Heterochromia eyes shed with light red eyes.


    ''''Shall we begin?''''??


    The big man nodded his head before introducing himself.


    ''''I''m Byron. Remember, this is the name of the man that is going to crush your head.''''


    After his introduction, Byron dashed toward Alex at astonishing speed; he threw a punch straight toward Alex''s face.


    Alex sidestepped to the right to avoid Byron''s punch; he counterattacked with a leg kick.


    Byron was forced to retreat; Alex attacked him by shooting normal bullets at him; however, Byron was able to deflect the bullets using the blunt surface of his red gauntlets.


    [ming God''s Fist!]


    At the same time that Byron shouted the name of his skill, a gigantic fist made of fire was shoot toward Alex; the speed of this ming fist wasn''t less than that of his normal bullet.


    Alex didn''t panic; he aimed Silveria at the iing fist and fired a Dispel bullet at the ming fist to reduce its attack power before finishing it with a Water bullet. [A/N: He acquired these bullets when exploring dungeons after killing some rare species of Water monkey.]


    Alex knew that Byron''s ming God''s Fist was just an illusion to keep him upied. As expected, when Alex was dealing with the ming God''s fist, Byron disappeared to reappear, twelve meters away from Alex''s back; his eyes were vicious; in this attack, if Alex did not die, at least, he would be half dead. It was what Byron believes.


    [God''s Fury!]


    More than fifty mes red punches were sent toward Alex. As if he was waiting for this, Alex spun around and faced the iing fists; Byron was surprised by this sudden action; his surprise didn''t end there because suddenly, Alex''s right eye glowed, this sent chill running down Byron''s spine, he momentarily paused. By the time hees back to himself, Alex was shouting.


    [Erase]


    BANG!


    Byron got the scare of his life; under his astonished eyes, his God''s Fury disappeared after Alex''s bullet struck the core zone of God''s Fury skill, the small red fist mixed among the other fists. Alex had used his right eye to locate where the God''s Fury was more vulnerable, to put the skill weakness.


    ''''Monster!"


    It was the only word that came out from Byron''s mouth after seeing that Alex could erase skill.


    ''''Thank you."


    Alex had shed next to Byron and said before clenching his fists together.


    ''''Deluge of Normal punches!"


    It was Alex''s turn to send more than twenty punches.


    Even though he was surprised by what Alex could do, Byron was still a Rank 10; he reacted faster to Alex''s punches, he crossed his arms to protect his head.


    Bang! Bang!!!


    Byron was pushed back, Alex''s punches, although not powerful as his punch when he wore his Gift, Byron was still hurt.


    Feeling an extreme danger, Byron punched the air in front of him; ming red shield was created. The reason why Byron did this was because he thought maybe Alex was using his strange Gift on him.


    [Shadow Shift]


    Alex used Shadow shift on Byron, and at the same time, he aimed Silveria toward his previous location.


    [Phantom Bullet]


    Byron couldn''t defend in time; his right leg was blown away.


    ''''Gaha!"


    Byron hadn''t finished crying of pain before the next attack was already upon him. He could not see the iing bullet; he just relied on his instinct to avoid a fatal strike; even so, a hole of the size of an adult thumb appeared on Byron''s right shoulder.


    Possessing only one leg, Byron couldn''t keep standing any longer, so he fell to the ground.


    Alex appeared above Byron with his leg raised high; if this kick were to connect, Byron couldn''t say for sure if he wouldn''t be knocked out, so even while fighting against the intense pain, he rolled to the opposite side to dodge Alex''s kick.


    Alex was surprised that the half-crippled man could still move at this stage.


    At the same time, Byron recalled thest conversation with their mysterious backer; thetter had suggested that he must take their god''s blessing (a ck silkworm). Byron knows what would happen if he takes that thing; it was the same thing they used to experiment on the boys; it was a failure. Truth be told, he didn''t wish to take this ck silkworm; however, he didn''t really have the choice; if he doesn''t, he will die, so, Byron took a gamble, he brought the ck silkworm from his storage ring and swallowed it, everything happened in an instant, Alex didn''t even notice anything.


    The moment Byron swallowed that ck silkworm, his heart stopped momentarily beating before it started beating again, this time much louder, louder enough for Alex, who was preparing to deal with Byron heard it.


    Ba-dump! Ba-dump!!


    Silveria was the first to notice the abnormally; therefore, she shouted to warn her Master.


    〖No good master, kill him before he can transform.〗


    Byron had started to transform; his skin started turning dark, numerous blood vessels appeared all over his body; they were wiggling like worms.


    Alex didn''t hesitate for a second; he aimed Silveria toward the man''s head and fired a Phantom bullet; however, something astonishing happened; the transforming Byron caught the invisible bullet within his fingers for a moment before tossing it aside.


    ''''No way!" Alex eximed aloud; if his jaws could hit the ground, Alex was sure it would have happened because never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that they exist someone capable of catching an invisible bullet with two fingers.


    ''''Guga, gugiah!"


    By now, Byron doesn''t look like a human anymore; his weight had increased, he became three meters tall, his missing leg reappeared, his beautiful light red eyes were gone, reced with dark eyes, there was a horn protruding from his forehead. Byron''s Gift seemed to have mixed with his ck skin; instead of gauntlets, Byron possessed a deadly sharp w.


    The next moment after his transformation was done, the ck Byron disappeared to reappear before Alex. Alex was attacked before he could properly defend himself.


    Boom!


    ''''Guh!"


    Alex found himself embedded on the other side of the core room; his arm was bent at an odd angle.


    Bang! Crack!


    Alex dodged the ck Byron w that wasing toward his head; at the same time, using his undamaged hand, he shoots an Ice bullet at the ck Byron.


    Thetter got pushed back; he didn''t continue to attack Alex; he spun around to defend against an attack; it was Sera who came at Alex''s rescue.


    While the ck Byron and Sera were fighting, Alex used this opportunity to take care of his broken arm; thanks to his High Regeneration skill, his arm got rapidly healed.


    Alex was furious because with Byron turning into this, he couldn''t collect any information about where his sister could be detained.


    ''''No good"


    Alex shouted; Sera had been cornered, she was about to get injured, it wouldn''t be a light injury.


    Knowing that he must do something, Alex ordered his right eye to move; he hoped to use his time ability to dy the ck Byron sharp w; however, he failed miserably; the w was almost touching Sera, who was doing her best to twist her body; however, she couldn''t do to the limited space and the ck Byron snake-like tail.


    Alex roared inside his mind; he then poured MP into his right eye; this time, it worked, its right eye shined blue, and the ck Byron''s w stopped a centimeter away from Sera''s chest; thetter used this chance to slip away.


    Sera looked at Alex after sessfully avoiding that deadly strike; she was him with a pale face; however, he was smiling.


    Without wasting time, Alex took out a Mana recovery potion and drunk it.


    BANG BANG BANG!


    Alex shooted three types of special bullets toward the ck Byron, Water, Fire, and Ice.


    A blue bullet was created after the three bullets merged.


    Alex and Sera were sure that this bullet would have done some damage to the monster''s body; however, before the bullet could get close to the ck Byron, thetter opened his mouth to emit a sharp screech.


    ''''Screeeeech!"


    Alex and Sera were forced to close their ears; they were surprised to see the special blue bullet stopping and getting erasing by the vibrations produced by the ck Byron screech.


    Gritting her teeth, Sera used her special ability.


    [Dimensional sh]


    Sera''s ck sword disappeared, she aimed the sword at the ck Byron''s heart; unexpectedly, he was the dodge the blow at thest minute; he only got a small injury, his heart was intact.


    Sera was surprised by this; however, she was more surprised when she saw Alex ready to execute his next attack as if he knew she would fail.


    [Crimson Bullet]


    From the silver gun, a Crimson Bullet burst out and tore through the air; the ck Byron couldn''t move as the crimson bullet devoured half of his body before creating arge hole in the mine until the other side of the mountain became visible.


    In hisst moment, the ck Byron regained consciousness and mumbled.


    ''''C-Charles!"
