Alex was currently hiding in a damp cave.
Although he hadn't eaten anything for the past two days and hadn't drunk a single drop of water, his body was now filled with energy.
He sat still, absorbing the last bit of energy from the black dust from earlier, then transforming it into his own energy.
The entire black energy from before had disappeared, fully converted into Alex's energy.
At this mont, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling his body brimming with energy.
He grabbed a rock and then squeezed it with all his might.
Crack!
The stone was instantly crushed into countless tiny fragnts, falling to the ground.
At that mont, Alex regained the confidence and arrogance that he had once had.
"Hahahaha…" He laughed loudly, muttering to himself, "My strength has increased so much that it's unbelievable. The master was right, the Goddess of Fortune is still by my side."
Alex, pitifully, didn't know that what he had gained was Noan's permission to take it; otherwise, even if he ransacked that mysterious cave, he wouldn't have found anything.
He stood up and laughed, saying, "It's ti to hunt. Even if that mysterious person from earlier stands before , I can kill him as easily as flipping my hand."
"Hahahaha… Hahahaha…"
Alex laughed while stepping out of the cave. Suddenly, his smile vanished instantly, replaced by confusion and surprise.
"You… you… why are you here?" Alex trembled, pointing a finger ahead.
In front of him, about ten ters away, a mysterious figure wearing a white mask stood with their arms crossed, as if they had been waiting for him for a long ti.
Although it was unexpected, Alex quickly regained his composure, his face filled with anger and discomfort, shouting, "Damn it! That bastard! I underestimated you before, which is why I was defeated by you."
"At this mont, it's different. I'm no longer the person I was before, I've beco many tis stronger."
"I was even wondering where to find you, hahahaha… Fortunately, you've co here to find ."
"Tell , how do you want to die?"
Noan stood there, saying nothing, his gaze directed at Alex as though he were looking at a fool.
Alex also realized sothing was off about Noan's gaze. He gritted his teeth, his face turning red with anger.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, imdiately stomping his foot onto the ground.
BAM!
The damp ground was pressed down by Alex's foot, leaving a small crater, and his body shot toward Noan like an arrow.
BAM!
"What the hell?!"
Alex was startled and shouted when his full-force punch was easily blocked by Noan's two fingers.
At this mont, his confidence and arrogance seed to have cracked, like a small crack on a shield.
"Damn it!" Of course, Alex refused to give up. After all, he was a Fate Holder, surely possessing a strong heart, never willing to surrender.
He jumped up, spinning mid-air like a professional gymnast, his right leg swinging out, his toes aid like a spear, striking down at Noan's head.
BAM!
However, the sa scene unfolded again. Noan only needed a few fingers to effortlessly block Alex's kick.
Then... Noan swung his hand and punched Alex in the stomach.
"Ack!" Noan's light punch sent Alex flying backward like a falling leaf.
Thud!
Alex hit the ground like a sack of sand, his face clearly showing pain.
Though his injuries had healed, the area that had been wounded before was still weak, and now, with another punch, he felt as though his tough skin was about to shatter.
He was in so much pain that sweat poured from him like he was bathing, his face contorted in a grimace of rage.
"Damn it!" Alex gritted his teeth.
But before he could regain his composure, Noan appeared before him, one hand gripping his neck and lifting him high.
Noan's gaze towards Alex was filled with disdain, as if he were looking at a lowly insect.
"Damn it! Don't underestimate !" Alex shouted in fury.
At that mont, countless blood vessels surged across his body like tree roots.
A violent surge of energy enveloped him, making him much stronger.
Noan saw this and frowned, imdiately throwing a punch with all his might at Alex's chest.
BAM!
Noan's fist collided with Alex's chest, creating a wave of pressure.
The pressure exploded, turning into a fierce gust of wind that blew out around them.
Alex was once again sent flying backward by Noan's punch, but this ti, he imdiately stabilized his body and got back on his feet.
"Bastard! I'll kill you, tear you into a hundred pieces!" Alex scread like a madman.
He charged towards Noan, moving much faster than before. The distance of a hundred ters was closed in less than two seconds.
Alex swung his fist, a strange black energy surrounding his knuckles, aid directly at Noan's face.
Whoosh!
However, Alex was startled when he realized his fist seed to miss the target.
He looked up and saw Noan standing more than twenty ters away, and he didn't know when he had moved that far.
"Bastard! Don't run!"
Alex yelled, once again using all his strength to charge towards Noan.
His body was now enveloped in a layer of black energy, making him appear more sinister and bizarre.
Alex was like a gust of wind, in just a second, the distance of twenty ters beca one ter.
He swung his fist once more, aiming directly at Noan's head.
However...
Whoosh!
Alex's fist created a gust of wind that blew around them.
Once again, he missed his punch.
"What the hell is going on?" Alex flinched, his face filled with confusion as he looked at Noan, who was standing quite a distance away from him.
"You… co here! Fight like a man!" Alex roared like a madman. "All you do is run, is that what a man does?"
Noan remained silent, raising his hand. The Abyss Cube instantly appeared, beginning to assemble into a small yet extrely sharp and pointed needle.
"That is…" Alex suddenly felt a strange sensation in his mind.
His instincts told him to run, his gut was telling him that it was incredibly dangerous, and if he didn't run, he would certainly die.
The needle floated before Noan, spinning around its axis so fast it created a small vortex around it.
Noan swung his hand, and the needle vanished.
Alex flinched and quickly stepped back, but imdiately, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
He turned his head and saw the needle had embedded itself in his shoulder, and he didn't even know when it happened.
"What the hell?!" Alex mumbled, his body starting to tremble.
It must be noted that Alex's strength had increased significantly since absorbing the black energy.
This is why he felt incredibly confident when facing the mysterious figure before him.
But it seed that person was rely toying with him. In fact, the gaze of the person seed to look at him like an insect, not even worth paying attention to.
Alex felt his self-respect was horribly crushed, so he unleashed all the energy within him to fight back.
However, the power gap between him and the mysterious person still seed too vast to close.
At this point, he couldn't even see how the needle had flown toward him.
It seed to have disappeared, and then, when it reappeared, it had pierced through his shoulder.
Alex felt confused, but he had no ti to think about it.
He slowly stepped back, his hand reaching for his shoulder to pull out the needle.
However, the needle vanished once again as if it had never existed.
But the wound on his shoulder was clear evidence that the needle had once pierced through it.
Alex looked towards Noan and saw that the needle had reappeared in his hand.
At that mont, Alex truly felt like crying. With such a vast difference in power, how could he possibly win?
Unable to win, he decided to use another thod.
"Sorry, I... do we know each other?" Alex decided to try talking a bit: "I don't know who you are, if I've done sothing wrong to you, I truly apologize."
"I... I... you... please stop, I really can't take it anymore."
Alex gritted his teeth, his mouth saying he surrendered, apologizing, but in his heart, he was cursing Noan's entire lineage.
'Huh! Wait until I can leave, I'll try to beco stronger, and then co back to take revenge.' Alex thought to himself.
Noan, of course, knew exactly what he was thinking, but Noan didn't care.
"You're wrong," Noan spoke up. "I just wanted to tease you a bit."
"Pfff!" Alex almost spat out a mouthful of blood from the anger.
Damn it! Does he think I'm a dog? Just teasing a bit? A simple joke and it's caused this much pain?
