Chapter 106 : Alex vs En (2)
'Where the f*ck is he?' Wondered En as his eyes darted from right to left, trying to spot Alex; unfortunately, he couldn't see his opponent nor feel his presence using mana, which made him anxious.
So, he did something that, at that moment, he thought was logical and started launching earth projectiles all around himself in the hope of deterring Alex from approaching him.
Unbeknownst to En, he wasn't the only one that couldn't sense Alex; be it Grace, Adrian, Candace, Victoria, or the others, no one among them could sense him, which was shocking.
However, the most shocked among everyone was Alice, since even with her god's eyes, she couldn't spot Alex in the smoke.
Unlike the others that couldn't see through the thick smoke and needed to use their mana to sense what was happening in the cloud of smoke, Alice could easily see through the smoke and witness what was happening in the arena; she could see En frantically look from left to right while attacking in every direction, but that is where the problem lay. She could see the entire arena, but she still couldn't see her father!
It needs to be reminded that Alice God's eyes allowed her to peer into anything as long as she wished; not even Anna's ability could fool her, so why couldn't she spot her father?
'Did I lose my God's eyes?' Wondered Alice, but as quickly as she had this thought, she discarded it. If she didn't still possess God's eyes, then how was she able to peer beyond the smoke?
What Alice didn't know was that while she may have eyes allowing her to peer into anything, it was a matter of potential. There were many things she couldn't penetrate yet, and it was only through rigorous training that she could truly reach a level where nothing could hide from her. Fortunately, she came to this realization after seeing, or rather, not seeing, her father within the smoke.
Meanwhile, Adrian could be seen in a corner of the arena with sweat dripping from his forehead.
'How am I supposed to stop him if he launches an attack powerful enough to mortally wound En if I can't see him act ?'
Now that he couldn't spot one of the fighters, his task of stopping any lethal attack turned out to be more complicated than expected.
'Where are you, brat?'
While everyone was looking out for him, Alex was hundreds of meters from En, far enough that En's earth projectiles couldn't touch him, standing still with his hands stretched.
What he was trying to do right now was enhance the corrosive attribute of the smoke, yes, corrosive attribute.
As time passed, the sounds of footsteps intensified within the smoke, prompting En to identify the direction of the approaching threat and direct his earth projectiles towards Alex.
Alex could see the projectiles heading straight for him, aimed at impaling him. Nevertheless, he continued walking, not bothering to slow down his footsteps.
He didn't fear those projectiles; if he wished, he could have moved silently, appearing beside En and striking him before the latter could defend himself. However, he refrained from such a stealthy approach. The reason for all the noise was, in fact, to draw En's attention, prompting him to launch projectiles. Only for En to despair when realizing that these projectiles couldn't even scratch him.
As the projectiles were a mere two meters from him, Alex still continued to walk forward, and the moment the projectiles were one meter from him, they suddenly disappeared—no, dissolved!
The corrosive attribute of the smoke around Alex's body was so potent that it instantly corroded the earth projectiles!
Unaware of this, En still continued to fire the projectiles as the footsteps got closer and closer to him.
After a second or two, he spotted a figure approaching him and was sure that it was Alex, so he launched the projectiles with even more speed and force.
However, it seemed like anything was happening, but she still persevered and launched even more projectiles.
'What is going on? Why does it seem like I'm not touching him? ' Wondered En.
Dread slowly crept into his heart, but he pushed the feeling down and ceased launching projectiles, realizing they were clearly ineffective.
'Hmm, he stopped? Why, I was sure that he would continue to attack with the—oh, it's because of that?' Alex spotted the reason—or rather, the reasons—why En stopped launching the projectiles.
'It seems like his golems are finished'
He glanced at the golems, then at En's face, which was graced by a smile the moment his golems started moving.
'It's cute to see how he thinks those will save him,' thought Alex with a sinister smile.
