The Arkham soldier's face suddenly turned as pale as a sheet of paper as a man appeared running towards them and brandishing his sword.
BOOOM!
A frightening explosion occurred and the ground was cut apart along with the man who tried to defend against the blow.
With a single slash, Alex cleared a line of soldiers and halted them from advancing.
As they came to a standstill and tried to observe the enemy, Alex's image blurred and leaving behind after images, he appeared right before them and swung his sword.
KUAAK!
PUKK!
KUAH!
Groaning sounds echoed and cuts started to appear at their vital points and they started to lose their lives and fall to the ground one by one with a thud.
Slash!
The enemies stiffened for a moment seeing Alex coming out of nowhere alone like a lonely hero but it only lasted for a moment and they surged towards him but all of them were killed by a slash.
Alex, who had their blood splattered on him, went into the gap created due to their death without flinching back and cutting them down.
Nevertheless, it was a hazardous situation since Alex was alone and Arkham soldier's started to surround him from all sides trying to cut off all his doors to the retreat.
They rushed from all sides like waves of tides yet Alex was untouched and not a single attack of theirs was able to pierce through his defences.
Sometimes, the spears and swords went as close as hair breath and made it look as if it was going to pierce him but everything thrown at him was blocked at the last moment.
Alex felt a strong shot coming from the back and he sidestepped and swung his sword all around, taking a roundabout spin while raising his left hand.
BANG!
A strong gust followed shockwaves emitted as Alex held the spear that was thrust towards him.
Strong coercion occurred due to the clash which tried to push him back.
Alex stared at the Transcendent rank warrior who had a horrified expression as he wasn't able to pull back the spear from Alex's grasp.
It was as if the spear had been struck by a pair of pincers.
Alex then snatched and pulled the spear towards him.
The man's body jolted and twirled as it was suddenly pulled towards Alex.
The man took out a dagger and raised the small dagger trying to thrust it into Alex's shoulder but Alex's hands moved fast and with a swift movement, he chopped off his head.
And once he did that, he pulled back the spear and lunged forward while throwing the spear towards the enemy.
The spear emanated a bright light and shot like a missile.
With the force, Alex threw the spear, it went past the chest of five men making a bloody hole and struck at the chest of an Epic rank. Though he was not killed, the injury was surely life-threatening.
Alex landed straight ahead of the Arkham soldiers and attacked the other enemies in the vicinity.
CRACK!
The man at the front raised his shield to defend but this shield collapsed due to the hit of Alex's sword and the recoil caused everyone in the vicinity to be hit by a shockwave and send them flying.
Many tried to form a formation to defend themselves by raising their shield while the swordsman tried to pierce Alex, through the gap in the formation.
But Alex was just like a mad bull and after gathering all his momentum, he threw himself towards the formation while brandishing his sword with all his strength.
The formations collapsed as if it was made of a sheet of paper and those who tried to defend his attack were hit by a strong burst of shockwaves and their body was bounced after hitting the ground.
The enemies tried to counterattack and give their all to take him down but none one of them was able to touch a single strand of his air.
Alex continued to advance leaving behind a river of blood and corpses.
He blocked, dodged or attacked the enemies in the vicinity while moving forward and his steps weren't halted or pushed back no matter what kind of enemies appeared before him.
Alex's slaughter was starting to get noticed by other soldiers close to the gates and when many realised that a threat had appeared which was disrupting the present scenario, they decided to rush in to kill him from all sides.
When Alex appeared through the crowd, he killed a batch of 40 soldiers without much effort.
As all of them were at the Master ranks, none of them paid so much attention before and just thought of him as a strong Transcendent rank who was going to be worn out soon after dealing with a couple of enemies.
But soon, the 40 became 50 then 80 and it went past a hundred quickly and all of it happened without Alex suffering a single wound.
What was more frightening than this was that his swings were getting faster and faster with time.
As he delved deeper into the horde of enemies, his momentum seemed to be increasing at every step he took.
They were bewildered to see him going on like this and there was also no hint of exhaustion evident on his face.
His stamina should start to decrease and he should start showing signs of tiredness but contrary to this, he was getting faster and filled with vigour and seeing this, Arkham soldier's face dyed with terror and fear.
"Khum"
"Kuk!
"Arghh!
Deathly whines were ringing at regular intervals throughout the places as they started to scream in pain and agony
"Stop that man!"
"Take him down. Try to trap him and surround him with weapons."
A series of commands were issued one after another.
Loud shouts and calls could be heard from the opposite side.
The Arkham soldiers were already in a state of panic. They didn't know who issued the command but they moved quickly to obey the command as soon as they heard it.
They tried to surround Alex but Alex blew them away with wind blades and strong gusts of wind.
Archers tried to sneak attack him from afar but a barrier appeared out of nowhere and protected him from the onslaught of arrows.
The weariness of Arkham Soldiers towards Alex was increasing rapidly and everyone started to realise slowly that a monster that had been hungry for blood had been let loose.
The situation was starting to change slowly all because of a single man advancing alone taking everything head-on.
Alex was killing 6-8 men per minute and his kill count seemed to reach 200 and was increasing rapidly.
The huge mass of soldiers, this number might be small but coming from a single man terrified them greatly.
The soldiers who were courageous enough and thought him of nothing but a mere ant trying his best to avoid his fate were now cold corpses lying here and there on the battlefield.
But all of them didn't know this wasn't even the beginning.
Alex till now hadn't even used aura or any strong spells to attack. Except for using mana to cast the defensive spell to protect himself from sneak attacks and hidden dangers, he hadn't even spent his large reserves of mana which had been lying partially untouched.
Every kill was done by a simple, precise and most importantly typical swing of his sword.
This was the first time he was fighting a proper battle like an ordinary soldier without trying to wipe out everyone from existence using brute force.
He was trying to save mana and stamina as much as possible as it was going to be a long-drawn battle in which he had to persist till the end.
He was currently in the defence line trying to clear the Arkham soldiers who were able to pass through the gates all his allies were nearby and some of Kinley's soldiers were at the front and in this scenario, if he started to go boom, boom now, not only the walls along with the ground would collapse but many soldiers from his side would be injured as well.
And this wasn't a normal place filled with ants who could be swept out easily. It was going to be a prolonged battle and If he exhausted his stamina and mana soon, he was just asking to be killed and trampled by the enemy.
Battles like this may go on for days so he needs to preserve himself and fight properly without showing off.
Yet this simple decision of his was sending chills down everyone.
His assault was quite brutal and soldiers were dying even before they could react properly.
While the enemies were starting to get scared out of their wits, his troops who have known him for a long time were anticipating him to show some strong firepower and change tides in one fellow sweep.
Meanwhile, they were also not lacking behind their master in any way.
If Alex was the ultra-pro max version of the monster, they were also considered as a mini monster and were in a league of their own.
The hundred soldiers were personally trained by him. All of them slaughtered their way towards Alex trying to keep up with him but Alex seemed to get further away from them.
Under Riya's sharp survey, none of them were in a life and death crisis.Riya was around their periphery and taking out those who posed any threat to them.
