225 Chapter 225

Albert’s senses screamed of danger urging him to flee.

As he stared at the figure, he started to hallucinate about standing on an ocean of blood, filled with bones and corpses.

His eyes of discernment saw a strong bloody aura emerging from Alex that was impaling him down.

“It’s time for round two,” Alex spoke with a mocking expression.

Albert snapped out of his senses and the illusion disappeared quickly.

Both of them circled around keeping their guard up.

Albert made the first move but Alex just slapped the blade aside and thrust forward.

Albert parried and tried to counter the thrust, two of them met face to face with swords struggling against each other but at the last moment, Alex pulled out the sword off the line and raised his right arm to give a slap.

SlAP!

Albert was startled by the sudden move and stepped back quickly with his red cheek while glaring at Alex.

“You shameless…”

“What You…” Alex grinned.

“Did you think of that when you threatened my lady?” Alex muttered while slashing forward.

“The playtime is over.” Alex grinned and snorted at him.

“You have great potential and have been blessed by the heavens. Instead of looking for guidance from a good teacher, you run around looking for death.”

“I need to teach you a lesson,” Alex murmured after all he cannot leave a person having the such talent to behave like an idiotic ruffian.

“It’s time to go Overdrive.”

Alex knew he had become serious otherwise things were going bad.

Alex pushed every ounce of his strength to the limit.

Emitting a large amount of energy that even gave Albert a sense of dilapidation, his entire senses were focused on the target.

Whoosh!.

Alex’s body moved like lightning, coated in a bluish hue emitting faint trails of lightning, he strolled forward.

“Bring it on. Do you think I fear you?” Albert shouted.

He moved like a blur while sharpening his body in an instant.

Condensing a great deal of mana onto his sword, Alex created a blade of light which brimmed with great brilliance that could render one blind instantly.

It was even enough to tear the space around him.

There was no hesitation in Alex’s eyes nor any remorse if he killed Albert in this process, he just had to give his best and satisfy this idiot.

The blade descended with a Godlike speed, slashing Albert in front of him.

CLANG!

Sparks flew as Albert easily parried his full strike but his legs stumbled into the ground forming a small pit which startled him.

He quickly pulled out his leg, thrashing the ground and coating his blade with mana and sliced at Alex.

BOOOM!

The echoes of the devastating impact sped across the air and the ground started to break apart but Alex didn’t look shaken even though the surroundings suffered a great deal.

SHINNNG!

Alex knocked his next strike and twisted his blade and Alex I’m an| blurred appeared behind Albert and brandishing his sword at him.

Albert as if he had an eye on his back slashed backwards spinning his body without even turning his head.

Swish!

Alex’s body was ripped apart but much to Albert’s surprise, thr ripped body started to disperse into mana.

“Clone!” Albert squealed and before he could react, Alex twisted his legs and slammed his feet on Albert’s torso sending him flying.

Albert rotated his body in the mid-air and landed on his feet but leaving behind a streak of lightning Alex appeared before him while slashing at him.

Albert shouted and a dense chilling aura burst forth from his body attacking Alex with Halestorm.

Alex exhaled leaving fumes of mist and Albert’s attack wasn’t enough to stop him.

Bringing both of his arms down with a strong vertical stroke, Alex slashed.

[Iron Heavy Swordsmanship]

Alex’s sword became heavy and all the strength was concentrated at a single point.

The point of the sword that was going to collide against the enemy was condensed with all his strength.

Albert raised his sword on which a mini tornado of snow swirled

BOOOOOM!

Light filled the whole area with a blinding flash that was expanding in radius.

The eruption blasted debris and scattered it all around.

Alex generated a shield to defend himself from freezing coldness. The destructive ability of the attack tore down the defence of Albert who was plunged downward due to the heavy blow and even the ground failed to support him.

As the thick smoke disappeared Albert squatted down supporting himself with his broken tip sword.

“I can’t lose. I can’t lose now.” He muttered.

Getting up, he raised his hand.

Mana swirled around him and ice started to materialise taking shape and rendering forms.

“Try this!”

A cackle escapes Albert’s lips as he launches a spear in Alex’s direction.

Whoosh!

Space tore as the long and sharp pointy spear was projected at me.

The insane velocity of the attack was enough to tear everyone into shred that stood before it.

Albert had poured almost everything into it and enhanced it as much as possible.

The spear rotating in itself hurled its way toward Alex with a massive burst of energy.

Alex raised his sword to his right arm while staring at the incoming attack.

[Piercing Thrust]

Alex grinned and stabbed his sword and his hand shot like a whip, shooting a mass of concentrated pressure that sliced everything before him.

BOOOM!

Everything before Alex was cut apart from the ground to air while the spear burst and explode into shards of ice vaporising everything in front of him.

The remaining strength of the pressure hit Albert and sent him flying back like a doll spurting blood.

With a look of disbelief on his face, he stared aimlessly at the skies with an ugly expression.

All of his body ached as he had pushed himself greatly and he had suffered the repercussions of using too much of his ice ability and his blood was clotted inside him.

In a way, his situation was quite bad and if not treated properly, the clot may render some functions of his body useless and he may turn crippled or die.

‘I can’t die here, otherwise, all my hard work and my journey in search of strength would be in vain.’

Albert gritted his teeth trying to keep himself conscious while enduring the pain.

He heard the sound of footsteps and looked around to hear a voice.

“If I were in your shoes. I would have killed myself rather than lose a person who is of a lower rank than me.”

“What that means is you are Epic rank. You didn’t conceal your rank.”Albert spoke with an expression of shock and disbelief.

“Bastard, how many times do I need to say that I am Epic rank.”

“It’s your fault for thinking that I am concealing my strength,” Alex shouted.

As if the last straw had been broken, Albert’s eyes became lifeless and he coughed black blood with a pained expression.

He still thought that this guy had held back a little and he might have lost outright if the guy had used all his strength.

At first, he saw him as a hurdle and by defeating the guy, he could step further but the more he fought, the more he felt that this guy wasn’t serious and still had some tricks up his sleeves.

If only Albert knew that what Alex held back were magic spells and Goddess blessings to boost his physical prowess instead of rank, he might die of shock.
