Chapter 776 - Alexs Fight
Chapter 776 - Alex\'s Fight
"I will be your opponent." Alex appeared before a 7-Star Martial Saint elder with a smile as if she was a dead person.
"You! This is blasphemy. How dare you do this to my sect?! I will kill you here." The middle-aged woman snarled as she took out a green sword.
Alex didn\'t say anything more and pointed both his weapons toward the elder. He activated his Spirit Eyes, observing this person\'s green energy that seemed to be a Wind Element. And with the freezing temperature in this place, she would practically have two elements… Unfortunately, Alex was her opponent.
"Snow Whirlwind." The elder waved her sword diagonally, releasing a torrential freezing wind toward Alex.
"…" Alex observed the wind with his Spirit Eyes and activated his Spirit Step and Dragon Aura. With this additional strength, Alex released his own attack in the form of a fire phoenix.
"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon."
As usual, he always used his Fire Authority to enhance his fire-based attack, including this one. Its strength had become far higher, matching an attack from 7-Star Martial Saint.
"Boom!"
The red hot heat clashed with the freezing wind. Normally, the heat would brush away with this wind and the temperature. And yet, the conclusion came as a complete surprise. The phoenix circled around the freezing wind and burned the wind itself, warming the snow until it evaporated.
When the wind reached its weakest state, the shock wave coming from Alex\'s strength that had been boosted by the two techniques suddenly cut open the wind, neutralizing them.
It was at this time, Alex leaped toward the elder and slashed his sword forward.
"Kh!" The elder parried this attack with her green sword, only to find the strength difference between them. "This power! No!"
The elder realized that Alex\'s strength was as monstrous as his Pure Fire. At first, she thought it was normal that her ice lost because of his Pure Fire, but Alex\'s strength alone was equal if not surpassing his Pure Fire at the moment.
Alex used this chance to blow her away as far as possible to get their own fighting space. After all, the fight here would surely be a big fight, and their priority target would be him. If that happened, the spirits would have no choice other than helping him, and Alex certainly wouldn\'t want to see something like this.
Hence, he distanced himself from the others, having confidence in winning this one on one battle.
"Elder Rui!" One of the 9-Star Martial Saints shouted as she leaped toward her. She had the advantage due to her two stars difference strength, so she wanted to help the elder and dealt with Alex, but Leoz suddenly appeared not far from her and slashed his big sword.
"Thunder Spirit Slash!"
"!!!" The elder opened her eyes wide, never expecting Leoz to have this strength. She looked at his horns and tried to deflect this attack.
"Twin Blades!" She took out another sword from her space ring and used her strength to block this attack, only to find herself got stopped completely by the person in front of her.
At the same time, the other 9-Star Martial Saint elder looked at their ancestor and the sect master. The ancestor seemed to gain an advantage in fighting Letizia with that blood ice, but the sect master was equal to Viola.
Because of this, she thought about assisting Elder Rui to capture their boss.
"Thousand Ice Spike!" She trusted her sword toward Jeanne\'s neck. The ice spike began to form one after another as if it was growing from the sword.
"…" Jeanne didn\'t say anything and blocked this attack with her two short swords, but she realized it pushed her back.
She soon saw the elder turned around, heading toward Alex. Because of this, she shifted her body to the right and spun her body to use that inertia force to gain momentum before she launched herself by stepping on the ice itself.
The elder suddenly glanced at her right and slashed her sword, only to find it blocked by Jeanne\'s short sword.
"You are not qualified to interfere in Master\'s fight." Jeanne smirked as she pointed her other sword toward her neck. "Ethereal Lightning Body Second Charge, Bullet!"
Lightning started gathering around her sword and released a small ball at lightning speed.
"Tch!" The elder clicked her tongue as she tilted her head to the side, avoiding this attack. However, her advance also came to a halt, and Jeanne blocked her way toward Alex.
She looked at Anna and Artur, who seemed to be able to control their enemies more efficiently since it was only a one star difference.
Meanwhile, Alex glanced at the others\' conditions before looking down at the elder who was on the ground. He just buried her in the snow by blasting her into it. However, he saw a stream of energy flying to the right and made a curve before ultimately heading toward him.
When the attack pierced through the snow mist, Alex could see a snowball coming toward him.
He released his shield instead of an attack after learning the true nature of the attack. As soon as the snowball hit his shield, a few powerful wind shock waves flew out, trying to cut Alex.
Alex didn\'t have a change of expression when watching this as he raised both of his weapons, thrusting them downwards at the same time.
"Mythical Spear Cannon!"
The elder summoned a few wind blades as they flew toward Alex\'s two laser-like attacks.
The Mythical Spear Cannon that had been strengthened by his Pure Fire and Absolute Blade Intent tried to pierce through these wind blades, but as expected from a 7-Star Martial Saint. The attacks halted for a few seconds before it dissipated.
"Is an elder this weak?" Alex muttered to himself. He remembered how hard he fought when he entered Martial Saint, but he almost forgot that the ones he fought were abnormal monsters. In other words, it wasn\'t the elder that was too weak, but the monsters were too strong.
And for Alex, who had been catching up with all those powerful beings, this elder in front of her got suppressed pretty easily. But as one would expect from someone like her, she stood back without a single injury, looking at Alex with the intention to kill.
She couldn\'t win against this monster in human clothing without this kind of intention. Alex would seriously become their biggest threat as soon as he became an 8-Star Martial Saint. She had no doubt that he would become invincible at that time.
She even thought that their ancestor couldn\'t catch up with Alex\'s growing speed. Even though it was blasphemy to think that way, she believed it was best to think it like that to face Alexander Sirius. Everyone who had faced him so far would suggest something like that if they still desired revenge.
Alex\'s expression turned serious when he realized the killing intent. She seemed to have prepared to disobey her ancestor\'s words to bring him alive.
The elder suddenly jumped toward him and swung her sword.
"Wind Breaker!"
Alex squinted his eyes as he noticed the hidden torrential current behind this powerful wind. And the moment it almost reached him, the wind split up into five, trying to cut him to pieces.
"Triple Draws." Alex didn\'t find this troublesome because his Triple Draws and two weapons were just too awesome. The sword and spear blasted the five winds and the elder\'s sword.
"!!!" The elder dropped her jaw. This technique always gave her an advantage when fighting someone. Although the attack itself wasn\'t that powerful, the number should be able to take the enemy by surprise. And yet, not a single of them managed to reach Alex.
This might be the first time for her. After all, she created this technique as the condition to move to Sword Emperor. In other words, her Original Sword Technique.
Watching her expressions, Alex didn\'t let her go and tried to send a counterattack by summoning a few fire swords in his surroundings. It had even been enhanced by his Fire Authority.
"Die." Alex smirked as he made his sword fly toward them. He couldn\'t be harmed by this fire anyway, so it was a good move for this.
"Don\'t underestimate me!" The elder gritted her teeth, getting angry over his relaxed expression. She swung her sword and created a wind sphere.
Feeling the strong breeze, he used it to blow him away and let the swords attack her.
*Boom Boom Boom!*
A series of explosions hit the wind sphere before the intense flame burned the wind bit by bit.
Alex knew he couldn\'t fight for too long because the people must have noticed the battles here by now. Hence, he raised his weapons, slipped between the gap of the wind where his fire burned and waved his weapons, releasing six sword waves simultaneously.
"Mythical Fire Slash."
"!!!" The elder got shocked once more by this powerful attack. Alex\'s previous attacks had been stronger than the norms, but this one was the strongest one she had ever seen.
"Wind Breaker!" Knowing that she couldn\'t escape unscathed, she chose to deflect these six powerful sword waves with her winds altogether.
Alex simply smiled as he watched her hit the sword waves with her wind. The intense heat immediately burned the wind, making it easier to cut. Due to the original powerful cutting power of this technique, all six sword waves destroyed her wind.
"Not good!" The same applied to her. She took on the farthest one because she didn\'t want to be situated between the sword waves, but she realized it was the right decision when Alex\'s sword wave, the one that she parried with her own sword, started pushing her back.
Behind her was a wall of fire, and in front of her was this sword wave. On her right was Alex\'s other five sword waves. Only on her left had nothing. Hence, knowing that the sword wave would kill her if she didn\'t move, she let it cut her right hand before she grabbed the sword with her left hand and leaped to the left.
Alex smiled as he also thought the same. He came to that direction and waved his sword.
"Heaven Light Slash!"
The elder widened her eyes. Now that she lost her main hand, she wouldn\'t be able to contain Alex\'s strength. And when she glanced at her back, she knew Alex would launch her to the sword waves.
"I only have one chance…" The elder gritted her teeth and swung her sword. She planned to use this swing to fake her movement. If she could stop the momentum for a split second and launched herself to the sky, she might not escape unscathed, but she would definitely survive.
That was why she used every ounce of strength she could gather in her off hand and swung it.
It was at this time, Alex smiled like a devil as he knew what she wanted to do.
Just like how she needed a split second to escape, he also needed a split second to kill her.
"Space Bind."
"Space Plate."
Tentacles appeared in the space world, binding her off hand. At the same time, the Space Plates stopped the sword with its body.
This sudden restriction stopped her for a split second. Even if she could instantly destroy both attacks, she wouldn\'t survive.
Alex smiled and completed his swing, splitting the elder into two.
"This…" The elder noticed at the last second what kind of sorcery Alex used to stop her movement. However, she couldn\'t say anything before she fell down from the air.
Meanwhile, on Letizia\'s side.
"Blood Phoenix Bleed!" The ancestor released another red-colored ice phoenix toward Letizia.
"Ice Oscillation Wave!" Letizia did the same technique to destroy this phoenix, albeit barely. Because of this Blood Ice, she couldn\'t gain the upper hand in this battle.
"Hmph! You are pretty good. It\'s a shame that I am stuck with this body instead of yours. Never mind, you are going to be miserable after this because—"
Before she could finish her words, she turned around and slashed her sword.
"You want to make her miserable? Have you asked my permission?" A man\'s voice echoed as he struck her sword, blowing her to the ground.
"Boom!"
"Master!"
