396 Chapter 395:Fighting Against Mythic Rank
Alex rolled and turned his body to the side to avoid the attack but Hunter crashed into the ground beside him with huge momentum.
BANG!
The ground collapsed and the shock wave sent him flying.
Alex activated all the buffs in his arsenal at once while stabilising himself.
He used all 30 stat points, of which he put 10 in Agility, 9 in magic and 11 in strength.
Alex got up on his feet after sliding against the ground for a distance.
Only when he stood, did he see Hunter already appearing before him throwing a punch at him.
Alex crossed his arms and braced for the impact.
BANG!
The force of coercion sent Alex back but unlike the previous time, he wasn’t sent flying.
Much to Hunter’s surprise, Alex was pushed away by 15 metres.
After Alex’s body halted below him were dark drag marks as he tried to stand deeply rooted on the ground.
“I am genuinely surprised.”
“You were able to take on the blow without much damage, “Hunter said with a weird gaze.
“Your body seems to be quite tough.”
Hunter felt as if he hit a sturdy metal instead of a human.
Alex raised his brows and as he put down his hand, he realised that the place where his bones were hit was broken and he wasn’t able to set it in the correct position before which his blessings healed him which developed a sharp tearing end of the bone piercing his skin.
Seeing Alex being a tough nut to crack, Hunter pulled out a hammer from his storage ring.
Since all his men are safe, Alex’s fears became a bit less and he took out his sword.
With his stat, he can fight a peak Legendary rank equally but against an experienced Mythic rank, he wasn’t sure.
It would already be good enough if can protect himself but he didn’t want to be one to stay on the defensive ends.
Alex pulled out his sword from his storage ring and immediately closed the distance while Hunter’s right hand pulled the huge hammer back.
However, before his right hand moved towards Alex.
Alex quickly noticed the left hand and slashed toward it.
However, just before the sword cut Hunter’s arm, Alex felt a feeling of terror as he noticed all the muscles on Hunter’s body were tensed.
The right side of his body was twisted with a bending form and he was drawing out the power.
Alex quickly realised what was going to happen if he kept on pressing, he quickly halted his movements and retreated as quickly as possible.
“Too late!”Hunter muttered and swung the huge hammerhead.
BOOM!
CRASH!
A deafening roar sounded and the ground cracked as strong pressure was shot, Alex was hit by it and he was blasted towards the side.
Alex groaned and slashed his sword while he received the brunt.
Hunter just raised his hammer to block it. He wasn’t even pushed back by the attack.
Hunter then moved and unleashed a strike of the huge hammer.
Alex felt an aura of destruction approaching him. It was too strong that Alex sensed that if he was hit then he would be screwed.
It was quite dangerous and till now Alex only felt this type of danger when he had fought two years ago.
But at the same time, it felt a bit different, cause he had also grown.
BANG!
Hunter’s eyes widened as he noticed something unbelievable.
Alex tilted his back and while his hands touched the ground, his feet hit the underside of the hammer to propel his body out of the radius of the attack.
The sound of cracking bones was heard but after channelling all his strength, Alex was able to divert the trajectory of the hammer.
The bones in Alex’s feet cracked but healed instantly and Alex pushed his hand to propel himself towards Hunter.
The hammer was very heavy and each arc extended quite a bit which delays the recovery of the weapons.
Alex slashed at the extended arm which held the weapon. As long as he could get rid of it, the pressure on him would be decreased greatly.
Alex with a full swing slashed his sword but Hunter let go of the hammer in the right arm which moved back in the circle and caught it in the left arm and used the momentum of the hammer to spin it immediately and put the head of the hammer in the way.
TANG!
The ground underneath cracked and a strong shockwave spread around them. Hunter for a moment has to use all his strength to stop himself from getting pushed back.
CLANG!
Emitting a metallic spark both of them separated.
Although the other side only defended his attack Alex felt as if he slashed at a bell which transferred all the momentum to him and made his hand tremble and became numb.
When Hunter noticed Alex stopping his attack, he followed the swing of the hammer and put more power into it, pulling it again to attack Alex.
BANG!
Alex kicked the side of the hammer again breaking his bones. His injuries were generated rather quickly.
His bones were healing as soon as they were broken and crushed. And in that process, they also became studier and firm, strengthening his internals.
BANG!BANG!BANG!
Hunter increased his speed and Alex similarly dodged the strikes.
The hammer landed on the ground beside him, shaking the whole place.
Alex’s mind was running wild.
He was mostly relying on his instinct to react now but that should be the last thing a warrior should do as it means that one was in a severely disadvantaged situation.
‘I am only able to deflect the attack because it’s a hammer but if he brings out another weapon I will be in trouble. His entire fighting style counterattacks weapons. If I had more strength, I could clash with an axe or greatsword and disarm him.’
Alex went into suicidal mode and tried to deflect the hammer at the expense of breaking his bones and trying to attack him at the follow-up but being an experienced fighter Hunter was able to rotate his hammer using the momentum of recurve and hit back Alex.
