âOh my god, he actually clocked that attack? Have his powers exceeded the gods? Is he Acro Divine
now?!â Xerxes couldnât help but blurt. He could not find the words to express his shock, knowing that
he himself wouldnât have been able to take that attack head-on.
However, the others had no idea that Shelly was mocking Alex in his mind palace. âLook at you
cowering. What are you even scared of?â
Alex was furious. âWhat do you think? Can you not tell that this guy is at least five major stages
stronger than me? Why donât you have a turn then? Even if Iâm Acro Divine, I still wouldnât be able to
fight this big guy here, right?â
Shelly didnât care. âThatâs your problem.â
Frustrated, he yelled at her out of rage. âUgh, f*ck you!â
Shelly was annoyed. âIâll f*ck you, you coward!â
âWhat?!â Alex froze up.
Nonetheless, his attention was drawn towards the Corpse Kingâs attack pattern. Since this was a tough
battle, he couldnât possibly let his guard down. He was putting his life on the line, after all.
âArgh..!â The Corpse King seemed angry that Alex didnât die from his attack
Shouting, the king continued to swing the corrupted Corpse Sword towards Alex, attacking him
furiously.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Their weapons clashed with each other, filling the air with the sounds of metal. In the end, the golden
spear was broken in half by the Corpse Sword.
Despite this, he noticed that the corroded sword was still unscathed. It remained rusty, with green,
oxidized matter around it. Looking at it, one would think it would break from chopping wood, let alone
clash with a divine weapon.
Reality was just that cruel. Despite being something that many would deem trash, that disgustingly
corroded sword managed to break Athenaâs Golden Spear.
This spear was her staff as the Goddess of War.
âDie!!!â
Alex was stunned, grabbing the broken spear with both his hands. Seeing this, the Corpse King took
the chance and attacked once more, hoping to kill Alex in one go.
On a matter of life and death, Alexâs potential exploded, instantly activating the furnace of forbidden
spells, attacking with the Great Icebound Curse.
Swish⦠Bzzrtâ¦
As the sword swung downwards, the Corpse King felt a strong force bouncing back. The Great
Icebound Spell first affected the Corpse King, freezing it completely.
Then the kingâs body as well.
âHuh?â
âCould that be⦠The Ten-Point Forbidden Spell?â
The emperor was rather shocked when he noticed the curse Alex cast. Upon closer inspection, Alexâs
attacks managed to slow down the Corpse king, too, stiffening him up by the second.
Nonetheless, the shock only lasted for a short while, and he was able to calm down right after. He
didnât lend the king a hand, nor did he use the power of the tomb to pressure Dorothy and the others. It
felt as if he turned into a bystander, watching Alex and the Corpse King fight.
He would take a few glances at Shelly from time to time, clearly filled with mixed emotions.
âRachel, you were a legendary prodigy back then. You even looked down on Buddha!â
âYet now, youâre willing to be a mere tool spirit and this bratâs guardian. Iâd really like to see whatâs so
special about him.â
âIf he just knows a few spells, then Iâll do you a good deed and kill him off. You wonât have to waste any
more of your time too. I, the Palatial Bodhi, am still merciful at heart.â The Corpse King thought.
The next second, he was so appalled that his eyeballs looked like they were going to pop out.
That was because of a bunch of old branches coming out of Alexâs forehead. They wrapped
themselves around the Corpse Sword, dragging it in. Hence, Alex managed to steal the weapon
successfully.
âThat tree branch⦠What feeling is this? Could that be⦠Is that the Chaos tree?â
