DEVIANT

212 Chapter 212: Alex Briggs returns

Alex couldn’t help but wonder about the size of the terrifying force coming their way. If mere Viscount beasts were as big as his seed, how huge and powerful will this beast be? Pondering on this, Alex stood at the shoulder of Damnation and watched. The students followed his orders and everyone including the remaining eleven descendants of the elders stayed behind the perimeter barrier as well.

They all stood and watched skeptically as they wondered why Alex would give out such strange orders but right now it didn’t matter. Subconsciously, these people obeyed his orders without question because of their complete faith in him.

Two to three minutes passed and they were yet to see anything. Instructor Kaz was a few minutes away from finishing when something appeared from the mist

It was a massive figure which looked like it was swimming toward them. Its bloody were hundreds of meters long while its head resembled that of a king cobra. The massive figure reminded Alex of the pyramid ship which he explored back on earth. If a beast can be mutated to this level it simply means this world had terrifying beasts even before the mutation!

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, Alex jumped into the cockpit again. His face had regained color after resting for a few minutes. Even then it probably won’t be enough to do much. If he had his powers, he may not even need this seed to win his battles.

“Let us see how long I can go!” Alex said as Damnation’s eyes lit up and he shot into the air like a rocket, racing towards the massive beast above!

[Earl level purgatory snake spotted]

Seeing this message, Alex couldn’t help but remember the purgatory snake back on earth, when he found the Danites and little beast. That purgatory snake gives him a really tough time. But it’s sad when he compares that beast to this one above. They both bear the same name but their strengths are literally worlds apart!

.....

He finally realized why humans are weak and their SS rated Herod is barely equivalent to Baron-ranked energy revolvers. The difference in environment is clear!

Roar!

The purgatory snake suddenly let out a fierce roar which sent powerful shockwaves coming his way!. Damnation was quickly knocked off the air and students watched Alex struggle for control over his seed. Who would have thought a mere furious scream from an earl level mutant beast can put him in this condition!

Damnation soon regained control over its body before it hit the ground. Within the Damnation, Alex spat out a mouthful of blood as his body shivered. His eyes were weak and fragile while his body shivered uncontrollably.

[You have been badly hurt, retreat!]

[Damnation has sustained substantial damage, retreat]

“Hehehe... Damnation, do you hear that? The voice in my head seems worried about us... isn’t that nice?” Alex laughed like a crazy man ask Damnation took a fighting stance in mid-air, gazing at the incoming purgatory snake, all Its strength was going towards the right fist which glowed brightly like a touch!

“COME, LET ME SHOW YOU THE FULL EXTENT OF MY STRENGTH!” Alex bellowed at the top of his voice stunning many

Damnation’s chest was caved in and these people knew how seeds work. They all knew Jarlic Gale has been injured badly yet he still stood between the beast and them. It is said that only in the face of death do you know the true nature of a man.

Some will bend their knees and beg while some will try to flee as much as possible. Others will stand still, stunned by the realization of the possibility of death. They just stand there and watch as death claims them but then there is a handful who fight back. Moments before their death, they put the pump of adrenaline to good use! They push forward and fight with more than 100% of their strength!

Roar!

The approaching purgatory snake cried out again as the shock waves raced towards Alex and Damnation only to meet their fist!

Boom!

A fierce shockwave erupted between the two, spreading fiercely! So much that even those a few hundred meters behind them could feel it!

Arrrrggggh!

Alex let out a painful scream as Damnation’s arm was crushed under the force of the enemy, throwing him a few meters back!

[Damnation’s energy core damaged; self destruction imminent!]

Notifications rang in Alex’s head but the crazed look remained!

“Transfer power to thrusters! We are going in for one last ride, boy!” Alex laughed.

Bang!

Damnation’s thrusters lit up as it shot towards the purgatory snake, glowing fiercely! Students seeing this couldn’t help but draw their breaths and hold it in as, Damnation shot forward at a lightning-fast speed, stroking the head of the serpent!

Bang!

Damnation latched on to it and it’s golden whips emerged piercing into the skin of the massive enemy while a tiny figure could be seen ejected out!

Explode!

Booom!

A fierce explosion followed and the purgatory snake let out a painful cry as it jerked back, meanwhile, Alex who was on his parachute was thrown back hundreds of meters away. He fell off the chair which he was at on and rolled on the ground a couple of times.

Huff!

At this point everything was hazy and even his beating heart could be heard. His eyes narrowed as he struggled to get back on his feet, while he felt a warm liquid flowing out of his skull and running all over his face.

He felt his blood roll down his lips and slowly opened his lips and used his tongue to get a good taste of it. A grin bloomed on his face as the world around him vanished and the only thing he could see was the massive purgatory snake approaching. The smile on his face widened as his fists tightened and he took a deep breath and the rumbling sound began!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

“In the face of death does one’s true potential show”

Alex couldn’t help but remember Wilder Briggs’s words to him when he was far younger. With the rumbling sound erupting from his body like a violent volcano, Alex realized he had unlocked the second form of the Demon-kin secret technique just at his last moments. He slowly accumulated breaths as the massive figure approached. Soon his erupting heart beats was so loud everyone could hear it.

His eyes were as bright as stars while he felt rejuvenated! Each breath allowed him to inhale the raw energy of this world and store it for one final punch!

His body began glowing brightly as the marking all over his body lit up, far fiercer than ever! He was just a few breaths away from the imminent clash and a picture of three people flashed across his eyes!

Silver, Danny, and Tracy!

“I don’t plan on dying today!” Alex growled furiously as he shot into the sky with his fists thrown forward!

The image of Jaric Gale shooting into the sky fearlessly when facing an Earl class beast was inspirational and terrifying but the outcome was certain. It is already a lot that he is able to fight Viscount level mutant beast but going on against an Earl level beast really takes the cake.

Unknown to Alex their behind him had recorded his actions in their minds. They had no animosity directed at him, instead, they all felt admiration towards this youth who was a short-lived hero but a well recognized one!

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

Alex’s eyes slowly opened as he saw himself in a cylindrical shape glass shell filled with green liquid. He had a face mask on when he looked he didn’t have his hands again but he wasn’t surprised. He already guessed this weak body won’t be able to release all that accumulated power all at once without getting hurt.

Through the glass, he could see Jaric Gale and someone other people his age, working on something. He would have loved to know more but his vision blurred as he passed out again!

More messages rang in his mind as he rested in the peaceful darkness of his mind. Seeing the notification within the darkness, Alex frowned. He wasn’t sure why he was getting notifications and he wondered if all Estos had something like this.

Before he would have loved to talk about it with Jalic Gale but he always forgot. He tried to remember this as soon as he woke up.

Woosh!

Alex sat up abruptly with a frown but the first thing he saw was a mirror in front of him. His eyes widened in shock as he raised his hands and touched his face once again. For the first time in a while, he felt mixed emotions as he realized he has been given back his old face!
