'Hm, that was a strong attack....'
A guy with a height of 3 meters muttered inwardly as he saw the brightness of the 'Fiery Cataclysm' from afar.
He was quite a distance away as he walked with his hands behind his back.
The guy was wearing nothing other than a pant on his body.
He was walking bare-chested, but if a human saw him, they wouldn't call him bare-chested since he had dark grey scales covering his whole body.
He had a large body and with every step he took, the ground would vibrate a bit.
Unlike normal humans, his face was covered in scales just like his whole body, and instead of having a face that was shaped like a human, his face was like that of a lizard, but there were razor-sharp teeth inside of his mouth.
His legs and hands were just like humans, the only difference was that they were covered in scales, and they were bulky.
His body looks like a walking mountain.
'Those humans are strong enough to make me move some muscles....'
The guy spoke as he looked at his fist that was clenched without him noticing it, and if he could see his face, then he would notice that he had a wide battle-thirsty smile on his face. .net
His razor-sharp teeth were shining as he grinned unknowingly.
This guy was just 18 years old, although he didn't look like one.
But there was one thing that he was always dissatisfied with.
"Being a prodigy is boring."
He was a renowned prodigy; he was so good that he had yet to find someone who could survive one hit of his in the same age group as him.
So, being able to freely fight someone made him excited since he could tell that the ones he was going to face were strong.
However, he soon calmed down.
'First, I need to try negotiating a deal with them.
If they disagree, then just kill them and wait for the next batch to come.'
He knew his task, and he knew the consequences of failing the task, so he calmed down.
But then he realized that he was already quite close to the humans he was walking toward.
'Huh?!'
He snapped his head toward the guy in the group.
'What was that?'
He didn't know why, but he felt like was standing naked for a second, like his secrets were open for everyone to know, but the moment he looked at the guy, that feeling was gone.
'Must be my imagination...'
He muttered to himself before he looked at the guy.
'He looks like the leader of the group.'
Drakin could tell that the guy was somehow the leader of the group, even though he was weaker than the girls, by looking at the way the girls were standing a step behind him.
"Are you the strongest humans on this planet?"
Drakin asked in a deep, loud voice.
Alice spoke as she tried to stop laughing.
"You think you are stronger than me?????"
Drakin asked dumbfoundedly.
'Can they not tell that I'm EX-ranked??'
Drakin could only think that Alex, Alice, and Ann couldn't gauge his level, after all, it was obvious (to Drakin) who was the stronger one here.
But after the dumbfoundedness came anger—a surge of anger that made his blood boil.
'I was mocked!'
He just realized that he was being mocked earlier.
*Boom*
Drakin took a step toward them and just as he did that, he released the pressure of his low-tier EX-ranked mana.
*Fwoosh*
However, the next second, Alex waved his hand, and all the pressure in the air got pushed back.
"Ah, I can use EX-ranked stats now..."
Alex muttered as he stretched his muscles.
"Huh?"
Drakin, on the other hand, was shocked again.
'How did he grow stronger....?'
Drakin could feel Alex had grown stronger, even if he couldn't, just the fact that Alex could push away his mana pressure was enough to tell him that Alex was now an EX-ranker.
'But how?'
Drakin didn't understand how Alex could do it, but just then Alice spoke.
"Why do you suppress your power in the first place? Unlike us, you have perfect control over your powers."
"Well, let's just say that it is more fun that way."
Alex replied with a smile and then he turned toward Drakin, who was looking at them with an expression that looked a mix of realization, shock, rage, and excitement.
'Oh?'
But then Alex raised a brow as he saw a battle-hungry smile forming on Drakin's face.
"Come, let me give you a lesson, your last lesson:
'Just because you are strong doesn't mean you are the strongest.'
Remember that in your next life."
Drakin grinned as he looked at Alex, and although the lack of response or reaction from Alex seemed a bit odd to him, he still gestured for Alex to come at him.
