Under everyone's astonishing gaze, the body of the Pseudo Epic rank falls on the ground like a piece of dried twig with a large gaping hole in its chest while the heart and pieces of meat had been scattered into dust by Alex's punch which no one was able to witness.
THUD!
As his body fell to the ground, the remnants of the enemy forces woke up under the pile of debris and rubble.
The Pseudo Epic rank started to gather around.
Each of them had suffered a grievous wound due to the previous attack and many had also severe burns all over their bodies.
The thought that the earlier might surely be a Tier 8 magic spell if not Tier 9.
Riya and Christina looked at Alex back and his silent expression.
Although he seemed to be calmed on the surface one could see the raging volcano underneath.
The Pseudo Epic rank decided to gang up on Alex and finish him no matter what.
Riya, Christina, Mordek and Longard stepped forward to help Alex but he raised his hand.
"Recuperate and replenish yourself. I will take care of them." Alex ordered and threw the staff towards Riya while he walked towards the battlefield.
"I have cleared a path for you. Christina will take charge and invade Amidon's border." Alex ordered and Christina immediately made preparations.
There were 6 Pseudo Epic ranks before him which could give one hell of a run.
Alex with a fearless and cold expression on his face unsheathed his sword and took his stance putting his left leg forward.
"Devil Stance!!" He muttered faintly.
A burst of killing intent erupted from his body which condensed into a cloud of crimson colour around him giving him a blood aura.
Behind him, the bloody aura seemed to condense into a Majesty figure which was supporting him.
Alex's eyes grew as dark as a black hole that could swallow everything.
The Pseudo Epic rank pushed the soldiers towards Alex before stepping forward.
They wanted to deplete Alex's strength as they thought the previous spell might have already taken a toll on him.
They just have to exhaust him and then kill him effortlessly.
Moreover, seeing Alex drawing his sword after casting the spell they thought that he must be a magic swordsman who was always considered subpar compared to others.
Alex's eyes flickered with coldness as he perceived their thoughts.
Seeing the mass of enemies coming at him, he raised his sword.
[Devil Stance, First Form Trial]
Alex's sword flickered and he struck his sword towards them.
Swish!!!
A flash of light flickered and the soldiers coming toward Alex were blown away like pieces of paper and they felt an invisible blade pass through their bodies
The enemies on the frontline were cut like pieces of vegetable and their body was severed and the pieces of their body fell in the air along with a drizzle of blood.
The second wave of soldiers was horrified by the scene, still, under the six Epic rank pushl, they didn't stop their movements.
A Pseudo Epic rank was unable to take it anymore and rushed towards Alex.
While Pseudo Epic rank followed by the soldiers were making their move, Alex noticed a flick and he reacted as fast as possible.
BOOOOOOOM!
An arrow as fast as lightning struck Alex whose body was forced a few steps back due to fierce impact.
Alex was barely able to react and complete the magic to cast the barrier.
A Pseudo Epic rank archer on the other side sneaked in to attack him and kill him in one blow but he failed miserably and worst of all, he drew Alex's attention and blew away his cover.
Alex gripped his sword tightly and took a huge leap and jumped toward him.
Alex just waved his sword and the heads of the soldiers started to roll on the ground.
The archer was startled and loaded the arrow, firing at Alex with his full strength.
DUSSSH!
The soldiers before him were blown away by the terrifying impact of the arrow which shot toward Alex like a missile.
[Devil Stance, Second Form Judgement]
Fierce coercion burst from Alex as he swung his sword.
The mighty arrow coming before him was snapped into two and before the archer could react an invisible blade struck him and went past him cutting him two half neatly.
His eyes stood open with a flash of disbelief as eternal darkness slowly covered his vision.
"It's not over," Alex shouted while covering his sword with a crimson aura.
[Devil Stance, Third Form Punishment]
As soon as Alex unleashes the third form, a huge blade materialises and cuts everything in his path.
The Pseudo Epic rank who tried to defend against felt helpless and soldiers were crushed and shattered into countless pieces.
The remaining Epic ranks tried to put everything on the line and started to burn the life force.
All of them decided to kill Alex even though they have to end their life.
Alex sneered at them after seeing them coming at him.
It was akin to a moth attracted to a flame before dying.
Alex activated his demonic aura which gave him a monstrous look.
A series of flames started to burn over his sword, and a bright red flame exploded from Alex's body which set fire to everything that was around him.
The corpse underneath him started to burn under the scorching heat.
"Hell's Fire is amazing!" Alex murmured as he saw the destruction it was causing while spreading slowly.
Within an instant, Alex soared into the sky and covered over two hundred metres in an instant and activated an acceleration to make his attack stronger.
His body plummeted down towards the Pseudo rank who attacked him trying to kill him before his descent.
Alex raised his sword and slashed furiously over them.
[Devil Stance, Fourth Form, Atonement]
All of them were horrified by the might of the descending attack and felt the fear of death and before they could react, they were hit by a strong impact.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
