Lucius, who got punched by Luna, was getting furious. Fortunately, she was back in the formation, suffering immense pain, and he could feel the fake goddess getting closer and closer; soon, she would occupy Luna's body, the perfect vessel, and from then onward, their empire would become the strongest, and he would make that damn brat pay a heavy sin for messing with him.
Lucius, who was thinking about how to torture Alex, was shocked when he felt the tower shaking, almost as if it would break apart at any moment.
Something felt off; Lucius decided to check; by spreading his senses and using the numerous formations inside the tower, he could see to the sixth floor and what he saw made him tremble violently.
''Alexander!!!" He roared the name of the young man who caused him more damage than anything in just a few days. Lucius was sure that the hole in the middle of the floors was Alex's doing.
''A..Alex?" Luna, whose consciousness was becoming blurry, tried to stay awake at least until she saw his face; the pain was too much; just as she was thinking of making one last attempt to stay awake, she arrived and,
Boom!
Luna felt like someone was using a hammer to pound her brain; she felt disgusted as something foreign was trying to take over her body; she couldn't allow it, but unfortunately, she was too weak.
''I will become the owner of this body; you can keep struggling.'' The fake goddess declared as she started battling against Luna and her weapon spirit.
''Lucius, kill that boy while I take care of this little girl. I have almost taken control of her body.'' The fake goddess shouted at Lucius.
The Pope was surprised before kneeling.
''Your wish is my command.'' He declared, and at the same time, Alex broke the defensive formation using erase and crimson bullets to create a passage for him to enter.
Immediately Alex's face darkened when he saw Luna floating; half of her blonde hair had turned gray, while her face was twitching as if she was in extreme pain.
〖She is already in her body, trying to get complete control over her body. Don't act rashly; you should first take care of the old man there.〗Nyx warned, and Alex nodded before slowly turning to face Lucius.
The two men stared at each other before the Pope talked first.
''You are really good. You almost got me, but now all end, I'll kill you.''
Right after saying those words, Lucius forcibly teleported them to another location.
They appeared a few kilometers from the holy capital in the middle of a mountain.
''This place should make a good grave for an old man like you,'' Alex said while releasing his killing intent which Lucius found incredible considering Alex's age.
''My grave, you say? Hehehehehe! You don't have that ability yet. I will kill you before you do.'' Lucius declared before releasing all his power.
BOOM!
An enormous aura exploded from his body, pushing Alex a couple of steps back; he couldn't help but gulp audibly, he had expected him to be strong, but this amount of pressure was still beyond his expectation.
'This old man was strong, really strong.' He knew it even without appraising Lucius.
Even though he was curious about Lucius's status, this was not a fight; one should be distracted; one moment of distraction, and he might die.
Lucius right now wants to kill him.
Swish!
Lucius disappeared and reappeared before Alex as if he had teleported, he slashed downward with a simple sword, but space got cut apart.
The sword was fast, but Alex was faster. He slightly tilted his body to the side, dodging the strike while immediately counterattacking.
BANG!
An improved version of the phantom bullet was shot a Lucius from a tricky angle, but he still managed to react by moving his sword at the speed of light; he executed five slashes with one swing.
Kacha!
The sword broke apart after that strike.
''Instant Strengthening X5!" Lucius mumbled, and his body became muscular.
Crack!
The ground cracked under his feet as he shot toward Alex like a missile.
Alex knew he would die if he clashed against him with his current body; no matter how tough his body had become, Lucius, under instant strengthening X5, wasn't something his current body could face.
''Asura's Form!" Immediately Alex unleashed his ultimate form; he grew taller, more muscular, and his hair turned crimson and elongated. Behind him, the phantom image of a giant Alex appeared before vanishing.
Lucius was shocked when he saw the current Alex; he felt threatened by the current Alex, something he didn't feel when he was in a normal start.
'This is why this boy has to die.' Lucius reaffirmed his will to kill the boy known as Alexander Kael Touch no matter what; if not, he would be letting a monster capable of killing him in a couple of months go, it would be a pretty foolish thing to do.
''Body of light.'' Lucius activated his secret skill.
It was a skill that altered his body, making him closer to the light. Like this, he could deal more damage to his enemy, for example, healing his enemy beyond his body capacity; if this were to happen, the cells would die faster.
Lucius transformed his right arm into light as he punched Alex.
Bang!
Alex defended with his right hand enveloped by the Eternal Chain.
Lucius frowned when he sensed the Eternal Chain was sucking away all light inside his hand.
He wanted to escape, but Alex would not let go without a small gift in return.
''Golden Hour Prime Time: Frozen Wheels!!"
It was an advanced version of time stop capable of working on Demi-God, well, in theory.
Lucius was frozen, but he was still able to move his eyes even when being frozen in time; Alex understood that he still couldn't completely stop time for a stronger opponent, his current limit should be barely one second, but it was more than enough to do what he wanted.
Clenching his right fist, Alex punched Lucius in the face, time resumed, and he was sent flying five kilometers.
''Crimson bullet.''
Kabooooom!
