Chapter 35: True strength of the scourge!
Seeing the masked man was yet to move even when the mutated lightning wolf was already in front of him many people were disappointed! They concluded that this man had no intentions of winning in the first place or he is too scared to even fight back. Many disdained the fact that he was compared to the big four representatives and many even called him a fraud, claiming he only showed strength when fighting against defenseless powerless humans.
The spectators had mixed emotions as many saw this masked youth as their hero while the others disdained him but their emotions never reached Alex. His eyes remained shut tight as he directed the energy within his body all around, slowly turning his body brown. The bronze statue secret technique is one that focuses on the defense and mental fortitude of the user while adding the Demon-kin combat technique, Alex can raise his physical strength to match his defense, thereby making this secret technique look more like an ability and making people believe the scourge has two abilities, masking his identity even further and making it difficult for people to suspect him.
<<The only downside is that I can't use the Bronze statue secret technique in public anymore… If I do that they can trace it back to me and know I am the Scourge… I guess I will have to rely on my demon-Kin martial technique alone while looking for new, suitable secret martial techniques to learn>> Alex lamented inwardly before crossing his hands in preparation for the enemy!
BANG!
The lightning wolf smashed into Alex causing him to slide a few meters back but he finally stopped after a while, leaving many people stunned! Scourge may have lost more health points according to the system but the lightning wolf lost some health points as well! Even though the lightning wolf was not known for its strength, instead of its agility, it was still a massive beast that can kill a normal person with just one well placed strike, yet this person was able to withstand it?
Amazing!
Isn't his ability gravity?
How did he harden his skin?
Can't you see, his body changes color!
Does he have two abilities?
That's impossible!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Everyone stopped arguing the moment Scourge made a move! Instead of waiting he charged forward viciously, racing towards the mutated beast! The only person who dared to take the initiative to attack the mutated beast is the battle God Alex Briggs! If Scourge can win just like Alex, doesn't that mean he is just as strong as the strongest representative of the Big four?
<< Demon Kin, First stage; Second Form: Perceive>>
Alex's eyes within the black mask turn white as he began predicting the enemy's movements based on every minor movement its body makes! While using flow, he possessed superhuman capabilities by controlling the flow of his inner energy and prioritizing more energy to more vital parts at the right time. As long as he does not use the final form, Kill, no one would be able to find out he is using the secret technique of the Briggs!
Whoosh!
The lightning wolf lunged at Alex but he quickly performed a side flip to evade the beast! His eyes revealed killing intentions as his footwork was adjusted just as quickly as he landed, allowing him to launch a powerful blow almost as soon as his feet touched the ground!
Bang!
The strength of Alex's punch using flow could only make the beast stagger a bit from his attack and the damage was not as much as he dealt when using the final form Kill. With this method, he could only rely on his stamina while slowly whittling down the enemy's health in a fight!
He spun to the left evading the claw attack before delivering a quickly right jab to the wolf's face, before following up with a flurry of punches!
ROAR!
The wolf let out an enraged cry as it abruptly swept its hand striking Alex, but Alex's response stunned many. The moment he was hit, he grabbed the beast's massive hand as he struggled to regain balance! As soon as he regained balance he abruptly pulled the beast closer, before delivering a powerful knee to the jaw!
Bang!
"This is insane…" Zero said with his face stiff.
Seeing Scourge take hits and retaliate with blows of his own, everyone had concluded he had an enhancer ability but one weaker than that of Akila! But even then, having two abilities is something no one has ever heard of! Scourge landed more hits but with each hit the enemy was able to land, he lost a huge chunk of his health! People watched in awe as the man and the beast kept fighting in what seemed to be the most intense battle to ever happen in the newly launched volt domain! They held their breath in anticipation of who will emerge as the victor and man even wondered why Scourge has refused to use his gravity ability, making them wonder if he is the real thing!
Bang!
Alex was thrown back by this hit causing him to roll on the ground, but recovered as quickly as he fell! The mutated wolf had no intentions of giving him the chance to recover as it already jumped towards him the moment he fell! Many gasped in shock but then what happened next made them stand and cheer in excitement!
"Don't you dare think you have a chance against me!" Alex growled while he was on one knee as his eyes turned black and he threw his open palm at the incoming enemy!
Whoosh!
Suddenly the mutated wolf hung in mid-air, unable to move from that spot! Holding the beast, Alex felt his head assaulted by an intense headache but he knew this was happening because he was trying to hold onto a massive beast! This could be considered the biggest and strongest thing he has tried his ability on!
