reaper can disappear for good," Alix replied as the reaper took off with speed and Alix looked at him as he moved quickly and Ifrit sighed.

"They are causing quite the mess," Ifrit said.

"I know, I don't want him to leave here alive Ifrit, if he does.... Alix..." she replied and Ifrit glanced at her then patted her on the shoulder.

"Relax," he said as the ground beneath their feet shook while parts of it began cracking and Alix's eyes widened as the reaper appeared before him.

Before the reaper could hit him, he used the shadow and disappeared, reappearing a distance away from the reaper and the reaper chuckled as he lifted his hand releasing black lighting mixed with a purple hue and just as Alix was about to attack, something pierced Alix from behind and he coughed up blood.

"Alix," Adora said as blood ran down his arm and the reaper looked at him and they all gasped when they saw a shadow behind Alix and the tip of the reaper's scythe in Alix's arm.

"He is not only strong, but smart as well, well, he is a reaper," Ifrit said as Adora was about to move along with the others and Alix looked back at them.

"Please, don't, I will handle this one," he said.

"Are you sure about this? We can help," Kyris replied and Alix smiled.

"Yeah, I am sure, never start a fight you can't win, a lot say that, I am not going to back away," Alix said and Kyrsi exhaled deeply as Adora gnashed her teeth and the shadow grabbed onto the scythe, pulling it out of Alix before disappearing and Alix held on to his wound and the reaper grabbed onto his scythe and placed it on his shoulder.

"You thought you could win against me? You can only do that if you can push yourself more, you know, a bit dark, you should have listened to your friends, you barely managed to scratch me, you guys are crazy to think you will win against him, see the difference yet?" he asked with a grin and his eyes glowing black and purple.

"He will go for another attack, he has Alix where he wants him," Ifrit said and Nessa clenched her right fist.

"Let's see how many of you survives this," he said as he lifted his right hand in the air and a black ball began forming in his hand with a purple glowing ring, surrounding it.

"He is going to try to blow us all away," Misran said and Alix looked at the wound on his hand and his eyes widened when he noticed that dark veins began appearing around his wound and he gnashed his teeth, knowing the scythe must have done something to it and now realized that because the reaper was strong he was a part of the enemy group and was willing to do what it took to get what his master wanted.

Alix wanted to move from where he was standing, but when he tried to, he saw that the reaper had pinned him down using his own shadow and Alix scoffed.

"You're insane if you think I'm going to stand here and do nothing; I'm going to make sure you don't leave here alive," Alix muttered.

"Do you believe he'll make it, Adora?" Ifrit inquired.

"Adora, this could kill him, and he's not backing down; should we just stand here?" Ayden asked.

"Yes, don't worry, I won't let him, we should trust his decision, let's wait and see what happens, then we can make a move if we need to but for now, prepare yourselves," she responded as they exchanged glances and the ball of energy started glowing brighter and Alix looked down at his feet before sighing.

'If I don't do something, this won't end well, I said I will win but how do I do that? How do I kill a reaper, one that's connected to the dead?' Alix wondered while looking at the reaper carefully and his eyes narrowed when he began thinking about a few things.

"Now let me show you what I can really do when I am angry, you shouldn't have pissed me off and I am leaving here with what I came for," the reaper shouted.

"I hate this.." Alix said as his eyes began glowing bright red and blue and Adora's eyes widened as the reaper released the ball of energy he was creating and Kyris jumped before everyone, creating a barrier to protect them from the attack and the others looked at Alix to whom the ball was going for and he was stuck.

"Die," the reaper said and a smirk appeared on Alix's face as his clawed armor began glowing red and he lifted his hand up as his eyes glowed brighter and as he got lighter on his feet, he broke loose from the grip of the shadow and the reaper's eyes narrowed as the ball was about to hit Alix and he took a deep breath, releasing a wave of energy before grabbing onto the ball which pushed him back and the reaper's eyes trembled.

"Y- You have got to be kidding me, there is no way you would be able to hold that back," the reaper said as the energy releasing from the ball began creating a crater in the ground.
