After a casual chat with Silveria, Alex decided to rest for an hour before starting his training on the second level. Tonight he had a goal in mind.
Quickly, one hour passed, and Alex was currently in the same forest where he had appeared last time after leaving the ghost city.
Without moving, Alex deflected an incoming arrow shot at him from somewhere in the forest.
Alex retaliated; it was instant death. The small rock picked up by Alex when he just came pierced through the hiding hobgoblin head.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Puh! Puh!
Because previously he had experienced this situation, Alex knew where the hobgoblins, the first volley of monster was hiding, so he had no trouble dealing with them.
Immediately after killing eight hobgoblins, Alex kicked against the ground to jump into the air; using a nearby tree as a foothold, he started jumping from tree to tree. He did this to avoid being surrounded by monsters like last time.
Last time after successfully killing the hobgoblins, he had made a mistake to immediately head deeper into the forest through the land, not the air, while advancing. He must have inadvertently activated a trap that alerted the monsters; maybe he stepped on the boss thread; the boss is Arachne; Alex had seen her before getting killed, by her, by the way.
So, Alex decided to use this mission; he could have used Rank 10 special ability to travel higher in the sky shortly. However, that would be saying I'm an easy target; please snipe me; using trees was more convenient.
Alex safely landed in the middle of the second group about to taste his revenge; it was a group of ten lizardmen, their levels were around 67. To not alert the nearby monsters, which were far from each other, Alex put silencers on the guns.
Ten bullets punched their way through the monster's necks, causing a gaping hole in its wake that quickly filled with blood and gushed out. They fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming around them and soaked into their crudely made clothes as they choked to deaths.
Like an assassin, Alex had already left the scene, once again he kicked the ground to jump high into the sky to land on top of the tallest tree, in the distance was a small small, surrounding this lake was a group of Water monkeys happily playing with water, at the same time they kept looking around as if they were waiting for something.
Jumping from the tree, Alex landed in the lake, creating a booming sound; the shockwave of his fall sends some of the playing Water monkeys flying.
The water monkeys were startled by the unexpected visitor; however, before they could counterattack, Alex spin, and as he spin, bullets tore through the air; with a perfect accuracy worthy of a Gun Master, Alex put a bullet in the monster's heads, by the time he stops spinning he had killed ten Water monkeys.
The leader of the Water monkey, a level 75, was dumbfounded; however, his surprise quickly vanished as he jumped toward Alex after beating his chest, his speed was fast, and he was coming from Alex's dead angle; normally, Alex shouldn't be able to react; however, the big Water monkey that jumped soon found himself froze in the air, and the next thing he saw before darkness takes over his consciousness was a leg crushing its skull until its eyes fell out from their sockets.
What happened was pretty simple, Alex used the water as a mirror to activate his right after kicking the water to momentarily draw the big water monkey's attention for his right eye to work; he was facing the monster with his back.
Just when Alex wondered when the Arachne would make a move because there is no way she didn't know that Alex was going around killing her subordinates, she planned to use to deal with the intruder. Monsters screeched; it was coming from the sky followed by a strong wind; immediately, Alex jumped on and rolled to his right.
Two vertical wind cut through the water, the place Alex was standing. When he was taking cover, Alex saw the enemy's identity, two gryphons, eagle head with Lion body. Gryphons are Wind element monsters, so it wasn't surprising that they would attack using the Wind element.
Alex stood up with a smile, facing two aerial levels 80 monsters; he had already thought of a way to handle this couple. Raising his leg high, Alex waited until the male Gryphon dive closer before striking the surface of the lake with all his strength, and 2100 ATK struck it, was bound to be big.
Like a geyser, water shot toward the sky, almost reaching the male Gryphon. This forced the monster to alternate his flying posture; then Alex jumped forward, using what happened as cover; he appeared under the gryphon with a wicked smile.
The invisible bullet tore through the male Gryphon's right leg alongside his wing.
The monster screeched as blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain and he fell from the sky, crashing against a tree headfirst.
Alex was not done; using what was left from the male Gryphon ripped off the right leg, he threw it toward the female gryphon; the latter momentary froze as the incoming leg is from her husband, her anger, bloodlust vanished, her brain stopped working. In a fight, it's a fatal mistake that can cost one life.
Alex threw a knife at the frozen gryphon; however, instead of piercing the monster's body, it passed an air breath from her head to continue its course in the sky like a rocket. Then arrived the last step in Alex's plan; he still had that wicked smile on his face, though.
Alex's shadow shifted with the flying knife that had just passed by the female gryphon head. After switching place with the knife, he raised his leg until it almost touched his head. Simultaneously, the female gryphon regained its sanity; however, she had no time to get furious before Alex kick landed on her back, and it struck hard.
Indeed, like a meteor, the female gryphon shot from the sky toward the ground at incredible speed; strangely, she landed at the exact location as her suffering husband.
The forest shook, trees fell, a huge crater appeared with the miserable couple inside it; however, it was not the end yet; from the sky like the Death God, Alex sentenced them to death.
