"Brother Kurdis, stop playing around and finish it up quickly, we can't spend too much time this close to the human territory!"
The human like alien spoke out, presumably to the beast like alien that had just been stabbed and killed by Alex.
It seemed the other three hadn't noticed what had happened quite yet, which humoured Alex a little.
His acting was so good that their guard was completely down, and like the fools they were, they didn't even consider the fact that he might have done such a thing.
They could feel Alex's aura, as he was purposely exposing it for them.
In their eyes, a mere D tier Mutant class couldn't do anything to C+ rank Variant classes like them.
Seeing that the other three hadn't noticed anything yet, Alex decided to play it to his advantage.
He reassumed his previous act of being terrified, but put on a 'brave face' and decided to throw a weak punch at Kurdis's corpse, acting like he was putting his all into the punch, but having it do absolutely nothing to Kurdis.
"..."
"..."
Seeing what Alex did, there was a momentary silence, but that only lasted for a second.
The other three aliens burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"I take it back, this human is as stupid as the rest of them. He can't even tell the gap between himself and his enemies!"
The human like alien spoke, pointing at Alex while he held his stomach in laughter.
"Kurdis, I think you should show him what happens when people fight back against us."
He pointed at Kurdis, and made a suggestion.
The facade of them letting Alex live was finally starting to slip.
They weren't even trying to hide it anymore.
"Kurdis?"
But their laughter slowly died down and their faces gradually grew concerned and confused when they noticed that their comrade hadn't made a single movement at all since the start of this amusing situation.
"W-What!? He's dead!"
The durability was at 90%, regenerating to 92% after Alex had stalled the four of them for a few minutes.
And that silver fist attack just now had only done a total of 3% of damage to it!
Considering the amount of power the pirate put behind that attack, Alex doubted that they could throw out another 30 of them between all three of them to break through the entire shield.
Seeing that they had preoccupied themselves with breaking his shield, Alex leisurely returned back to his ship, and moved over to the main deck.
He may be locked in place thanks to their ship's tractor beams, but all his other systems were working just fine.
Like the weapons systems!
President Price said that it had the capability to produce a single Variant class B tier shot, capable of even blowing a small moon apart, but that would require every ounce of energy his ship had to offer.
Alex wasn't going to do something silly like use such a system at this moment.
Besides, he didn't need to go so overkill against those three idiots outside.
He adjusted the output of his weapons to just C+ rank Variant class, which drastically reduced the energy usage.
Unlike the four pirate crafts that had his ship locked in place, Alex's weapons were omnidirectional.
"AI, lock onto the three idiots currently attacking our shield outside."
Alex spoke to the AI assistant in a casual tone, as if he wasn't even being attacked right now and instead was having a relaxing spa.
"Targets locked, sir."
It only took a moment for it to reply.
"Fire the weapons, two shots for each just to make sure."
At that moment, six plasma cannons appeared from the confines of Alex's ship exterior.
Previously hidden, their 10 metre long barrels revealed themselves in all their glory, bringing quite a scary look to his ship now that they were out.
The three pirates looked at them with shock and horror when they saw them appear.
In their own arrogance and stupidity, they had failed to consider the fact that they were in the middle of a warzone!
Practically every ship in this system was fitted with weapons, though most were not as high calibre as Alex's.
