Buzz!

These words sent shivers down the spine of the Dàn-T?? Emperor as he looked towards the distance with a deep frown on his face. He had to admit with this level of defense is too much for a Danite like him who can only depend on the power of the familiar.

“Hahahaha! If this is the strength you wish to use to conquer the heavens, then I must ask you to reconsider. I believe I am the more suited candidate to take the heavens” Alex said with a cruel grin and the Dàn-T?? Emperor frowned.

The Dàn-T?? Emperor frowned as he prepared to continue another round of intense battle with Alex but then he stopped and looked towards the entrance to the core of the earth. From there a figure emerged, dressed in strange black and purple robes. His hair was cut given the mohawk hair cut and his body exuded immense arrogance.

Huh?

The Dàn-T?? Emperor frowned as he shot a glance toward Dean Hall. He raised an eyebrow, indicating his confusion as he didn’t know what to make of this unexpected interruption.

“I will lend you a hand since you clearly need it,” Dean Hall said in a cocky tone as his clothes fluttered and he drifted forward. His eyes were pinned on Alex’s figure alone.

“You killed my brother yet you dare show your face to me? What happened? Life got boring?” Alex asked with a genuinely surprised look on his face.

He has seen the way Dean Hall used to look at him before. He could see the fear and disdain in the eyes of the man whenever Dean Hall looked at him in the past but now there was nothing there but disgust.

.....

The type of disgust a higher being will have the weaker ones to suffer.

Something is wrong!

What is the source of his confidence or is he simply delusional?

Alex’s mind raced as he put the blood stains and torn robes. He knew Danny Ainsworth would confront Dean Hall since he always had a really good relationship with Damian.

His current condition was proof that Danny was the victor of that fight. So if he can’t beat Danny why would he even bother showing up here?

Alex frowned deeply as he felt uncomfortable with the current situation of things. He hated finding himself in uncertain situations but even now he dared not show weaknesses. Whatever it is that gives Dean Hall the confidence to face him is something he simply has to crush.

It has always been that simple!

“Do you think the battle of Gods is something a mortal can interfere with? Do you think this fight is something a mere mortal can just walk in on?” The Dàn-T?? Emperor was furious but he too could feel something was wrong so he dared not approach Dean Hall.

“Yet a god is too scared to approach a mortal. I cannot maintain this for long, if we are going to kill Alex Briggs now is the time” Dean Hall said coldly and the Dàn-T?? Emperor frowned.

He wanted to refuse but seeing his attacks had almost no effect on Alex he was hesitant now.

“Hehehe!” Alex laughed bitterly but he still remained unusually calm.

In the final moments of a person’s life, his true character will be revealed. Once a character as powerful as the Dàn-T?? Emperor has been forced to hesitate, it simply means his will is shaken and can be broken now. With that alone, Alex had written him off as an opponent and turned his attention to Dean Hall.

Who would have thought this former leader of the Hall family would be reduced to this state? Alex felt disgusted that this man was willing to sell the human race for his personal gains while painting it to look like a righteous act to preserve the human race.

Hehehe!

If he wins, the new generation of humans will call him a hero and call him evil.

If the Devil won, wouldn’t he have been the one Christians would have been praying to at the moment?

Might make right!

The victor tells the story!

Alex’s eyes chilled with resolve as those words rang through his mind as he slowly prepared for the battle of his life.

Probably the final battle of his life….

“When you two are done wasting my time, come,” Alex said in a deadly dry tone as he pushed his concentration to the max. He has always been the type to trust in his gut feeling and right now he saw the claws of death trying to overshadow him.

He was going to die here if he took them lightly.

No, even if he takes time seriously, he probably would still get killed.

This is a feeling he got only when battling the countless suicidal battleships of the alliance. To think he would experience that feeling again after close to a decade and now the threat is coming from just two men.

No, just one!

Who would have thought Dean Hall who has never entered his eyes would be the one to pose the greatest threat to him? Even back then when he was younger and was still under the Briggs family, he didn’t even consider the hall family their rivals. Such an insignificant person became the major antagonist of his life.

“After today, we will owe no debts to each other!” Alex said with eyes blazing with cold resolve.

“I agree” Dean Hall responded with an aloof expression on his face as his aura exploded!

Boom!

An invisible yet diabolical aura spread from his body going wide and far. The stench of death soon filled the center of the earth causing Alex and the Dàn-T?? Emperor to retreat in panic.

“What kind of sorcery is this? Why dabble with the dark arts?” The Dàn-T?? Emperor cried in fear leaving Alex stunned and confused. This was the first time he has come across such words in a while. He couldn’t help but wonder what they mean by dark arts.
