Chapter 279: CHAPTER 279 - I won’t go down alone.
An armor made of destruction energy.
What could be more durable than that?
This armor could literally disintegrate anything and everything that touches it.
If that was not enough, the armor was full body, even the face was covered in it.
Also, it was not actually armor, Alex was still not good with destruction energy, but it was still covering all of his body.
So, in a way, it was an impenetrable armor that disintegrated any attack.
However, that was in case the attack was weak.
But what if the attack was from someone stronger than Alex?
*BOOM*
Alex, who was sent hurtling up in the air, realized it.
'It won't disintegrate the impact of an attack…'
Alex muttered with a thoughtful look.
His skull was cracked again, and his face was bloodied as well, but none of them could be seen on the outside as his face was covered with destruction energy.
The wound was healed already, so it wouldn't really have mattered.
'But this is still good…'
Alex muttered as he looked at Malak, who was standing on the ground while gritting his teeth.
Malak had already torn apart his hand that was used to attack Alex, and the hand was regenerating again.
'Test number two…'
Alex had already tested what would happen in case the attack was physical, but what about magical?
*Swoosh*
A blood lance was thrown toward him again, and this time, Alex decided to take it on.
"Come…"
Alex just spread his hands, waiting for the spear to disintegrate, but just as the spear touched the out part of the destruction barrier, Alex's eyes widened.
'Shit!'
He quickly twisted his body a bit to the side, narrowly avoiding the spear that pierced right through his left chest….
"GAHHH - Cough!"
Alex let out a pained scream before he coughed out a lot of blood.
There was a gaping hole in his chest, and although it would be heated the next instant, Alex was still frowning.
'What happened….?'
Alex didn't understand, so he asked someone who could.
[The destruction barrier did disintegrate the attack, but the time it took to disintegrate that attack was enough for the spear to pierce through you.]
Alex saw the blood spear turning into ash after it came out of his back, so now it made sense.
'So, this armor is useless against magical attacks?'
Alex's frown deepened.
[No. That attack was a pointed attack, that's the reason why it could penetrate your defenses, if it was otherwise, then this wouldn't have happened.]
Sophia replied to Alex's question, explaining to him why the attack pierced his defenses.
Alex nodded his head, but it looked like he didn't have time to ponder about these things.
*Woosh* X5
Three bone spears and two more blood spears were coming toward him, and Alex, who was a bit distracted because of the last attack, was taken by surprise.
'HUH!'
Alex quickly activated Temporal Pause.
'Pause.'
*Shatter*
But the temporal pause was broken the moment it was summoned.
'Fuck!'
Alex hurriedly concentrated all of the destruction on his body on his vitals.
He could see those attacks like before, but he couldn't lift his palm to shoot blasts of destruction on them.
So, he did the next best thing he could think of.
*Pierce* X5
All five of the attacks did pierce through his body, and although they disintegrated the next instant, the damage was done.
"Ghhhh!"
Alex's body was shot toward the ground.
*Boom*
Alex again crashed into the ground, however, this time, he didn't have the time to get ready.
*Baam*
He had to jump back, swiftly avoiding the large fist coming from above.
Malak, who saw that Alex avoided his attack, rushed at Alex again, but this time Alex opened the zone.
"Shit, it's on again!"
Malak shouted as he tried to escape the zone….
*Splatter*
But this time, his right leg burst into blood and flesh.
"ARGH!!"
Malak let out a suppressed yell of pain as he stood up straight, some distance away from Alex.
Alex, who put Varethian back in the storage when he wanted to test the skill, took it out again.
'Let's show them your power…'
Alex muttered and Varethian trembled in his hand, and as if showing its acknowledgment, it quickly turned into a bow.
'Good.'
Alex didn't wait.
Right now was the best time to take out Malak, that guy was injured right now.
So, Alex knocked an arrow made of destruction energy on Varethian before he shot it at Malak.
*Woosh*
But the arrow didn't meet its intended target, instead, it crashed into a wall made of bones.
*Boom*
Debris flew here and there, but again, before Alex could react a fist made of blood was coming at him at a very fast speed.
Alex gritted his teeth, getting ready for the impact.
*Boom*
And he was flung upward by the punch.
Alex, however, wasn't going to stay still and let his body fall back to the ground only to be punched by Malak.
So, Alex yelled out loud.
"Let's see if you can take this!!"
Alex glared at Malak before he lifted his palm up in the air, and a large ball of destruction started forming.
The demon generals quickly got ready for the impact while also shooting their attacks.
*Woosh**Woosh**Woosh**Woosh*....
Many attacks were launched at Alex, but Alex just grinned like a madman.
"I won't go down alone!"
And with that shout, he threw a large mass of destruction energy toward Malak, whose leg was still not healed.
*Pierce**Pierce**Pierce*....
Some attacks got destroyed while some got through the armor, piercing Alex's skin.
But Alex just grinned widely as he saw the ball of destruction energy descend toward Malak.
Alex had expanded his 99% of mana in that ball, so it was capable of disintegrating a Mythical 1-ranked person into nothingness.
*Cough**Cough*
Alex just coughed a lot of blood as he fell toward the ground with a grin on his blurred face.
As said before, it was not easy to tell what expression Alex was making, but the lip and eye shape on the destruction energy armor showed what expression Alex was making.
The demons who saw Alex falling toward the ground then prepared for the counter of the attack Alex had launched.
*FWOOSH*
The mana in the air vibrated as the demons expanded their mana to create an attack capable of blasting the mass of destruction energy coming toward them.
A ball of darkness, a large harpoon of blood, a tornado of wind, and a flame thrower were launched by Morvan, Valerius, Nyx, and Malak respectively.
*BOOOOOOOM*
As the attacks collided, an explosion loud enough to shake the whole area resounded throughout the space.
The area within 2 kilometers of the range was destroyed with no sign of life left because of that attack, but the demon generals sighed in relief.
'It's finally over-' X4
But before they could complete whatever thoughts they were having…
*Crackle*
