Chapter 194 - Infinite Stats Talent

Alex carried Rex to the bedroom. He put Rex on the bed and then slowly closed the door.

Right after that, he said, "Come on Rex, you can stop the acting."

"Uh..."

And with that, Rex opened his eyes as if laughing because of some unknown humor.

"Father..."

"You knew?"

"Of course I knew. Do you think that I would be fooled that easily?", Alex asked.

'Thank God! I was right!'

'I really thought that he had fainted but I doubted for a second thinking that this might have been his plan to escape the crowd of knights and us.'

*gulp*

'Looks like common sense really doesn't apply to him.', Alex nodded his head while thinking that.

'But does that mean he is strong enough to counter both Eli's and my attack?'

Alex then pulled a chair near to him and sat on it. He then looked at Rex who was sweating a bit and asked, "Rex, will you tell me truthfully about yourself?"

"Although I am your father, I seem to know nothing about you."

"In fact, I almost never showed any interest in you earlier. Please, tell me..."

"Are you really my son?"

"What are the things you are hiding and what are you up to?"

Alex was so confused that he blabbered everything that was on his mind. Elina and Daryun. who had just arrived near the door and were about to knock at the door, stopped. They could hear the voice from inside so they decided to give them some privacy.

But Elina wanted to know the answers to the questions that Alex asked and thus, she was kind of eavesdropping on them. The same was with Daryun, instead of leaving, he too stayed outside to hear their convo.

'Mom...'

'And Daryun, do you really think that you are hiding your presence?'

'I can sense you without any effort.'

'Hmm, I think this is a good opportunity to tell them about myself.'

'In fact, I will say those things that will prevent them from questioning me or my actions till now and in the future.'

"Father, the thing is, after I ran away from home, I met this thirteen masters and-"

Now Rex told Alex about those thirteen masters and the things that he learned. He made them the reason for his strength.

As mentioned earlier, in this world, one has levels. Those are the growth marks that they represent themselves with.

No one ever crossed the 100 level mark, in fact, that was the last mark. Rex knew about this since the world was just like the game where the max level was 100. Of course, he was one of the very few players that had reached that level.

So a person's level was quite important. Though it hadn't been seen or shown till now, not much, it had its own significance.

"Rex, what is your level?", Alex asked.

"My level is Infinity!" - he could definitely not tell this.

It would be ridiculous, to begin with after all this is not some random matter. Having an infinite level means that he has basically crossed even the goldy realm after all even the gods have levels.

Also, this would mean that he no longer is restricted with the 100 level barrier or limit. Although this would reassure Alex and Elina and would prevent them from worrying much, it could have the opposite effect as well!

Instead of his safety, they might start to worry about others' safety and prevent Rex from doing anything on his own since having enough power to destroy the world is a terrifying thing.

"I'm level 42, father.", he said.

"Forty-two...?", Alex was surprised on hearing that.

'How is this possible?'

'How can a mere level forty-two take my attacks?'

'No one even in the upper nineties could handle my attack that easily...'

Alex was astonished as he thought this more and more.

He was a level 93 battle-mage. As mentioned earlier, he was one of the strongest in the world, and obviously, his true strength was more than a normal level 93 person. He could even defeat a level 95 or 96 battle mage if he were to give his all.

'I was going to praise Rex if he were to tell that his level was in the eighties or something, however, he surprised me with his level...'

'Yes, his level and strength don't match.'

'Also, I've observed this since earlier but, his mana never depletes...'

'There is a method that can restore the used mana almost immediately, however, I don't think that he was using such a method.'

*gulp*

'Then I can only draw out one conclusion...'

'My son...'

'My son has definitely been blessed with infinite mana stats!'

'Yes, by using the infinite mana, he could essentially create a physical barrier so strong that it could easily repel even an attack from level 90s battle mage.'

'Moreover, he can use attacks of any other levels!'

The reason why battle mages level up by garnering experience is so that their capacity to store and use mana increases. If the amount of output of mana increases, then they can use stronger spells.

Of course, their body would undergo necessary changes as they increase their levels so that it could withstand the strong mana.

However, if one has infinite mana, he could essentially use spells of other levels. Of course, they would still need to increase their ranks to increase the output capacity. 

But having infinite mana stats means that a level forty-two battle mage could defeat a battlemage of twice of the same level, that is, level eighty-four.

'In the entire Shelong Continent, there are only three people blessed with infinite mana stats!'

'I can't believe that my son is the fourth one!'

'But I must confirm before getting into any conclusion...'

"Son, tell me..."

"Please, if you trust me and respect me as your father..."

"Reveal me your secrets.", Alex wanted to hear directly from Rex.

He was still not hundred percent sure that Rex had 'Infinite Mana' stats. This was his way of confirming.

'I....'
