It was then that the colorful flames turned into a fire snake, lunging towards the Peak Lord, burning his
entire body once again. He screamed in horror and agony.
All the members of the Sun Shrine immediately came forth to help him put out the fire, but they ended
up disappointed.
The flame was a mixture of true fire of the Sun and Samadhi. If a person were to be lit up with this,
there was no way to extinguish it. All they could do was wait untill the fire burned its victim to the
ground.
However, it was quite fast. Within thirty seconds, the Peak Lord died a horrible fate. His body turned
into mere ashes. It was just way too brutal.
Alex was quite surprised as well. âThis fire is way too strong, what if I accidentally hurt someone on our
side? Itâs like I became a fire-breather or something. That went beyond my expectationsâ¦â
However, he then realized that the fire energy he swallowed was decreasing at a rapid pace. Still using
the special breathing method, the energy within the flames was being absorbed by his organs. He was
able to sense newfound power within his body.
Due to the heat, he tried to touch his face to check on himself. Instead, this gave the others, and
himself, quite a shock. He managed to tear a layer of skin down from his forehead. It was dangling in
front of his eyes.
âWhat the⦠Whatâs happening?â
âIâm shedding?â
Alexâs hands started shaking. It was just too weird. He didnât think heâd tear the skin off of his entire
face. Some of the female members of the Plenilune sect even felt like puking after seeing this. Alex
then tore the whole thing off and threw it to the ground. It was thin, half-transparent, but complete, there
was a little dust on it as well.
Despite having a layer of skin torn off, Alex could sense the changes on his skin. It was soft and
smooth, making him look like he was glowing.
âAre you⦠Even human? Could you be a demon?â one of the Peak Lords was petrified.
âHow could humans ever shed like this? Only snakes and other similar beings would do so.â
Some couldnât help but make their own guesses. âIs Alex a snake demon who learned how to
shapeshift?â
Alex cracked his neck and moved his shoulders slightly, cracking his joints loudly. âIt wonât be polite if I
donât pay back the favor. You guys fed me some flames, so now you get to eat my fists.â
Alex was literally fired up. The sudden expansion of energy within his body was filling up his organs, so
he felt the need to move around to release some of this energy.
âArgh!â
Leaping from the ground, he used his own stamina instead of Instant Teleportation. Despite that, he
managed to move three times the speed of sound, as thunder and lightning surrounded his figure. He
wanted to slaughter the Peak Lords of the Sun Shrine.
These people have been murderng the members of the Plenilune sect. They even tried using extreme
methods to obtain his treasures. Hence, they deserved to die a horrible death.
âDragon Tusk Punch!â
âDragon Tusk Punch!â
âAnother Dragon Tusk Punch!â
Alex yelled, using the same attack this whole time, not intending to change his methods.
His movements were swift and rapid, each punch landed accordingly. As soon as he captured the Peak
Lords, he would deliver multiple punches to each of them. In just a blink of an eye, he was able to kill
off three of them.
The rest of the Peak Lords shivered with fear after seeing this.
âThat was way too brutal. Is this his true strength? Itâs like heâs some large beast!â
Donovan seemed to be wavering, wanting to retreat. Alex was just way too strong for him, and his
current self would most likely die here if they fought. Hence, escaping was the only thing he could think
of now. However, the silver light from the back of the sanctuary shone way too brightly. He knew that
some kind of rare treasure must have been formed, so he wasnât willing to give up on that yet.
Whooshâ¦
Donovan clenched his teeth and decided to take the risk anyway. He assumed that he would be able to
escape quickly after snatching the rare treasure from the sanctuary. After he became stronger, he
would come back to defeat Alex.
âOh! And that Xavion Sword as well.â
He figured that it was no normal weapon. As he made his decision, Donovan let out a roar and rushed
in, attempting to take the Xavion Sword with him.
In actuality, he had miscalculated. just as he was about to take the sword, it appeared to have merged
with the ground. Not only could he not bring it with him, but the force yanked him back, causing him to
fall on his butt.
