The crowd was silent, until now they still didn''t understand what truly happened. Some decided to wait and see.


    Finally, someone in the crowd couldn''t take it anymore therefore he asked.


    "What just happened? I don''t understand.''''


    ''''Dunno, Alex vanished with a poof and with a bang! the two men at the rear were struck. It''s all I saw.'''' another one exined.


    ''''He used some strange movement skill. I had never seen nor heard of it. What unusual skill. Truth be told even I, I''m envious. it''s a wonderful skill. Used wisely you can catch your opponent off guard like he did and flew when things became bad. Sigh! The world is sure big.'''' An Old Adventurer exined, he is a famous Adventurer, one of three B Rank Adventurer present in this town. Gale surnamed ''Gale de''.


    The crowd finally understood that Alex had used a movement skill. Turning their heads they saw Diaz whoseplexion wasn''t looking good. He was silent as his face turned blue.


    Truth be told Diaz was afraid, truly afraid, he regretted his earlier decision. He knew that he has been impulsive, thinking about it now there was no way that a guy who killed thirty goblins and a rare species would be weak, he must have some skills. Diaz was sure that he and his group would not be able to aplish the same feat. Yet, driven by envy and especially jealousy, he challenged the man who aplished this feat. After witnessing how easily Alex had dispatched his men Diaz was not sure if he could win.


    Shaking his head he exchanged a nce with Bolt before facing Alex.


    A murderous glint entered Diaz''s eyes as he dashed forward shing at Alex from a tricky angle.


    Having known that Diaz''s attack was just a decoy, Alex nimbly jumped back to narrowly avoid Bolt sh. Bolt was positioned behind Diaz ready to attack after thetter performs his fake attacks. Judging by how naturally the two had performed this move, it must not be the first time they used it. Unfortunately, Alex was aware that Bolt was hiding behind Diaz ready to strike him after the former attacked. Thanks to his Divine sense''s skill Alex was able to know it.


    The two were surprised by Alex avoiding theirbo, not giving them the time to ponder on how he knew it, Alex kicked the ground and with a swift sound, he appeared before Diaz shing at thetter with his dual knives (Razor in his right hand while ck Betties one of his throwing knives in his left hand).


    nks! nks!


    Diaz blocked the blows using the hand of his ax.


    Alex retreated before Boltes attacking. Grinning Alexunched three throwing knives in quick session at Bolt whose sword was raised (He raised previously with the intent of shing at Alex when he was busy shing against Diaz.)


    Seeing the iing knives even though he was surprised by how quick they were Bolt smirked and brought down his two-handed sword deflecting the first knife, with a hah sound he deflected the second. Then he grinned however his grin turned into horror when he saw a third knifeing straight toward his shoulder, something he wasn''t expecting.


    It was at that time he heard Diazte warning


    ''''Careful Bolt, there''s a third knife.''''


    It was already toote for him to avoid it, he tried to shift his shoulder from the trajectory of the knife unfortunately the knife was faster. The third knife embedded itself into his left shoulder, slightly above his armpit. Because Bolt was not wearing any chainmail under his Armor, the knife easily pierced him.


    ''''Gah!" Bolt grunted in pain, his left arm was disabled, his longsword struck the ground because he couldn''t hold it anymore.


    As if waiting for that oue Alex with an insane speed tried to finish the injured Bolt.


    Diaz''s eyes turned cold and he roared ''''As if I''ll let you.''''


    [Wind sh]


    Immediately a vertical Wind de was created and sent in Alex''s direction forcing him to stop his attack.


    However, Alex didn''t seem disappointed for being interrupted instead he grinned evilly as if he was waiting for Diaz to respond as he did.


    When Diaz saw how Alex was grinning even when he stopped him from finishing Bolt, he was suddenly assaulted by a dreadful feeling as if he had fallen into Alex''s trap.


    ''''Fuck, I''m in a deep shit.'''' Diaz cussed.


    ''''Indeed you are.''''


    Alex who should be far away appeared behind him and said, he seemed that he had used his strange movement skill again. Diaz spun and swung his ax down without looking at whether Alex was near him or not.


    Unfortunately, Alex was not directly behind him, smirking Alex threw two knives at Diaz at an extremely fast speed, Diaz hastily brought his ax and used it to block the two knives aimed at his eyes and shoulder.


    However, he had forgotten that Alex still has one throwing knife, the one he used to sh at him earlier. Using thisst knife Alex hurled it toward Diaz''s right thigh.


    Busy dealing with the two knives thrown at him, Diaz did not see the third knifeing, he became aware of it after being pierced by it.


    An intense pain assaulted him, thest ck Betties was deeply embedded in Diaz''s right thigh, the right side of his gray pant was drenched in blood in a matter of seconds.


    Diaz distanced himself from Alex, he then ascertained the state of his injured leg as he regained his breathing trying to endure the intense pain he was feeling.


    ''''Well, are you gonna give now?" Alex asked mockingly.


    ''''Shut uppp!"


    Towards Alex''s provocation, Diaz attacked again even though he was injured and limping.


    The battle-ax was swung down with a cry. As Alex saw it, he moved diagonally. In other words, he moved beside Diaz, and with the blunt side of his knife, he struck Diaz''s hands.


    ''''Gah'''' Grunting in pain Diaz dropped his ax, still, he punched at Alex shortly after, the blow was easily evaded. Seeing no need to continue this fight any longer, Alex punched Diaz in the face, breaking his nose, followed by a kick in the stomach.


    With crushed ribs, Diaz was blown away and mmed into the wall of the Adventurers Guild.


    The attacks were carried out in a blink of an eye, Diaz fainted due to the pain, he fell face-first against the ground.


    Alex spun and nced at Bolt who was using his two-handed sword as support, he didn''t remove the knife from his shoulder, probably because he didn''t want to lose too much blood.


    Green eyes shed against brown eyes, Bolt heaved a sigh before announcing, ''''I surrender.''''


    Bolt''s voice was filled with exhaustion, he knew that he was not Alex match even without injuries and now that he was disabled, better surrender than continue fighting which would mean more injuries, Diaz their leader was beaten, he was now lying unconscious on the ground. So, Bolt judged that it would be wiser to surrender.


    With Bolt surrendering, this fightes to an end, Alex was the final winner. Face full of smiles and eyes filled with anticipation Alex started to walk towards his spoils.
