In the midst of the battlefield, these two groups were facing each other. However, the monsters also joined this clash as if these two were on their way.
*Roar Roar!*
A series of roars resounded across the Ancient Ruin.
Alex and the mysterious guy glanced at the monsters, and every single person on their side struck the incoming monsters.
At the sa ti, Alex and the guy seed to have the sa idea. The mont they killed the monster coming their way, these two slashed their swords forward.
"Mythical Fire Slash."
"Blade Rite."
The two sent their Sword Waves. The guy seed to produce a very powerful Sword Wave that seed to be able to bend ti around it.
Alex's Mythical Fire Slashes were affected almost imdiately. The mont it clashed with his Blade Rite, the Sword Wave slowly shrank as if it never existed. No, the Blade Rite was turning back the ti and made the Sword Wave go back in ti to the point where Alex had yet to use it.
However, the Blade Rite suddenly broke as if it was cut by sothing.
"!!!" The mysterious guy never expected that because he believed he managed to destroy Alex's attack. And yet, he felt a sharp and overbearing pressure coming toward him. He instinctively slashed his swords many tis.
"Paradox Slash."
"!!!" He was shocked again when he slashed the empty air. He seed to have cut sothing invisible, and it wasn't just one. Because of this, he raised his guard, knowing Alex wasn't a joke.
*Roar Roar!*
Two dragons appeared from Alex's weapons and roared in the sky.
'I don't know what happened earlier since that attack was very weird as if he skipped ti… Now that I think about it, his ability is ti, right? What kind of ability is that?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. 'Looking back at what happened… That Delayed Slash seed to symbolize its characteristic.
'The man cut that place before but only made it appear after Leoz and Jeanne showed themselves. In other words, he has known they are here. On the other hand, his Paradox Slash is sothing similar to my Tripe Draws.
'It can throw multiple attacks in a single swing. My Triple Draws can only make three slashes for each weapon, while his Paradox Slash is able to get more… Let's see… Isn't it like ten of them?' Alex thought while observing his ability. 'Still, ti ability huh… What kind of ability does he possess?'
When he thought about it, the guy appeared right in front of him. Alex used his Spirit Eyes to follow his movent, but he was surprised by the amount of strike in that single instant.
*Clang Clang!* After two clashes, all that left was more injuries on Alex's body. At the sa ti, the guy already passed him.
"!!!" The spirits opened their eyes wide. They were thinking about killing this bastard that injured Alex, but the seven n in black suddenly appeared by their side, attacking them to stop them.
Alex checked his body. Luckily, he had his Phoenix Aura that had turned into armor, so the wound wasn't too deep. He took another deep breath while facing the guy.
"All of you will focus on my armor. Whether it's a fire armor or my Phoenix Aura, make sure I have sothing to protect my body. I don't want to have a huge wound and lose too much blood." Alex inford the three contracted beasts.
Suddenly, a monster appeared between them, heading toward Anna. However, both Alex and the mysterious guy imdiately waved their Sword, releasing a Sword Wave. And as expected, the clash was equal.
Alex had been using his Spirit Crown and Fire Authority to boost his power. At the sa ti, Anya also increased his cultivation base temporarily by using her usual support ability.
"This will be a hard fight, and I don't know if I can win or not." Alex took a deep breath while lifting his finger to create many Spatial Plates to hinder his opponent.
The guy also felt sothing in front of him, but he could barely tell where and what they were. He furrowed his eyebrows.
Alex and the guy leaped toward each other. The guy was avoiding the Space Plates. However, his aim was no that. Suddenly, a monster appeared between them, trying to attack soone past them.
Alex imdiately recognized his intention. He was planning to use that monster to attack him. Because of that, he decided to do the sa as they slashed their sword at the sa ti. Because both of their visions were covered by this monster's large body, they thought they were able to make a sneak attack.
Little did they know, whether it was Alex's Spirit Eyes or the guy's Ti Eyes, both of them seed to be able to see through this monster, focusing their vision on each other.
The mont they slashed the monsters into two, their swords collided and created a shock wave that blew the body away.
"!!!" The two seed to be surprised by their own actions. In that clash alone, they had the sa thought. ??He could see ?'
Alex imdiately leaped back to create another distance. The first strike where he wounded him was one of the worst attacks that might not be possible to be blocked… Or at least, that was what he felt for the ti being. Whether it was coming from the gap in their cultivation base or his ti ability itself, Alex still felt the danger of challenging him in that clash.
"What should I do?" Alex thought for a mont while looking left and right to see an opportunity but to no avail. He didn't have anything to take advantage of and sighed. "It seems I can only clash with him for a few more minutes to see any opportunity while learning about his ability."
Having decided what to do, Alex leaped toward the guy with both weapons. Despite his objective, Alex wasn't reckless at all. He kept his distance to make sure the guy didn't use the sa technique and injured him again.
Of course, the task of maintaining his distance fell upon his spear. When the mysterious guy tried to get closer to him and his spear didn't make it, he imdiately used his two Dragons to ram him, albeit both dragons got cut with his weapons.
That strange ability was sothing Alex needed to take down if he wanted to win against the person in front of him. Still, he was pretty lucky because his opponent is a 10-Star Martial Saint while he is a 6-Star. If he were to fight him while he was 1-Star, the gap would be higher even if the guy only had a 4-Star Martial Saint cultivation base.
Normally, he would be able to fight even if his enemy was stronger than him. And this mysterious guy was the sa. Yet, if they were asked, could they defeat the weakest God Rank Expert? The answer would be no.
It was because of the huge qualitative leap from a mortal to a divine being. That was why the 10-Star Martial Saint got his ability limited by the current cultivation base. If not, Alex might be more miserable than now.
And with this, ten minutes had passed.
Alex's situation beca a bit worse, but he seed to have completed his objective.
"Ah! I can finally see it." Alex smirked. "I think I have grasped your ability. You can see sothing… But it's not . There is also another ti where your vision is blocked. Even though you sohow can see , I am sure it's not my figure. Instead, there is sothing else that indicates sothing that allows you to figure out my move."
"…" There was no need for an answer. Alex already knew he was right because his expression turned serious.
*Clap Clap!* The guy smirked while giving Alex applause. "To think you have grasped the ability of my eyes in just a few exchanges… I am impressed."
"Now, you have finally talked." Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "We don't have any grudges. Yet, you co here from another world, suddenly attacking . Who are you? What is your objective?"
"Have you fought so many idiots to the point you ask this pointless question?"
"No… I am just testing whether you are an idiot or not."
Veins bulge on their heads, knowing that the enemy before them is the pain in the ass.
Alex sensed his spirits and knew they were still alright. Although it was a bit rough for them, they made good progress.
The guy took a deep breath. "Still, I will give you a hint of my objective…. If you don't beco stronger as quickly as possible, you are going to die."
"…" Alex's expression turned grim as he asked. "What do you an by that?"
"It's as I said. You are too weak to live."
"Then, let's see whether I have the power or not." Alex smiled as he channeled his Spiritual Energy to his Spirit Crown, utilizing his Spirit Step and Dragon Aura to enhance his strength.
The fla rose even further as it was also fueled by Sherry and the couple. Despite saying this, Alex knew that he could not defeat the person in front of him even with Anya's support. That was why the only way to close the gap was with the help of his Contracted Beasts.
His Pure Fire started scorching and heated up the air. That hot air brushed his skin as he noticed that his Pure was no joke. Coupled with his Space Elent, Alex might be able to defeat him even with a stronger cultivation base and Ti Elent… But as long as he carefully approached him, it shouldn't be that hard.
"Heh… Your Pure Fire is strong, but it can only burn sothing that is used for a period of ti. Or at least, it should have a physical body. It doesn't matter whether it is visible or not. Still, it is useless against my Ti Elent. It won't be able to burn ti!" The guy smirked.
"Say no more!" Alex slashed his weapons forward, sending twelve Sword Waves.
"This again…" The guy sent the sa Sword Wave to block this attack. But like their previous clash, Alex's Space Cut was still able to break through this attack, making their way toward the guy. The guy slashed the remaining attacks. "Paradox Slash!"
"It's futile. You won't—" Before he finished, he saw Alex opening his Spatial Gate as if he wanted to escape to the Space World. The guy clicked his tongue and leaped toward Alex with all of his strength. "Acceleration!"
"!!!" Alex swung his spear to the left, feeling the hit. However, the guy's figure never appeared in his vision. Instead, that guy seed to have teleported to his right side.
This confused Alex, but before he knew it, the pain appeared again. This ti, it originated from his arms and stomach.
"Gah!" He spat another mouthful of blood, never expecting he got cut again. Not only that, but his Spatial Gate was also split into half.
He gritted his teeth, knowing he must catch this guy off to create a Spatial Gate.
Taking another glimpse of that guy, Alex lifted his finger as many tentacles appeared around that guy.
"Space Bind!"
"Delayed Slash!"
The Sword cut every single tentacle again as the guy leaped forward.
Alex created another Spatial Gate to escape.
However, the mont the guy almost cut him, he suddenly let go of his control over the Spatial Gate and turned around with both weapons in his hands. Smiling, he swung both weapons at the sa ti.
"!!!" The guy imdiately recognized Alex's movent. It was to bait him, and he realized that he was in a pinch. "I won't make it!"
"Heaven Light Slash!"
"Paradox Slash!"
*Clang!*
What was shocking about this was the fact that only one clicking sound reverberated in their ears.
"Kah!" Alex spat another mouthful of blood as his waist got another injury. But this ti, he smiled.
"Impossible!" That guy also spat blood. Two wounds appeared on his right arm, two on his chest, and one in his left arm.
Alex panted as he smiled, looking at this guy. This was the first ti he managed to land a clean hit, so he said, "Now that I have seen through your move, how about another round?"
