Taking a deep breath, Alex slowly muttered.
''Asura's Form!"
Boom!
A powerful aura burst out from Alex's body, sending the room into a frenzy, except for the bed where he was sitting; everything else inside the bedroom had been turned to dust.
Meanwhile, Alex grew taller; he was now standing two meters tall (), his black hair had turned crimson, his left eye crimson as well only his right eye remained ice blue. Alex could feel boundless strength coursing through his body; he felt invincible, clenching his fists, they emitted cracking sounds, just with his physics alone he could crush Grand Master and low-level Saint.
He knew he could maintain this state only for a few minutes, but it was more than enough to cause massacre when facing low-level enemies.
Suddenly Alex had an idea; he decided to check his status in the Asura's Form; he was shocked by what he saw.

As expected, his status went up, the increase in stats was drastic, with 4000 points in the attack's stat. One minute had passed, and his mana decreased by 200 points, meaning he could maintain the Asura's Form for 6 minutes. This duration would have increased if he had used mana's body to boost his mana temporarily; it was worth trying.
Alex suddenly punched the air before him.
BANG!
His punch was so powerful that it felt like a bullet had cut through the air; this feeling of strength was exhilarating. In this form, his senses were sharper; he could detect the slightest movement in the air; he was sure that without relying on his Divine Sense, he would be able to locate any enemy within twenty feets easily.
His lips were curled slightly, showing a faint smirk. He wanted to test his skills, and to do this; sparring matches would be welcomed.
Outside his room, one of the maids was passing by when suddenly she froze; she felt a chill run down her back. She didn't know exactly why either, but all of her fine hairs were standing on end. For a rank 8 to feel something like this, there must be a powerful expert outside, hurriedly the maid left the area to inform one of her mistresses about what just happened.
Maria and the others laughed when they heard the maid's words; they immediately understood that it must be Alex had released his strength, and the maid passing by got affected.
''Don't worry, there's no enemy nearby; it was your master,'' Maria informed, and the maid nodded, but inwardly she was shocked, to think their always smiling and gentle master could emit such a scary aura, she felt chill just by remembering what she felt a moment ago. She excused herself and left.
''I want to fight him to see how strong he became, most importantly I want to see for how many minutes I can last.'' Kuina harbored no thought of winning; she knew her capabilities the best, she had never won when they were almost equal in level, so naturally, it was not now that the difference had widened that she would have a chance of winning.
Leon smiled, showing his canines; among those present, he was the one that wanted to spar with Alex the most; his chance of winning was almost zero, but his blood was boiling just at the thought of fighting a strong opponent, his rival. He would catch up to him soon; he was almost closer to the next Rank, Rank 14; most of those present were closer to that level as well.
''Gracier, call your brother; we will begin the meeting.'' Maria urged Alexandra to call Alex, like the others she also wants to spar against Alex, they would use this opportunity to gauge their levels before the rescue mission.
Shortly Gracier, who left, came back with Alex; after greeting the others, they ate their breakfast before moving into the meeting hall.
''What is the plan, Alex?"
Leon was the one to ask; the others stayed silent; they wanted to know the answer as well.
Instead of answering Alex asked Maria a question.
''Maria, have you contacted your master yet?''
Maria nodded, but her expression was gloom.
''I tried.'' It was the first thing she did upon their return, but she could not contact Freya; no matter how many times she tried, she was unable to connect with her master's communication stone.
''I see,'' Alex said before his eyes landed on Sera, the latter immediately understood what he wanted to ask, and she shrugged her shoulders; the same thing happened to her too; she was unable to contact her former master.
''That's odd!" Alex frowned; the situation was odd; for Elseria and Armstrong to be unreachable, something must have happened.
Suddenly, Alex remembered something and his eyes shone, he searched through his item box and brought out a shining purple stone, the moment the others saw this stone they eyes shone in turn because they knew what this stone was for, it's a special communication stone capable of working everywhere, it is an extremely rare stone.
''I will use this purple stone to contact Elseria.''
Alex declared before injecting mana into the purple stone.
