''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.
While everyone stared at Alex like he was a real monster, Silveria was the only one who looked like this outcome was only natural.
Evans heard Alex's remark filled to the brim with contempt, ignoring what others had to say, his body started trembling as blood rushed to his head. His eyes looked like they belonged to a deranged person.
Evans's mana started flowing chaotically.
"Don't look down on me!!!"
His mana exploded once more. He concentrated his them on the fist Alex was holding.
Boom!
Alex only raised an eyebrow when he felt this power surge. He released Evans's hand before countering with a jab at his chest.
Bang!
Evans's body flashed with mana, and his mana's cloak condensed near the point of impact, blocking Alex's punch.
Earthen-colored orbs floated around him. After thwarting Alex's punch, he started bellowing with a pair of malevolent eyes. He unleashed all the boiling negativities within him.
"You're just the fiancee of a princess! Don't get cocky with me you mongrel!"
Clad in violent streams of earthen mana, Evans stared at Alex. He willed for his arming sword to fly back into his hand. In a flash, he disappeared after showing Alex an evil grin.
Alex simply pursed his lips. He stepped slightly to the left.
At the same time, Alex moved, an arming sword burning with earthen mana shot past where his shoulders were. The arming sword flew towards the crowd, if they didn't move out of the way in time somebody was going to get seriously hurt.
The arming sword decelerated before turning back. It flew towards Alex once more.
Alex heard the sword flying towards him. He stepped to the right. The sword missed again.
He then grabbed the grip of the sword.
Alex batted the sword at his side.
Evans got slammed as he didn't expect Alex to counter his sudden attack.
Bam!
Like a kite with its string cut loose, Evans got thrown into the distance.
"Damn!"
Steadying himself rather unsteadily, he finally stopped after a few steps. He was not looking too good. Evans leered at Alex with absolute loathing.
"It's not over yet!"
He growled. With bloodshot eyes, he took out another arming sword after backing off.
He burst forward in a black blur. Suddenly stopping, Evans released his sword before doing a roundhouse kick on the sword's pommel.
Fwoosh!
Like a bolt of black lightning, the blade got shot in Alex's direction.
Alex jumped. When he landed, he leaped off the sword that just passed under his feet. Like a ghost, he appeared in front of Evans.
Evans's eyes gleamed, and he charged mana into his arming sword.
The arming sword started shining like a crystal sword. He slashed at Alex.
Alex frowned at the crystal blade.
Alex raised a fist, his fist was clad in lightning, glowing bluish-white with the might of the storms.
He smashed his fist into the crystal sword. At first, the arming sword shook, then cracks appeared before the sword shattered into a million pieces.
"What the hell?!"
Evans gasped.
A SS Armament got punched into smithereens?!
How is that possible?!
Alex grinned. He unleashed a quick draw with his iron sword. The sword expanded into a long whip.
Whish!
The iron sand whip struck Evans on his chest. The sound of something cracking came from Evans' torso.
"Garguh!"
He screamed in agony when the strike broke his ribs. Next, he couldn't finish his groan before a lightning-clad fist went for his face. There was no mercy behind this strike.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely on Evans' stomach.
Not even giving Evans room to breathe, a flurry of lightning punches rained down on him.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!!!
His mana aura diminished with each blow. Finally, his earthen mana armor got destroyed.
With steely eyes, Alex punched Evans in the face again.
Bam!
This time, the attack connected.
Splash!
With a mouthful of blood and a few teeth, he was sent flying like a broken kite. He landed heavily against the platform.
The impact cracked the platform which even a normal Saint realm expert would find hard to smash. Spiderweb-patterned cracks could be seen when he landed.
Evans bounced up as he spat out more blood. His throat got grabbed as Alex suspended him in the air.
Evans's pupils shrank. Fear finally appeared for the first time in a while.
It was the same result as when they first met. Alex decimated his knight squad and left him practically emasculated in terms of honor. Right now, Alex had him by his neck.
Dozens of days later, after becoming a Demigod just like Alex, he still couldn't change his lose-streak.
Evans finally understood.
The person grabbing his neck never took him seriously.
From the start of this duel until now.
Alex pursed his lips despite Evans's apparent dread. He tossed Evans like a bag of oversized trash.
Bam!
Drawing a pathetic trail of blood and other bodily fluids, Evans couldn't escape his fate of getting slammed into the ground once more.
Evans went limp. His eyes were wide open but his soul wasn't in them. Fear had gripped his core.
Complete defeat, he could never beat this man in his life.
There was a moment of silence before the crowd burst into an uproar, chanting Alex's name.
Normally, he should have been happy as he managed to defend his honor but currently, Alex stood there in a daze.
'Wake up! That's not right you're slowly changing getting devoured by all of this, enough already.'
It was a voice coming from the deepest part of his soul and he couldn't be more familiar with this voice as it belongs to him.
Alex opened his eyes, and looked at the excited crown, at Silveria and the others before opening his mouth and uttering a single word.
''E.N.O.U.G.H!''
Crack!!!!!
BANG!
