Chapter 278: Hurt's Call

Alex noticed Hurt's frustrated expression.

Void talents were the rarest of all. You can mould the space around yourself and can attack going beyond the physical barrier by distorting the space around the object.

For example, someone threw an insanely large fireball the size of a planet at you and to destroy it, you can just form a black hole in the middle which would suck everything it thought you couldn't achieve this kind of feat even at overlord rank

Even though it can allow the user to attack transversing the space, there was still a flaw in it. One cannot mould the laws of space if the object was living or made up of organic material.

So, in a way, the Lich used the undead as the meat shield restricting Hurt from directly attacking the Lich.

Alex contemplated whether to engage and help Hurt or to watch from the sideline. He was unaware of Hurt's nature and his motive and didn't know whether he will turn out to be a foe or a friend so he needs to be cautious or else he may be disposed of by this guy.

There is no heaven-defying genius who could reach legendary rank along with mastery of space here. It's not some kind of novel but real life and even geniuses had some limits.

The battle between Hurt and Lich was at a standstill and none of them was able to find a way out to destroy the other side's defence.

Hurt knew that the Lich had the tactical advantage and could summon the undead endlessly.

Hurt cannot drag the battle long but he was helpless as he wasn't able to approach the other party.

Hurt who was striking at the undead coming at him sensed a certain someone and for a moment he was taken by surprise.

Alex also noticed something strange in Hurt's behaviour and suddenly heard a voice.

[Alex, help me. We need to get rid of the Lich along with trouble up ahead.]

Alex's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

'Telepathy is this guy, a Saint realm powerhouse.'

Alex's heartbeat fastened as soon as he heard the telepathy.

Only those who reached the Saint realm would be able to use telepathy which means this guy was at least at the Saint realm or in the worst-case scenario, he might be above it which was quite absurd.

'No, it might be a skill or a spell.'Alex shook his head trying to calm himself.

"Just who are you? Are you a 20-year-old kid studying at the Academy?"

[Can't you keep your questions aside for now? I will die if this goes on]Hurt voice rang in his mind.

"You want me to help? What if you killed me after everything is over to keep your secret? I am sure you are not an ordinary guy and if you turned out to be a villain then doesn't that mean, I will be committing a grave sin."

[I promise that I will not hurt you. You can rest assured.]

"Promise my ass. I don't believe in fake promises. Swear an oath in the name of Goddess that you will not kill me or hurt me in any way."

[You...]

Hurt felt infuriated by Alex's imprudent words.

[Alex, you know that I can pull you into a mess quite easily and make you their target. The only reason I asked for help is to get rid of the curse. You have received strong blessings from Goddesses.]

Hurt spoke in an annoyed tone while flying up in the sky throwing spells at the undead while many steel vultseeker chased after him.

"You dare threaten me. If you have guts, you can try. I know my ability and if I want to leave even a Mythic rank couldn't trap me." Alex snorted.

In terms of escaping, he was one of the best, after all, many times he tried to flee away from the Demoness Goddess of war.

Hurt gritted his teeth in anger. Mana's oath wasn't that simple and once he swore, he would be bound by it.

There may be many scenarios where things go wrong and in a case where Alex gets possessed by evil, he had to fight Alex, and at that time wouldn't he be in grave danger?

Failing to comply with the oath will lead him to a miserable ending. He was unfortunate to get caught by the curses which were eroding his strength as well as consciousness.

He was sure that if it were someone else, he would have already fallen into the grasp of Lich.

"Fine, I accept your terms." Hurt screamed while flying in the air.

Alex's lips curled upwards. He had already tied the rope to the neck of the scapegoat.

Alex dusted his hand and got up from the branch.

Raising his hand, he tapped on his forehead.

A small sword-shaped tattoo appeared due to Alex's touch which started to fade away.

After staying at the academy for a few days, to maximise the output of his training Alex had sealed his and Riya's strength to early master rank.

Yes, he had been fighting while holding back even in the case of Legendary rank Lich before.

At first, he was going to undo the seal but after getting the quest, he was sure that there was bigger trouble ahead and he had to save his strength for later.

A surge of power erupted from Alex.

A crackling sound was heard. All the joints in his body rattled and a sense of euphoria rose in his body.

Alex's strength started to rise and finally stopped in mid-Epic rank.

Alex looked at his stats with satisfaction. His rank may be Epic but his stat points were in between mid and peak Transcendent rank.

If compared according to his understanding, a normal legendary rank had stat points of 180 in each and stronger ones, a little more.

So, he can at least take on the weaker legendary ones like the Lich.

Only after the experience, Alex knew the true value of stat points without stat points, he would even struggle to take down a Transcendent rank.

The Goddesses were right to limit it otherwise if this went on he may take down a supreme in Mythic rank, because of additional stat points.

Alex added four stat points to magic and looked ahead.

"Fire, in the hole," Alex shouted and lunged forward.

Alex's body is covered in bright Light shot forward towards the Lich.

BOOM!

An explosion shakes the whole place, blowing away the undead.

Beams of light glistened in the air and bombarded them on the ground creating a chain of explosions.

Just before they could react, a huge greatsword, 20 metres tall rose in the sky and fell over them.

"Hehehee!You have been rampaging for a while and I have to hold back and behave properly. Isn't it blatant injustice?"

Slash!

The huge great sword was swung horizontally which uprooted all the undead and sight before Alex was entirely cut off.

Alex pulled the great sword and rested it on his shoulder, which seemed as light as a feather in his hands.
