Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 185: CHAPTER 185 – Simple Sword?

Makrum was ready with a plan as he watched the other Aquathrens going toward the water's surface.

'If you want entertainment, I will give you an entertainment that you could never forget….'

Makrum looked at the mid-boss who nodded his head before both of them started going up as well, but just then….

*Pierce*

"Akkhh!!"

"AHH!!"

*Pierce*

"ARGHH!!"

*Pierce*

"NO-"

*Pierce*

Makrum looked up and saw his soldiers dying as they cried for help.

'That bastard!'

Makrum cursed as he knew who it was.

But there was a bigger problem at hand right now.

The soldiers who were brimming with confidence now seemed a bit cautious and scared.

'Don't destroy my meat shield, you devil…'

Makrum muttered inwardly.

He knew why Alex was doing that.

He had been in battles against different groups, so he knew full well what Alex was doing.

'I need them to be confident about our victory, only then would they be a perfect meat shield.

'But he is taking that thing away from them….'

The only thing he saw the other Aquathrens was as meat shields.

It didn't matter to him whether they died or lived, he wanted them to have confidence and arrogance.

Those two things make people do things they would not usually do, and that is what he wanted right now.

But Alex's attack was stripping away that confidence and arrogance of theirs.

However, he saw that the attack stopped after once.

'Maybe he is trying to save his mana for later.'

Makrum had asked for a physical fight and Alex would do that, but there were ways to use mana in physical fights as well, and Makrum thought that Alex was saving his mana for that purpose.

But then he saw that Alex was talking with that little wolf and he got an idea.

As soon as the Aquathrens got to the surface and saw the enemy they were fearing, they were shocked to see that there were only two enemies in front of them.

"Do you see them?! They are the enemies we have to face!"

Just then, Makrum emerged from the water and stood up on the surface of the water as he shouted while pointing at Alex and Noctura.

His words shocked the Aquathrens.

'They are the enemies we have to fight?!'

'Just the two of them?!'

'What was the attack before? Who did that?!'

There were many questions in their minds but before any of them could voice it out, Makrum shouted again.

"Do you see his attitude after what he did to your brothers?!

He has the nerve to stand there and chat casually as if nothing had happened even after what he did!

Are you guys going to take that lying?!"

Makrum knew that there was only one thing that could help people overcome fear.

It was anger.

Anger could cloud one's judgment and make one go to the extreme, and it worked better than confidence or arrogance.

The Aquathrens were bloodthirsty beasts anyway, so just a bit of inciting and they would rush at you like they were hungry for your blood.

And that is what happened.

"How dare he?!"

"That bastard got a death wish!"

"They are just two anyways, we can kill them 100 times!!"

"I will make him watch as I eat him!"

One after another, the Aquathrens started cursing Alex and they started shouting about how they would kill Alex.

Makrum just smiled as he saw that and then he shouted.

"What are you all waiting for then?!?!"

The Aquathrens ran ahead while shouting just after Makrum's words fell.

"YEAH!"

"Kill him!!!"

….

…

..

.

"So, just wait for a while, I will get you a skill similar to this one."

Alex stated and Noctura nodded her head with some excitement hidden in her eyes.

Although she didn't want to be called weak, she was still excited to get the power that Alex used.

After all, she found it pretty cool, and it fitted well for an assassin like her.

Noctura is supposed to stay invisible, so if her attacks are seen, then she would be discovered as well, but with the skill that Alex used, her attack would directly reach the enemy, killing them without letting them know where the attack came from.

As Noctura was cooking things on her own, both she and Alex heard the shouts of Makrum, and they also heard the shouts of the Aquathrens.

Alex looked at Noctura, and Noctura did the same before both of them sighed.

'Was there any need for that much hype…?'

Alex simply opened his palm and his simple sword appeared in his hand.

But then the simple sword turned into a sphere.

The simple sword which was supposed to be a lethal weapon, turned into a sphere the size of a cricket ball.

But Alex held it like it was the most normal thing and then he held the sphere from both sides and broke the sphere into two spheres.

When he did that, he had two tennis ball-sized spheres in his hands now.

Noctura looked at all that happening with interest as the next second she saw Alex's hands being enveloped by those black spheres as they turned into jelly-like structures, but soon they took shape.

*Whistle*

Alex whistled as he looked at his hand which was now coated with a black layer that shone with a golden lustre.

'Not going to lie, this looks cool…'

Alex muttered inwardly.

He could feel the strength of the black layer that covered his hands.

It covered his fingers, wrists, and up to the elbow.

It was more like armor than a weapon, but as they say, 'Even a shield can be used as a weapon, it's just how you use it'.

Alex punched the air two of three times.

*Boom**Boom**Boom*

The force behind the punches was so strong that it broke the sound barrier with every punch.

Alex smiled with satisfaction.

'You sure are useful…'

Alex muttered as he rubbed his hands together, as he did that, he felt the layer above his hand vibrate.

'Yeah, you are a good weapon,' Alex smiled.

He answered as if he could understand what it meant.

As if it didn't like that answer the gloves or the black layer around Alex's hands tightened a bit.

'Ok, ok, you are the best weapon.'

Alex hurriedly corrected himself and the grip finally returned to how it was.

It is the simple sword that Alex uses, the only change is that after Alex got to Epic rank, the Simple sword did that as well.

But a change occurred.

The simple sword turned into a sphere, and upon inspection, Alex found out that the simple sword could now change shapes.

On one hand, it can turn into an arrow, hammer, long sword, knife, or any kind of weapon.

On the other hand, it can turn into armor, a helmet, a shield, clothes, or anything that could protect the user.

It was much more useful than before, but Alex was using it as anything other than a sword for the first time.

"All right, you ready to have some fun?"

Alex asked the question for both Noctura and the Simple sword as he looked at the 1000+ Aquathrens running toward them as they started coming ashore.

"Yes!"

Noctura exclaimed in an excited voice while the simple sword or gloves as it was right now, vibrated in agreement.

"Let's go then!"

Alex smiled as he flashed toward the incoming wave of fuming Aquathrens.
