Bang!
A loud explosion rang in the air as Alice’s petite was swatted away by Alex’s punch. Alice flipped in the air and nearly lost her footing when she landed. She felt like throwing up; her stomach was churning violently; it took her a lot of strength to push back the gastric juices threatening to burst out from her stomach. She felt dizzy, out of the four, she never expected to be attacked first, so naturally, she was not prepared to defend against such attack, and it could be said that Alex did not hold back when he punched her; he used all his strength, it was because of Alice who possessed an extremely tough physics if not she would have suffered more than that except for the minor dizziness and the feeling of discomfort.
Alex, who suddenly attacked Alice and sent her flying, did not stop there he unleashed his special bullets, a white bullet followed by a red bullet.
White and red light burst forth, creating a powerful shockwave. The surrounding area was distorted; those closer to him, such as Sera and Lilith, were unable to withstand the shockwave, and were sent flying. Noire, who was slightly further away, was sent staggering.
Even with Alex’s quick reaction and attacks, the girls were not gravely wounded as they defended against his attacks at the last moment; they immediately launched their respective attack on Alex. Looking at the sky, Alex felt like a firework was about to happen, but unlike real fireworks, which was beautiful, this was deadly.
Taking a deep breath, he sighed before moving; he unleashed his natural speed coupled with his Time acceleration ability.
His figure was like a tilting doll as he swayed to the left and right. His movements were clean and precise. There were no unnecessary movements.
Suddenly, without looking back, Alex fired above his left shoulder.
BANG!
The gunshot rang out amidst the calm storm of attacks trying to swallow Alex; Sera, the elite assassin trying to use this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Alex, was forced to swing her sword downward with all her might, however to her utter horror, there was a second bullet behind the first one. She didn’t know how Alex could easily detect her presence; not only did she conceal her killing intent, she also used her secret skill capable of temporarily hiding her presence; unfortunately, she was still discovered in the end.
Just as she was about to fling the second bullet aside, the latter exploded, forcing her back. Alex immediately followed with another attack, this time, he neither used his gun nor a knife but the Eternal Chain instead.
Swollen!
The tip of the chain flew, cutting through the air like a silent reaper.
Puff!
Sera was unable to react as she didn’t feel the incoming chain presence at all; the black chain penetrated through her shoulder and greedily devoured her strength; she felt weakened in less than a second, but she was not going to sit idly and let the Eternal Chain swallow all her strength and vitality, she was about to attack with her sword when Alex dragged her forward, tossing her into Alice direction.
”Accel!”
Unexpectedly, the white-haired beauty used a skill similar to that of Alex’s movement skill; she vanished, letting Sera’s body crash on the ground; she rolled on the ground before trying to get up.
[Void Domain]
Finally, Noire acted seriously; the group was shifted out of Mysthia into a mysterious dark space; everywhere they looked, they were surrounded by the voids.
Alex was envious of this domain; he wondered if he could one have this type of domain; however, the most urgent thing to do right now was to win this fight. While the others were attacking, Lilith seemed to be preparing something.
Alice attacked, her sword cut through the void and disappeared; it was like Sakuya’s dimensional slash. He could feel a chill down his spine; unfortunately for them, he was their opponent; they seemed to have forgotten about his ability to shift things; being inside the void could not change anything.
”Shadow Shift!”
Alex switched places with Noire; she was shocked because it was her first time seeing such ability. Still, out of instinct, she reacted by erecting a void shield before her body.
”Crimson Bullet!”
BANG!
Alice and Sera knew how powerful this bullet was; a hastily built void shield could not stop the crimson bullet, one of Alex’s most destructive bullets.
They moved simultaneously and arrived before Noire; the three tried to stop the crimson bullet.
Kabooooom!
The void shook, and the three were sent; they vomited mouthfuls of blood. Noire and Sera broke their left and right arm, respectively, while Alice’s face was white as a sheet.
Because of the explosion, they were back in the real world again with the three lying on the ground but with a smile on their face.
Alex frowned upon seeing this; he felt uneasy, which was intensified by Artemia’s following words.
”Finally, the sword prodigy is back!”
The others beside her were curious, but they decided to wait because they had the feeling that the answer to this question would be revealed soon, and indeed they got the answer in the form of blinding light.
Lilith finally opened her eyes which shone in dark luster capable of freezing one soul.
Alex’s eyes narrowed, and he was ready to unleash his Asura’s Form again.
Lilith reached out to the sword hanging on her waist and mumbled.
”Sword Art Seventh Form: Lost City”
The fastest sword move in the Sword Art she created in her past life. The man was fast, and the sword was faster.
The man and the sword united as an integral whole!
In the silent underground, everything receded, but only a flash of sword light flew fiercely, and the power of the sword seemed to be capable of piercing the sky.
”Asura’s Form!”
Boom!
Alex did not hesitate and used his strongest ability, wrapping the Eternal Chain around his wrist he defended against the incoming sword strike.
Kiiiiinnn!
There was metallic sound that rang out inside the training ground when the two clashed, unexpectedly Alex was forced a couple of steps back, he was shocked but beyond this shock was the wish to win, to trample on Lilith’s sword, he had never expected her to be an expert Swordswoman, she didn’t look like one anyway.
Opening his mouth, Alex unleashed a mighty roar; the others immediately covered their ears to defend against his sonic attack.
Lilith was calm in front of the incoming attack; she knew she only had one sword move to execute; it was because her sword Arts consumed a lot of mana, which was why she didn’t like to use them often.
”Sword Art: Nine forms: Life and Death Severance!”
Suddenly, all the wind in the air faded away along with the disappearance of the sword intent.
But the aura of the blade was still spreading, just like the strongest will of a primordial beast. Then she swung her sword, Alex’s sonic attack was cut into two before vanishing.
Lilith fell on the ground while at the same a dagger appeared behind Alex without him knowing, so Sera thought.
”Always watch out for the assassin,” Alex said without looking back; with his left hand, he fired a bullet at point-blank range at Sera, who could not defend at all.
Bang!
Fortunately, it was a non-lethal bullet. If not, she would have died; Sera froze with a pale face. The fight ended up in Alex’s victory, but a victory which cost him a lot. Hiding his bleeding right hand, Alex declared.
”Let’s leave.”
