Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"What are you guys making that kind of face for?"

Alex asked with a chuckle as he turned back.

Alice, Ann, and Noctura who saw his face that didn't even have a single scratch were dumbfounded.

"Wha…." X3

No words came out of their mouths.

"Hm? What? You thought that a punch like that would hurt me?

Meh, it was just average, I could take punches like that all day long…"

Alex spoke as he shrugged casually.

His words were not low and Makrum who had his eyes focused on Alex could hear those words clearly, but he didn't show any reaction.

He could do nothing but wait.

His last plan might have failed, but that didn't mean that the same would happen again.

This time he was not depending on anyone, nor did he need someone's help in doing it.

It was all him this time.

Alice, Ann, and Noctura just stared dumbly at Alex.

They knew for sure that Alex was hit by that punch, and they knew that there was no way Alex could remain unscathed after taking a fully powered punch from the boss monster without even having a scratch.

That too, when he had his stats lowered so that equals Makrum.

'Then how….?'

They didn't know about his regeneration skills as Alex never found the right moment to tell them.

Even right now was not the right moment as they were going to be surrounded by the Aquathrens soon enough.

Alex then looked at Noctura who had her head lowered and smiled gently before he crouched in front of her and held her cheeks.

"Pup, look at me."

Alex spoke in a soft and low voice.

Noctura slowly looked up into Alex's eyes.

"It was not your fault."

Alex added with a stern yet gentle voice.

"But…"

Noctura tried to protest but Alex shook his head.

"No buts pup, it was my fault that I felt for that trap," Alex spoke as he looked into Noctura's eyes.

"And you know what?" Alex questioned with a smile.

Noctura looked at Alex, curious about what Alex was going to say next.

Alex smiled as he saw the curiosity in Noctura's eyes so he continued.

"I would do the same again, even if I know that it is a trap."

Alex spoke as he ruffled her head.

Noctura just started at Alex with eyes filled with various emotions, but she didn't say anything, or better to say that she couldn't say anything.

She knew that she would do the same, so she couldn't say anything to Alex who was saying that he would do it.

Alice and Ann just listened to Alex's words speechlessly.

They knew he would say something like that, but they still felt a bit speechless.

In the end, however, they just shook their heads and sighed.

Alex looked into Noctura's eyes and he could tell that she was not blaming herself anymore so he nodded his head with a smile and spoke.

"You should take care of the remaining ones now."

Alex patted Noctura one last time as he gestured toward the wave of Aquathrens swimming in their direction.

"Grrrr."

Noctura looked back at the coming Aquathrens and growled before she rushed at them.

Alex then looked at Alice and Ann, he walked in front of them.

He lifted his hand as he placed them on both their cheeks gently.

"Sorry for worrying you guys, but as you can see, I'm fine, so you guys can go back and enjoy the show."

Alice and Ann held Alex's hand on their cheeks as they smiled looking at his face before they nodded their heads.

"Un." X2

They moved back but before they went back to their seats, Alex's voice was heard again.

"I will tell you what happened, later, don't worry."

Alice and Ann just smiled as they nodded their heads without looking back before they zoomed back to their spots.

"Now…"

Alex smiled when he saw that before he looked at the 100s of Aquathrens that were now encircling him.

"Let's take care of you guys."

Alex muttered as he cracked his fingers.

The Aquathrens, however, didn't care about anything, they just rushed at Alex with only one intention and that was to kill.

.............................................…..

Makrum looked at Alex who was now killing Aquathrens like nothing happened then he looked at his balled-up fists.

'I'm sure I hit him…'

Makrum was still unable to believe how Alex could remain unscathed even after taking that punch.

But then he looked at the dead body that came floating close to his feet.

'Fuck off!'

Makrum kicked the body away in anger.

It was the body of the late mid-boss rank Aquathren, the one that got killed in a single shot by Alex, and the same one that only got the screentime because he shitted his pants.

'Couldn't even do one thing perfectly.

I just gave you two things to do.

Two things!!

Was that too much for you to be able to do?!'

The plan that Makrum had made before was to let the mid-boss Aquathren pull Alex down in the water after he delivered a fully powered punch on Alex's cheek.

Makrum had thought that he could knock Alex out or maybe stun him for a second or two.

Using that short interval, Makrum was going to attack Noctura, and when the mid-boss Aquathren had pulled Alex deep enough for Alex to take some time to get up to the surface, he was supposed to lend him a hand in killing Noctura.

Yes, killing Noctura.

That was his plan.

But…

'That bastard ruined it all!'

He looked back at the corpse of the mid-boss Aquathren and cursed him inwardly.

'I won't fail this time.'

'I know I'm going to die, but I will take at least one of your hands with me…'

Makrum was someone who knew the power of an Epic-ranker, so he knew better than anyone here how strong Alex might be.

He also knew that no matter what he did, he would never be able to kill Alex.

That was why he was targeting Noctura in the first place, but now he knew that was not possible.

He had seen Noctura fight and he knew that she was strong enough to handle him alone, so he needed at least one more SS-ranker if he wanted to kill her.

But that was not possible anymore.

'Fuck!'

He cursed again as his eyes inadvertently looked at the mid-boss Aquathren's corpse.

He blamed the dead guy again and again, but what he didn't know was that his plan was never going to succeed even if the guy was alive.

Alice and Ann were right there beside Noctura, even if by off chance he was able to corner Noctura, which was almost impossible.

Noctura was not weak, after all.

However, Makrum was never going to know that.

As he was thinking of this and that, Makrum saw Alex dashing toward him, and when he looked behind Alex, his eyes almost popped out of the sockets.
