Alpha Reborn!



"Now that my soul pockets are unsealed, I can finally hunt the hunters. This is going to be fun." Evan's lips curled up into a wicked grin, his eyes glinting with endless malice. "Those triplets from the Blizzard Household are in for a world of hurt."

After successfully evading the relentless onslaught of icy projectiles, the triplets returned to Evan, oblivious to the fact that he had found freedom from the curse and regained control over his soul pockets. 

"We're back for round two!" the triplets said to him in unison.

As his preys came to him of their own volition, like lambs to the slaughter, Evan's smirk widened into a full-blown grin that stretched across his face, revealing sharp teeth glinting in the light of the moon. 

"You have no idea what's coming," Evan said in his signature voice, one that was low and menacing enough to send chills down the spines of the triplets.

Then, without warning, Evan vanished into the shadows like a ghost.

The triplets were still ignorant of the fact that the tiger they had crippled had already regained his strength. Unfortunately for them, Evan was not in the mood to fight or talk. He was only in the mood to butcher pigs.

A moment later, he emerged from Liam's shadow, striking outwards with his sword. However, Liam had seen the attack coming with the help of his radar and signaled to Enzo for backup. 

The sword failed to find its mark as Enzo teleported Liam away just in time.

Liam appeared a short distance away from Evan, his eyes glinting with satisfaction as he flashed a cocky grin at his opponent.

Little did he know that he had fallen into Evan's trap. If he had realized, he wouldn't be grinning so smugly. 

The one he was grinning at was the afterimage Evan left behind when he moved with incredible speed to appear behind Liam.

The triplets' eyes weren't actually on Evan but on his afterimage, which, as if it had overstayed its welcome, disappeared!

Immediately, Liam's smirk was wiped off and replaced with endless fear.

The bubble was popped.

Enzo and Kian both felt fear for Liam as they saw Evan standing behind him, their faces ashen white like a ghost century old.

At this moment, Enzo's skill crystal was still on cooldown, so he couldn't use its power to teleport others away. Kian was too far away to intervene in this situation, and Liam was unaware that the reaper was standing behind him menacingly.

In short, nothing could save Liam!

.....

Liam was about to check his radar to see where Evan had gone when a voice from behind interrupted him. 

"Don't bother."

The swift sound of a sharp blade entering flesh followed, and Liam was instantly deprived of his life. Evan withdrew his swords and watched as Liam fell into the murky water, his body lifeless and still.

[Ding! Congratulations, Player Evan, for killing an Awakened Soul Manifestation Realm Soul Cultivator. You get +80 EXP!]

After he killed Liam, Evan felt a scorching sensation rising on his palm. When he looked down, he saw the number "1" had appeared on the back of his hand, indicating the number of points he had earned in the trial.

Ignoring the sensation, he shifted his attention to Kian and Enzo.

"It's your turn next," he said, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Enzo's eyes were brimming with rage and tears as he spoke,

"You'll pay for what you did. My brother's death will be avenged. I'll ensure you suffer the same fate as him."

"You failed to kill this prince when all three of you were fighting together. What makes you think it'll be any different now that you're down by one?"

Evan retorted.

"Anger is not going to get you to paradise. Emotions don't have the capability to harm. But since you're stupid enough to think otherwise, you are a waste of oxygen."

"I do not like wastefulness. So I will send you down to meet your brother in a minute."

"Empty Farts!"

Irked by his words, Enzo made a move to kill Evan.

He threw his javelin, and it seemed to transform into a wingless water dragon as it hurtled through the air and charged towards Evan.

Thunderous Blade Wave!

Reacting swiftly, Evan swung his swords, and a magnificent arc of ice appeared under the moon's glow, freezing everything in its path. The arc charged forward with unstoppable force, slicing the water dragon in half and causing it to freeze over instantly. Its frozen halves fell and crashed against the thick layer of ice that had formed on the surface of the murky water, leaving Kian and Enzo stunned.

Enzo suffered from severe frostbite due to the chill of the icy arc, which threatened to dismember him, but before it could become a reality, he swapped places with an insect perched on a tree several meters behind Evan.

As a result, Enzo saved his life, but his skill crystal was now on cooldown, creating the perfect opportunity for Evan. 

[Frost Barrage!]

He seized the moment and unleashed an offensive soul skill, firing fast and merciless ice bullets at Enzo and Kian.

With no ability to teleport out of harm's way, the two could only be impaled by the bullets. Enzo's mobility was taken away when the ice bullets pierced his legs, while Kian was fortunate to only lose the use of the arm where he was hit.

Enzo lay immobilized on the ground, completely at Evan's mercy, but the young prince had none to spare for a treacherous villain like Enzo, who had worked together with his brothers to take his life.

Like a ghost, Evan appeared before him, wielding a sword with ruthless efficiency.

Swoosh!

The sword was swung powerfully and ruthlessly.

Enzo didn't have the physical ability to counter Evan's lightning-fast attack, and his skill crystal was still on cooldown, rendering him completely helpless.

He could only watch as Death approached. 

In a split second, Enzo's head was separated from his body in a split second, flying through the air before landing on the frozen surface of the filthy water and spinning to a stop.

Two of the three triplets were dead.

The number on the back of Evan's hand changed from 1 to 2!

"Die!" Meanwhile, Kian snuck up behind Evan, swinging his staff with the intention of bashing his head.

Evan pivoted around. He was so unfazed by the incoming attack that he didn't bother dodging it at all. He cast a disdainful glance at Kian and smirked.

Thwack!

Kian's staff connected with Evan's temple with a thud.

And then...

...nothing happened.
