Chapter 306 : Are you really that stupid?
Chapter 306 : Are you really that stupid?
"Brother Kurdis, stop playing around and finish it up quickly, we can't spend too much time this close to the human territory!"
The human like alien spoke out, presumably to the beast like alien that had just been stabbed and killed by Alex.
It seemed the other three hadn't noticed what had happened quite yet, which humoured Alex a little.
His acting was so good that their guard was completely down, and like the fools they were, they didn't even consider the fact that he might have done such a thing.
They could feel Alex's aura, as he was purposely exposing it for them.
In their eyes, a mere D tier Mutant class couldn't do anything to C+ rank Variant classes like them.
Seeing that the other three hadn't noticed anything yet, Alex decided to play it to his advantage.
He reassumed his previous act of being terrified, but put on a 'brave face' and decided to throw a weak punch at Kurdis's corpse, acting like he was putting his all into the punch, but having it do absolutely nothing to Kurdis.
"..."
"..."
Seeing what Alex did, there was a momentary silence, but that only lasted for a second.
The other three aliens burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"I take it back, this human is as stupid as the rest of them. He can't even tell the gap between himself and his enemies!"
The human like alien spoke, pointing at Alex while he held his stomach in laughter.
"Kurdis, I think you should show him what happens when people fight back against us."
He pointed at Kurdis, and made a suggestion.
The facade of them letting Alex live was finally starting to slip.
They weren't even trying to hide it anymore.
"Kurdis?"
But their laughter slowly died down and their faces gradually grew concerned and confused when they noticed that their comrade hadn't made a single movement at all since the start of this amusing situation.
"W-What!? He's dead!"
Eventually though, one of them had the brains to extend their senses to Kurdis, and when they felt no pulse from him, they knew something had gone wrong somewhere along the line.
"What did you do to him!? You bastard human, you're dead!"
As he spoke, the human like alien bared his teeth at Alex, speaking in as sinister tone as it could get.
"I'll rip you to pieces and leave the remains right at the door of your human base to find!"
He clenched his fist into a ball and threw a punch directly towards Alex.
Rumble!
Energy swelled around his fist and a wave of silver energy was swept across the vacuum and immediately appeared in front of Alex.
The mood had quickly become sour.
"See you in hell, little shit!"
No attack was thrown other than that silver fist, as they expected the disparity in their strength was too much for Alex to even defend himself.
Crash!
Bang!
But against their expectations, the fist didn't even reach Alex at all.
It hit the barrier of his ship!
This whole time, Alex wasn't planning to move away from the vicinity of his ship for that exact reason!
He was already weak from the 20 hours of constant battle against the Red Demons on the battlefield, and he had no time to rest before this motley crew of pirates came along and tried to rob him.
So planned to use his ship to his advantage right from the start.
He had to rely on such sneaky tactics if he didn't want to lose his life to such a lame reason like fatigue!
"Damn it! He's still in range of his ship's shield!"
The human like Alien spoke to the other two.
"Keep pummelling it, it's sure to be low on durability! We can break through it and directly him!"
The plan seemed sound, if only Alex's ship's defences weren't so strong.
The durability was at 90%, regenerating to 92% after Alex had stalled the four of them for a few minutes.
And that silver fist attack just now had only done a total of 3% of damage to it!
Considering the amount of power the pirate put behind that attack, Alex doubted that they could throw out another 30 of them between all three of them to break through the entire shield.
Seeing that they had preoccupied themselves with breaking his shield, Alex leisurely returned back to his ship, and moved over to the main deck.
He may be locked in place thanks to their ship's tractor beams, but all his other systems were working just fine.
Like the weapons systems!
President Price said that it had the capability to produce a single Variant class B tier shot, capable of even blowing a small moon apart, but that would require every ounce of energy his ship had to offer.
Alex wasn't going to do something silly like use such a system at this moment.
Besides, he didn't need to go so overkill against those three idiots outside.
He adjusted the output of his weapons to just C+ rank Variant class, which drastically reduced the energy usage.
Unlike the four pirate crafts that had his ship locked in place, Alex's weapons were omnidirectional.
"AI, lock onto the three idiots currently attacking our shield outside."
Alex spoke to the AI assistant in a casual tone, as if he wasn't even being attacked right now and instead was having a relaxing spa.
"Targets locked, sir."
It only took a moment for it to reply.
"Fire the weapons, two shots for each just to make sure."
At that moment, six plasma cannons appeared from the confines of Alex's ship exterior.
Previously hidden, their 10 metre long barrels revealed themselves in all their glory, bringing quite a scary look to his ship now that they were out.
The three pirates looked at them with shock and horror when they saw them appear.
In their own arrogance and stupidity, they had failed to consider the fact that they were in the middle of a warzone!
Practically every ship in this system was fitted with weapons, though most were not as high calibre as Alex's.
