Chapter 45: War VI
Alice and Yue immediately charged towards Alex who was preparing his magic. Wind could be seen pulling him off the ground, Alice slowed down for a second and jumped towards Alex.
Mid-air, Alice created several fireballs and shot them down on Alex. Yue could feel the heat radiating from the fireball even from far away, that was just how powerful the attack was.
「 Your sister isn't that bad, that attack of hers might do something if I land this attack right here. 」
Ena had pride for her sister and replied, 'Of course she isn't that bad! She's my sister, after all, the smartest genius after me!'
「 Hmm, we'll see about that. Let me focus. 」
As the fireball came down towards Alex, Yue used Chi Concealment to remove herself from Alex's attention. This combination attack would work only if the fireball distracts him for one second since they both know Alex could swipe the fireball away with one hand.
The Chi Concealment was a wise decision, it allowed Yue to completely draw Alex's attention away from herself and solely focused on the fireball that was coming at him.
*BOOM*
Right before the fireball hit Alex, he held up his arm and collided it with his fireball. Alex suddenly felt pain in his stomach, looking down, there was a blade of chi piercing through his abdomen.
"Hmm?" Alex confusedly hummed.
Even with his halo's abilities, he wasn't able to detect Ena. Heck, Alex wasn't even able to able to see her in his view, the only thing he saw was Alice in the air and the fireball that was coming down at him.
"You'll never decipher what I just did even with that halo of yours," Yue muttered loud enough for him to hear as she jumped back.
Even if the pain was there, the high confidence Alex had in his regeneration ability made him overlook the effects of the blade. When he tried to pull it out, his hand started burning and the blade was stuck in his abdomen.
Ena who was watching was confused on why he couldn't take the blade of chi out from his abdomen. When Ena herself was pierced Alex with her blade of chi, he was easily able to take it out without any damage done to him.
「 That's because I didn't use chi, I used the true chi that comes directly from your core. True chi can only be handled by you, that was why Alex wasn't able to take it out, only I can. 」
Ena was speechless, she didn't know she was able to use her true chi and shape it into something like this. Her horizons were widened once again, it was as if something changed in her, she needed one last push.
No matter how hard Alex tried, he couldn't take the blade of chi out of his stomach. He gritted his teeth, the scorched marks on his hands were appearing more and more as his internal organs were starting to burn.
Alice used Alex's distraction as a chance for her to attack, moving her arm in a down-to-up motion, several spikes erupted from the ground and pierced Alex's limbs. However, Alice knew that wouldn't hold him down, that's why she added more spikes to directly hit the joints of Alex's body so he couldn't move.
That was when Alex's halo appeared above his head to assist him, but Yue knew what he was going to do, appearing behind him, she grasped the halo in her chi-covered hands and shattered it.
"Guh..." Alex coughed up several mouthfuls of blood as his head slumped.
When the mutants tried to come over to their master, the royal members immediately rushed over and started dealing with the mutants.
*ROAR*
The mutants roared in a rage since they couldn't get to their master, the adrenaline gave the mutants a sudden boost as they forcefully started charging in and fired countless amounts of magic.
Cries could be heard coming from the royal members, but luckily, Ivy and Ellie arrived at the scene quickly. Lightning crackled through the air as a wall of roots blocked all of the attacks that were coming at Ena and the royal members.
'Yue, is everything alright back there?'
「 For now, yes. Everything I'm seeing within my observation range seems to be fine, but that's not what's important to us right now. Do you want to switch back and deal with your brother? 」
'Right, I forgot about that. Is it that easy to switch consciousness?'
「 Tsk, of course not. Too much switching can affect your mental health, we can switch every 2 days to let your brain rest. 」
'I see, then let's switchback. I'd like to deal with this.'
In a second, Ena felt like she was being pulled in and she was now back in her own body. There was slight nauseousness before she recovered herself.
Seeing the sight of Alex all butchered up made her stomach turn but this was justice for kidnapping all of the children, enslaving them, and turning them into monsters.
"Ena..." Alice muttered.
Ena shaped two small knife blades in her hands, one for piercing the gem in the middle of his chest, and the other one for piercing his heart.
That would end him for once.
With each step, Ena was getting closer and closer to Alex. Her eyes grew cold as the sparkles in her eyes disappeared. Alice didn't know how to describe the feeling she was getting from Ena, it was as if she was a different person.
Once Ena was close enough, she brought the two blades in front of where the gem was placed and where his heart was. Right before she was about to pierce him, Alex looked into Ena's eyes.
"Sister, save me." Alex pleaded, it was the same old look the original Alex gave when he needed help.
Ena froze, her eyes widened in shock and surprise. She didn't know what to do, it was as if her mind malfunctioned.
Then a smile grew on Alex's face.
"You hesitated."
