Get Out

"Move" He stared coldly at her.

"N-no, please" She was breaking down in tears while begging him.

"If you don't, you will die as well"

"I-I, please spare us"

Alexander was about to cut her in half when a fireball a hundred times stronger than the others exploded on his right side sending him flying a few meters. But he stopped with no injuries at all.

"I was wondering what was causing all that noise but who are you? And why are you attacking this village?"

A young man with blond golden hair appeared and started asking questions, but Alexander wasn't interested in talking. He suddenly disappeared and appeared again right in front of the young man.

"The fuck?!" That was the only thing he could say before being sent flying into the forest.

Alexander was surprised when a thunderbolt hit him on the chest causing a considerable amount of damage.

The young man not only defended the attack with a barrier, but he counterattacked as well.

Alexander didn't understand how magic worked so he didn't know what to expect, thus he became way more cautious.

The golden-haired man wasn't injured and started casting more spells at Alexander.

Using shadow steps, he dodged everything but couldn't get closer. In the middle of the crossfire, the young man started talking.

"Can you at least tell me your name?" He wanted to know who he was dealing with. After a few seconds, he received his answer.

"Alexander"

"Never heard of it... I'm Leonel Sanches"

"..."

Alexander started blocking the spells closing the distance between the two.

Leonel felt more and more pressure as the battle continued.

"From which faction are you?"

"I don't know"

"Impossible! I'm from the empire and acting while hiding your identity is a crime! If you can't tell me, I will execute you right now in the name of the law!"

"I don't know what you're talking about... But you can try"

Alexander didn't take Leonel's words seriously. Leonel as a noble had a high pride, hence becoming easily insulted by Alexander's words.

Alexander's sword cut the spells easily as he approached Leonel. While fighting, they already left the village and entered the forest.

Alexander, who was used to fighting while surrounded by trees, gained even more advantage.

Leonel's mana was ending and Alexander's injuries already healed. Leonel started sweating as he ran and cast spells.

Leonel wasn't weak, he practiced since five years old and was a genius in magic. He reached level 3 at the age of 20 and was soon to advance to level four. He experienced the battlefield a lot to improve himself. But Alexander was too strong.

Seeing his imminent loss, Leonel went all out without sparing mana.

Alexander felt the spells' quantity and quality raise considerably. He was being flooded by spells from all directions.

The ground turned into spikes, the wind turned into blades, and the trees shifted to block his path. The terrain changed where he stepped and he decided to use natural steps.

Natural steps not only raised his speed but it allowed him to move in any direction and in any terrain. The problem is he couldn't attack while using it.

Leonel felt despair when he saw Alexander's sudden rise in speed. Alexander reached his last barrier and Leonel almost died while dodging the azure sword.

That was when three white knights appeared from the forest.

"Who are you?! Identify yourselves!" They screamed.

Alexander didn't answer but Leonel responded right away.

"I'm a noble from the empire trying to capture or kill a criminal!"

The white knights didn't have time to help, but since they lost their target they might as well get some merits here.

The knights didn't waste time and attacked. Alexander had to dodge three shining swords as they tore the air. The swords were dangerous. They shone and distorted the space around them.

Alexander became curious about the swords and wondered if the armor had something special as well.

Leonel stopped casting to recover mana and let the knights fight Alexander.

They wielded their swords and Alexander dodged them all as he couldn't block them. They were slower and fewer than Leonel's spells. Alexander didn't take them seriously until he decided to test their armor.

The knights couldn't even see anything when Alexander became a blur and appeared behind one of them.

He made a horizontal cut on the knight's neck to decapitate him. He felt the sword entering his flesh and the head being decapitated.

He saw the message but the knight's head didn't separate from his body and not only that but he didn't stop moving as well. Alexander became confused as the system never failed before.

Then he tried it again, he made exactly the same thing as his sword entered and left the knight's neck.

[ Human level 0 killed ]

[+1 Exp ]

Again, the knight's head didn't fall. They kept attacking him as if nothing happened. They didn't care about any injuries either.

Alexander became more and more interested in the knights.

After a lot of what would be dismembering and decapitation, Alexander understood how the armors worked. The armors used some kind of space magic and all the damage caused was being transferred somewhere or to someone.

"Your lives are linked to someone else"

The knights could fight endlessly without fearing for their lives and had really strong swords as well.

'Maybe knowing magic would be useful now'

After a few minutes of battle, the knights changed their careless way of fighting and stood together. They chanted something and a dome of light surrounded them.

Alexander, surrounded by the dome of light, felt energy pressuring him.

[ All status decreased by 10% ]

[ All damage received raised by 15% ]

He became weaker and his enemies became stronger
