Drakin was not a fool, rather, he was smarter than his peers.
He knew where to speak and where not to, he knew where he needed to hold his head high and where not to, and over everything, he knew how to gauge his opponent's intentions.
So, when he heard Alice's words saying that Alex had kept his power suppressed, he was stunned for a while.
'Soone dared to keep their power suppressed in front of …...?'
For Drakin, who had never seen soone trying to suppress their power in front of him, this mont was like a slap on his face.
It was always him who went easy on his opponents, after all, it was extrely rare to find soone who was already an EX-ranker at the age of 17.
But after being stunned ca anger, and after ca out his bloodlust.
He wanted to teach Alex a nice lesson.
'I'm going to make you regret ever coming to this place.'
This change in expression was noticed by Alex, and he could tell that although the guy in front of him was a 17-year-old guy, he was soone who had killed his fair share of people.
'Oh?'
That is what made him raise his brows, after all, bloodlust was not sothing that anyone could emit.
"Co, let give you a lesson, your last lesson:
'Just because you are strong doesn't an you are the strongest.'
Rember that in your next life."
Alex just shook his head as he heard the third-rate villain-like line coming out of Drakin's mouth.
But Alex didn't move, he just stood in his place relaxedly.
At first, Drakin waited but then he growled.
"If you're not coming at , then I will co at you!"
Drakin roared as he rushed toward Alex, Alice, and Ann.
'One, two, or three, I will take care of all of them!'
He roared inwardly as he rushed toward them with heavy steps.
*Boom**Boom**Boom*….
His steps caused the ground to tremble, but none of them affected Alex.
Alex just stood still as if waiting for sothing, and the mont he was waiting for finally arrived.
'Temporal Pause.'
Alex muttered inwardly and a colorless do started expanding with Alex as the center.
Now so would think: Wasn't the range of temporal pause 500 ters?
The answer is yes, it was, but temporal pause is an EX-ranked skill, and right now the opponent Alex is facing is of EX-rank as well, which makes it harder for Alex to use his skill on Drakin.
Alex could still have used the skill without a problem if he had his powers free of restrictions.
Temporal pause is an EX-rank skill, but that didn't an that it wouldn't work on anyone over EX-rank or it would be hard to control EX-rankers with it.
Everything depends on the power difference.
If Alex had his epic rank stats, right now, then pausing Drakin wouldn't have been a big deal, but for now, it was.
'I need him to be as close as possible for the temporal pause to work on him better.'
Alex was waiting for Drakin to co closer so that he could use the most concentrated temporal pause in the 10-ter range and pause Drakin for whatever seconds he could.
'Not like it would take much ti to kill him….'
Alex muttered as he saw the colorless do passing through Drakin.
'Hm?'
But there was sothing that surprised Alex.
'He could sense it?'
Alex could see that at the last mont, Drakin's eyes went wide as if he saw sothing that he didn't want to believe.
'Hm, did I miss sothing in him?'
Alex thought as he activated his All-seeing eyes once again.
'Oh? He has ti affinity, although it's negligible, but he still has it.'
It didn't take Alex to find out the reason for Drakin to react that way.
'But why didn't I find it the first ti….?'
Alex was still confused about as to why he couldn't find it the first ti.
Confused as he was, Alex didn't waste ti thinking about it as he knew that Drakin would soon be free of the pause, more so when Drakin already knew that he was under a ti-type ability's influence.
Alex looked at Drakin…
'What should I use?'
He had so many abilities that could kill Drakin, but then his eyes brightened as he thought of the ability that was one of his favorite abilities recently.
*Woosh*
Alex waved his hand, causing a wooshing sound to be heard, but that was all, nothing else happened.
*Snap**Crack*
Alex snapped his finger, and the do that was covering everyone broke like a piece of glass.
*Thud*
Just as Alice and Ann were looking at Drakin who was standing still in his place, Drakin's body fell to the ground with a thud.
*Roll*
Then his head rolled down from above his shoulders, toward them.
"You used temporal pause, right?"
Ann asked since just like Drakin, Alice and Ann were paused as well, they were under heavier restrictions actually, after all, they were standing right beside Alex, so they didn't know what happened.
'Plunder his mories, skills, affinities, and bloodline.'
Alex commanded inwardly while he smiled at Ann.
"Yes."
"You should've warned us!"
Alice spoke with a pout.
"You guys do know that you could've broken free if you wanted to, you just had to use your bloodline abilities, right?"
Alice and Ann's eyes widened in realization before they looked away in embarrassnt.
Embarrassed about the fact that they didn't know they could do that.
"I guess I need to 'train' you guys harder from now on…"
Alex muttered with a grin as his arms snaked through both of their waists at the sa ti.
"Be ready."
He growled in a low voice as he pressed them closer into himself.
"Un."
Both Alice and Ann just nodded their heads in with a low hum.
They had their heads down so it was hard to tell but there was a silly smile on both of their faces.
'It worked!' X2
Both of them exclaid inwardly.
Unlike what they pretended like, they actually knew that they could break free of the temporal pause if they used their bloodline abilities.
But they still didn't do it and they even pretended like they didn't know about it because they knew what Alex would do, and they wanted Alex to do just that.
Alex just smiled as he shook his head.
How could Alice and Ann know that Alex could see their ploy from a mile away?
He trained them, after all, he knew what they could do and what they couldn't.
But how would he call himself a man if he backed down now?
They just walked out of the gate while storing Drakin's corpse in their storage ring.
To everyone outside, it would be breaking news that the gate was cleared, but for them, this SSS-ranked gate was like just any other gate.
It was nothing special.
But what they were going to do together (the 'training') in the upcoming days was special for them….
