Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Alex couldn\'t see her face, but he could see her blush covering her ear and reaching her neck.

It was not hard for him to tell what she wanted.

\'How would I call myself a man if I back down now?\'

Alex had been holding back from the moment they kissed.

He didn\'t want to force Alice into doing something she didn\'t want to, and it was not like they didn\'t have time.

They had all the time in the world, so Alex was willing to wait, but how would he have known that Alice was holding back for a long time?

Alice started having feelings for Alex a month or two ago.

Before it was just liking or maybe friendly love, but it changed as she continued to live with him.

She, who felt his care, his gentleness, his love, and his warmth, started wanting more of those things.

She wanted more of Alex\'s care, love, warmth, and everything about him, but she knew it was not possible, not until she took a step forward.

Some people might say that what Alice had for Alex was not love, but that is what love is.

You give your love to someone, and you expect love in return.

Now, Alice finally had the chance to take a step forward and she wasn\'t going to miss it.

\'I don\'t want to wait anymore,\' Alice muttered inwardly as she hid her face from Alex\'s view.

Although she took the first step, she was still shy, and embarrassed.

"Are you sure, Alice?" Alex asked.

He was not like those dense protagonists who didn\'t understand anything or even if they did, they would start blushing and all, so he asked directly.

Alice didn\'t say anything, she just nodded her head lightly while still having it buried in his chest.

"If that\'s what you want," Alex spoke as he descended down to the entrance of the Lotel with their disguise on.

Alice who heard Alex\'s words and felt the landing on the ground and moving in the Lotel had her heartbeats raised.

\'I\'m finally going to be one with him….\'

Alice smiled inwardly.

How could she have known that Alex was not just a monster in terms of power, he was a monster below there, and on the bed, as well?

She did realize it later, but it was already too late, and she was already getting addicted to it….

............

(On an unknown island deep in the ocean)

*Fwoosh*

A stream of flame was blasted toward Alex that he avoided hurriedly by jumping to the side.

Then Alex looked toward the source of the flame and saw a girl standing with a red sword in her hands.

Her expression was as serious as it could be as her red hair was flowing freely on her back.

Her red eyes were locked on Alex, following his every movement.

Her eyes sharpened as she saw Alex\'s move and then with a wave of her hand, a fire pillar emerged from the ground.

Alex who saw all this just willed and a pillar made of rock shot out from the ground.

That pillar, of course, broke as it came in contact with Alice\'s flame, but it did what it was supposed to do.

It gave Alex a footing to change his trajectory.

The one shooting flame throwers at Alex was Alice, and right now, she, just like everyone, had her power suppressed to SS-rank.

Alice had made the fire pillar right on the spot Alex was supposed to land, aiming to take down Alex.

\'She is doing much better than before,\' Alex observed Alice.

He could see her that contained patience and cone cunning in them, unlike before when she would just attack randomly.

But just as Alex jumped back, he saw Alice smile.

But her smile was not the normal smile she had; it was a smug smile.

\'We got you now.\'

Alice muttered inwardly.

\'Why do you think I wasted so much of my mana to cover the surroundings with fire?\'

Alice didn\'t ask out loud, she just stood there as she folded her hands in front of her breasts.

Alex who saw this, had a glint pass through his eyes.

Right now, Alex had his powers suppressed, but that was not all as he added some more suppressions.

He made it so that his perception range would be 5 meters around him max, after all, he would never be defeated without it.

5 meters, however, were nothing for SS-rank raiders, it wouldn\'t even take them a millisecond to cover that distance.

Alex knew that although he was strong, he had his powers suppressed right now, and he could lose any time.

Alex was still in mid-air because of the jump he had with the support of the rock pillar, so he looked around, but he couldn\'t see anything as the flames in the surroundings covered his vision.

\'Not good….\' Just then, Alex heard the sound of wind cutting.

He could tell that something or someone was moving toward him at a very fast speed.

But the flames in the surroundings were obstructing his vision.

\'I can defend against whatever it is, but it will be hard to come out without even a scratch…\'

Alex muttered inwardly as he shook his head.

............…

"If you guys can even scratch my clothes or body, you will be considered the victor."

This was the condition for Alice, Ann, and Noctura to get a win against Alex.

However, Alex didn\'t see that out of arrogance or something, rather he was forced to say that.

"We can never win against you, give us something easier to do."

Ann had spoken earlier, even before they started the training.

Alex always used to say, \'Try defeating me\' before they started the training, and that was not something Alice, Ann, or even Noctura had any hope of being able to achieve.

They knew they were strong, very strong to be exact, but they knew their limits.

"Why do you think you can never win?" Alex asked with his brows raised.

"You are a monster."

Alice\'s answer was direct with a grudge filled in her voice.

Alice was not just referring to Alex\'s batter power, and Alex knew that as well, so he just scratched the back of his head.

Ann who was with them also knew what Alice meant, she was no child, after all.

"All right then, I\'ll make it easier for you guys."

That was when Alex had to make some changes to their winning condition.

Right now, he was stuck mid-air as he recalled the condition for the win.

\'Guess I will have to use that….\'

Alex muttered inwardly as he looked at his hands.

(All of this had happened within seconds, that is how fast the speed of battle between strong raiders is.)
