Chapter 280: CHAPTER 280 - Binding.
If someone screams "I won't go down alone!" while throwing a destructive attack at you.
An attack so strong that it would kill you if it landed on you, what would you think of it?
'This must be his last attack, once I survive, I win.'
Yes, this would be the thing anyone would think.
If that was not enough for you to let your guard down, then what if your enemy seemed to have used all of his mana, and even his injuries don't seem to be healing anymore?
'He's giving his all in the last attack.'
This is what would come to your mind, and that is what the demon generals thought.
Alex made it look like he was exhausted, and he also suppressed his healing speed.
His injuries, the gaping holes created by the spears made of bones and blood were now spurting out golden blood.
They were still being healed but the speed was not as fast as before.
Alex was using his mana in something else, something that took so much mana that he even had to stop the incubus transformation for a while.
'The demons won't extend the fight…'
Alex knew that the demons wouldn't want the fight to continue for long, so the power of their attacks would only increase.
Alex was also aware of the fact that the demons weren't using their main attacks yet.
He was giving his all, but the demons weren't.
They were trying to not kill him.
Alex didn't need to be wiser to know that, and he knew for a fact that if he stopped now, then they wouldn't fight him.
'But, I don't want to stop!'
Yes, that was the problem.
Alex, for the first time, had a chance to give his all in a fight, and he wanted to enjoy this fight to the maximum.
To do that….
'I need to get that…'
Alex's eyes turned to look at the shatter devourer, and he grinned.
While the demons tried to take on the attack he had launched thinking that it was Alex's last attack, Alex let his body fall freely toward the shatter devourer.
'Huh?'
He suddenly felt like the Shatter Devourer was trying to talk to him, but being too young, it couldn't even do that.
*BOOOOOOOM*
Alex ignored the loud boom, he instead increased his falling speed, reaching the ground the next instant…
*Boom*
He landed on the ground with a boom, but the sound was almost inaudible due to the large booming sound from the clash of the demons and his attack.
Alex looked at the Shatter Devourer.
*Crackle*
A venta black-colored mass of energy crackling with silver streaks of space energy.
Alex kept staring at the mass of energy, not stopping it as it slowly touched his right hand, which was still injured because of the earlier incident.
'A conscious skill, huh…'
Alex muttered as he saw the destruction armor on his right hand getting devoured without any resistance.
As the destruction was devoured, his right which was still being healed came into view.
His hand was charred black by now.
The sparks of black and silver were snaking here and there on his right hand.
"Ssss…"
Alex hissed as he looked at the condition of his hand.
He wasn't feeling any pain, but just looking at his hand's condition made him wince, realizing how lucky he was to have the Supreme human bloodline.
*Swoop*
But the next second, with a swoop, the sparks on his arm vanished, absorbed by the shatter devourer.
'Oh?'
Alex raised a brow as he saw the Shatter Devourer slowly crawling up his right hand.
Unlike what one would think, he didn't feel any pain or anything as the black mass of energy started covering his palm, moving up on his hand.
All he felt was a bit of a tingling wherever the SD (Shatter Devourer) passed through.
But when the SD had covered his right arm completely while also devouring the destruction energy on his body, it stilled.
*Crackle*
A loud crackle was heard…..
"What's up..?"
Alex, who felt a bit nervous for the first time as he looked at the still SD, muttered those words.
*Brrr*
The SD just trembled a bit in response, but Alex for some reason felt goosebumps all over his body…
'Hey, Sophia, what is it trying to say…?'
Alex again turned toward the only person he thought would be able to answer his question, and Sophia didn't disappoint him.
[If I were in your place, I would be gritting my teeth to not cut my tongue.
The SD is trying to bind itself to you, and that's what it is warning you about.
So, you better be-]
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Before Sophia could even complete her words, Alex for the first time screamed like a beast.
The good thing was that Alex had his teeth grounding. He listened to Sophia's advice the moment she worded those things.
But, he still didn't expect the pain to be this high.
[Oh well, looks like it already started…]
Sophia, whose explanation was cut off by Alex's pained scream just sighed.
Alex couldn't see anything.
His whole body was trembling in pain.
His eyes would go blank and then gain light again because he was losing his conscience and gaining then waking up again as the pain wouldn't let him stay out cold.
Alex couldn't move, his fists were clenched and his toes were curled, gripping the ground.
'Just why the hell is my bloodline not adjusting to the pain?!'
Alex yelled inwardly.
That was the only thing he could even think of.
The pain was too much for even him.
But it was not uncalled for as the SD was binding with his soul and it was entering his blood streams, mixing up with his blood to let Alex control it better.
[Your bloodline won't protect you from something that would bring you profit, and you have to go through this pain if you want to control SD.]
Sophia answered Alex's question even though she was well aware of the fact that Alex wasn't even listening to her.
The fact that Alex could even think straight enough to yell those words was surprising.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Alex just continued screaming as he fell to his knees.
*Scratch*
His hands clawed the ground in pain, creating deep gashes on the ground.
Alex wished with all of his heart that this excruciating pain that he was feeling would go away soon.
The soon for him, however, was the next instant since an instant felt like an hour to him.
The pain was really unbearable.
But he seemed to have forgotten for a while that he was not alone in this area and that his enemies were still alive.
"Don't let him complete whatever he is doing!"
Valerius yelled an order and the other three rushed toward Alex.
