Chapter 463 Lucky Break (II)

Alex stopped using his eyes of ancient to witness the changes to the appearance of Fulgor, whose golden hair was now tendrils of pristine white lightning, with his skin turning as white as snow and visible underneath it was nothing but tongues of pulsing lightning.

It was a strange sight for Alex because, with a quick look with his eyes of the ancient, he knew that Fulgor's figure was neither entirely physical nor elemental, as it constantly shifted between the two like a ghost going in and out of reality.

Alex had seen pure Elementals, whose entire being was of some element, yet even they had physical organs essential to maintain their life, but the same did not seem to be the case for Fulgor, as in one instant, his heart, lungs, brain and other organs were physical and the next they were nothing but a raging cluster of lightning.

The other thing that Alex noticed was that Fulgor's vitality, which had stayed at above 90%, was rapidly draining, as if whatever skill he was using was burning through it with an insane speed.

Fulgor's joyous laughter reverberated through the surroundings, appearing to be a mix of human and crackling thunder.

The sky underwent a drastic change as the once-clear sky began to get shrouded in dense clouds of pure crackling white lightning that covered tens of meters with each passing moment.

Fulgor was losing 2% health with each passing moment, yet he did not seem bothered by the urgency of his situation, keeping his eyes set on the Quetzalcoatl, who had a storm of elemental fury raging around him, the damage to his body almost fully recovered and the effect of its primal rage removing the limitation on his body, pushing him to his peak.

Alex kept charging his blade for a final attack but slowed down the mana output, recognizing that maybe he still had a chance to bridge the damage contribution and secure a victory.

While in his current state, a fight against the Quetzalcoatl, who outclassed him in every aspect, could certainly end in his first-ever official death.

But Alex could care less about it when a promising battle with stakes even higher than his clash against the fallen Seraphian was being offered to him.

"RRROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Alex used his darkness manipulation to pop his shoulders back, as his natural regeneration worked to repair the damage while he got back to preparing another strike.

While Alex only had mana for pair more attacks, that was not of concern because he could always return to his peak state before he joined the fight against Magnus.

But even then, he would stay mentally drained, and even with his tangible peak, he would be just a lamb ready to be slaughtered, so he needed to ensure his last pair strikes did the most damage.

Alex kept his eyes peeled, waiting for the Quetzalcoatl to tear through the dome of lightning and darkness, with a small system window at the corner of his notifying him that he had 3.1% damage with his last strike, a disappointing number but one that he expected.

Alex saw a blur and felt the incoming threat, and he immediately got out of sync with space and time, making his form intangible, and a mere fraction later, a claw ripped through his body.

Without a moment's delay, Alex used the void step to build distance, yet the instant he appeared hundreds of meters away, he could still sense the monstrous presence in the void.

So Alex could do nothing but try to chain in the second step before the timer of intangibility ran out, and while he failed to do it in time, luck seemed to be still on his side.

The speed at which Quetzalcoatl was moving was nothing but a blur to Alex, but it seemed the same was not true for Fulgor, as he came like a bolt of lightning, kicking the creature in the face.

There was a massive impact followed by a shock wave of immense kinetic energy and lightning buildup, sending the creature flying back like a bullet and forcing Alex to slide back.

'Well, it looks like using the Monarch Aura three times in four weeks has really affected my senses,' Alex thought, knowing that with his boosted mental capability because of Arcane Trance, he should not be so outclassed to not even see the attack coming.

But Alex could not complain at this point, not when the Quetzalcoatl health was down by 5.7%, meaning they just needed to drop it by another 7% to gain a crushing victory, so he clenched his jaw and made a last push.
