While the Prison Of Sacredness was stopping and suppressing Wolfgang, who was trying his best to get out of the prison that was restricting him, Alex who stood outside was trying to condense his strength to give a final blow.
There was no chance of a second time and Alex needed to finish everything now. The Goddess Buff was one of the most important trump cards he had in his arsenal and naturally, it wouldn't last long.
Though all of his strength had been restored and he was feeling refreshed, a greater feeling of tiredness and exhaustion would assault him once it was over as it consumed too much mana to maintain the state.
And on top of that, it wasn't of any help when it comes to soul damage and instead of keeping it at bay, the pain in his head was growing stronger and stronger.
If before, the pain was like someone hitting a hammer in his head. Currently, it was akin to five to six workers drilling his head with machines.
He didn't know whether it was due to the element of darkness lingering somewhere in his body which was constantly clashing against the blessing due to Goddess Bluff or it was something else but his condition was really bad to the point that his vision was becoming blurry occasionally.
He was feeling nauseous and uneasy.
"I will finish this in one blow," Alex murmured while breathing heavily.
Pressing forward, he clenched his fist while transferring his strength.
Light started to gather in his fist. A sharp reddish aura with a bright golden glow coated his fist wholly and then it extended towards his whole arm.
The light started glowing more brightly like a beautiful emerging sun at dawn.
Alex clenched his teeth, to shake away his blurry vision and immediately took his position.
Cold sweats could be seen dropping from his forehead like a waterfall.
Alex noticed the prison wall before him being torn apart by a beam of a dark colour, the strength that erupted from it was quite frightening and it not only drilled a hole into the ceiling but it also collided with the wall and destroyed a narrow passage from which lava started to pour out slowly.
"This bastard doesn't know how to lie low..." Alex gritted his teeth and waited for Wolfgang to emerge.
Alex saw his pathetic appearance and his half burnt body with a dry look as if life had been sucked out of him.
A playful emerged from Alex's lips and he said"Took you long enough. I have been waiting for you to come out."
"Since you are eager for death, let me deliver it to you," Alex muttered and changed forward and his image disappeared from his position.
Wolfgang stood rooted at the moment. He didn't avoid the gaze nor was he able to give away because Alex was already before him with an incredible speed which was fast enough, even for his eyes to glimpse the figure.
Alex's whole body burst with a dazzling light and Alex's fist slammed against Wolfgang's head and his upper body burst suddenly.
Alex's fist was like a knife that had been sharpened for beheading him.
His head along with his neck exploded into mini particles of meat and blood drenching Alex's face wholly.
Pieces of the grey matter of the brain flew in the air.
The body of Wolfgang tried to react by throwing claws and sharp knife-like feathers at Alex but it was all for a nought as Alex avoided it easily and struck Wolfgang's body which flew back and fell into the hot boiling lava.
"Yewukkk!"
Alex stuck out his tongue with a distorted expression. The taste of pieces of meat and that blood entered Alex's mouth gave him the urge to puke.
The taste was similar to food thrown and left into the trash for many days.
Alex spat and moved towards the huge prison cage. With a flick of his sword, he cut the prison into halves.
Alex saw 28 unconscious people. Out of them, 12 were humans, 6 were elves and the remaining were dwarfs and some kind of beastman and all were quite young.
Alex was surprised to see three people from the academy whom he didn't know.
All of them had pained expressions on their face and one could see tears falling from some kids.
Only God knows what kind of nightmare they have suffered.
Alex waves his hands and a golden ray of light bursts forth and falls over them.
A warm and fuzzy feeling washed over them and their pained expression seemed to be relieved to some extent.
Their expressions became bliss as if they were now in dreamland but soon their burrows furrowed and as they opened their eyes to look at the dark space, the dam of tears started to burst again.
"Don't worry, I have come here to rescue you all."
"You are all safe for the time being."
Alex's voice resounded in the dark space and soon various orbs of fireball lit up lighting the whole space.
All of their eyes fell on Alex who seemed to be shining like an angel in their eyes.
"Alex senpai!"
The three students of the academy rubbed their eyes to see whether it was true or not along with others.
Everyone looked around for the monster but found him nowhere.
As soon as everyone saw Alex, a ray of hope appeared due to Alex's presence, they fell onto their knees and held their head low with dishevelled hair and hot teary eyes.
Sob….Sob...
Sniff...Sniff...
"We have been starving for a few days. They don't even feed us water and we rely on magic to summon water to drink."
"Please take us out of this place. I want to see light. It feels stuffy."
Alex heard the loud cries and pleas which were making his ears dumb. His back was already sweating profusely thinking about how to coax them as most of them were children.
"Don't cry...I will take you out. Don't cry."
As Alex tried to deal with them, a small feeble half-Elf girl of 14 years of age named Shrestha, came forward and pulled Alex's sleeves.
With a weeping face, she spoke "Brother, my father works for a nobleman in Zenith, if you save me I promise to reward you handsomely and I would even recommend you to the noble household."
Hearing the girl's words, the others tried to find a reason to force Alex to help them as most of them were unable to believe that Alex would protect them all in case of an adverse situation.
A dwarf boy came forward and patted his chest and promised to ask his father to make a good weapon for him.
While a girl with two pointy cat ears and a tail promises to become his slave if he saves her.
Many of the beastman present here were slaves who were going to be trafficked and in a way were caught in this situation.
Some of their sisters and friends were already taken away and didn't return.
Alex looked at the cute and innocent teary gazes and felt as if his heart had been cut apart by a sharp one.
A strong flame of desire to protect these kids arose in his heart and he clenched his fist tightly.
