Chapter 125: CHAPTER 124 - Alex VS Chalitanetra 3.

Alex had some very strong abilities, with there being a bunch of high-ranked ones, but the ones one could make out were only the wind's whisper and hellbound touch.

If he were to use any other ability of his, then no one would be able to tell what it is actually.

Even the gods watching him every time can't tell what kind of abilities he had, much less Chlaitanetra, who hasn't even seen Alex fight much.

That demon had only seen some of the highlights on Godnet.

The one ability that Alex was famous for was his ability to manipulate arrows—no one knew its name after all.

Even the demon felt like that ability was the only thing that could turn out to be annoying, even with its elevated confidence.

But did he know how many arrows Alex had?

*Woosh**Pierce*

"Man, when are you gonna run out of arrows?"

The demon, who tried to grab the arrow before it hit him, only for it to change its trajectory, muttered in frustration before he pulled the arrow out of his thigh.

*Sckilck*

His eyes locked on Alex, who always kept a distance from him, but as he saw another arrow getting knocked on Alex's bow, the demon frowned.

"You think I will just stand here and let you keep at it?"

The demon growled as it had enough.

It had been trying to take it easy for a while, thinking that Alex couldn't run away now, and it knew that Alex really wouldn't be able to run away from it, but now the guy was just being annoying.

"Here, take it."

*Grip**Woosh*

Then, with its grip tightening around the arrow, the beast shot the arrow at Alex.

*Step*

Alex, on the other hand, just moved aside; his eyes squinted as he knew that the demon was about to get serious now.

It had already fallen for the same trick thrice, and Alex knew that it wouldn't happen again, especially with the demon really getting serious.

Each time, the demon would let its body get pierced by the arrow, and then it would break it and throw it away, only to have the arrowhead shot at it the next instant.

Alex, who dodged the arrow, had his eyes widened the next second as he saw the demon right in front of him with its fist balled up.

'Battle analytics.'

Alex hurriedly activated his battle analytics—something he had deactivated since the demon was just playing around and not really serious.

But...

*Baam*

Alex was a bit late to react, and although his eyes could follow the movement, the punch was already delivered by then.

"Up you go."

The demon grinned as it finally got the satisfaction it was yearning for—it was finally getting the feel of a human body.

*Woosh*

Alex's body was thrown back, a bit above the ground, not letting him gain a footing, but the demon didn't seem to have any intention of letting him have a breather now.

*Boom*

"More punched coming up!"

It smashed its feet on the ground, zooming toward Alex, who was still mid-air.

The AI, undeterred by any of this, kept at its work of giving Alex the idea of how long before the demon healed itself again.

At first, Alex had a doubt: What if the demon didn't heal its injuries every 30 seconds? What if it waited for its wounds to get serious before it used the healing skill?

His concern was waved off as he saw the demon just shrugging off its wounds, healing them every 30 seconds.

It had a lot of mana to expand, as the stat that it had the highest was the mana, so maybe that was the reason why it didn't think too much about it.

How could the demon have known that the more it heals, the more it helps Alex?

A sharp glint passed through Alex's eyes before he waved his hand, still trying to gain a foothold.

*Woosh*

The arrow that the demon had thrown at Alex was now shot back at it, causing it to growl in frustration.

"You want me to break it? Then you're going to shoot the arrowhead at me when I throw it away, right?"

It could already guess Alex's next course of action, but it frowned as it didn't understand Alex's motive.

*Pierce*

The arrow came and embedded itself on its left chest, right where the heart was supposed to be, but it couldn't penetrate its defenses completely; all it could do was cause blood to splurt out.

*Step**Step*

This moment of respite, however, gave Alex time to land on his feet, his dagger clenched hard in his hand.

'Would you be able to make an ability with what you have?'

Alex questioned inwardly, frowning as he saw the demon not pulling the arrow out of its chest.

"I will just keep it here; what do you think?"

The demon spoke as its sharp black eyes stared at Alex's face, and the moment it saw the frown, it knew that it did foil Alex's plan a bit before it rushed at Alex.

Alex, who was expecting a positive reply from the AI, frowned as a grim expression made its way to his face.

He could hear the countdown from the AI, but...

*Baam*

"Arghh!"

The demon had already punched him hard enough to send him sliding back for some meters.

Alex could end this fight in just half a minute if he used all of his abilities and did his best, but the AI wanted him to stall for around a minute now.

There was no other option left for him then.

It was time for him to get serious as well. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

*Thud*

'Death's command.'

'Killing intent.'

The moment his body came in contact with the ground, he activated both of the abilities at the same time, pushing all of his mana within them.

It was time for him to use the new item he had created, but for that, he needed a second or two, which wouldn't be possible if the demon kept punching him, so he revealed two of his cards.

"Wha—!"

The demon, who suddenly felt a wave of killing intent clashing against his mental barrier, froze for a second.

The difference between Alex's and the demon's mana stats was high—high enough for the demon to not get much effect by skills like these.

But that is where willpower came into play.

The demon was relaxed and not really hungry for victory, as it just wanted to torture Alex, but Alex was giving his best.

If that was not enough, Alex had emptied his mana pool for those two abilities that he had activated.

It was true that level 20 and level 25 were a huge difference, but what if a level 20 being uses half of its mana in a legendary ranked skill?

Would it still not affect the one with level 25 mana?

It would, and it would be enough to cause a mortal wound on the level 25 entity—that is, if it were an attack-related ability.

What about Alex's mind-freezing and illusionary abilities?

Well, the results were clear...
