Chapter 111: Alex vs Talia (1)
"Why do you say it like we are going to do something lewd, pervert!" Exclaimed Talia with a disgusted face.
"I don't know what you are talking about" said Alex with a chuckle as he got up from his chair.
"I won't be long" he said to Amelia and Anna.
"Humph, you won't be coming back, I'm the one that's going to come back!" Exclaimed Talia as she walked past him.
"We will see about that in a few minutes I guess" replied Alex as he also made way to the arena.
"Here they go again" sighed Ava as she saw Talia and Alex walking in the arena while bantering like kids.
Talia, like Amelia and Anna, was also trained by Ava, mostly due to her possessing the same water manipulation ability as Ava. As a result, Alex and Talia spent a lot of time together growing up. However, since a certain incident during their teen years, the two have been at each other's throats every time they see each other.
'It would be nice if they could go back to how it used to be when they played together,' Ava wishes, as both Alex and Talia stand in front of each other.
"Ready?"
"Old man, you should stop asking if people are ready and directly start the fight, you are wasting our time" said Alex to Adrian.
Adrian's lips twitched hearing him, but he remained calm and glanced at Talia to make sure she was ready.
"Start!" Shouted Adrian after Talia nodded.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Once the fight started, Alex took out his pipe and took a puff, he had already chosen what he would use to make smoke in this fight.
He barely had time to exhale the smoke when a large wave, at least ten meters high, was coming toward him, intent on engulfing him.
For Talia, catching him became as difficult as trying to catch fish with bare hands. So, she merged all the arms and created one super large arm, 30 meters in height and 20 meters in width.
Despite the super large fist that descended on him with a deathly momentum, Alex remained calm.
The first thing he did was expand the smoke in one direction. When the fist was about to land on him, he pulled on the smoke, allowing himself to glide through the air. The smoke acted like a whip of some sort, helping him slip away from the huge fist.
Boom
The water fist collided with the ground and lost its structure, seconds later, Alex fell to the ground with not even a drop of water on him.
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
When he observed around him, Alex remarked that everyone was looking at him with wide eyes.
No one could believe what they had just witnessed, and it was normal to feel that way, they had just seen someone manipulating smoke as if it was something tangible, touching it and using as if it was a rope.
The only one that looked less surprised than the others, although she herself was pretty shocked, was Lilia.
She was the only person here aware of Alex's smoke sovereignty, but even she didn't think that one could touch the smoke element.
But it's not even that which shocked her. He was a true sovereign through and through. She had never seen someone like that, so she couldn't know what they were capable of. What was most shocking to her was that Alex managed to attain such a level in just a few hours of training. She didn't doubt that doing such a thing was difficult even for a sovereign, but here was Alex doing it like it was the most normal thing in the world.
'What kind of ridiculous growth speed is that ?'
