Chapter 282: CHAPTER 282 - Attack.
"Attack."
Valerius, who now looked more dashing and majestic at the same time, uttered those words in a purr.
His voice wasn't really loud, it was more like a murmur, but it was enough to vibrate the air around them.
The other demon generals, however, didn't seem to mind it.
They were powerful on their own, and they knew that they could do the same, so why would it be a big deal for Valerius, who was the strongest among them?
*Woosh*
Malak just took a step, but the next moment he was right in front of Alex with his fist clenched.
*Swoosh*
Nyx was the same. He also moved at a speed that Alex wouldn't have been able to perceive.
Right now, he had a grin on his face as he was happy that he finally got a chance to get back at Alex.
Others might not have noticed the fact that he was not invisible to Alex, but Nyx knew very well that Alex could perceive where he was.
He had seen Alex's eyes following his movements.
Those black and red eyes would lock on him the moment he tried to attack as if warning him.
*Grit*
He gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated.
'A mere legendary rank made me feel helpless!'
Nyx clenched his dagger in annoyance and irritation.
How could a legendary ranker make him feel so helpless?!
This is what he wanted to know.
He was one of the strongest in this world, you know.
How could he sit still and not feel anything after not being able to even put a scratch on Alex's body?
*Slash*
'I got you now!'
Nyx exclaimed inwardly as his dagger cut through the air, and was about to pierce Alex's neck.
He finally got Alex in a position where Alex would have no other choice than to take a hit.
*Flap*
Valerius was not someone to be left behind, so the moment he ordered the others to attack, he flapped his wings.
*Swoosh*
As if being teleported, one moment he was on his spot, and the next second he was right above Alex.
His speed was the fastest among the demon generals.
Yes, unlike Malak and Nyx, he uses magic to increase his speed, but he was fasted without a doubt.
Valerius, however, didn't wait for Malak and Nyx to arrive.
In whatever microsecond he had before they were also next to Alex, Valerius conjured a blood spear and pointed it down, right over Alex's head.
'Just stay still after this…'
He sighed inwardly.
He could just pierce the spear into Alex's head, killing him on the spot, but he didn't want to do that. So, he aimed the spear at Alex's shoulder, intending to stake Alex to the ground.
He hoped that Alex would stop after this.
He didn't want to lose the demon lord the moment he was summoned, that too killed by the demon generals' hands.
'Please, try not to kill him.'
Morvan, on the other hand, sent a mental request to the one who was standing inside the dark portal behind her.
*Growl…*
There was no reply from the inside, but a low growl was heard.
'You still won't speak…?'
Morvan, who heard that growl, just sighed inwardly.
The beast that was inside the portal was a dragon.
An arrogant and prideful creature.
Morvan was lucky enough to find such a creature's carcass.
She did somehow convince the dragon to become her summoned undead, but she had yet to get the creature to completely listen to her.
*Sssssss*
Soon, however, her eyes turned sharp and her focus returned to the battle when she heard the sharp sound of inhaling air.
Simultaneously, inside the dark portal, a light started to shine…..
But the light slowly started taking the shape of the neck of some large beast.
"Grrrrr…"
The next instant, a growl was heard and now it became clear what that light was…..
A large head of a dragon covered in dark scales came into view as the head of that beast came out of the portal.
Its throat was lightened with a yellow-colored glow, and it seemed to be charging up for an attack.
The heat of the glowing throat could be felt from afar, only Morvan was immune to it since it was her summon.
But if an SSS-ranker like Luna were to be left in the open, they would've died from the heat alone.
*Hoooo*
A loud exhaling sound was heard as the jaws of the dragon opened.
It's slitted eyes focusing on Alex.
"Grrr…"
A low growl left its throat as the fire in its mouth slowly started to escape from the corner of its jaws.
The dragon then opened its jaw, showing the meter-long razor-sharp teeth along with the flame that slowly started forming into a ball of flame…..
But the next instant…..
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Its eyes widened when it heard a guttural scream coming out of Alex's lips.
It was as if the pain he was feeling suddenly increased by folds.
But it was not just the dragon that had its eyes widened, even the demon generals were surprised by the sudden outburst.
Valerius was quick to realize the problem as he was very sensitive to mana right now.
"Retreat!"
Valerius hurriedly shouted as he felt Alex's speed of absorbing the SD had increased exponentially.
He could see Alex's body cracking due to the strain, but at the same time, he could also see Alex's body mending itself.
Malak and Nyx, who sensed the urgency in Valerius's voice halted their steps.
"Hisss…."
They hissed in pain as they felt their skin being devoured by the moment they closed in toward Alex.
But as Valerius asked them to, they quickly retreated.
However, just as they were a distance away…..
*BOOOOMMMMM*
A loud explosion unlike any before, resounded throughout the area.
The demon cities or villages in the surroundings felt like the earth was trembling, and it actually was.
The world, which has been known as Eldoria since the time of its creation, was quivering in fear.
The moment it felt the SD and Alex's energy combine, the planet turned fearful.
Unlike Gaia, this planet was older, so this planet had a will of its own, and although the will of this world was quite young, it was there nonetheless.
The same will was now regretting its decisions.
{You shouldn't have done that in the first place, puny planet.}
Sophia, who, unlike Alex, could see and feel everything, commented when she felt the world shake in terror.
She knew why it was happening after all, but for now, she decided to ignore the planet and focus on Alex, who seemed to have completed the binding.
Sophia, although inside the system space, was always ready to intervene if things got out of hand.
The moment she felt like Alex's life was in immediate danger, she would step in.
However, her eyes then turned toward a certain direction and her brows frowned.
Her face or body couldn't be seen, only her outline could be seen since it was completely dark in the system space, but the brows above her blue eyes were knitted together….
