Chapter 276: CHAPTER 276 - The Might of Demon Generals.
Asura's are known for their superior physical powers, and without a doubt, they are one of the strongest races in that aspect.
So, if one of them grew strong enough to be called a demon general, just how much brute force would his punch carry?
Well, Alex could be able to answer that question right now….
'Fuck! It feels like I'm still a mortal and a truck crashed into me!'
Alex yelled in his mind as he tried to stabilize his vision and body.
Malak's punch was strong enough to stun Alex. Right now, Alex was unable to see clearly, and his body was uncontrollably hurtling through the air.
His face was smashed in, and his skull was cracked.
Golden blood was dripping from his smashed face, though it was healing pretty fast—or in an instant, actually—but yeah, it was healed the moment it happened.
Malak might have thought that his punch didn't do anything, if not for the fact that he heard the cracking of Alex's skull along with the golden blood covering his fist.
'Fucking monster….'
Malak cursed inwardly when he saw Alex's face heal in an instant.
He had already seen Alex's monstrous healing power before, it was stronger than any beast he had seen before, even a phoenix couldn't heal that quickly.
'It would be hard for me to defeat him alone….'
Malak accepted it.
Alex was strong enough for him to not be able to defeat him alone, not until he put his life on the line.
But….
'I'm not alone, though.'
For the first time, a toothy grin appeared on his face, and Alex who saw that grin, frowned his brow.
'What's he up to-'
Alex's thoughts were interrupted...
*Woosh**Woosh*
... as Alex sensed some movements below the ground with his perception, but before he could make out anything about it, whooshing sounds were heard.
'Shit!'
By the time Alex found out what it was, it was already too late.
*Pierce**Pierce*
"Arghh!"
Alex twisted his body, avoiding some of the bone spikes, but many of them pierced his body.
He was able to save his heart and brain, but his body was now stuck on a wall made of bones.
Alex's eyes scanned for the culprit and he found Morvan looking at him with a cold expression before she waved her hands again.
*Crack**Snap*
The bones started to bend, trying to bury Alex like a roll, but Alex was ready this time.
Alex's eyes widened, and he hurriedly moved his body.
*Boom*
With a wave of his hand, he broke the spikes that were still piercing him, causing his body to fall toward the ground, but before he could fall to the ground, something happened again.
'Not again….'
Alex muttered this frustration as he had another punch coming straight to his face, but...
*Boom*
That punch didn't stop and sent him straight up in the air.
However, this time, Alex's adaptability had already made him immune to the pain from Malak's punch, so he wasn't stunned.
He cautiously looked around, waiting for the bone spikes to arrive again, but...
*Sling*
The sound of a blade being drawn was heard, but Alex had already seen the owner of the blade.
With Alex's all-seeing eyes, he could clearly see Nyx, who moved silently, thinking that he was hidden.
Alex had been keeping an eye on Nyx from the start, so when he heard the blade-drawing sound, and felt the killing intent emanating from Nyx, he turned around with a swift move, and threw his fist toward Nyx.
'What!'
Nyx, on the other hand, was shocked by Alex's moves, and so were other demons.
'How could he locate Nyx?'
All of them frowned, but they didn't stop.
"His eyes…"
Valerius was the first to realize the reason for Alex to be able to make out Nyx's location.
Other demons sharpened their eyes, but they didn't stop.
*Boom*
And with another sonic boom, Nyx was sent crashing into the ground.
However, Alex forgot the saying, 'Never turn your back on an enemy'.
*Swoosh**Swoosh**Crackle*
Bone, fire, water, and thunder arrows were launched at him from behind as Malak, Morvan, and Valerius launched them at Alex.
Alex turned to face the attack, but he was a bit slow in turning, and the next second...
*Boom**Boom**Boom*
All of those attacks exploded over his body, blasting him toward the ground.
Nyx, who was supposed to be lying on the ground after Alex smashed him toward the floor, was invisible again.
Maybe ashamed, or maybe planning something, but he was invisible—not to Alex, though.
Alex could easily find where Nyx was, but he was in no position to be able to do it.
"Urgh!"
Alex groaned as he lay on the ground, and the burn marks on his body healed in an instant.
The room was already broken, and right now, they were standing on grassy ground.
The area looked deserted since the sound of animals couldn't be heard, even though they were in the middle of a dense forest.
'Sigh…'
Alex sighed in frustration as he realized that he hadn't moved an inch from his starting position.
Right now, he was lying on the spot where the fight started.
He was hoping that maybe during the fight, he would get a chance to get close to the shatter devourer, but...
'I guess I was hoping too much…'
Alex muttered inwardly as he tried to stand up.
The dust was settling down, so it was no use lying down, waiting for his death.
The demon generals knew that once Alex reached the shatter devourer, the tables might be turned, so they didn't let him move much.
They even attacked Alex continuously, disrupting the incubus transformation.
They wanted to finish this fast, so they wouldn't have to use their trump cards.
But just as Alex was getting up, the dust had almost settled down….
*Fwoosh*
Suddenly, blood started pooling up under Alex's feet.
Pure red blood.
Alex frowned at that, but before he could think of something, that blood transformed into chains and latched itself on Alex's wrists and ankles.
Alex bent his head toward the ground, his expression couldn't be seen.
"You lost, so stop it now...
We don't want to kill you."
Valerius's voice was heard, and all four of the demon generals were now standing at the corner of the crater formed due to the force of Alex crashing into the ground.
They looked at Alex, who was standing in the center with his arms and legs bound by the blood chains that Valerius was controlling.
He wanted the fight to stop.
He really didn't want to kill Alex because Alex looked like the hope they were waiting for.
It wasn't that they were weak, they still had someone stronger than their enemy on their side, but the situation was a bit complicated.
Right now, they had no other choice other than to rely on a monstrous genius like Alex.
But just as they were hoping for Alex to surrender….
"Heh…"
They heard a light chuckle….
