282 Chapter 282:Alex Vs Creatures Of Dark
The creature gave Alex a toothy grin, but its teeth were black and misshapes added more ugliness to it.
Its appearance loomed over a person like a mountain dashing all hopes to escape and giving them an inkling feeling that they are going to be doomed.
Alex didn’t let his ego get over his head and tried to tread towards them carefully.
He raised his sword in one hand while whipping out his other arm after casting a spell and sending miniature lightning.
The creature suddenly darted out of the darkness dodging the bolt, and it rammed into Alex.
Its long tongue shot like a whip which almost caught Alex unaware.
Alex lifted his feet and the tongue smashed the ground drilling a hole in it. The tip of the tongue was as sharp as a dagger that could be used as a weapon.
The other one tried to ambush Alex from a different side and tried to topple him.
The creature came out of nowhere filled with blood and craziness while struggling to pin down Alex.
But Alex escaped its grip and sent him flying with a kick.
The creature fell with a thud after slamming against the wall of the cave.
Seeing his mate injured, angered the other creature greatly and it pounced on Alex. Its claws were outstretched and flesh on them flew everywhere as the creature tried to tear Alex apart.
CLANG!
Alex struck the claws heavily which caused the creature to erupt in a painful wail.
One of the claws on its hand was split and blackish-greenish slimy liquid oozed out from it
Alex imbued his sword with light elemental magic and sacred blessings.
Both of the creatures backed away seeing the light and ran back into the cave filled with darkness.
Alex used his mana sensor to find that the entire cave was malty except Hurt going deep inside the cave
Alex ran after them and entered the dark cave.
Two short moments later, Alex grunted as he felt something on his tail.
He reacted first and evaded another whip-like substance and saw an elongated blackish tentacle glistening in the air.
Alex, who was already near the entrance of the cave, saw so many human carcasses riddled with holes piled at the side which stunned him.
Meanwhile, the tentacles whipped and shot out towards Alex and almost tore a hole over his shoulder.
Alex swung his sword up in an attempt to slice the tentacle but it whooped back into the darkness.
Alex’s eyes narrowed and he spun his body to avoid three tentacles and rotated his wrist to thrust his sword.
The sword cut through the tentacles which fell on the ground but dissipated shortly thereafter.
“Hmm! So, it’s made of dark elements.” Alex murmured.
Alex needs to use light elements to destroy the darkness around him but doing so may cause this creature to scream in agony hurting his ears.
“That dimwit, what’s taking him so long or did he encounter some trouble,” Alex muttered.
While sidestepping and dancing in the dark to avoid the creature’s attack, he activated the mana sensor map to find his location.
As Alex rolled his eyes, he frowned to see no dot with Hurt’s name.
Alex’s eyes twitched. In just a few moments, he was searching inside and now he was gone just like this.
“Did he die just like this? That bastard only knew how to throw big.”
Alex gritted his teeth and offered silent prayer in the name of Hurt.
Alex glanced around to see the creatures hiding in the dark and decided to pull them out.
Alex located them and holding a sword of light, waited to throw them in that direction.
Alex noticed a flicker of shadow as they jumped out from the darkness that loomed in the cave.
Alex was waiting for that exact moment, his body blurred and before the flickering shadow could reside something pierced him.
Swish!..
Its body was dragged towards the wall and it was pinned on it with a sword of light on the wall.
It screamed in despair as its body started to burn.
Alex walked towards it and when it was inches away from the creature nailed to the wall, the other ghostly creature dropped from the top with a gust of gale swept past him as it fell.
The creature’s face was filled with lumps and mosses that came into his view and disgusted him again.
The lumpy creature shot out towards Alex and the moment it took the first step, it slammed into an invisible wall fiercely. Its body trembled due to the rebound for a moment and fell on its back.
Alex took the chance of the opening, he pushed a spell forward and a stream of fire erupted from his palm, expanding out into a cone and flames surrounded the creature.
Alex applied a sound barrier so that the sound of its despair might not travel deeper.
Tortured by the pain of fire, the creature let out a shrill scream and raised its gnarly arms and its body and tried to break past the magical barrier before Alex.
Alex himself dispersed the barrier and stood before the creature with a wide grin. What awaited the creature was a barrage of slashes.
The sword cut through the creature without any mercy, drawing arcs across the body. The weapon glitter cruelly as its left cut on its body slowly whittling its life down with every cut.
After cutting apart the creature, it fell helplessly as its limbs and arms were cut off and what was before him was a limbless creature squirming and hanging on life by a thread.
Alex snapped his finger and a bright light fell and wiped off the creature’s existence entirely.
Alex raised his chin to take a look at the creature haggling and wriggling on the wall like a worm and waved his hand.
A beam of light shot towards it and ended its life.
Alex stared at two notifications that flashed before his eyes.
