(Back to Alex after he ran to the boss)
[They are angry.]
Sophia spoke as Alex ran to the boss.
'I could tell that, and that was the reason why I let them take care of the beasts as it would let them cool down a bit,' Alex just shrugged as he was right in front of the boss by now.
Neither Alex nor the boss, none of them attacked, they kept staring at each other until finally, the boss opened its beak.
It didn't open its beak to talk, it directly attacked as it shot the breath attack right on Alex's face.
"Here I was thinking that maybe I found another peace-loving beast…." Alex spoke with disappointnt before he waved his hand.
The fire that was coming towards him didn't stop, he didn't have that much power right now, as he was still limited to SS-rank, but he still had the power to divert the flas, and that he did.
'What?!" The beast exclaid as it saw its fla not listening to it as they went ahead and crashed into the ground.
The flas, however, didn't go off even after they hit the ground and continued burning and spreading, after all, they had that property.
But the beast stopped the fire from spreading.
The fire keeps burning, but it also takes mana from the caster. Even though it is a small amount of mana, it still takes, and right now…...
'He is strong, I can't waste my mana, I can only do one thing....' The leader of the Darkfires thought as it hardened its claws, making a scratching sound.
One clash was enough to tell the beast that it had drawn the short stick, and it would lose if the fight went on, after all, the black fire is the strongest attack Darkfires are feared for.
"Well, at least your bird brain is smart enough to understand that your fire is useless against ," Alex taunted as he got ready to punch the bird/ beast right in its face, killing it already.
The leader of the Darkfires looked around for a second before it ran toward Alex at full speed.
'Hm? Why does its movent seem strange….' Alex who could see the beast dashing as he found it odd that the beast's movent didn't match its intentions.
'Or maybe his intentions never had anything to do with attacking ….' Alex narrowed his eyes as he thought of that.
But by the ti Alex thought that the beast that was running towards him made a hard pause, turned to the left, and ran with at the highest speed it could.
It was a herbivore beast after all, and they were better runners as it would help them run away from predators.
"So, that was your intention from the start huh," Alex comnted before he made a clapping motion with both of his hands, though he didn't clap, just bought them together.
The leader of the Darkfire ran as it thought that it had won, but then its eyes fell on Alice and Ann, it saw how easily they killed his S-ranked subordinates.
'We never had a chance!!' The leader of the Darkfires finally realized but it was too late to regret anything.
But then the leader felt its instincts flare up, warning him to run, but before it could realize why his senses flared up...
*BAAM*
It was crushed into at paste between two thick slabs made of stones.
One ca from its left while the other ca from its right, and the speed was so fast that it couldn't even react before it beca a at paste.
"Here I was, comparing a scardy cat to that wyvern…." Alex sighed.
He didn't like fights that were not fun, he didn't know why, but he wanted to face challenges.
He knew he was strong, but….
'It's as if I'm bored of being strong...' Alex muttered inwardly.
'I don't like restrictions, but sohow, I want them as well since I know only under restriction will I have the chance to enjoy myself.
I don't know what I want...' Alex was confused.
He didn't get why the restrictions that he hated were the only things that would be able to help him enjoy his fights.
'But well, it's not a restriction if I place them on myself,' Alex just shrugged.
He decided to leave for later.
Just then, he got a notification of a quest which caused him to raise his brow.
'Isn't the quest a bit late to arrive?' Alex questioned Sophia.
[No, it is not about the beasts, it is sothing else, and it is a new type of quest.]
Sophia replied, making Alex more curious.
Alex willed it and the quest screen popped up in front of him.
_____________________________________________
[Destiny Quest: -
Quest objective: Save Grace Steele and Lily Steele from their imminent deaths.
Quest reward: 80,000 points, (title) - Prince Charming, Gratitude of the Richest Man on Gaia.
Ti limit: 10 seconds.
Penalty: --]
'Wasn't the richest guy on Gaia, Argon?' This was the first question that ca to Alex's mind even though he could see the tir ticking.
It didn't matter to him who it was that he had to save, he wouldn't do it until he wanted to.
[Yes, but not right now. The system never gives out wrong information, so the person who is the richest in the world right now is Maximus Steele.]
'I see,' Alex nodded his head then he turned to look at the spot where Grace and Lily were at.
He could see them stunned, scared, trembling, panicking, etc.
He could see that the condition of the mother was not good and she needed healing, but it didn't affect him much, there were many people in the sa situation after all.
'What is this Destiny quest? Like the one that protagonists do? The one that people call plot?' Alex asked as he looked at a Darkfire who took notice of Grace and Lily and was now running towards them.
[Yes, it's like that, and you only got this quest because you are the protagonist of this world right now.]
'I see-' Alex stopped his words abruptly as his eyes t with Lily.
He could tell how scared that girl was from her eyes alone, he could see tears streaming down from them, and he could see the unspoken request in her eyes.
But that was not what made him pause, he saw sothing else, it was just for an instant, but he saw sothing flash inside the girl's eyes.
[Use your All-seeing eyes.]
Sophia urged and just as Alex did it, his eyes widened a bit.
'Is she….?' Alex asked for confirmation.
[Yes, she is a reincarnation of soone who is not from this world.]
Sophia spoke, but inside the system space, she had her fists clenched.
'Why her?!' She scread inwardly.
Alex didn't wait anymore after Sophia's confirmation; he dashed toward Lily and Grace.
Although he was going to save them for the free 80,000 points before, now, he was saving them because of Lily.
He didn't know why, but he felt like he was familiar with the person Lily was before, after all, he did see a flash of that said person when he used his All-seeing eyes.
