Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 792 - Alex's Power

"Now, I shall demonstrate the power of my Pure Shadow Fire." Alex smiled, holding a black flame in his hand.

This was the first potential that he had seen in the Spirit Crown. It might be due to the fact that his previous life didn't have any element in his body that he couldn't do this, but Alex managed to assimilate the element of others to his own element.

However, it didn't come that nicely. Even though it gave Alex tremendous power, he also needed to pay some price.

When he thought about that, his expression turned solemn as he raised both hands. "Shadow…"

The moment he uttered that word, the two elders' shadows rose and formed a human shape.

Sensing the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy, they glanced at their back, only to find a black human body without any feature wanting to grab them. Without having time to think, they hacked the black body, splitting it.

"Ra!" The two elders roared before charging toward Alex.

Alex raised his hand again, summoning the same shadow behind them, trying to catch them. And like earlier, they immediately slashed the shadow, not allowing them to do anything.

Alex smiled upon watching their action as he tweaked the shadow. The moment they slashed it, it turned into tentacles that would restrict their movement. This was the same technique where Nelson restrained his opponents, but Alex didn't stop there.

"Space Bind."

He added a few more restrictions to these two with his Space Element. Since he was going to end this war as soon as possible, he didn't hesitate to use his hidden trump card at this point. And with how the elders had gone berserk due to the Fire God Body and Berserk Pill, the last restriction he placed upon his Space Element vanished.

"!!!" The two elders realized they couldn't move, saw the black tentacles, and tried to slash it. However, they soon realized they couldn't move even an inch due to an unknown reason. Hence, they released all their Spiritual Energy before sensing another type of binding things that were attached to them.

As they were going to cut it, Alex appeared right in front of one of them with his sword in his main hand, thrusting it like it was a spear.

"Since the elders have gone insane, if everything is like what I predicted, I will surely kill them," Alex muttered to himself and continued to describe how the battle progressed in his mind while doing the same actions.

"The moment they notice my binding techniques, they will try to cut them off. I will then appear before them by using this advantage. After losing most of their rationality, they should try to block my attack first. And at that time, I shall cut them down with…"

Alex did the same action as the situation turned into the way he said. It was at this time, Alex's sword and spear moved at a fast speed, throwing three strikes at the same time.

"Ra!" The two elders noticed it. If they still had their rationality, the other one should have stopped at least one of his weapons. However, Alex had been waiting for this and immediately cut one of them down. "Heaven Light Slash."

Of course, his weapons were covered by a dark flame this time, giving a more powerful blow, especially with the shadow created by the spaceship above them. This kind of force wouldn't be able to be blocked by a mere elder who lost his mind even though he became stronger.

"Just die." Alex snorted as he saw the elder suddenly release fire energy to block his spear while taking the full blow of his sword with his own sword.

His sword might be able to parry his attack. But the moment his fire barrier clashed with Alex's spear, it was cut cleanly, breaking the barrier like it was glass. Not only that, the two remaining slashes from his Triple Draws went toward his main hand, cutting it before blowing the sword away with the third strike.

Alex then clenched his sword tighter, utilizing every ounce of his strength to draw another strike with his sword that was parried. And its purpose was none other than taking the elder's life.

It might be his instinct or whatsoever, but the elder tried to catch Alex's sword before blocking it with his fire barrier.

"A nice move… Albeit it's too weak to handle this last attack." Alex didn't see this as a threat and cut the barrier, the hand, and finally, the elder himself into two. "Heaven Light Slash."

"Ra!" However, killing one elder meant giving the other elder time to free himself and charge him.

Alex turned around and sighed. He made his shadow rise again, but this time, when the elder wanted to cut it, the shadow changed into a black fire.

The flame then brushed away by the sword, and the wind pressure forced the flame to jump onto his body.

Alex smirked upon this. By assimilating his fire with the shadow, he strengthened his power and granted it another ability. He could easily turn a shadow into flame. If it collided with his original flame, it would become another boost that strengthened that flame.

Hence, Alex didn't hesitate and summoned his normal firebirds, sending them directly to the elders. "I may have the suppression power by assimilating with the shadow, but my fire gets a bit stronger. And for someone like you who can't be suppressed, this is more suitable."

Alex simply smiled as the elders erected the barrier to prevent the bird from hitting him. However, at this time, Alex summoned a few Spatial Gate, swallowing around thirty firebirds before opening another Spatial Gate inside the barrier to burn the elder.

And obviously, the moment his Pure Fire made contact with that black fire, it flared up and mixed together. The stronger fire started burning the elder's body.

Yet, Alex felt it wasn't enough. He raised his sword again and slashed forward, releasing a single Sword Wave toward him.

"Mythical Fire Slash."

Of course, the color was also black. He found that the elder hadn't died because the Spirit Eyes was telling him how the elder's Spiritual Energy was still strong.

That was why he sent another attack. And the moment it hit the barrier, the sword wave shattered it into pieces and made its way toward the elder.

The elder released all of his Spiritual Energy, trying to cut it with his sword. But Alex raised his hand and summoned the tentacles again.

"Space Bind."

"Hah!" However, the elder this time seemed to have reserve energy. The moment the tentacles appeared, it was blown away by the sudden burst of energy. And the result… The elder completed his swing and struck the Sword Wave with all his might.

"…" Alex used a Spatial Gate and appeared right behind the elder, sending the head flying.

"!!!" The elder couldn't react and realized it too late.

This was also one of the benefits he got by getting Nelson's shadow element. It lowered his presence even further. In fact, this was the reason why Nelson could sneak inside many influences.

"Huft. It's finally over." Alex let out a long sigh. "To think the fight will take this long… Never mind."

Alex shook his head, looking around to see who would need his help soon. "The beast king needed more time to fight that 9-Star Martial Saint Elder. Nelson and Anna will be the best options for me, but the opponents are 8-Star Martial Saints… Should I use my new technique?"

Alex pondered for a moment and nodded. The Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted from his weapons as his Dragon Aura began to infuse with the Spiritual Energy and turned into two fierce dragons.

"Roar!"

"Since Nelson's opponent is a Fire User, it's best to use only my Pure Fire for this." Alex nodded and flew toward Nelson with the two dragons following him.

"Go! Kill him for me." Alex commanded the two dragons.

"Roar!"

Nelson, on the other hand, noticed the incoming presence and glanced to find the dragons. Since Alex was going all out, he knew what to do.

He channeled all his power to his sword until it was covered by dark energy and swung his sword with all his might.

The elder again struck his sword, but Nelson pressured the elder even further, not letting him create a distance. As one would expect, the elder also noticed the incoming dragon and glanced to see what kind of technique it was.

However, Nelson raised his off hand and created a giant claw, sending it flying to cover his vision from the dragon.

Alex saw this and smiled as he asked the two dragons to move on top of the wall and below the wall.

"Roar!"

"Tch." The elder clicked his tongue and decided to retreat by flying toward the other side where he wasn't surrounded, but Alex suddenly appeared in that direction.

If Alex was a normal cultivator, the best option was to fly in his direction and kill him. Unfortunately, Alex wasn't. If he were to go there, Alex would hold him back for one or two seconds, letting the dragons and Nelson strike him. Hence, the only option remaining was to hit one of the two dragons.

The elder bent his knees a little to increase the force in his legs before jumping at his speed.

"Spear Spiral!"

He spun his body to create a powerful piercing force and penetrated the dragon. Unfortunately, the dragon wasn't like how he expected. It had been imbued by Alex's Pure Fire. Piercing its body meant going inside his Pure Fire.

"Argh!" The elder screamed, feeling the scorching heat that was trying to burn his body, his Spiritual Energy, and even his life. He endured and endured until he broke through.

Unfortunately, his obstacle had yet to end.

"I predicted that you wouldn't go toward me because I was still stronger than the two dragons." Alex smirked and slashed his sword. "Heaven Light Slash."

"Kh!" The elder once again outdid himself by striking Alex's sword at the last second, but this was his second mistake.

He should run away by sacrificing something from his body if he wanted to live. It was just… With his current state, it wasn't possible for him to think that way.

The moment he got stopped by Alex, the other dragon caught up and swallowed him.

"Argh!"

"Nelson. It's in your hand." Alex shouted.

"Leave it to me." Nelson nodded, appearing right before the elder and having completed his motion. He just needed to strike the elder along with the dragon to kill him, but he suddenly found that the elder still managed to move and tried to block him. "You won't. Shadow Bind."

"Space Bind." Alex also helped him.

As expected, the shadow rose again and shackled him. But its strength and durability were far better than Alex's since he was the master of shadow, not him. And with the help of Alex's Space Bind, they stopped the elder for a split second, and that split second was fatal, especially with the enemy right in front of you.

"Die." Nelson moved at fast speed and passed him as if he was teleporting there. "Assassinate."

The sword might be too fast that even the body wasn't fast enough to notice it had been cut. It took the body half-second before the blood flowed out, and the body fell down.

Nelson took a deep breath after delivering the killing blow and went toward Alex.

"Thank you for your help, Master."

"It's fine. I am the one who needs to thank you for this element. Anyway, rather than talking about this, we should take care of our matters first." Alex nodded and looked around, searching for his next target. "You go help the Beast King. I will help Anna. And don't forget we are going to retreat after this."

"Shouldn't we take advantage?"

"Of course. That's why we are retreating."

"Young Master… Do you want to do that?"

Alex answered him in the form of a smile as Nelson's expression turned serious.
