Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 187: CHAPTER 187 – Trap!

"Argh!!"

Makrum groaned in pain as he stood up. Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr

'W-what the hell….?'

Makrum thought dumbfoundedly.

He could feel the pain in his jaw.

It was as if someone was hammering his jaw again and again.

The more he tried to move it the more it hurt, so he hesitantly lifted his hand and touched his jaw but….

'M-my jaw!!'

'That bastard broke my jaw!'

"Ahhhhhh!"

Makrum screamed in pain as the pain of his broken jaw finally hit him.

His jaw was hanging loosely, he felt like his jaw would fall off if he pulled a bit harder.

For Makrum, who had never had to fight a hard battle and only tortured people weaker than himself, the pain of something breaking was a first experience.

Even before when Alex held his shoulder a bit harder, the pain was not much, as it didn't break anything, but what he was feeling right now was too much.

Makrum stood up while holding his broken jaw when he heard a mocking voice.

"Are you crying like a girl now? I thought you were a guy…."

Alex spoke as he looked doubtfully at Makrum's lower half.

"Aw Wawaw!!"

'You bastard!!'

Makrum roared as he threw a fist right on Alex's face.

But Alex just tilted his head, dodging the attack before he delivered an uppercut at Makrum's broken jaw.

*Baam*

"Gahhh!!"

Makrum was launched up in the air before he fell into the sea, causing water to splash at Alex.

Alex looked below him with a smile permanently marrying his face.

"You do know that water is see-through, right?"

Alex spoke as he sidestepped and just as he did so, Makrum with his fist curled up, jumped out of the water or more like flew out of water.

Makrum was an Aquathren, so like any other Aquathren, he was a good swimmer as well.

Good here means that he was very fast, much faster than he could ever be on land, so when he shot himself toward Alex from below.

He has the intention of punching Alex from below, but Alex moves out of the way, and Makrum, unable to lower his speed is shot out of the water's surface.

Makrum quickly landed on the surface of the water and glared at Alex hatefully.

'It hurts!'

Makrum though as his jaw was now not even moving, he couldn't open his mouth now.

"You're still not going to attack?"

Alex looked at Makrum and asked as he stood in front of Makrum in a relaxed pose.

Makrum gritted his teeth as he looked at Alex.

'Are you mocking me?!'

He exclaimed inwardly before he clenched his fist and decided to go on with his plan.

Makrum was standing face to face with Alex having his back turned toward the island.

This is what Makrum wanted.

Makrum turned toward the coast under Alex's watchful eyes before he bellowed.

"Aow!!"

'Now!!'

His voice was not clear, but his shout was so loud that it could be heard by Alice and Ann who were sitting on the island and looking at the fight or massacre.

Alex frowned as he could understand what Makrum was trying to say.

But then Alex's eyes widened as he saw Makrum grinning with his broken jaw as he looked toward the coast.

'Noctura!'

The first thing that came to his mind was her.

He knew that Makrum was planning something to do with her.

'The other SS-ranked Aquathren!'

Just then, Alex realized that he had yet to see the mid-boss that he had let go before.

'Shit!'

Alex quickly focused all of his perception on where Noctura was standing as he turned his face toward her with a snap.

For a second, he forgot that there Alice and Ann were right beside Noctura, and Noctura herself was strong enough to fight against an SS-ranked mid-boss beast.

Makrum's bloody smile made him forget that.

It was his excessive worry for Noctura that caused him to forget everything.

His body and mind instinctively turned back as if they didn't want something to happen to Noctura.

As if they didn't want the same thing happening.... again?

Alex didn't know why he felt that, but his worry for Noctura was genuine.

She was the only one linked with him; she was linked with his soul, she was linked to him in every timeline or dimension.

He didn't want to see her getting hurt.

'What if these guys had some very strong weapon?'

'What if that shit pants was going to use that against Noctura?'

'She is busy fighting the S-rank beasts, would she even be able to react in time?'

Many questions came to his mind one after another.

But just as he looked back toward Noctura, another shout was heard.

"Wo ie aow!"

'Do it now!'

Makrum shouted and….

*Woosh*

The sound of something moving very fast in the water was heard.

Alex hurriedly turned his head back at Makrum, but his perception was a mess as he had it extended toward the island.

With his perception elongating in one direction, he could not sense what was happening around him, but he could still see it.

It was then that Alex saw two hands emerging from the water, right beside his feet before they held his feet.

*Splash*

Alex was pulled inside the water, but before Alex could kick away the one that pulled him down or before he could even get completely submerged into the water.

*Swosh*

The sound of something swishing through the air was heard and when Alex looked toward Makrum, he saw a large fist coated with swirling water and mana right in front of his face.

Alex willed for it and the black-gloved of his turned into a black gooey substance and moved toward his face to shield it, but Alex gritted his teeth as he knew it would not make it.

Alex clenched his teeth as he knew that there was no other way than taking the hit.

It all happened too fast for him to even be able to think straight or he could've simply used the temporal pause or destruction energy to stop Makrum's attack.

Or maybe it was because of the fact that he never thought of using those skills in the first place.

But as said before, it all happened a bit too fast, and Alex's mind was preoccupied by his worry for Noctura.

However, Alex still smashed his foot on the head of the guy who was pulling him down, and he used his peak SS-rank stats to do it.

*Baam**Boom*

Two loud crashing sounds were heard as a big wave was generated from the impact of the attacks.

"Alex!!" X2

Alice and Ann who were looking at the fight while relaxing in their seats were shocked by the development, they shouted as they hurriedly stood up and rushed to catch Alex's body that was launched up in the air, and was falling toward the water's surface.
