57 50. Mera

(A/N: Mass releases are over. Only did them to get to the actual action quicker. Now we are back to regular schedule.)

Alex kept a calm face as he crossed his arms in front of him and easily took the attack head on without losing.

"Who are you?" The girl asked while squinting her eyes at Alex.

"I should be asking you. You suddenly barge into the surface world. What are your intentions?" Alex also squinted back as he asked.

"H-how do you know?" The girl staggered a bit by Alex's aura and asked in return.

"Your armour and technique tell me that you are from Atlantis". Alex rubbed his masked chin as he replied.

"So you know about us. I am only here on a mission and will not harm the surface dwellers". The girl folded her arms below her chest and said.

"And how do I trust you?" Alex said as his aura mixed with Conqueror's Haki.

"You can accompany me and it will serve as a proof". The girl replied and didn't mind Alex's pressure as he wasn't using much right now.

"Alright that can be done but before that". Alex nodded hut again sped up as he attacked with more ferocity this time.

He allowed her enough time to react and attack lest she says that he took her by surprise. He wanted her to know her place before she goes on a rampage.

The girl prepared her fists as she took a combat stance and covered them with water. As soon as Alex was near, she conjured a water shield around her.

With the protection of the shield. She used waved her fists and sent blasts of water at Alex. Trying to overwhelm him with quantity.

Alex didn't care as he easily dodged her attacks and got close to the shield. Coating his fist in spirit force. He punched the shield and destroyed it easily.

Spirit force is what he named the combination of Haki, Chi and Hamon together. It had the versatility of chi, the toughness of Haki and the force of Hamon combined. Which made it a devastating form of energy.

As soon as he destroyed the shield. He didn't give her the chance to rest and gave a strong punch straight to her gut.

The girl retched as she caught her abdomen and fell on her knees. She wasn't damaged outwardly but the force hit her from the inside.

Her strength wasn't a joke. She had the strength of 10 megatons to anywhere being able to lift small planets.

Alex was able to damage her only because of his Spirit force and his speed that was equal to her. This combined achieved the effect.

Her striking strength and defence is only at a large mountain level while her lifting strength is far higher. Only because she doesn't have devastating enough techniques to power up her strikes.

Alex in this regard is better as he made his own spirit force and knows every technique known to man till date.

He could even use The girl's martial art that she was using but he wouldn't be able to water bend like her because he didn't have that power.

'I want a challenge. So Gold Experience will take away the fun'. Alex thought as he looked down at her.

The girl was still clutching her stomach hard as the force of the attack literally shifted her internal organs and nearly burst them open.

"Wh-why?" She said in a painful voice. It was proving hard for her to speak.

"When you reach a relatively high level then only your strength speaks numbers. If you have any ideas in the future. You will at least know that there will be no good end in opposing me". Alex crouched down to her eye level as he said seriously.

The girl glared at Alex but wisely chose to keep quiet. She did have the thought that she is superior to these land dwellers and didn't take Alex very seriously before.

It's just that she came to the surface for the first time and was a cautious to show any kind of signs in front of Alex but she was still found out.

The girl nodded her head but the pain in her gut was still overwhelming. Alex saw this and trued to put his hand on her abdomen. The girl quickly covered it with her hands vigilantly as she wasn't of his motives and didn't want to take any more chances.

"Don't worry, I am just trying to heal you". Alex said gently as he tried to put his hand on her abdomen.

The girl tried to back off but couldn't move much from the damage she had taken. Alex shook his head as he caught her hands and subdued her effortlessly.

The girl tried to protest but Alex just put his hand on her abdomen and started healing the internal injuries with Chi and Hamon combined.

After seeing that the injury in her stomach was disappearing. The girl went silent and let the healing take place.

After healing her. Alex let go of her and stood up. "Now you should be able to move freely". He said with a smile that was covered with his mask.

"You are one strange guy". The girl said as she stood up and rubbed her belly.

"Oh and why is that?" Alex asked playfully.

"First you injured me and then healed me as well. Doesn't really make sense to me". She said as she looked at him with a bit of confusion.

"I struck you to make you keep in control before you do something that neither I nor you will like. I healed you later because I don't want to have any hard feelings as we will together for a period of time". Alex shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"I see. Well, happy cooperation". The girl nodded her head as she smiled a bit and shook his hand.

She wasn't very sincere in her feelings of cooperation but at least she wasn't thinking of herself as some noble being anymore.

"Also, I am Silent Reaper but I never got to know your name". Alex said as they were shaking hands.
