Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 334 - Alex's Strength



333

The atmosphere on the field grew even more tense, as Theo and the others were surrounded and pressured by the 3 Sky realm fighters and the rest of insurgents. However, before the fight could happen, a figure was seen descending from the sky.

A huge bird with white and brownish gold feathers swooped down from the sky. When the bird reached about 5 meter above the ground, a figure, who previously couldn\'t be seen, jumped down from its back. 

The figure spun in the air before he landed on the ground with a loud boom, blowing sands all over the place. 

When the sand subsided, the figure was seen by those on the battlefield. Theo and the others\' faces turned bright when they saw who the figure was, while the Heavenly Gate people warily watched this new unexpected guest.

With his hands in his pockets, the man\'s demeanor looked carefree, as he nonchalantly turned his back against the insurgents and greeted Theo and the others. The man was Alex, the leader of the Star Army.

.

"Hello, everyone. I hope I\'m not too late. Thank you for waiting." Alex said with a smile while raising his hand.

The abrupt arrival of a man with a huge bird shocked everyone in the area, especially the Heavenly Gate people, made the fighting stops for a moment.

"Who are you?" the skinny guy, who claimed to be the god of thunder, asked.

"I\'m Alex, the leader of those guys there" Alex said, while pointing his finger towards Theo and the others "Who are you?"

The skinny guy said his next words with an extremely haughty attitude. "I\'m Zeus, the thunder god!"

"..."

Alex was so stunned he robotically turned and looked at Theo with a \'WTF\' expression. "Is this guy for real? Why didn\'t you handle this crazy person first?"

Theo clenched his fist at Alex\'s words. "You think I didn\'t want to?!" Sighing heavily, he continued, "There are just too many crazy people here that also makes me crazy. why are you so late?"

"Well, I just finished all my business." Alex said. He then waved his hand. "Never mind about that, what\'s important is that I\'m here now."

The \'thunder god\' and his companions began laughing when they heard Alex\'s words.

"You are here, huh?! What can one person do? Open your eyes and look around you, infidel! You are surrounded by thousands of us."

This was a very precise question and made Theo, Daisy, and the others wondered about Alex\'s plan. There was no way he was coming here without a plan, right?

"Hmm.. That\'s a fair question. Luckily, I\'m blessed with a very smart wife." Alex said with a smile.

Theo was even more confused by what Alex said. Did Devita come too? There was no way, right? Devita was not a fighter. Everyone fell silent as they tried to understand Alex\'s words.

Noticing the confused look on everyone, especially Theo and the others\' faces, Alex clapped his hand and said, "Sorry if It wasn\'t clear. What I mean is my wife is kind enough to pack me some things for my journey."

Alex then proceeded to show one of his hands. Five rings were seen on his hand, five tier 2 storage rings, which have five times the space of the usual storage rings each. At the same time Alex showed his hand, twenty massive figures suddenly appeared in the area and encircled Theo and the others, protecting them. The figures were three meters tall with bodies made of stone. These were tier 2 stone golems Alex had brought for this mission.

"!!!"

The sudden appearance of more than a dozen stone golems shocked the Heavenly Group people. This tier 2 golem might not be as strong as a Sky realm Magus. But of course, things would be different if they were to fight Earth realm troops who used firearms.

Seeing the twenty golems around them, Theo and the others heaved a sigh of relief. With this, they could break the encirclement and even possibly defeat the insurgents.

"Huh?! That thing won\'t be enough to defeat me!" the skinny guy said, while raising his electrical hammer. The other two Sky realm magus, the earth and ice guy, also stepped forward and stood next to him. Seeing that, Ardeth and Rama quickly dashed and stood beside Alex, while Theo decided to defend the backline and prepare to provide support with his flying swords.

The six figures stood opposite each other, eyeing and observing their opponent. The three red-robed magus weren\'t intimidated by Alex, Rama, and Ardeth. In fact, they became more excited with the thought of fighting them.

"Three against three, huh?! We won\'t lose!" the skinny guy shouted.

Upon hearing that, Alex smiled faintly. Still keeping his eye on the three figures across him, Alex opened his mouth. "Can you two step back and watch? I\'d like to fight these three by myself."

Rama and Ardeth were surprised. Moments later, they nodded and then retreated back to the group. The sight of the other two suddenly retreating made the three red-robed magus feel insulted.

"Everyone, kill the infidels!!!" the guys shouted, before the three of them charged forward followed by the insurgents.

Hundreds of insurgents immediately flooded the 20 stone golems and 35 fighters, while the three magus charged towards Alex. The battle suddenly turned into a battle royale.

The brown-skinned guy who claimed to be the god of thunder of two different mythologies casted his best spell, [Thunderbolt - Tier 3 Lightning Spell]. Erratic streams of lightning appeared from his hand, before forming into a crackling ball of lightning. Seeing the spell was done, the skinny guy immediately threw the bolt towards Alex.

Alex immediately knew what kind of spell the Lightning Magus would cast when he saw the familiar lightning pattern. In a blink of an eye, Alex swiftly casted several [Light Missile - Tier 1 Light Spell]. Specks of light materialized, soon condensing into several missile-like constructs. 

*zzztt* *swish*

The two spells, one purple and the other white, rapidly flew through the air towards their targets. Both spells hit each other and caused an explosion. Seeing that neither of the spells was stronger than the other, Alex smiled widely.

Meanwhile, the Ice Magus beside the Lightning Magus didn\'t remain silent. Following the attack, he quickly casted [Ice Bullet - Tier 2 Ice Spell] and hurled it at Alex. Seeing the approaching ice chunks, Alex calmly casted [Shield Barrier - Tier 2 Light Spell] on himself. White translucent barrier quickly enveloped Alex\'s body as it blocked the spell.

The two spells launched by his companion gave an opportunity to the Earth Magus to close the distance between him and Alex. The man dashed towards Alex and stretched his two stone-covered hands, as he tried to catch Alex.

[Hexagram Technique - stage 4]

Mysterious patterns swirled faintly around Alex\'s body, as he activated his hexagram technique. Alex calmly stepped to the side and smoothly moved his body away from the path, dodging the man\'s attempt to grab him. Seeing the Earth Magus passed through him, Alex then drew Strokes from its sheath and swung it.

Splat!

The huge guy stopped in his tracks, his body slowly fell to the ground, split in two. Blood splattered from the wound and dyed the yellow desert with its crimson color. The two magus were shocked when they saw their companion being easily cut in half by Alex\'s single slash. Terror began to sprout in their heart.

Suppressing their feelings, the two of them immediately casted spells again. This time, consecutively.

[Thunderbolt] [Thunderbolt] [Thunderbolt]

[Ice Bullet] [Ice Bullet] [Ice Bullet]

Alex calmly got rid of the blood from his wooden sword by swinging it. Meanwhile, his other arm was still maintaining the [Shield Barrier] spell. The lightning bolts and ice bullets rapidly flew towards him and hit the barrier. The spell flickered continuously, but it appeared that the barrier still stood strong.

Seeing that, Alex couldn\'t help but smile again. "This is the strength of a High stage Sky realm Magus. I never felt it in my previous life." Alex murmured.

It turned out that, after Alex upgraded into the high stage realm, the advancement made all his spells much stronger than he expected. The wave of spells continued for a while, until Alex felt there was nothing else hitting his shield. Seeing the two magus were showing signs of exhaustion, Alex smiled and said, "You\'re done? My turn."

Alex immediately shot towards the two magus. With his new realm and the hexagram technique, Alex\'s speed couldn\'t be followed by the two of them. As he ran towards them, Alex sheathed Strokes and took out his special gun.

BANG!

Loud gunshot echoed through the battlefield, before the Ice Magus\' head exploded leaving a headless corpse. The Lightning Magus was still shocked by the sudden death of his companion, when he realized Alex was already standing beside him with the gun pointed at his head.

"The fight is over."
