"What should we do, Miss Yumi?" the perfect antagonists returned to Yumi's side, for even they had been thrown away by Alexander Deathwill's descent.

Their lady wanted them to exhaust Elias Deathwill's energies. Now that someone better to achieve this task appeared, the men asked for the next direction.

They used to be soldiers in their former world, so their reactions and loyalty were in the bones. But for some reason, they weren't loyal to Yasir but to Yumi.

Yumi scrutinized the battlefield below her, "Roy's story is confirmed. Alexander Deathwill wields the antagonist mana as well. He has already started developing his strength with three concepts mixed within him.

I was interested in Elias Deathwill's energy because Yasir recognized the aura in The Lost Kingdom. I guess he will send more forces here soon," Yumi whispered, trying to see through Yasir and what he possibly knew about The Lost Kingdom and its energy.

She made a rough guess already based on what Elias Deathwill displayed.

"Leave Alexander Deathwill alone. Focus on the Lightning Goddess and her tank. These two have more unique energy than others, so you will gain valuable combat experience from them.

It's important to personally know and feel what they are capable of," Yumi said, sending her loyal people to exchange blows with Olivia and Josh.

She gazed at Alex and Elias, both engaged in heavy combat, "It's taxing to want to see and know everything. Someone has to do it and be conscious of everyone around you, including yourself."

Their first clash happened in Alex's world.

It was a pretty one-sided clash, for Elias Deathwill didn't want to fight with Alex head-on. But as they finally met in the Avander World, Elias would use all his strength to see through Alex's changes.

Holding his sword in one hand like a battle maniac, Elias filled its blade with his abundant sword mana, creating a storm of energy around it.

He waved his sword in an unsightly way, yet every slash leaving the blade perfectly encompassed Alex, limiting his movement.

Alex didn't plan on an escape, though. His body erupted with Wrath, all his blades oozing out unpretentious darkness.

He swept the area before himself, lunging at Elias Deathwill with all his hatred.

Elias bent his arm, fending off all slashes similar to his. He then smiled at Alex's attempt at a close combat battle.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

After blocking all swords and even Alex's punches, Elias threw a fast and powerful slash, cutting through Alex's armor as if paper. Blood fountained in abundance as Alex's HP significantly fell.

He didn't let out any sound, using this brief moment for his advantage, not wanting to sacrifice his health points for nothing.

His Asura Arms extended like a spider's legs, aiming at Elias's shoulder. Alex's normal hands also shot forward rockets!

BANG!

All swords perfectly went through Elias' shoulder, their tips lodged in his flesh. Eldritch Touch went through them as if kindled by Alex's hatred.

Alex held Elias by his collar, bumping his forehead into his, their eyes so close to each other that everyone could see a clear contrast between them.

"I know your plan, Elias!" Alex howled, his swords digging through Elias' shoulder, their intent to take away his arm, "You want the sins to give you humanity, don't you?!"

BANG!

Elias withdrew, his shoulder bleeding severely, for blood spurted worse than the fountain. He distanced himself, glaring at Alex, who apparently knew about his desire.

Alex felt better after seeing Elias' countenance, "I like that expression. And I will share it with everyone, Elias.

What? Have I hit home?" Alex slowly walked toward Elias. A sharp wind started building around him, which was The Fallen's Fury(SSS). And as Alex felt the pleasure of inducing anger in Elias' heart, his heart boiled with battle intent.

Elias didn't reply, gazing at the man while his sins' powers crept onto his body, giving him quite cool tattoos.

"You think you need external help to feel emotions?" Alex asked, getting closer and closer to Elias, "You need Sin Of Lust to make you fucking hard?! You need that power to love someone?!

Do you need Sin Of Envy to be envious of others? Haven't you been envious of others all this time?! Why would you go to higher realms alone, fighting with those high-level people without any having your back?

Because you were envious of them! You always had those emotions within yourself!

You fucking deluded yourself into believing that you don't even have a hint of it! All because you couldn't control yourself.

You are a loser! And I will get rid of you for hurting girls close to my heart!" Alex's mana heated, erupting from his body.

In his mind, he heard Ivonne's voice.

[You really don't want to use me?]

"You sit quiet," Alex replied; still a little irked by the fact that Ivonne didn't want to explain her heart to him.

Ivonne bit her lips, using all her willpower to not quarrel with Alex. It was not a time or place for it.

And while these two talked, Elias Deathwill reached his current peak form. He looked similar to a dark demon with tattoos littering all his body. He drowned in dense mana while his sword shone in the darkness, seven sins' glyphs standing out amidst the storm.

"Alexander You are a good vessel," Elias whispered, his voice only reaching Alex's heart, "I wanted to give you an emotionless death. But that's out of the window now, isn't it?

You act like you know me That makes me generate a genuine Wrath, you know? I think you want to close your fucking mouth if you want to win against me," Elias threatened, clearly irked up by Alex's words.

But as Alex took joy in such reactions, he sneered, shaking his head, and adding oil to Elias' blazing fury, "I am a battle maniac, too. But I know how to control it. I love my wives, family, and friends.

Our love is a battle. Everyone wins in that battle, you know?

Ah, you don't You are a mere loser who doesn't even know how to battle girls. Do you want me to show you how to do it?" Alex smiled wider, his words triggering Elias Deathwill like never before.
