175: Soul Domain

Caught between a bombardment of spells released by the mages from the high walls of the Lower City and the relentless frontal onslaught from the warriors of Team Shield, the beasts of the Beast Tide had no choice but to converge on Val, Oliver, and Alex who were in the middle of the chaos.

"The situation has taken a turn for the worst for us," Val said.

"Indeed, it has." Alex smirked, "I guess it's time I got serious."

Hearing his words, Oliver's eyes widened in surprise. 

"You're telling me you weren't serious until now?"

At Oliver's words, Alex nodded.

"I've grown a lot since the last time we met, younger cousin. I'm no longer the same person I was 4 years ago. Compared to now, my past self is like an ant I could trample under my feet."

"Exactly how strong have you become?" Oliver asked him.

"See for yourself," Alex replied before he bent his waist and pressed his hands against the ground.
