The once-green forest was now reduced to a burning and broken battlefield. All one could see was destruction. And at the center of this destruction stood two figures, one yelling in pain while the other calmly avoided the wild attacks he threw.
They were Alex and the leader of the assassins.
"I am surprised again," the leader spoke, his gaze fixed on Alex trembling in pain. "You somehow recovered all of your mana, and you turned out to have life affinity as well."
"Dammit!" Growling in pain, Alex tried to smash the leader into the ground, but again he failed to cover up for the speed. 'I'm already using all of my speed-related abilities!'
"I have been trying to maintain distance not because I was scared," the leader went on, his expression lazy but body in full alter.
He knew that Alex was dangerous—way more dangerous than he had initially thought.
