Chapter 398 397:Round Two

All the wounds on Riya's body disappeared instantly and her left broken and twisted arm was also mended at an astonishing rate.

Den and Hunter quickly stepped before Noah followed by all the Transcendent rank Knight.

Alex and Riya stared at the enemies with cold gazes.

A shuffling sound was heard and soon everyone saw a huge number of soldiers surrounding the place.

Alex looked at the soldiers with a confused expression and shouted"What are you all doing fall back now?"

Alex ordered but his orders fell on deaf ears.

Aeon leaned his head and spoke, "Your Highness, please let us fight with you."

"We may be useless against the Mythic rank but we will make sure to take down the others."

"Yes, Alex left them to us."

The soldiers at the front withdrew and Johnson walked out.

"We have 11 Transcendent Rank on our side. We can bring them down." Johnson muttered and behind him, the other Transcendent knight stood.

Alex knew about Barack and two others but the others were new faces to him.

Even with all of this, Alex wasn't sure about taking down the other side.

He knew that his opponent wanted to drag him down and kill him slowly and steadily.

Alex used that opportunity to tire Hunter while Riya tried to drag down Den as much as possible.

If only Noah knew about the Restore, he would have made sure to kill Alex from the very beginning but now there was no use in crying over the spilt milk.

Still, Alex's recovery to the peak had messed up Noah's mind.

Noah was mortified to see Alex who was on the verge of death was now brimming with life and vitality once again.

All his wounds had recovered along with his lost mana and in his current state, he was more intimidating when compared to before.

Beads of sweat trickled from Noah's forehead.

"Can you take him down?"Noah wiped out the sweat and asked.

"Though I am injured, he is still nothing?" Hunter muttered.

"We need to deal with the girl first then we both can take him down," Den muttered.

Alex and Riya stood at the front waiting for the other side.

Hush!

For a moment, a cadaverous silence lingered.

It was calm before the storm.

Then!

BANG!

Four miniature cracks appeared on the surface.

Four silhouettes disappeared from everyone's sight followed by loud blasts all around the place.

It was a signal of the war and under Aeon, Max and Johnson's command, each one of them began their charge.

SHIING!

Alex charged forward with incredible speed which made Hunter tense for a bit.

Hunter had pulled out another hammer and when Alex came into his range, his hammer shot forwards towards Alex with all its speed.

The strike of the hammer was incredibly fast and was carrying a great amount of momentum.

Alex was neither fast nor strong enough to parry the strike but that didn't mean he was helpless.

Instead of striking, Alex held his sword with both of his hands while pointing it straight at Hunter.

His sword excluded a sharp aura and was like a flame, while Alex's body was covered with a dense crimson aura which was enough to suffocate anyone who stepped closer to him.

BANG!

Like he had hit a wall, the great momentum generated by Hunter was stopped as his swing of the hammer was interrupted by a thick invisible wall.

While getting beaten and thrown around Alex had observed Hunter's movements and analysed each of them carefully.

He would run straight at the enemy and after the enemy exists within a distance of 5m, he would begin his swing.

The larger he swings his hammer, the greater the power is generated.

But Alex used his aura to constrict a barrier at a radius of 3m, where Hunter's body had just completed a half swing and before he could advance any further he hit an invisible wall which blasted him away.

It was like a javelin thrower who would run from a long distance and after gaining the desired momentum, he would start throwing it but if he was interrupted in the middle by placing an invisible glass slab, all his momentum would be rebounded to him and he would be thrown back.

Hunter was struck by his power which not only crashed onto him but was also amplified due to Alex's interference.

Hunter's figure was blasted away for 20 metres.

Alex's hands also shook due to the impact and his feet trembled along with the space around him due to the powerful force.

Alex stabilised himself and stepping forward, he angled his sword to strike Hunter.

Every time Hunter blocks or parries the attack, the huge hammerhead blocks his vision for a second or less which allows the enemy to alter the course of the attack though Hunter manages to take a change in opponent attacks at the very last moment.

Alex was exactly for this kind of opening.

Hunter tried to retract his hammer to block the attack but Alex spun his sword and slid down a bit by bending his body and struck one of Hunter's arms with the handle of his sword causing the hammer to fly back with one hand holding it.

Hunter's hammer was far extended essentially putting him out of balance and putting the hammer far away also pulled away his centre mass causing Hunter to stagger a bit.

Alex stepped closer to Hunter which made the other side panic and he tried to pull his hammer back despite getting cramps due to the unexpected pull.

At that time, Alex's sword was above Hunter and with the step he had taken, his stance was perfect for a devastating strike going downward.

Alex put all his strength and slashed.

Hunter spun the hammer by hitting the lower end of the handle, causing it to spin upward and then Alex's sword struck downward at the toe end of the hammer.

CRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Sparks flew and the end of the hammer shaft was sliced, and the tip of Alex's sword brushed past Hunter's torso creating a small cut.

Alex gritted his teeth due to frustration of missing the chance to deal a destructive blow

While Hunter stepped back into the attacking position.

'Sure enough.'

'One cannot underestimate the Mythic rank, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have made a bloody cut from his thigh to the feet making him lose his ability to use that right foot.'

While Alex engaged with Hunter, he made sure to keep an eye on Riya.

Alex stared at Riya who was struggling with Den. Riya's skills weren't enough to make her par with a Mythic rank.

Alex was about to charge at Hunter when a spell flew towards him.

BOOM!

Alex's feet were dragged back by a few steps but he blocked the attack.

He saw Noah preparing spells and attacking him and soon many thick vines sprouted from the ground and shot towards him.

"Hunter attacks him now. I will trap him now."

"Shit! Did I have to fight two versus one now?" Alex murmured as tried to dodge the vines coming after him like whips.
