The Chronomancer was astonished by the turn of events, as Alec seems to be in an enlightened state as he flawlessly executed combo after combo of attacks.
Following the left jab he threw, Alec smoothly followed through with a powerful right cross punch, by utilizing the rotation of his body to unleash maximum power while staying closely to the Bloody Changdao.
However, the Chronomancer swiftly mounted a last-minute defense as he raised his hands up, keenly sensing the imnse strength behind Alec's rotational attack.
This slight resistance pushed him back, prompting the Chronomancer to exert even more force into his hands to break the attack before swinging his sword, yet, Alec skillfully rolled backward, evading the strike, and imdiately surged forward once more.
During Alec's advancent, the Chronomancer hastily retreated a few steps as Alec seized his Bloody Changdao from the ground and thrust it towards the Chronomancer's torso.
Capitalizing on the opening created by the Chronomancer's attempted retreat, Alec aid directly at him, alas, the Chronomancer swiftly comprehended Alec's intentions, skillfully waving both hands to flick Alec's Changdao and neutralize the thrust.
Unfazed by this countermove, Alec seamlessly transitioned his attack. Advancing forward with his left foot, as he swiftly executed a forceful right roundhouse kick to the Chronomancer's side, striking him with considerable impact.
This blow caused the Chronomancer's left side to bend slightly and disrupted his balance.
Frustration welled within the Chronomancer as he longed to curse aloud, Alec had cleverly employed his gravity distortion on his legs before executing the attack, resulting in internal injuries, as the distortion attacks ravaged his insides upon impact, the Chronomancer felt the full force of their power.
Unlike the comparatively mild discomfort caused by the fiery and earth fists, these gravity-infused attacks were like critical blows, and Alec's control over this ability was impeccable, enabling him to unleash its force at will.
Swiftly dropping to the ground, Alec seamlessly followed through with his Changdao in a low sweeping motion, intentionally targeting the Chronomancer's still unbalanced left leg, causing him to stumble and fall.
Without a mont's hesitation, Alec drove the blade straight into the Chronomancer's heart, his eyes bulging in disbelief as the realization of his imminent demise hit him. In a cruel twist of fate, he found himself unable to cast the ti reversal spell, as the anti-magic properties had already pierced into his heart through the Changdao , rendering him powerless to avert his own death.
It was a bitterly ironic mont for the Chronomancer who played with ti spells , unable to perform even a single spell due to the overwhelming presence of anti-magic, despite his struggle, it took a grueling two minutes before his life finally slipped away.
Alec couldn't help but marvel at the Chronomancer's tenacity, his sheer determination to fight on even as his life force waned, it had truly been an unexpected turn of events, however, Alec had not aid to kill him out of malice, but solely out of his duty.
Through information gleaned from the academy, they discovered that the Chronomancer had been directly involved in nurous deaths.
Although the precise details of how and when he had wrested control of the city eluded them, they knew one thing for certain: no mage above Tier 5 could enter the City of Ti and those who did enter never live to tell the tale.
Those who had dared to defy this rule had t their demise, Alec remained unaware of Selene's intentions to gamble with his life again, due to her unwavering faith in him that he would defy death once again.
With a fluid motion, Alec swung his Changdao to the side, the droplets of blood flung from the blade, leaving it gleaming in its pristine state.
He dragged the Changdao along the scabbard, each movent asured and solemn.
The blade traced the scabbard's opening slowly, almost reverently, before Alec slid it ho with a soft click, in that mont, his spirit equipnt set reverted back to tattoo form, his eyes closed, as he collapsed to the ground.
"I won," he mumbled as consciousness slipped away.
