"Hahaha!!"
The man dashed while laughing wickedly. This time, instead of punching the ground, he followed Alexander when he jumped.
As both of them floated in the air, he swung his fist. Knowing that his attack was inevitable, Alexander covered his face with both arms and enhanced them with mana.
--Whack!
The boy's body flung onto the forest floor and a loud thud sound was heard followed by dust spreading in the space. Debris was falling around Alexander who tried to get up with the aid of his sword, however...
"Cough! Cough!"
He halted midway and threw up a mouthful of blood. Even though he coated his entire body with mana, it didn't help much as the impact of the punch hurt the hell out of him.
It seemed he had broken ribs and internal organs injured. The man landed perfectly on the ground and looked at him indifferently.
