Chapter 205: CHAPTER 205 – Alice and Ann’s Breakthrough 2.
*Boom**Boom*
Two loud booms were heard from the gym of Alex's house, and the next second, every particle of mana in the surrounding started to get sucked in, but it happened for less than a second, so nothing happened, and no one noticed.
"All right, take the mana I'm supplying and fill your veins to the brim.
Try not to suck the mana from the surrounding.
Also, tell me to stop once you are done filling your mana veins, I can't focus on all of this at the same time."
Alex spoke as he waved his hand and fortified the mana barrier, he had made around them to stop Alice and Ann from sucking every single mana particle from the surrounding area.
Just one person breaking through Epic rank would be hard for nature to handle, after all, the mana in the air was still only strong enough to support SS-rank gates and maybe SSS-ranked at maximum.
The speed at which an Epic-ranker sucked mana just after forming their mana veins is already the limit of nature, if any more than one, then it won't be able to regenerate the mana in the air. Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|-NovelFire
That could lead to many disastrous outcomes, after all, nowadays, people need mana just as they need oxygen.
So, Alex prevented that situation from coming to pass.
'Wind barrier is not an option.'
Alex knew that the wind barrier would not stop the suction, or maybe it would be sucked in as well as it was made of mana as well, but there was one thing that could stop it.
'Mana barrier.'
A mana barrier is a barrier made by pure mana to protect and safeguard their users.
It is something anyone could make with if they had solid control over their mana, it didn't need one to have a particular elemental affinity.
[It has its disadvantages, but overall, it's a very good skill to learn.]
Sophia commented as she looked at the mana barrier that Alex was fortifying.
A mana barrier is not always the best option, for example: You are facing someone with Fire elemental attacks.
In the case above, a water barrier would be better than a mana barrier.
But let's just say that a mana barrier is like the jack of all trades as it works for everything.
It was one of Sophia's most used skills, even when she was in her prime.
Alex, right now, was focusing on the barrier while diluting his mana and supplying it perfectly to both Alice and Ann.
It was not easy even for Alex, but he kept doing it for a while until it was finally over.
*Crack*
"Ah…"
Alice looked at the floor that had cracked in wonder.
The increase in power was a bit too much, so handling it was harder, that was the reason for the cracking sound.
The cracking sound was made from the floor being caved in by Alice's palm as she was trying to stand up by supporting the ground.
Alice then looked at Alex with an embarrassed smile.
"It's natural to have some difficulty in controlling your strength-"
Alex spoke with a smile as he patted Alice's head, but Alex's words were cut off by the sound of bare feet tapping the floor again and again.
"It's amazing…."
Ann muttered as she did rapid hops on the spot.
She was amazed by the power coursing through her body.
'It's too powerful….'
She felt like she could destroy their house with a flick of her finger.
'No, I can blow the house away with the shockwave created by my movements…'
Ann muttered inwardly, but then she felt two pairs of eyes looking at her.
One pair of eyes were looking at her with pride and the look of appreciation which caused her to smile sweetly.
But the other pair of eyes were looking at her as if she had done something impossible.
'Oh…'
But it didn't take her much time to understand the reason for that. The broken floor was not hidden from her sight, and it was broken with a palm since she could see a palm print.
It was not hard to connect the dots after that.
"Sigh…"
Ann sighed as she saw Alice's eyes looking at her as if she was an alien.
But as always, Alex came in to save the day.
"It's fine, Alice.
Ann is an assassin, her body movement and control are much better tha what you, as a mage, can have, not to mention that I trained her to be able to control her strength better."
Alex patted Alice's head as he looked at Ann.
Alice nodded her head, but she felt a little disappointed in herself.
'I'm nothing special-'
Her inner thoughts were paused when she heard Alex's next line.
"You, on the other hand, are a mage, on that I trained, one that I taught to have much better control over mana than anyone else.
You should be able to control your mana effortlessly just like Ann can control her body, and that is something Ann won't be able to do."
Alex could tell what Alice would think in this situation so he told her what she was good at.
Alice raised her brow as she heard Alex's words and lifted her hand.
She was a bit nervous that she might not be able to control her mana but her eyes widened the next second.
*Fwoosh*
Just as she thought about creating a fire blade, it was in front of her.
But the thing was that it took her less than a millisecond to get that ability activated, whereas before it would take around a second.
This shocked her more than anything.
"See, I told you."
Alex who stood next to her shrugged with a smile.
'Hehehe…'
Alice smiled as she giggled inwardly.
Ann who was standing adjacent to them also smiled.
Then she lifted her hand, trying to conjure a blade but before she could…
"Uh-uh, not here, dear Ann.
We will have you practice and train better when we are in an open area."
Alex shook his head with a smile as he held Ann's write lightly, stopping her from trying to use mana.
Ann looked into Alex's eyes for a while before she spoke.
"I really wanted to do it, but fine…."
Ann sighed as she stopped trying to use her mana.
She knew that she was not the best when it came to controlling mana like Alice, but she wanted to try it once.
However, she also knew that Alex didn't want to take risks inside the house, after all, a small slip could cause a lot of destruction as they were just too powerful right now.
But just then a strange thought came to her mind, something she never thought would be possible, but it still came.
'If we have perfect control over our powers, will be able to defeat him….?'
Ann could feel that she was much stronger than before, and she also knew that she could do some new things with her power, so she hoped that maybe she could defeat Alex if she worked together with Alice.
Now what would the result be?
Only time will tell.
