Chapter 23 - You Don't Deserve It

"Quickly, move the Power Suppressing Formation onto the boy!" The assassin Leader yelled as he pointed at Alex with a look of panic all over his face.

Even if they did that, they knew that the Old Man would take a couple of minutes to recover.

When Alex saw this, he smirked. He had the system after all. Most of his power came from his attributes. The Formation that they were using worked by suppressing the Qi within the target's body.

But they didn't know that he has Soul Power, Magic Power and his attributes that can all substitute his Qi.

"Kill Him!!" The assassins took out their bows and arrows again and shot.

*Swish**Puii*

Arrows came down on Alex. He used 'Acrobatics' to dodge them all. With Alex's speed, the arrows looked like they just passed through him.

The eyes of the assassins widened at this scene.

Isn't this guy having his cultivation suppressed?

How can he be so fast!?

They stared at him as if he were a ghost.

Alex, on the other hand, materialized his soul sword. He also used his Soul Power to catch the arrows that were coming towards him.

He lifted his finger and pointed it at the assassins to use magic.

{Elemental Magic: Ice Lock}

The ground under the assassins turned into ice and their legs were locked in a crystal of ice.

Alex then turned the arrows around and shot them back at them.

*Puii*

The arrows flew directly towards them. When they saw this, they paled and tried to defend against them.

Blood splattered everywhere as people were pierced through their hearts or their heads.

The forest reeked of blood and those that survived the bombardment were pale as they shivered in fear.

'This guy is way too strong. They couldn't even fight back.'

"Sir, please let us go! We'll give you what you want! Mercy!" They were newcomers in the industry and this is their first mission. They thought that it would be easy as they had never failed a mission but who would have guessed that a kid would annihilate most of the team.

Alex then used his 'Short-Range Teleportation' to appear in front of the leader. He in unsheathed his sword and swung down.

The assassin Leader bent his back backwards and took out a pair of daggers to block Alex's sword.

Alex saw this and rotated his sword 90 degrees. He then twisted his entire body 360 while getting into a crouching position.

*Pshhh*

Alex's sword was extremely fast. He cut right through the assassins leader's body. Blood gushed out everywhere. The morale of the assassins plummeted as they saw their leader being cut in two. Their leader was an Earth Realm Grade-5 Cultivator after all. He could even defeat Earth Realm Grade-6 Cultivators if he went all out. Now, a person appeared out of nowhere and killed their leaders and brothers.

They wanted to beg for mercy but they fell into despair after the next sentence came out of Alex's mouth.

"Mercy? You don't deserve it!"

Alex then lifted his finger once more and a red Magic circle appeared. He used Elemental and Demonic Magic together.

{#$%Demon Flame#^&@}

Alex could use Demon Language because of his system. He could be fluent in speaking and writing every language. If anyone else wanted to speak it, they would take at least 5 years because of its complexity.

Demon Flame was a self-created spell that needed a blood sacrifice. The blood of the sacrifice would fuse into the Elemntal flame. You could say that the flame was from Hell but Hell's Flame used many more sacrifices than Alex. Alex would have to sacrifice at least 1 trillion humans to create a thumb sized Hell Flame.

The flame ,that Alex created a moment ago, circled around the assassins corpses and burnt them to ashes. Alex then felt their souls and smirked.

{Infinite Soul Convergence: Soul Prison}

{Infinite Soul Convergence: Soul Torture Seal}

{Infinite Soul Convergence: Soul Slave Seal}

{Infinite Soul Convergence: Soul Storage}

Alex imprisoned them and turned them into his slaves. He could activate the Soul Torture Seal and torture them if he needed to vent out some anger. He the stored them in a Storage which allowed him to store souls in a private dimension. He could send his soul in to check on them if he needed to.

He then remembered something important he needed to do.

{Infinite Soul Convergence: Soul Memory Read}

By using his skill, Alex read all the memories of the assassins to find out their client.

'Stephen Sirius King? Monarch of the Supreme-Tier Kingdom of Sirius?'

Alex has heard of the the Great Kingdom of Sirius but he never expected the Monarch to try to Kill Old Man Han and Yui.

'King? We have the same last name. coincidence?'

Alex pushed that thought aside for now. He then retracted his killing intent and fighting spirit.

The once lush forest was now crimson red as there was blood splattered everywhere. It was like hell descended upon Centorih.

Alex turned around and looked at Yui and Old Man Han. They didn't know what to make out of the scene that just happened in front of them.

When Alex looked at them, with the gory scene and the sunset behind him, he looked like the God of Death.

After a long silence, Alex realized his mistake and used Water Magic to clean up the scene.

This was the first time Yui has seen someone die up close. She took half an hour of Old Man Han and Alex comforting her for her to calm down.

"Alex, Thank you for saving us!" Yui gave an intimate hug as she thanked Alex.

Alex replied with a smile and a thumbs up.

"It's no problem!"

Yui blushed and turned her head to the side. Suddenly, Old Man Han stood up and laughed.

He had recovered his strength. He came up to Alex and slapped Alex on his back.

"Hahaha! This is why I want to marry you to Yui."

Yui blushed once more. Her face was scarlet. She wanted to hide in a hole.

Alex, however, didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he saw a familiar notification.
