Eight and Nine got frightening by Alex's stare; those red and blue eyes weren't something humans should possess.
Although fear took hold of their heart like that time they saw an angered Zero, they had learned how to handle it; they bit their lower lip to regain control of their bodies. And Eight shot forward; his body seemed to have become taller as he tried to punch Alex; Nine decided to assist Eight in erasing Alex, people may call it unfair, but there's nothing unfair in a fight, especially when your life was at stake.
Eight's punch whistled through the air covered in dark purple flame; the vegetation got instantly dried up; Nine unsheathed her short sword and was about to use it.
Facing the incoming fist, Alex was strangely calm; he looked at the fist that seemed to carry the world with a total indifference; not even Nine's action hadn't escaped his sight.
''Time Manipulation.'' He simply muttered.
Eight got shocked because his speed fell drastically; his immediate thought was to fall back; however, this soon proven to be impossible, then he saw it.
''Deluge of Heaven Punch!!!"
Alex announced and sent punches forward if Eight's punch looked like a mountain; Alex's punches were a small piece of rock; however, what it carried surpass even a mountain. Because Eight was still under the Time Manipulation influence, the Heaven Punch seemed godly, and soon they struck Eight's body.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
It was like someone was tapping on gigantic war drums; each punch sent Eight flying, until he disappeared from Alex's sight. All the bones inside his body got reduced into fine pieces.
Nine was so shocked that she unconsciously lowered her sword; she couldn't believe that an Early Rank 10 got down so easily. She knew Eight was dead; there was no doubt about it; now it was her turn.
''One last ant!"
Alex said as he turned around.
Nine's pupils dilated as, at the exact same moment, he appeared before her and grabbed her head.
Bam!
He thrashed her face into the ground, bursting it with pieces of stones and mud. Before she could release a cry, Alex pulled her out and tossed her into the air. He followed her in the air, his knee crashing into her belly.
Her mouth fell open, and blood sprayed out.
She tumbled to the ground, her body convulsing with pain.
"Ple…please spare me!" Nine begged. The pain had wiped out all haughtiness, replacing it with the sensation of approaching death. Forgotten was the day she thought she was a chosen being; forgotten was the feeling of being superior to everyone except her comrades.
"And why would I do such a thing?"
Alex asked as he slowly approached her like the grim reaper. He might not be wielding a scythe, but that only made him appear far more menacing.
''You seemed indifferent as you watched those people getting shredded to pieces. Do you think of yourself as God? Do you think you are superior just because you go brainwashed and got a little power? That you can treat everyone as grasses? Well, if you superior being then I'm the Supreme one.''
Nine kept shuddering; she even peed herself; the amount of killing intent Alex was releasing was so frightening that it wiped out Nine's fighting spirit; it was like Alex had slaughtered dozen thousands of people.
Even Alex himself didn't know that it was his killing intent affecting Nine to such an extent, he was truly angry.
The reason behind his heavy killing intent was simple. However, he had not even killed thousands of people (monsters included); they exist, someone who had, the one that got the Death Goddess title; due to the extreme anger, Alex entered into a certain mode that let him borrow a bit of Nyx's killing intent.
BANG!
''Giahhh!!"
Nine cried of intense pain after Alex fired a Phantom bullet at her legs, blowing them up; nothing was left until the knee, then followed by the arm.
BANG!
''Gugiaah!"
BANG!
''Gu!!!"
The remaining arm was destroyed as well; Nine suffered so much pain that her voice got numb. Silveria's tempered with the bullets to induce terrible pain, no matter what kind of training you receive; if you can feel the slightest pain, then this would be multiple with each bullet. Therefore after getting hit by three bullets, Nine's pain receptor multiplied three times, making her lose her mind; she was drooling.
Looking at Nine pathetic existence, her body twitching in her own blood, vomit, and other stuff, Alex decided to end it; he didn't particularly enjoy torture, just that he must to have these men experience at least ten percent of what the people they have sacrificed feel.
BANG!
A last final bullet to relieve Nine of her eternal suffering, she vowed to be a good girl in her next life if she ever got the chance.
The phantom bullet blew Nine's head away, making her body stop twitching.
The remaining people looked at Alex with fear. However, in their hearts they were grateful for Alex's assistance, they couldn't help but draw away when Alex looked at them, it couldn't be helped they were just normal people, seeing so much violence, first was their brethren, now the ones responsible for the tragedy were killed in a pretty ruthless fashion, they couldn't be blamed for feeling scared, what if this man turn to them after he was done. They had forgotten what this same man said when Nine begged to be spared, humans are like that, so Alex was not really surprised, not that he expected something as he stepped forward to save the remaining people, he would choose not to do anything but that would be a terrible thing to do, he had not completely changed to the point of becoming indifferent in the case of situation like these, call it being softhearted if you want, but he knew what he must. He mustn't do; he would be ruthless to anybody that tries to harm him or his loved ones.
''Stay on this island, do not try leaving; it must be safer here.''
Leaving these words behind, Alex stepped into the rainbow-colored portal, which had somehow opened.
Johnny and the other watched Alex, and the portal vanished. They decided to follow Alex's advice.. At the same time, Johnny thought that he must get stronger.
