Gacha Sovereign

Another Spatial Gate appeared behind Alex as the wolf emerged from within, attacking Alex from behind.

"!!!" Alex immediately turned around and slashed his sword at the emerging wolf. At the same time, Sherry, Stina, and Kyle released their fire above them and rained them down to the wolf, so Alex could retreat from this. Yet, Alex had a better way of handling this monster.

He went around the monster, forcefully closed his Spatial Gate, and summoned a few tentacles to strangle him.

"Space Bind."

Leoz and Nelson, as usual, reacted first as they were Alex's partner in fighting a boss monster like him.

"Shadow Slash."

"Thunder Spirit Slash."

Just as they were about to swing their weapons covered with their respective elements, the same tentacles suddenly appeared around them and prevented them from completing their techniques.

It turned out that the monster could also use the Space Bind. Alex gritted his teeth, noticing there were also a few ones coming toward him.

The moment the monster got the advantage, Firia and the spirits surrounded them, trying to shoot it down with their elements. Unfortunately, the wolf took one step ahead and released his Spiritual Energy before sharp waves coming from his claws. These sharp waves cut Alex's Space Bind, and the wolf decided to retreat by creating another Spatial Gate.

'To think this guy uses Space Cut with his claws, and it's not only the claws in his paws but also his legs too…' Alex gritted his teeth and summoned another Spatial Gate right in front of the wolf Spatial Gate. He saw that the wolf's Spatial Gate actually connected to another gate a few hundred meters away from here, so he prevented him from going that way by coating it with his own Spatial Gate that connected with a gate only two meters away from it.

Not only that, each of them cut all the tentacles that restricted them before Alex charged at this wolf first.

"Mythical Fire Slash."

Two fire sword waves flew out of his swords, making their way toward the wolf only to get obstructed by a giant sphere. This pink balloon caught his Mythical Fire Slash and compressed it until it was gone.

'Spatial Lock?' Alex was dumbstruck. Never did he know that the wolf could actually use so many Space Element Arts and mostly came from the Freedom Sect. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. 'Wait a minute. The Gods and Goddesses know the existence of the Freedom Sect, right? I mean, not the sect itself, but the people since they have fought together in the past.

'If my speculation is true, all the techniques that this wolf has must come from the Gods and Goddesses, no it should be that Space God. In other words, the Space Element Techniques in Freedom Sect actually came from them? Or maybe they were a common Martial Arts in the past? If that is the case, I need to assume that this guy could actually use all the Space Element Arts in Freedom Sect's Martial Arts Pavilion.

'Although I only grab some of the most useful ones, I believe there might be another combination that I don't know… Hopefully, not.' Alex sorted his thoughts before instructing. "Don't use a ranged attack. I believe this guy will be able to use a Spatial Gate to make it complicated for us. Even if I try to match him with my own Space Element, I won't be able to because there is a gap between him and me in terms of understanding. After all, he has the inheritance from that Space God in his belly, and I think he has comprehended everything inside it."

"!!!" They stupefied for a second, halted their attacks, and took out their weapons. Sherry came out of his body with her original one-meter body, preparing herself to fight against this monster. Meanwhile, Kyle and Stina already flew to the sky in their phoenix form. Although they couldn't use their fire, their talons were strong enough to injure this guy.

However, one person knew that she couldn't fight in this case. It was Firia, and Alex knew this.

"Firia. Become our support like Greg, prepare to create a shield to protect us." Alex instructed her. At first, he wanted her to watch the gate or stood by on the sideline, but he thought it was too cruel. So, he decided to give her another role.

Firia also knew this and nodded without hesitation. It was a lie if she said she didn't like this, but she also didn't feel like complaining. She knew her weakness in this battle, so she retreated a few step backs and regrouped with Greg. Her master once said that she needed to experience many things to know what she lacked, and this must be it. The only thing she could do right now was to grit her teeth and search for a way to overcome her weakness, of course, after the fight.

As she thought about various things, Alex's group already closed in with their weapons.

Before they could attack this guy, he created Space Plates all over him, hindering their advance. However, the group's strength was higher than he expected. They simply smiled and released their Spiritual Energy.

"True Spirit Body."

The moment the true spirit body was out, the Spiritual Energy fluctuated strongly in the area, causing a little shock wave to their surroundings.

"Heaven Light Slash." Alex struck the barrier with his sword.

"Dark Cut." Anna made a crack with her scythe.

"Eternal Life Connection." Anya linked all of them and raised their strength.

Everyone used their own unique technique and destroyed the barrier in a single swoop, albeit the Space Destroyer Wolf was also not a pushover.

It only glanced at Alex as if he didn't do anything special despite breaking the barrier and came toward him. He needed only a split second to escape by creating a Spatial Gate under his feet.

"I won't make it." Alex clicked his tongue and stretched his hand, realizing that he couldn't close the gate fast enough. He then summoned his tentacles, trying to catch the wolf.

The wolf snorted and destroyed those tentacles again with his Space Cut before going through the gate.

Alex didn't waste a single time and created fifteen Spatial Gates in the land and the sky, giving each of them a gate to go through.

"!!!" Suddenly, he noticed something different in the gate and shouted. "Slash everything right in front of the gate."

They were confused by his instruction, but as soon as they approached the gate, they felt something was going to stop them right on the other side of the gate. It was at this moment they slashed whatever it was according to Alex's instruction. Even Anya swung her staff to destroy this.

It was when they crossed the gate, they finally saw tentacles being cut. It was the Space Bind that the wolf used to prevent them from coming.

Fortunately, Alex could sense it from afar along with the vision of his Spirit Eyes that was telling him there was another energy right in front of the gate.

They smiled and crossed the gate without much problem, finding the wolf who glared angrily at them. Alex took a deep breath and checked a path where he could keep the wolf in check. Of course, that kind of thing was hard to find since it was basically the wolf's weakness.

Alex decided to think about this as he fought against the wolf.

'Can I kill him if I am attacking recklessly?' Alex thought for a moment. It surely left a gap in his defense because the wolf must haven't thought that Alex would do such a thing, but Alex needed to make sure of everything first.

Alex observed the battle, trying to find anything that he could use. The wolf always sneakily escaped from them and pulled one trick after another just to stop them. Luckily, his group never had any problem with this type of thing and kept pressuring the wolf.

Wounds after wounds were inflicted. Despite being shallow, the number of wounds had been draining the energy from the wolf. Although it wasn't to the point he would drop dead in a matter of minutes, they could do it for a few hours until he died.

On the other hand, Alex and his group hadn't used much Spiritual Energy because they only used their weapons to fight the wolf. It might not be an effective way to attack, but they had no choice because this guy had been strengthened by the Space Element Arts.

It couldn't be said that this 3-Star Martial Saint wolf that had the power 5-Star anymore. Instead, it could be classified as more than that. Alex even doubted that a 7-Star Martial Saint could fight against this wolf before he was tricked and killed by the wolf.

'Ah, I should level up Leoz before…' Alex sighed inwardly. 'Never mind. Even Leoz alone needs a few hours to kill a monster this tricky. No wonder it is called a unique monster. Besides, this is a good experience to see how a Space Element Master fights. I can use this as a reference for my future fight.'

With that thought in mind, Alex smiled and advanced without much problem until he suddenly saw the wolf staggering as if he almost lost its balance.

"Leoz, Nelson, follow me," Alex said without hesitation as he leaped toward the wolf as if he was disregarding his life. However, the two didn't have any doubts in their hearts that Alex knew something.

It was at this time Greg suddenly tugged Firia's hand and asked her to move along with him, following these three.

On the other hand, Alex charged at the wolf from the front while the other two attacked him from left and right.

"Heaven Light Slash."

"Shadow Slash."

"Thunder Spirit Slash."

These three tried to strike him in three different spots.

The wolf didn't let them attack him easily. He roared, sent sharp waves from all of his claws, and summoned tentacles to stop them. Just like the trio, the wolf wanted to kill them in this chance.

Alex smiled upon seeing this as his Spiritual Weapons raised a shield in front of him, blocking the Space Cut. On the other hand, Jeanne, Fabio and Vera appeared right beside Alex, cutting every single tentacle. He ran past these techniques and struck the wolf.

The same applied to the others. On Nelson's side, Firia created a flame wall and burned the Space Cut entirely while Jean, Anna, and Artur cut the Space Bind. Nelson ran through the wall of flame that only burned the enemy and had no effect on the allies and struck the wolf.

As for Leoz, Greg formed the shield in front of him. With Stina, Kyle, and Anya destroyed the tentacles, Leoz could go through the wolf's defense and slashed his sword.

"!!!" The wolf realized what just happened and tried to jump backward, avoiding these three attacks. Alex, of course, didn't let this happen. He had been faking this last charge for this moment.

"Space Plate."

"Space Bind."

Alex smirked as he created Space Plates behind the wolf and Space Bind to lock his four legs. At this time, Leoz and Nelson arrived at the wolf's side and sliced the wolf into two, with Nelson and Leoz cut half of that giant body with their long swords. Of course, they aimed a bit higher since Alex said there was a ball inside his stomach.

"Ao!" The wolf howled in pain and disbelief because he never expected that a moment of surprise could kill him. He never expected that the three seeming reckless guys turned out to be the cunning attacks. He took another glance at Alex before finally closing his eyes.

Alex took a deep breath of relief, and stared at the wolf, undisturbed with the blood flowing out of its body. "You are the most troublesome opponent I have ever had. Still, I am thankful for this experience because now I can understand how a Space Element Master will react in a life and death battle. Next time, I will kill them quicker than this… Farewell."
