Alex finally responded with a crazed smile which shocked the three.
''All I care about is my life and those closest to me. The world could burn, I'll only interfere if it's beneficial for me and my loved ones.'' Alex added,
Then, under their widened eyes, he vanished.
"What!?"
They couldn't believe it. This shouldn't be possible.
Angus, with his centuries of experience, immediately understood what was happening and paled as he screamed,
"Everyone be careful! The drug does not affect him.'' Angus warned but..
"It's too late. I guess."
*Ugh*
A shiver went through Demis's spine as she turned to find Sven, with a bloodied hand going through his chest and a grinning Alex standing behind him.
"Well, the most troublesome dealt with I guess." He declared while crushing Sven's heart.
A predatory smile formed on Alex's face as he stared at them, "You guys made one mistake, you see… I am not locked in with you guys."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithdrawing his hand, he didn't even spare a glance as Sven's lifeless body slumped on the ground.
"It's you, who is locked in with me."
It was time to show who was the real prey.
BOOM!
Angus released his strength making the floor and the furniture nearby explode before disappearing leaving Demis alone.
''The son of bitch!!''
Demis was furious and overwhelmed by fear she tried to flee by turning into a bat but before she could Alex acted.
''Not on my watch,'' Alex announced before releasing a little bit of his silver domain.
Bang!
Demis's transformation was canceled and she violently crashed into the ground.
She was scared shirtless as never in her wildest dream she would have expected this, hearing and experiencing it are two different things. The true terror of the man known as the Black Prince, the most hated enemy of their Organization was being shown to her currently and he was not even going all out. This realization sent a shiver down Demis's spine and her head became blank, forget about revenge, forget about the mission, all that mattered at the moment was her survival.
'Escape'
To escape from this place even though it would not be easy.
''Alex could you leave this one to me?"
Suddenly, there was a voice that rang out next to Demis forcing her to raise her head and there she met a pair of eyes redder than hers.
''Sure, I don't mind my target is that runaway anyway. Enjoy your time.'' Alex responded to Incursio's request with a sweet smile before vanishing.
''I.. Incursio.'' Demis was terror-stricken upon realizing the newcomer's identity she appeared beside her as if she had been there since the start.
''Oh my! It seems that I'm still popular. That's for the best.'' Incursio declared while eyeing Demis like an overlord looking down on an ant.
'I'm done for.' There is no chance of survival here and Demis knew this well.
°°°°°°
Alex chased after Angus until the border of a normal-looking forest, Angus stopped and glanced in Alex's direction before dashing into the forest. His intention could not be any clearer and Alex obviously knew his intention and still accepted, he entered the forest in turn but took his time to enjoy the view.
The forest was tremendous, clear, and prospering. Its canopy was reigned by spruce, fir, and magnolia, still plenty of light passed through their crowns for a hodgepodge of plants to rule the brittle leaves on the ground below.
Curving branches waved from the occasional tree, and a potpourri of flowers, which grew dispersed and sparingly, enriched the otherwise mundane scenery.
A tumult of animal noises, predominantly those of birds and vermin, added life to the forest and drowned out the occasional roar of a large animal trying to scare away predators.
After satisfying his curiosity Alex finally followed Angus and arrived at a cave, probing it he felt a presence going deeper into the cave.
The side of Alex's lips went up into a smirk and he descended into the cave. The possibility of this being a trap set up by the enemy did cross his mind but so what? He got enough strength to smash everything and leave if wanted so there was no need to worry about needless things, he was not scared but on the contrary curious about what kind of fight Angus will put on, the man isn't weak after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, Alex arrived at his destination in the biggest spot of the cave where Angus was waiting for him.
''I knew arrogant as you are you will not refuse my challenge and it's this arrogance that will cause your downfall.'' Angus declared like a lecturer in front of his unruly student but Alex only dug his ears in response.
Angus was enraged to be looked down upon like this considering his status was not something pleasant to bear but he still managed to curb his rage as giving in would mean falling into the enemy's trap, something he could not afford to do, he successfully managed to bring Alex here, the rest will depend on him, victory is not a dream as long he carried his plan.
He doesn't know how Alex was able to remain unaffected by the poison, foiling the first part of their plan, but, with this, Alex wasn't someone he could take lightly anymore.
If he didn't go all out, dying was a very real possibility.
He must use his full power!
Upon arriving at this conclusion, Angus clapped his hands and unleashed a wave of misma after releasing all of his strength.
Roarrr!
His body turned into that of a half-beast man and he bellowed as his roar reverberated throughout the cave. It sounded like thousands upon thousands of lions roaring at the same time. The aura came crashing down upon Alex in dust and shockwaves.
The soundwave ruptured the ground. It clipped the boulders near the cave walls.
Everything turned to dust when struck by this attack.
A demigod's power is terrifying.
If Alex was in the Saint realm, he would have been reduced to dust just like the boulders around him.
However, he was not, so he was unfazed by this sound attack. He flicked his finger.
