Chapter 250: Rage

Alex could feel a dreadful aura and danger, even more than the half-draco he had faced before as a kids.

Luciel's body was now floating, her silver hair fluttering like there was wind, as it started turning black from the roots.

Her eyes opened, but instead of blue eyes, what was there was black without any pupils.

"Mother!" Elvira, in panic, screamed as she dashed forward to Luciel without thinking.

As she got close, Luciel raised her palm, her lips grinning in a creepy manner, showing all her white teeth.

Alfred instinctively jumped in between them.

CHOMP!

From Luciel's beautiful palm, a pair of lips appeared. It opened wide, and its tongue shot out, taking Alfred like a frog eating its prey.

In an amazing display, the moment Alfred came close to the mouth, it was like Alex putting the creature in the awecube. His whole body disappeared.

This moment maybe short, but for Alfred this second last like eternity, he doesn't regret what he had done. His memories run trough his mind like a movie, he has taken care Elvira since she was a child. Being there for her as her parents busy with their work.

Playing, studying, even sometime reprimand her. For Alfred Elvira is like his own daughter.

'Young lady I am sorry, I leave you first. I hope one day you could have carefree smile in your face once more without any burden.'

The mouth start chewing, creating a crunching sound of bones.

"ALFRED!!!!! NO!!!!!", Elvira screamed in horror.

Tears came out from her eyes, her lips started moving quickly to cast a spell, but at this moment Alex reacted, "Zorgath, bring the woman and escape! Petricia, evacuate the city!" Alex ordered, not even bothering to keep a low profile.

The situation was dire. He also told Vexgore to start evacuating the city.

He didn't care how they did it, making havoc and chaos, anything, as long as people started escaping.

Petricia and Zorgath did not question his order and started moving. Both of them jumped out of the window.

As they escaped, Luciel didn't stand still. Her hair moved like tentacles shooting toward them.

Alex focused his qi and lifeforce on his feet, then hit the ground.

SWOSH!

The next moment, he appeared in front of the window with an Embershift hammer in his hand.

BAM!

He hit the hair, creating an explosion of kinetic energy that destroyed part of the wall.

MingYue took out her twin frostbite. She went all out from the start.

"ROAR!!!" Two roars of fox reverberated in the air as a chilling temperature started spreading, freezing everything.

MingYue, in graceful movement, made her motion look like a dance and started her secret technique, Absolute Zero Tempest.

The tip of her sword created ice as it moved in the air, each time it appeared, it turned into a life-like ice fox that leaped at Luciel.

Swosh! PRang! Sowsh!

But they were met with an attack from Luciel using the tongue coming out from her hand.

Every time the fox was destroyed, it would explode into ice, effectively freezing part of the tongue.

After a few times, Luciel took the tongue back. Instead, she moved part of her hair to parry MingYue's attack.

As the amount of hair that blocked Alex reduced, he used the opportunity.

He executed the same movement technique, appearing behind Luciel. The Embershift hammerhead glowed in orange as Alex focused an extreme level of heat.

BANG!

His hammer hit her back, launching her into the air, destroying the wall, and out of the mansion.

Seeing this, Alex frowned. "Dammit! She is escaping!"

MingYue was confused when she heard this, as she thought Alex's attack should have damaged Luciel since it was enough to launch her into the air.

But Alex's ability told him otherwise. Luciel did this on purpose.

The moment his hammer hit, she used it as momentum to launch herself out of the mansion.

MingYue didn't ask since she knew now was not the time. She dashed forward, pursuing Luciel, each of her steps creating ice lotuses in the air.

Alex quickly followed behind her.

'MingYue, it seems after taking over Luciel's body, the creature is lacking something.

After eating Alfred, she could control her hair to fight. We shouldn't let her eat more people.'

MingYue replied with a nod. But unfortunately, they were too late.

When they reached outside, the once peaceful city had already turned into hell.

It had only been a few seconds, but they could already see many black hairs spreading around the city.

At the center of it, a massive ball of hair with a mouth in the middle was grinning at them.

Screams of panic and terror filled the area, followed by the sound of spells being cast, explosions, and buildings falling to the ground.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck!' Alex cursed angrily in his head as what he saw reminded him of the past.

He felt he had failed again, even after gaining the system, cultivation, and even progenitor power, nothing had changed. He was still the same powerless kid that couldn't protect anything.

Rage blinded his mind.

Without care, he used all his qi and lifeforce. Flames ignited from the Embershift hammer, followed by the roar of a fox.

The flames kept growing hotter, from red to orange and yellow, and then they were barely visible.

The flame turned white, creating a sizzling heat that even scorched the air, making a hallucination-like effect where the area around the hammer appeared to vibrate.

Alex then used the same step, appearing above the creature, his hammer raised high in the sky, turning large enough that it looked like it could squish the creature in one hit.

SWOOSH!

The creature, in response, pulled almost all its hair back, turning it into something similar to Alex's hammer, and then met the attack head-on.

MingYue watched the fight with disbelief. It was the first time she had seen Alex lose his mind.

Her eyes looked around; the damage from Alex's attack was very destructive; it didn't care who is enemy or ally. Even at a distance, it had already started burning some of the houses.
