?395 Showdown

'She is troublesome, more so than the Scorpion,' Alex thought as he used the appraisal of the Red Gem on the lady and saw her stats in detail.

At first, Alex used a simple appraisal to gain an understanding of the twins, not checking their status in detail as it wouldn't matter much when their strength was just peak Fifth Rank. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

But now, seeing the young lady cast a peak Sixth Rank barrier of light that prevented him or anyone from leaving and doing so in a matter of seconds, he was forced to check her status again in detail.

As he had expected, it was not normal, as besides all her stats being 90k which was far above average, her mana stat was surpassing 135k points, while she also held a legendary-grade physique, giving her innate abilities.

After gaining the new info, his whole perspective of the battle till now shifted, as Alex saw the lady as more of a threat than Scorpion because, besides the light prison, her physique gave her two more innate abilities, called Luminous Renewal and Luminal Mirage.

While the healing skill wouldn't give him much trouble, the same was not true for the illusion skills, because as much as Alex trusted his magical eyes, he couldn't be sure if he could see through the illusion, knowing it would be a high or peak Sixth Rank skill.

So without a moment of hesitation, he used the Chrono Sanctuary skill, saving his physical condition, so in case he failed to break free of the illusion and get killed, he would have a second chance.

"Boy, now you are trapped, and I will be generous for real this time and give you two options, so listen very carefully,"

"You either pay us a handsome amount that satisfies me or struggle for your life and die a useless death," Scorpion said as he laughed out loud, his fist bashing against the light barrier.

"You are gravely mistaken if you think I am trapped," Alex said as he used the Tenebrous Shard Enclave, making vast darkness manifest and rapidly spread in all directions.

The light prison was around a hundred meters in length and height, shaped like a box, and the spreading darkness filled it, devouring any trace of light created by the walls, making the inside an area of blinding darkness.

'Shadow Doppelganger.'

Alex immediately created four Doppelgangers, each having 20% of his base stats, and while they were useless in battle, because of their ability to regenerate endlessly, he could throw them at the male twin and keep him mostly out of battle.

Alex's chain of thoughts was disturbed by a battle cry from Scorpion as he swung his blade, forcing Alex back, and then roared the order for the female twin to use Luminous Renewal on him.

"Zelia, use Luminous Renewal on me!" Scorpion roared as he created distance from Alex.

The female twin slammed her staff into a Doppelganger, sending the doppelganger flying, and then used a quick light arrow to tear a hole in the chest, as she created a safe distance before firmly gripping her staff with both hands.

Alex saw Scorpion's veins swell in size before returning to normal, his skin color turning darker and the reason was the poison flowing through his veins and blood.

'He is using poison to enhance his strength and utilizing continuous healing to mediate the damage to his body,' Alex thought as he saw Luminous Renewal take effect, an intricate white rune appearing above Scorpion's head before vanishing.

'He is not the type to engage in an honorable battle, so why is he not asking the girl to use the illusion skill on me?' Alex thought, with many such questions coming to mind and the only logical answer he could think of was that Scorpion didn't know about the illusion skill.

'Let's end this battle,' Alex thought, pushing various thoughts back.

Even though with Scorpion boosting his stats, he lost the major stat advantage he held, it wouldn't make a difference in battle.

Alex exchanged to the space knife while picking up the free knife using his darkness manipulation and moved forward to clash against Scorpion, who was laughing like a madman, the venom in his blood affecting his sanity.

The strikes became more erratic and harder to predict, and Scorpion commenced to twist and turn his body at unusual angles, even dislocating his joints to further his reach, delivering one attack after another.

Scorpion was not making calculated attacks like before, but he was still crafty enough to anticipate the attack in advance when Alex teleported or did not fall for fake teleportation.

Alex attached all three free knives to chains, cloaking them in a dense shroud of darkness, making their shapes unrecognizable. He threw them in separate directions, pulling them all toward Scorpion at the last moment before he teleported, creating an opportunity to attack.

Alex could have ended the battle in a matter of moments by using various time skills, but he had chosen this battle to learn to wield his knives, and that's what he did in the following two minutes the battle lasted.

Alex conveyed a minor wound with his first attack, but as he got better and quicker at synchronizing his teleportation and creating it less predictable, the combat went smoothly.

He received a few good strikes as Scorpion was no beginner, but even with the twins getting involved after their boss lost his left leg, Alex still ended the combat by thrusting a dagger into Scorpion's eye and another into his neck, both coated in pulsing decay energy.

"We Surrender, Please Spare Us," Alex heard the twins scream as they threw their weapons away, the moment Scorpion's life slipped away.
