Gracier shot toward her brother at a fast speed, but he smiled with his head down. She wondered what he was trying to down; still confident in her strength, she attacked head-on; no matter what trick her brother would use, she would smack everything aside and win today.
Just as she was about to touch him with her blazing punch, she heard him.
''Reaper's chain.''
Numerous chains appeared from all around him and restrained her. Gracier was shocked so was the others. They exchanged looks and wondered when the Eternal chain could do something like that; however, now wasn't the time to be lost in thoughts as a fight was ongoing.
Even though numerous chains restrained Gracier, they knew the match wouldn't be ended so quickly, so they patiently waited.
And indeed, Gracier didn't disappoint them; her body turned into a flame that successfully escaped the chains. Even Alex was surprised by this, but he chuckled; the match would have been boring if it had ended just after he restrained his sister then he would have been disappointed.
Gracier, who turned into a flame, reappeared in another location, and her body materialized into her real body, and she immediately launched multiple fireballs at her brother.
Alex swallowed the fireballs, but they were soon extinguished by the chains wrapped around his body. Not only the black got weird abilities, but its reach had also increased, and it could now cover his whole body.
Finally, Alex moved, he had promised only to use his chain, not his Gift or knives, but just with Eterna alone, he could both attack and defend.
He disappeared and reappeared above Gracier with a splitting kick; she didn't dodge and blocked the blow with her arms.
Bang! Boom!
The ground cracked under her feet, leaving spiderwebs on the ground. Gracier immediately opened her mouth, ignoring the pain; she was about to breathe fire.
Sakuya and Artemia nodded; they understood why Gracier would deliberately block such a heavy kick; it was to create this occasion; not only did she block, she gripped her brother's leg and was about to breathe fire toward him; Alex would feel like being hit by a flame thrower. Even if he were to restrain her again, he would still suffer from her attack unless he blocked her mouth, something they didn't believe he would do. For the first time, Gracier held the advantage.
Only Maria, Gracier, and strangely Saeko believed that Alex had shown how amazing his chain had become.
Alex chuckled when he saw what his sister intended to do; from his right hand, a black shot out from and toward Gracier; the latter didn't dodge, thinking it would be the same move as last time; however, it was a terrible mistake.
As soon as the chain divided into multiple chains and wrapped around her body, Alex uttered before Gracier could breathe fire from her mouth.
''Lightning Discharge!"
Lightning appeared on the chains and immediately entered Gracier's body; Alex might have controlled the output sent into his sister's body. However, it was still painful, and Gracier, who wasn't expecting something like this, fainted on the spot; her dragon mode was undone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore her body could fall to the ground, Alex appeared beside her and caught it.
Silence descended upon the underground training room.
Finally, Artemia stepped forward, approaching Alex, she asked.
''What the hell was that?"
Alex chuckled and didn't say anything.
''Explain it. Since when does your chain possess so many abilities? It can also use different types of elements.'' Artemia didn't stop; she kept bombarding him with a question.
Alex didn't reply, not until he gave his sister to one of the maids and made sure she was fine.
''Well, do you remember what happened in the dungeon last time?" He asked; except for those who were present that day apart from him, namely Artemia and Maria, the others were clueless; still, they listened to the discussion.
Artemia and Maria exchanged a look and nodded.
''We do. You mean to say your chain evolved after almost sucking the dungeon dry?" Artemia asked.
Sakuya's eyes widened, and she finally understood why Alex would suggest they should prepare for their next destination despite the promise to fight in the coliseum. He had screwed another dungeon-like his sister did, so naturally, he wouldn't want to stay for longer.
''Yes, exactly, this kid evolved and gained a new ability. His name is Eterna. It's all I know. We will talk later. Why not continue with the sparring match?" Alex said he was not feeling satisfied yet; he wished for more fight, he almost wanted to say they should all attack him together, but he decided not to as it would appear like he was looking at them.
''Let me and Mio fight first before you and Artemia would fight,'' Maria suggested, and Alex nodded as he was okay with this proposal.
Immediately after this, Maria and Sakuya went on the stage.
Sakuya immediately launched an attack as soon the signal was given; her katanas cut through the air at extreme speed; however, their speeds slowed down as soon as they approached Maria.
''Mugen!" Sakuya smiling, mumbled, and her katanas vanished, shocked Alex and the others.
Maria felt a chill down her spine; she knew she would use it if she didn't use her strongest ability, and when she thought about which abilities to use, only one thing came to her mind, her new ability, something deep inside her was telling her to use it.
''Froze-"
Alex appeared between the two and canceled their ability with his domain.
''That is enough. Maria, that ability could have killed Sakuya, and Sakuya, don't use your ability as you did if you haven't mastered it. You created this ability for a defensive purpose at first, right?" Alex, who stopped the two, said.
''How did you know?" Sakuya asked, shocked that Alex had seen through her ability right away.
''Well, it is because I have a similar ability, but mine is the offensive type, and someone told me about your ability.''
''I see.'' Sakuya thought it must be one of the sisters, probably the big sister; she was the smartest of the two, and indeed it was Nyx who told Alex about Mugen; she was also the one that urged him to immediately stop the match if he didn't wish to see his women getting hurt or worse seriously injured. She told him not to let Maria use the Frozen World until she reached level 150 minimum; it was only at that level that she could use it but not completely.
After Maria and Sakuya left, it was now Alex and Artemia's turn to fight.
The two stood face to face with Alex asking.
''I think you will use the strongest level, right?"
He was talking about their promise before they left the Ice land. Artemia nodded before warning.
''You should use either your Asura's or dragon's forms if you wish to last longer.''
Facing Artemia's words that sounded provocation, Alex frowned but still decided to follow her advice.
He activated his Asura's Form; he stood there in a majestic form while his long crimson hair danced wildly.
Seeing this form, Artemia nodded; although the dragon form was strong, it was not intimidating as this form; this form instilled more fear into her soul than the dragon's form.
''Lightning Goddess,'' Artemia mumbled. Golden Lightning danced wildly around her like a storm, and she stood amidst this storm like a goddess that had descended from the lightning world.

Immediately after seeing her status, Alex gulped in anticipation, there was no doubt that she had become strong, unbelievably so, but he knew it wasn't the end; she still hadn't used that twentieth form. His blood couldn't help but boil in excitement just by imagining how strong she would become and what kind of pleasure he would get by fighting against such a strong opponent.
Suddenly, Alex, who was filled with anticipation, heard Nyx's warning.
〖Careful!〗
Alex frowned but followed her warning; he activated his domain, and everything became clear; he was sure he could face the most situation with his domain activated.
It was then that Artemia raised her hand and mumbled.
[In the beginning there was nothing but lightning!]
Immediately after everything turned into lightning, the stage was turned into a rumble, and even the protective shield cracked; Maria and the others only saw a lightning-filled stage, and Alex was nailed to the other end of the stage by a lightning spear. Something unbelievable had happened.
