If two SS-rank raiders were to fight seriously, with all of their power, then the destruction of the area that is going to be destroyed and the lives that are going to be lost in that process was not small.


    So, now that everyone in Alex''s group was higher or equal to SS rank, Alex decided to change the location for their training.


    ''I can just barricade the area for us to fight, but it will cause us to have limited space….''


    Alex had thought of just barricading the training room in their house, but that idea was quickly shot down by himself.


    With nothing better to think of, Alex brought them all to an uninhabited, undiscovered, and isted ind that he found after a lot of searching.


    It was easy to find some uninhabited inds as there were many like that, much more so after the expansion of the.


    So, right now, they were on this ind that was unimed by anyone.


    This was their new training ground, and it was huge. It was the size of arge city and Alex had found out that it was actually the tip of a huge mountain that originated from the sea bed.


    The mountain had probably grown when the grew, making it evenrger, but it really was huge….


    .....................….


    Alex, who was in mid-air moved his palms toward each other, and just as he did…


    ''Pyre of adjudication,'' Alex muttered inwardly as he used the skill that had been growing along with him for a while.


    ''The mes in the surroundings are evil,'' Alex muttered again.


    This skill, ''Pyre of Adjudication'' worked in a unique way.


    The fire from the POA (Pyre of adjudication) only burned evil, it won''t even touch the good things.


    This was one of the reasons why Alex never used it.


    But one day he tried experimenting with something, and the result was sess.


    ''I just need to wholeheartedly believe that the one I''m using this me for is/ are evil.''


    Alex found a loophole.


    Nothing was actually evil or actually good, it was just how you see it.


    For a thief, stealing is not something bad, the thieves steal because they think that it is an easier way for them to earn money.


    But the same thing is considered a crime if we go by thew.


    The mes worked just like that.


    The things that Alex considered evil will be burned by the me while the things that Alex considered good won''t be.


    Just as Alex thought of Alice''s mes that were in the surroundings as evil, the pyre of adjudication, which is a maroon-colored me rushed out of Alex''s body.


    The maroon-colored me washed over Alice''s golden-orange mes, and Alice''s mes extinguished.


    "Wha…."


    Alice who saw all of this was shocked.


    ''What the hell is this ability?!?!'' Alice screamed inwardly but then she saw Alex passing her a smile.


    ''….. Another one of his abilities,'' Alice was not even surprised anymore.


    She was shocked that Alex had mes that were strong enough to extinguish her mes, but she was not surprised because it was Alex.


    Now, it would not have been possible for Alex''s mes to extinguish Alice''s mes no matter if they were growth-type or not.


    Alice had unlocked a bit of her potential, after all.


    But right now, Alice was not strong enough to face a me that was epic-ranked.


    Yes, POA was epic-ranked, and that was because it was a growth-type skill.


    Alex who had used POA to extinguish Alice''s me could finally see the battlefield now.


    But it took some time and now, the attack that was headed toward him was right in front of his face.


    A simple looting de was thrown at him, and there was no one in the direction it was thrown from.


    ''That''s Ann''s conjured de…'' Alex muttered inwardly, but on the outside…..


    "It''s clearly a diversion, I can tell that easily, not like it is of any use now, the mes are gone."


    Alex spoke as he tilted his head to the side, avoiding the de.


    It was easy to tell that the de was just a diversion, something that would take his attention, letting the attacker make use of that moment and attack him.


    But now the me veil made by Alice was gone, and there was nothing for the attacker to hide in.


    However, just as Alex dodged the de headed toward him, he felt another attack heading toward him.


    Alexnded on the ground only to find a golden wave of meing at him.


    "You know that I can just dodge it, don''t you?" Alex raised his brow as he jumped to the side.


    But just then his perception warned him of danger, so he quickly tilted his body backward and did a back handspring.


    From the corner of his eyes, he saw what it was.


    ''Ann is getting better and better at strategizing….''


    Alex muttered inwardly as he saw the spike made out of shadow that had almost prated his skull.


    There was the sun in the sky, but there were no trees or anything in the surroundings, so there was nothing that could produce shadow other than Alex''s own shadow in the surroundings.


    ''This time it was Noctura….'' Alex noted inwardly.


    The only one who can control shadow is Noctura.


    However, she didn''t make a spike out of Alex''s shadow, it was not possible, not until Alex allowed it or Alex knew about it.


    The spike was made out of the shadow produced by the de that Alex dodged before.


    The de had a tiny shadow, and the spike made out from it would be small as well, but that is where Alice''s mes came into y.


    ''ns and backup ns…...


    She worked hard for today''s training.''


    Alex praised Ann inwardly.


    The mes that Alice shot were bright enough to make the shadow of the dagger bigger, which made it possible for Noctura to make arge spike out of it.


    Alice shot the mes just after Alex dodged the dagger andnded on the ground, which meant that the dagger was not far from him at that moment, resulting in the current situation.


    Alex was upside down right now, or to be precise, he was on his hands as he was in the middle of his back handspring, but before he couldnd back on his feet…..


    *Swosh*


    Alex heard the sound of air cutting again before his perception warned him again.


    The attack wasing right to his head or neck as he was still upside down.


    Alex didn''t spring himself back straight, if he did that, he felt that he would fall for their trap again, so instead, he fell straight to the ground on his back.


    With him falling to the ground, the attack that was supposed to hit him passed right above his face.


    Alex was safe, but he didn''t stop as he knew how annoying Ann''s stealth was, so he rotated his body on the ground and kicked in the direction where the attack came from.


    "Argh!"


    A groan was heard as Alex''s attack hit right in Ann''s gut.


    Ann''s stealth got removed as she was thrown back for who knows what distance.


    But before Alex could get a breather or even get up, Noctura, who had been invisible from the start finally jumped on Alex with her ws covered with shadow.


    "Shit!"
