Everyone was dazed, looking at the mysterious phenomenon. A giant six-armed gorilla was trying to force its way through the spatial rift. It was humongous, about forty to fifty meters in height, Dwarfing any four tusked mammoths that Alex saw.
It thrashed its arms around, enlarging the spatial rift and pushing itself through. At any moment, it would come down from the sky.
While everyone looked at it dazed, not knowing what to do.
Alex acted differently. He had seen enough movies to know that mayhem was about to be unleashed.
'Anything that comes from a hole in the sky should be feared.'
According to Alex, it didn't take a genius to understand that.
"Dumbassess, why are you looking at the sky? Run." Instantly Alex put everything necessary in the inventory and screamed at his lackeys.
Uli and the other kids were too stunned to understand the gravity of the situation. Yet, hearing the warning, they quickly responded by running towards the direction Alex pointed.
'Thankfully, all the other tribesmen are not near the food stall.'
Alex was calm because he could enter the interdimensional farm at any time. His survival rate would be higher than the people who are running away from the beast falling from the sky.
Taka, who saw the giant six-armed gorilla was apprehensive. He knew that the strength of the creature was beyond what he could face. He might be able to buy some time for everyone to escape. But that is it.
He could never win against it.
Laya, Meena and the ice phoenix members quickly went into a defensive formation. They knew instantly that they were the targets of the assassination attempt. And they were not sure if other people were working together with the assassins.
It was better to be safe than sorry. So, they quickly moved away from the chaos.
"GHRAAAAA…." The beast suddenly roared.
Forcing its way through the rift, it fell down like a meteor. Smashing Alex's food stall and everything near it. Nothing in the vicinity was left standing after the beast fell down. Everything was pulverised to dust.
A giant shockwave carrying dust and crumbled materials went through the area. It felt like a miniature earthquake to the people around it.
Thankfully, the people near it had already evacuated.
And in the small crater in the centre. The beast stood still. It was uninjured.
With the bloodthirsty purple eyes. It looked around.
And the first thing that caught its attention was Taka of the void fish tribe. He was standing near the crater, uninjured by the explosive shockwave. Near him, Alex suddenly materialised from thin air.
"Sir, shopkeeper. You are here?"
"Hm… Yes, for now."
"Can you help?"
"I will try to."
Taka smiled hearing the affirmative response. He didn't know how Alex materialized near him. But it felt like space fluctuations, the same kind of power the void fish tribe had. If he can help, that would be great.
So, Taka was happy to see Alex giving the thumbs up. A small smile formed on his face after that.
"I will try to blind it, you go for its weak points."
"Be careful, it is not like any beast that I have come across. The energy it is using is so repulsive and dirty. But it is strong, it is close to tier 4 in strength, the same as me."
In this world, there were five main tiers of classification of strength. Tier one is the partial body enhancement stage, tier two is full body enhancement, tier three is the skill manifestation stage, tier four is the spirit guardian possession tier and finally, the fifth tier is the spirit guardian summon tier.
Most people never become stronger than tier two. While the majority of the strong people are tier three and four. And only a dozen tier-five individuals are alive in the central continent. And they are practically legends in their region.
While considering this, Alex could be said to be having only tier 2 strength. But when he releases the energy outside his body, it automatically condenses into a smoke screen. It can be considered a skill, but he has yet to become a tier-three warrior. After all, due to the diversity of tribes in the world. The line between tiers two and three was always blurry. Some can use skills before they become tier 3, while some had to wait.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ A true tier three didn't mean just the ability to use the skill of spirit guardian, it also meant an increase in the total amount of energy they can use and vastly superior durability in an intense battle. Alex didn't have any of that perks.
And to be a complete tier-three warrior. One had to be capable of using all the skills of their spirit guardian and master at least one. Alex doesn't even know if he has a spirit guardian, much less master its skills.
For further comparison, a tier three warrior can go against a couple of dozen tier two warriors and easily win. And the beast was at the top of tier three about to step into tier four. It was practically invincible against the vast majority of the population.
'Almost tier 4, It is crazy strong. The strongest people alive are only tier 5 in strength.' Alex who understood the messed up situation didn't cover away this time.
Although he hates fighting, he remembered the thing that happened last time. When they were travelling to the blue gem city.
The attack of wolves and the torrent of regret he had to bear.
In the past, he was living a life full of regret. So he quit his job and went to his village to relax. While at it, he was transmigrated into this world. And now, he was supposed to live a gratifying life without regrets.
Yet, as soon as he reached here. He went back into his old cowardly behaviour. And it had cost someone their life.
Without any change in his behaviour, he was hoping for a change in his life. And he realised how stupid he was. So, for the first time, he was going to participate in a fight that he had no hope of winning.
He was going to fight against the odds.
"Can you injure it?" Alex asked.
According to Taka, the beast was peak tier three. He had no hope of injuring it in a direct physical confrontation. But that didn't mean that he couldn't do something sneaky like he always does.
Fighting against the odds doesn't mean that he should do something stupid. If you have a brain, why not use it to gain an advantage?
"Yes, if I use everything at my disposal. I might be able to injure it. However, killing it will be impossible."
"Go for its weak points. I will distract and delay the beast." After saying that, Alex began releasing the smoke screen.
Taka, who saw this, instantly understood what he was trying to do. Although he didn't fully trust Alex, knowing what he was doing. He chose to work with Alex.
But before the smoke could get to it, the gorilla ran towards Alex and Taka.
It was eyeing Taka who was in the front. Alex who saw this quickly moved away to a safer location and released even more smoke.
The beast was too fast. He could barely run away.
At first, he thought he might be able to cover just the beast with the smoke. If he could have done that, it would have been the most efficient way to use the smoke screen. But now, seeing the speed of the beast. Alex came to a conclusion.
He had to release the smoke screen on a large scale. More like the first time he releases the smoke screen covering the entire training area a couple of hundred meters in diameter.
Then he was going to force the beat to have tunnel vision. Making only Taka visible to it.
Just as Alex moved away from Taka, A giant fist that could destroy a mountain slammed into Taka. Fortunately, he moved away in the nick of time.
This bought Alex enough time to complete his plan. All the surroundings were quickly covered in smoke.
Contrary to what he did in the training ground. Alex didn't try to control all the smoke. Or else it would have been exhausting. So, He controlled enough smoke the best he could.
The smoke between Taka and the beast was quickly cleared. The beast could only see Taka and likewise, Taka could only see the beast.
And the intense battle between the man and the beast began.
