'Huh?! A dragon?'' Alex was shocked and speechless by the appearance of this figure, for some reason, he felt like he knew this figure.
When he was about to open his mouth to say something, the figure of a dragon morphed into that of a man much to Alex's dismay.
It was the figure of someone he felt like he had seen once. He seemed to have fought this person before, to where Alex was unable to remember. Just as he was about to try remembering the man spoke.
''Welcome to the Abyss Alexander Kael Touch!"
''Thanos!!!'' Alex shouted the name of the man making the latter expression change but only for a moment.
''Ugh!'' Alex felt a splitting headache as if someone was playing with his brain using a scalpel.
''My! My! How surprising!'' Thanos said before flicking his fingers and Alex fell unconscious.
Right before it happened Alex could have sworn that Thanos's figure changed into someone else but he was unable to see this figure's features before his consciousness was sent somewhere.
?????
It was inside an arena, Alex was facing a young man with white hair.
Alex had a mocking smile on his lips as he look down on this young man.
Evans lost control as his anger and hatred took over.
His magic power exploded like a raging volcano. A powerful aura burst and swept outwards.
He clenched his fists as a sword appeared in his hand. The sword shone brilliantly with lights.
Alex snickered. He took out his flaming sword from his item box.
The flaming sword spewed out a copious amount of blaze. The arena immediately rose in temperature.
"It is a powerful item, a SSS Armament!"
The crowd gasped while Evans' face turned red.
He didn't blush because of the heat. He was ashamed.
Alex was wielding a SSS Armament while Evans brandished a SS Armament.
It felt like Evans a poor noble or a beggar who struck it rich.
He detected this change in mood and Evans was not too happy about it.
If he waited some time, his father would have given him a SSS Armament.
Alas, he lost control of himself and challenged Alex, he created this mess himself.
He started questioning himself over the timing of his challenge.
"Hmph…"
He resisted the urge to chug his sword away. He growled with a dark look.
"I only need a SS Armament to take you down!"
Alex started laughing out loud. He tossed his Flaming sword away.
Then, a stream of iron sand flowed out of his item box.
He formed an iron sword with the stream of iron sand.
With his sword pointed at the ground, Alex didn't say anything. He just beckoned Evans with a finger gesture.
That blew Evans' mind, making him enraged.
Swoosh!
Evans lunged at Alex with his sword clad in mana.
Alex didn't move out of the way or make any defensive maneuvers. He waited until the blade was dangerously close before parrying it with a mighty flick of his sword.
Ding!
He parried the attack in an instant. An intense gust exploded outwards.
With another collision, Evans appeared from within the fray.
Fwoosh!
The ensuing force acted on two duelists' bodies. They had different reactions.
The shockwave staggered Evans while Alex grinned. The hand holding his sword trembled.
It was obvious who was stronger between the two duelists.
Alex didn't only get a boost in levels.
"This bastard!"
Evans clenched his teeth.
He flexed his arm to steady his shivering hands.
"You have barbaric strength."
Alex raised an eyebrow in response. He hooked his index finger, gesturing for Evans to try again.
Laughing in seething rage, Evans disappeared in a blur. The next moment, he was already in front of Alex.
He started a slashing storm, each slash was aimed at Alex's vital parts.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Looking at the slashes, Alex narrowed his eyes. He stepped backward, dodging all the slashes with razor-thin margins.
Evans was mad with hatred. He smashed down on his hilt, sending his sword slicing toward Alex's chest.
When the sword almost touched his chest, a hand arcing with lightning grabbed the sword.
Evans quickly let go of the sword, he raised his fists overhead, charging them with Earth's mana to make them more powerful (A/N: He is using the Earth element). He smashed down at Alex's chest.
He was planning to kill Alex with each attack.
Alex's eyes became cold. A magical force rippled outwards. The ripple stopped Evans for a brief moment.
He struck.
He didn't use a teleportation ability. Instead, he used pure speed to close the distance between the two duelists.
"!!!"
Evans quickly recovered. He unleashed a right hook.
Boom!
Alex mirrored his attack. His magical powers overwhelmed Evans's enhancements.
Crack!
Evans groaned, he heard something cracking in his fist.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down the side of his head. The intense pain told him that crack wasn't a hallucination. He tried to punch with his other fist. Earthen mana poured out from him.
To this, Alex just grabbed his fist without using any skills but only purely his physical strength. He stopped the attack dead in its tracks.
Alex's cold and scornful look turned Evans pale as a ghost.
"Please, bring out more of your true power."
His playful smile went against the tightening fist grab, and Evans's fist started cracking again.
"This is starting to get unsightly for a Demigod don't you think so?"
The crowd gasped when they heard Alex's taunting comment.
They couldn't catch the attacks since it all happened too fast. However, they could see the trend of the fight.
Evans was the inferior fighter despite being in the same realm as Alex.
Alex didn't use any skill or magic. He used simple moves to suppress Evans.
How can the gap between Demigod individuals be so huge?
Didn't Princess Silveria's fiancée just enter the Demigod's realm? Maybe he's even stronger?
They exchanged confused looks. They could see the puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Barely twenty years old Demigods, that's already unheard of in all of this empire's history.
The crowd watched in bafflement. Finally, they started looking at Wu Yan like he was a freak of nature.
