Ch 21: Alexis' Strength

As Alexis landed on the fortress, the soldiers greeted him very respectfully and with shining eyes. Alexis gestured for them to calm down and asked to meet with their general.

In no time, three generals from the three nations who were stationed here came to meet him. The general from the Octavia Kingdom was a big burly middle aged man. He was stronger than temple paladin Gran and looked to have a lot of fighting experience.

The other generals were also not weak. One was a decently good mage and the other one was a experienced scout. Her name was Luiying and she was also the one who had noticed the birth of the disaster class monster first.

She reported to Alexis that last time when she had seen the monster , it was more then 120 kilometres from this fortress. As the monsters was also moving very slowly while destroying the surrounding, she judged that it would take more than half a day to arrive here.

As the generals and Alexis were discussing, Alexis suddenly felt presence of a monster quickly coming toward the fortress. This monster were not a disaster class one but was stronger than monsters who were attacking the fortress before.

As the monster got closer to the fortress, soon the lookouts were also able to see the monster in question. It was a 9 meter tall bear with white fur and four front pows. Green fire was coming out from the side of it's mouth and it's green glowing eyes were radiating terrifying murderous intent.

As soon as the soldiers show this monster, they became super scared. This monster was called "Dokecel" and it was one of the strongest monster of the Nirfall Barrens. The soldiers had always made sure to avoid attracting it's attention but today the monster was suddenly attacking them.

But just as the soldiers were getting scared stiff, Alexis appeared at the edge of the fortress to check the monster out. The monster sensed the presence of a powerful individual and and got angry.

Then it opens its mouth and started to prepare a beam attack. After some time, a green beam was launched toward the fortress.

The mages who were responsible for the magical defense of the fortress did their best to somehow stop the attack with their barriers. Some even tried to use offensive magic to reduce the power of the beam.

But the beam attack was too strong and everything failed. The offensive magic spells were not able to stop the beam and all and the barrier were as thin as a sheet of paper before it.

Just as the soldiers thought with despair that the wall of their fortress would be broken by a single attack of the monster and a lot of their comrade would die, Alexis lifted his hand and used his "Adamantine Barrier" skill.

Immediately a multicoloured barrier with hexagonal units appeared in front of the fortress and blocked the beam attack. All the other barriers had broken as soon as they came in contact with the green beam but that was not the case for this multicoloured barrier. After the barrier and the beam struggled against one another for some time, it was the green beam who was defeated at last. The barrier remained intact.

Seeing that it's cherished beam attack had failed to do anything, the monster became even more angry. It roared loudly and it's whole body got covered in the green fire, especially the teeth and claws.

Seeing this, Alexis started running toward the monster with the intention of defeating it in close combat. The monster was also able to sense that Alexis was not weak so it also decided to go all out.

As Alexis ran toward it, the bear monster tried to sweep at him with all four of it's claws. Just as the bear's calw was about to hit him, Alexis moved his body and dodged the arm sweep with a hair's breath.

He repeated the same action again and again. Just like that, Alexis dodge all of the claw sweeps of the large bear and kicked it on the jaw with his knees. As soon as that happened, the monster received a big impact on its brain and became unconscious for a second.

But it came back to it's senses almost immediately and it tried to do a follow up counter attack in rage. But it was too late.

Alexis came down from the sky at full speed witn an axe kick. With this kick, he smashed the head of the bear monster on the ground. The ground cracked at the collision area.

This almost created a mini earthquake and not only that but the head of the bear monster had also turned into a pulp. This fearsome monster was already dead. But Alexis was still not able to relax.

The main reason for that was the presence of two more monsters that he sensed, who were also coming toward the fortress. Those two new monsters were also not weak and were at least as strong as the large bear monster.

Soon the figure of two more monsters appeared before the fortress. One of the monster was a 3 meter tall ball of white fur with a human like face peaking out from all the bush like fur. Three stone tablets with mysterious symbols were floating all around this monster.

The other monster was almost as large as bear monster but even more muscular. It had black coat of fur and the head of lamb.

The first monster was called Archantier it was a very strong magjc using monster. And the second monster was Lampronel which might even be stronger than the bear monster in terms of physical strength.

As Alexis got ready to fight them, the furball monster was the first to make a move. The stone tablets floating behind it started glowing and three magjc circles appeared behind the monster.

With the help of the floating stone tablets, the Archantiers were able to cast multiple spells at once which only a very experienced mage was able to do. That was reason why this monster was considered to be extremely dangerous. But this Archantier was out of luck as it's opponent was Alexis.

He had a skills called Arcane Eye which was capable of perfectly visualising the flow of magical energy. So he was also able to see the weak point of any spells.

To do something similar, a mage without the Arcane Eye needed to know the spell that the opponent was using very well and at the same time also needed to know the mage closely too.

The way everyone used their magical energy was different. So the weak point of a spell was different for each people and for each different kind of spells.

The mood of the person at the time of casting could also change the position of the weak point. So without the Arcane Eye or similar skills, finding the weak point of a spell almost impossible.

But as Alexis had the Arcane Eye it was not a problem for him. He quickly found the weak points of the three magic circles and used a elementary level mana bullet spell to hit those weak points. Immediately the spell dissipated, leaving the furball monster to be dumbfounded.

Alexis then slowly started walking toward the two monsters in a relaxed manner. Seeing this, the lamb monster was enraged and charged toward him and threw a punch. The furball monster was not sure what it should do but still it started to prepare another group of spells.

Even after seeing the large monster charging at him, Alexis was still perfectly calm. He lifted his hand and easily blocked the punch of the large monster with just one hand.

But that was not all. After blocking the punch, Alexis grabbed the hand harder and lifted the monster up with only one of his hands and then slammed the body of the monster to the ground. Seeing this scene, everyone was astonished by Alexis' superhuman strength.

After slamming the lamb monster to the ground once, Alexis lifted it up again, give it a spin and threw it toward the Archantier. As his throw was too fast, the Archantier was unable to dodge and was buried under the large body of the Lampronel.

All the people present were astonished by how easy this battle was for Alexis. So they looked at him with awe and waited for his next move.

To finsih these monsters off, Alexis decided to cast a flashy spell. Not any regular spell but a super strong one. That would give the soldiers a good moral boost too. With that in mind, Alexis started to cast his spell.
