Taking a deep breath, Alex opened his mouth.
”I will win.”
Facing Alex’s declaration full of confidence, the corners of Silveria’s lips couldn’t help but tilt upward as she replied.
”Sure!”
Suddenly, Alex felt a chill run down his back. He didn’t know exactly why either, but also fine hairs were standing on end. Without hesitation h,e crossed his arms.
Bang!
A kick aimed at his face got blocked by his arms. He was sent flying; he flipped in the air and nearly lost his footing when he landed. His hands were still buzzing from the impact, and his arms were numb!
In the place where he was, Silveria appeared with her slender leg raised; one would know that such a weak-looking leg carries so much power. One should know that Alex’s body had been tempered many times. The first time was when he ate the wyvern’s heart, the second time it was in Exodus after he finally integrated with the drop of Asura’s blood left by the crimson lady with whom he had a contract and the last time was last night when he finally rescued Nyx. Alex’s current body was not weaker than a pure-blooded dragon’s child, but to think that even with such terrific physics, he still suffered under Silveria’s casual kick.
The reason was too simple, as he had guessed back when she was born with this unusual ability, she beat most of her opponents until the day she lost against her sister, not because she was her unusual ability but because she easily discovered her weakness, she was weak at close combat. She used this weakness to beat her.
From that defeat, Silveria improved, she thought for a long time before deciding to train her physics, but even so, she still lost against those born with expectational physics. Then she had an idea; she could cut off others from using mana while she could still use mana; from a certain point of view, she was closer to the thing called mana than anybody; therefore, she could use it to do a lot of things, such a continuously strengthening her body through mana, thus was born mana strengthening. Millennia of constant mana strengthening had pushed her physics to an unimaginable level. So, she was not afraid of close combat; it would be a mistake to think she was weak physically.
She still lost against her sister; she had never won even once against her sister; she is a true monster. Her ability couldn’t work against her sister; she was the first person against whom her special ability could not really work; the second one was the Chaos prince. At first, Silveria could not understand, but after many years she finally concluded that it was because her sister and that man used another source other than mana in the universe; what source it was, she was still searching for it. After all, you can’t cut someone off if he was not on your network; it’s impossible.
Silveria shook her head to focus in front of her; one day, she would eventually find out that source and maybe access it; like that, she would cut them off and beat them. But for now, she must focus on her master; she was curious to see how Alex planned to injure her. Being one with the universe mana, she was its core, having access to an almost unlimited amount of mana; it was why she could constantly keep her domain active radius of four meters around her body. Her domain had become passive; she could increase the range at will, making the consumption of mana skyrocket and the physical burden increase as well. She would like to have Alex access to the mana like her, but she knew it was impossible because of their bodies; she was born with this gift, with this special body; she was an exception; nobody else had this kind of body, not even the Supreme beings.
Meanwhile, Alex wiped away the blood around his mouth and sighed. As expected, she was not weak in close combat; her physics was stronger than his own. This left him slightly disheartened; he thought he possessed the strongest physics in the family but guess what, he was not the strongest physically.
‘Well, I’m still growing.’ Alex tried to comfort himself while his brain was working quickly, formulating different scenarios to win this win. But he was not finding anything.
Suddenly, the sound of gunshots rang out, forcing Alex awake. Without looking, he fired back.
Bang! Bang!
The two moved around firing at each; they seemed to perfectly understand each other as they fired simultaneously, their bullets clashing against each other. This was too fun. They moved around, dodging bullets firing bullets non-stop.
Then suddenly, Alex got an epiphany, what if he could use erase against her domain? It would be like fighting the fire using fire. At the same time, it was not really the same thing here, and he was sure that it would not really work; his brain thought of another solution, then another one. By combining all these solutions, he would have a chance to win.
p Immediately, Alex jumped back; he released all his strength, the floor shook violently; Silveria was unfazed in front of Alex’s full strength; she was even smiling. She was smiling because finally, Alex was about to go all out to win.
Crimson bullet!
BANG! BOOM!
The crimson bullet exploded right at the boundary of her domain, five meters from her position; the explosion was erased because it was composed of mana.
Alex accel-ed and appeared five meters from Silveria; he unleashed his domain, but it was soon canceled; he activated his time ability, but it was not easily canceled. Silveria frowned, and Alex smiled.
‘I won!’
“Asura’s Form”
BOOM!
An ancient aura exploded from Alex’s body as he took his Asura’s Form; he roared and unleashed his time ability, an ability related to Nyx.
Finally, Silveria decided to move; she aimed the silver gun at Alex and was about to fire when her eyes widened. Her domain was busy canceling Alex’s time ability when suddenly he fired a silver bullet downward.
Bang!
It was not the end; at the same time, he fired the bullet, he roared, unleashing Asura’s Might. Those attacks combined created a small crack in her perfect domain, and Alex used this chance; he pushed every once of mana he had into his right arm using multiple elements, wind element (thanks to Sleipnir), and his time element.
His right hand was so fast that it passed through the crack he smartly and painstakingly created to land on Silveria’s chest.
Time seemed to have been frozen; Silveria’s brain stopped functioning because she was too shocked; finally, time resumed.
BANG!
A sound resembling a gunshot rang out as Alex’s fist exploded against Silveria’s chest; she was pushed a couple of steps back.
The wall behind her exploded, and Alex lowered his head and smiled.
”I won.” He managed to squeeze out with difficulty.
