CHAPTER 182 - Alex and the Beast 1.

Woosh!

The sound of something—something big—whistling through the air was heard. Alex could feel it through his blood that a beast was approaching him, and although he couldn't see it, he rolled to the side.

[It's coming again,] Sophie warned as the air whistled again, and Alex jumped aside again.

By now, Alex could at least guess where the beast was coming from. So, he waited. He waited for the beast to move again.

[9 o'clock!] Sophie exclaimed in his head, and without a second's delay, Alex launched at least ten fireballs in that direction.

Boom! X10

The fireballs, however, didn't hit the beast as they were supposed to; they instead went to crash into a wall in that direction.

'Tch,' Alex clicked his tongue inwardly, only to roll to the side when he heard Sophie's yell. [Dodge!] 

"Phew..." Exhaling sharply, Alex stood up straight; his senses flared up. 'Looks like it really is 'that' beast.'
