Alex cursed as he saw Noctura's claw right above his head.
He had his stats suppressed to SS-rank and Noctura was someone who could fight someone who was a rank higher than herself, so it was not possible to dodge an attack from her, not when it was this close and not when he needed to remain unscathed.
'Temporal pause!' Alex exclaimed as the time paused for a second.
Although it was for a second, it was enough for Alex to get away.
But he didn't stop.
'I need to finish this quick,' Alex thought as he covered his fists with rock and jumped up in the air.
Alex had some cards left to use, but he didn't want to.
However, he didn't want to lose as well.
Alex knew that Noctura's ability was annoying, and it would be hard to find her once she disappeared again, so he decided to deal with her first.
None of them here were weak, all of them were strong enough to fight against someone with a rank higher than theirs, so Alex, who had his powers suppressed couldn't just take it easy anymore.
Alex jumped in the air and Superman punched Noctura.
His punch landed right at the moment the 'Temporal Pause' broke, and for Noctura, the last thing she saw was Alex's rock-covered fist in front of her face before she was knocked out.
'I failed, mama,' This was her last thought.
Temporal Pause is strong, no doubt about it, but you can't trap an elephant with ropes, the most you can do is stop it for a while.
That's what happened here.
Noctura was strong and she was growing stronger every day, not to talk about her bloodline which was ranked quite high, so it was not surprising that she could break free of the temporal pause.
Alex could've used 99% of his mana to trap her in it for longer but he did it so quickly that he didn't notice that.
But he got the small pause he needed to take down Noctura and he did just that.
'Two down, one more to go.'
Alex then turned toward Alice only to find another blazing beam coming at him.
"This again?" Alex raised his brow as he dodged the blazing beam with ease.
"You cheated!" Alice shouted from where she was standing.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
'When did I cheat?' He really didn't get what Alice was talking about.
He would suck on her lips, lick her lips, and sometimes just peck her lips, but he continued doing it for a while.
Alice who tried to catch Alex's lips again and again was now breathing roughly as she looked at Alex with tears in her eyes.
'Why is he so annoying?!?!'
She knew what he wanted; she could tell that just from the smug expression on his face.
"What do you want?!" Alice exclaimed as she licked her own lips, trying to taste whatever taste of Alex's lips was left there.
"You lost, right?" Alex asked again, and this time....
"Yes! Yes, I lost, so please stop teasing-" Alice stomped her foot but again her words were cut short as Alex kissed her again.
But this time, he didn't back away, instead, he moved his tongue in Alice's mouth.
'What?!' Alice widened her eyes, but when she felt the sensation, she started melting in Alex's arms.
They started sucking on each other's tongue but just then....
*Brrrrr**Brrrrr**Brrrrr*....
The sound of the phone's vibration was heard, and it broke the rosy atmosphere that was starting to form around Alice and Alex.
Alice and Alex looked at each other for a while before Alex chuckled.
"Go pick it up, it must be important."
Alex spoke as he gave Alice another peck on her lips.
Alice nodded her head as she touched her lips absentmindedly.
'It was so good....'
Even though they had done the deed, it was her first time kissing like this, it honestly felt too good to her.
But then she heard the vibration on her phone again and she turned toward it with an annoyed expression.
'Who is it?!?!'
Alice screamed inwardly as she rushed toward the boulder she had placed her phone on, leaving Alex, who was chuckling as he looked at her antiques behind.
