Chapter 186: CHAPTER 186 – Fight or Massacre?
*Baam**Baam*Baam*
Alex rushed forward as he waved his hands at the Aquathrens running toward him with their weapons or with their bare hands.
They had the mad and berserk light in their eyes even at the last moment when they had their heads blasted off like a melon.
A single wave of Alex's hand would take out two or three Aquathrens at the same time, sometimes four if the weaker ones were together.
The power of an Epic-ranked weapon was not to be underestimated, after all.
But Alex was just using it at its full power for fun, he would lower it to SS-rank when he fights with Makrum.
'I won't go back on my words…'
Alex muttered inwardly as he looked at Noctura from the corner of his eyes.
Noctura was standing at the seashore with her claws shining with black light.
[They are just minor characters, she will be fine.]
Sophia assured Alex as if she could sense his worry for Noctura.
'I know, and there is Alice and Ann just behind her as well…'
Alex was not actually replying to Alice, he was reminding himself.
He then turned back toward the wave of Aquathrens that looked more like zombies and increased his speed.
He opened his arms wide as he rushed ahead.
Any or every Aquathren that came close to him would get blasted into meat past by his speed and arms.
They were all ranked below or equal to S-rank, which was not a big challenge for Alex.
As said before, a normal peak SS-ranker could take care of more than 20 S-rankers, so when Alex along with his Epic-ranked weapon clashed with a wave consisting of 10s of S-rankers and 100s of A to B-rankers, the result can't be more obvious.
It was a complete massacre.
'Monstrous mf….'
Makrum muttered as he looked at his soldiers getting decimated like they were nothing.
'Well, they are nothing but meat shields anyway, I will just order the remaining males to breed their females so that we can get more soldiers.'
Makrum muttered with a shrug but then he clenched his teeth.
'If we even survived….'
Makrum knew for certain that the chances of that happening were close to nil, but he was not planning on going down easily.
He then looked at Alex and a certain glint passed through his eyes.
'Just you wait….'
............…..
Alex was now running on water as he kicked the heads of the emerging Aquathrens that moved toward the coast.
The Aquathrens that came out of the water and had their chest still submerged in the water came out just to see a kick heading at their face.
"RAAAA!!"
"I will kill you!"
"Go die!!"
They didn't care about their lives.
Until the very end, even if they couldn't do much, they tried to bite Alex's ankle off only to have their heads blown into smithereens.
Alex then looked toward Makrum who was standing on water himself.
Alex was using mana to keep themselves floating over the water, while Makrum as an SS-ranked Aquathren had the ability to walk over water and in the water.
"You didn't look like you were getting out of the water, so I thought that maybe I should come to you."
Alex's voice was not that loud and there were the shouts of the Aquathrens in the surroundings but Makrum could hear Alex's voice clearly.
"I'm the weaker one here, so you can't blame me…."
Makrum spoke with a smile, inwardly, however, he was gritting his teeth.
'Why is this guy so strong!!'
Makrum knew that the match would be hard, and he would have his life on the line, but looking at Alex blowing the shit out of the Aquathrens made him rethink his plan, but, in the end….
'It will work out.
No! It has to work!'
Makrum shouted inwardly.
'Now is not the time to doubt my plans.
I need to focus.'
Makrum looked at Alex's hand.
'That thing is too strong….'
Alex who was staring at Makrum found him looking at his hands so he smiled and voiced out.
"Oh, don't worry about this, I will lower its power as well."
Before Alex never tried lowering his weapons stats, but when he did, he found out that it was possible.
'If my stats can be lowered, then so can my weapons…'
Alex's simple sword grew on its own as Alex grew, so that means, if Alex can limit his power, then so can his simple sword.
Makrum didn't say anything and just stared at Alex as he saw Alex standing in front of him.
Makrum then turned to look at Noctura.
Noctura was standing on the shore and with the sun high up in the sky, the shadow of the Aquathrens for her to use.
She would create chains, spikes, bumps, and many other things.
The Aquathrens would not even be able to reach her as she would kill them before they reached her.
But once the Aquathrens came closer, she abandoned her stationary position and started running around, slashing her sharp nails at the Aquathrens.
Continue your journey on m-v-l-e-m-p-y-r
"YAAAAAAA!!"
Aquathrens would jump at her with fierce cries but all Noctura would simply move away with her superior speed and kill them without much effort.
Noctura would wait for some time for her mana to recover before she would again start using the Aquathrens' shadow against them.
'This is not as much fun as the fight with Beast King, but it is still fun!'
Noctura thought inwardly as she kept slashing the Aquathrens across their faces and necks to kill them in a single blow.
There were many Aquathrens, but the number of Aquathrens she had to face at one time was no more than two or three, and that was not a problem for her.
'Just continue like that….'
Makrum smiled inwardly as he saw that things were still going according to the plan.
Makrum and Alex were standing quite deep in the sea.
They were at least 1000 meters away from the coast, and this was the reason why it took Alex some seconds to reach Makrum.
"Are you going to keep standing there?" Alex's question broke Makrum out of his thoughts as he turned toward Alex, but all he saw was a black-colored metallic-looking fist right in front of his face.
Makrum knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge or block the attack as it was right in front of his face so he just clenched his jaws, ready for the impact and…..
*Baam*
A loud noise was heard and Makrum was sent flying backward, deeper into the sea.
"I will make the first move then…."
Alex completed his sentence, but then as if realizing something he clapped his hands together.
"Ah, I should've said that before the attack, right?"
Alex looked in the direction Makrum was thrown into and asked this question, expecting to get an answer, which, unfortunately, he didn't get.
"Whatever, I will not do that next time…"
Alex just shrugged before he dashed toward Makrum who was now standing back up as he screamed while holding his broken jaw.
