90 Chapter 90: Little brother...

Boom!

A vehicle not too far from that of Alex’s lit up in flames and drifted uncontrollably across the road, hindering the movements of other vans on the road!

They were still in the destroyed part of Florida filled with uncompleted buildings, so Alex wasn’t expecting a fight to break out fast!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

More shots were taken but this time from different buildings all at once! Alex’s eyes dilated in shock and fear! Unless they have a traitor amongst them there is no way the enemy would have known their attentions and prepared an ambush so quickly while picking their precise route!

“Retreat!” Alex barked decisively as he pushed the door open and jumped out of the car!

As much as he would have loved to find out more about the enemy’s information source, this isn’t the right time! A shot was fired at his vehicle and he had to stop it before Tracy gets hurt!

.....

Xiu!

Alex’s body turned Silver as he flew past the cars, racing towards the shell heading their way.

ROAR!

Alex let out a furious growl as e punched forward! An eruption shook the skies as Alex landed gracefully, gazing at the distant buildings with a stern look on his face! His actions left the enemy forces slightly puzzled, halting their attacks and ultimately giving his forces a chance to organize their retreat.

“Alex...” One sword’s voice rang in his ears like a bell but Alex didn’t seem to pay attention.

“Stay back... I will provide cover... Retreat... I will definitely make it back with no sweat! ” Alex said casually in an attempt to calm their minds.

Especially that of Tracy...

The brief pause lasted barely five seconds before the sounds of rockets firing rocked the skies again but this time they were all aimed at Alex.

Just as planned, Alex knew his appearance would gain the attention of the enemy. The reward and fame for killing a Briggs are far beyond their self-control! Alex could tell they were practically drooling while pulling the trigger!

Swoosh!

<> Alex declared in his mind as he began charging forward.

Using the second form perceive, he maneuvered through the shots, and those he couldn’t stop he punched at them.

Bang!

Bang!,

Bang!

Alex was like the grim reaper slowly approaching no matter what was thrown at him. He charged forward like a true unstoppable spear, closing the distance between him and the enemies!

Boom!

Suddenly a powerful beam of blue light surged out of one building, axing towards Alex! He was caught off guard by the attack and had no chance of dodging so he responded by throwing a powerful right fist forward!

Boom!

A mushroom-shaped smoke formed and from it, Alex flew out bloodied!

“What the hell was that?” One sword gasped in shock! That attack was equivalent to an attack from a B-rated guardian!

“Stop now! We need to help him!” Tracy cried out with reddened eyes but One sword ignored her.

The locations of all the enemies were yet to be confirmed so running out Is stupid!

“Retreat! I wish you luck, young master” One sword barked an order and then bowed respectfully at Alex’s image on the screen.

Meanwhile...

Alex spat out a mouthful of blood as he struggled to rise to his feet. His eyes were on the numerous shells heading his way and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

They all want to kill him?

For what reason though?

No one knows!

Alex’s gaze remained pinned on the floor as his eyes turned black and he used his gravity powers to slightly shift the trajectory of all the attacks aimed at him! They all landed around him but none got close enough to hurt him, leaving everyone shocked.

What kind of unnecessary good fortune is this?

Meanwhile, Alex didn’t even bother to dwell on the thought! He got too hurt to dodge so he stood gallantly waiting for the second beam to appear.

Xiu!

The powerful beam shot again, racing towards Alex at a frightening pace. Without hesitation Alex let his fingertips run across the demon bat daggers, turning his skin black while he cast the silver statue technique, covering his black skin with silver armor.

He threw both hands forward as If welcoming a family member and the beam struck!

Boom!

This time Alex wasn’t outrightly blown away. His body slid back while his feet dug deeper into the ground. His eyes lit up with fighting spirit as the beam smashed into his palms. Alex felt like a truck was dropped on his hands and he was asked to carry it.

What he found shocking was that he was silently absorbing the blue beam, reducing the pressure on him but even then the pressure reduced was negligible and it didn’t take long before his body got saturated by the excess energy absorbed!

Bleh!

Alex spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees while struggling with the beam. His eyes were bleeding, visible cracks could be seen on his dual armor skin, and blood sipping out of them!

Numerous shots from the RPG had been released! At this point, all Alex could see was death.

His mind raced back to his words to Tracy!

“I am the fucking absolute... You don’t have to worry... The person capable of killing me is yet to be born!”

He could literarily see her face covered in tears, heartbroken!

No! This is not how we go down!

Even if I fall I have to do it while giving them hope all through!

ROAR!!!!!

Alex let out a furious cry as he struggled to get back on his feet! His eyes were like cold daggers as he gazed at the shells heading his way and he showed no fear!

He was ready and willing to accept what follows next but then he heard a familiar voice which made his heart of stone tremble!

“You have done enough little brother... Leave the rest to me!” A calm but vicious voice boomed across the sky, getting everyone’s attention!
