“Tsk! Oi! Human this isn’t the time to rest, we need to- kh…!” Before Blake could finish his sentence, he found Gale’s fist driven into his stomach.
Alex didn’t waste a second before swinging his sword to cut off Gale’s arm but the latter had already withdrawn his hand. He then quickly grabbed the wire of their cuffs and took to the sky pulling them with him. As soon as he reached somewhat 20 meters above, he spun around and using the momentum of his body threw the two to the ground.
Blake managed to fight through the pain and used his spell ‘Big bang fist’ after which his hand was covered by a big mana made fist. He quickly punched it on the ground below to break their fall but they still ended up taking a bit damage. It was quite clear that if they took anymore hits, they’ll be knocked out.
‘Oi, kid, it’s no use, I’ll break the limits and give you extra power. You both can’t defeat him as you are now. Get ready for the transf—
‘No, wait! I’ll become unconscious after that. Even you will be out of commission. I can’t trust my body with Blake at my side. I have something else that I need to try.’
‘What are trying to say?’
‘Believe in me… alright? I might be able to make it work, if it doesn’t, we’ll go with your plan, I’ll—
‘Okay.’
‘Huh?’
‘You asked me to believe in you and that’s what I am doing right now.’
Alex had an unbelievable look on his face. It was the first time he heard Miracle talk like this. Nevertheless, he knew he can’t disappoint him now.
“You both are still resisting huh? Alright then, I’ll give you both a chance to survive. Bear this and I’ll throw you both into the prison. But if you two can’t then I suppose, so long!” Gale shrieked in excitement as the large flaming ball he had summoned over his hand was suddenly launched by him towards them.
“That Crazy bastard! We need to use our strongest moves to deflect this thing! Don’t hold back on me human!” Blake said as he began to gather mana around his left hand. However, he stopped when he saw Alex reaching for something inside his jacket.
Gale observed them from above, floating in sky. ‘Huh, these brats won’t be able to survive them, I made sure that it won’t kill them but they’ll suffer major burns. Afterall even kids need to be taught with a heavy hand- what? They’re pushing back?’
Gale looked in disbelief as he saw his enormous flaming ball stopped in place just before them. Alex and Blake weren’t visible to him but he was quite sure that the flaming ball stopped just before them. However, the thing that happened next rendered him speechless. The flaming ball began to become small or more precisely it seemed to be vanishing.
Not even a whole minute passed by and the large flaming ball had vanished and the two boys stood there without a single burn mark on them from that attack.
“What did you guys pull?!” Gale asked infuriated.
“Was that the best you can do? I had more expectations than this when Blake said that you were the strongest captain. But I suppose you deserve the title of the weakest?” Alex asked with a smirk clearly mocking him.
Blake who was standing beside looked surprised, not just at what happened but also how Alex was mocking Gale. He couldn’t understand what he was after. But if it was to piss off Gale and hurt his ego, he had achieved it perfectly!
A large surge in mana was sensed by Blake as he looked above at the shiny red light emerging from Gale’s sword.
“It seems you have a death wish BRAT!!” Gale roared as he dashed towards them with incredible speeds.
“Okay I just need to block his attack for a moment. If it’s just that much then I guess my body can take it…” Alex said mumbling to himself.
“Boost: Times 3!”
Just like before a magic circle formed above his head and passed through his body. Alex covered his sword with black dense mana and swinged it towards the approaching Gale.
*Clank* *BOOM* *Zzwwpp*
The sound of metals clashing was covered by the large air force released from the two swords clashing. However, the next moment the mana erupting from Gale’s sword completely vanished. It seemed as if it was never really there in the first place.
“Huh?! How’s this…” Gale was shocked at what just occurred. But found even more startled at what was happening. His mana which he could always feel inside his body. It was slipping away. It was flowing away like water and he could do nothing to stop it. Then suddenly his eyes went over to Alex’s left hand or precisely the dark ocean blue colored stone he was holding. It was glowing in a bluish hue.
Gale quickly understood what was the cause of his mana being sucked away as well as how his flaming sphere had vanished. He had guessed correct. Alex had used the stone to immobilize the large flaming sphere and absorb it completely with the stone.
Realizing what was happening Gale tried to pull away but Blake had already grabbed him by his hand preventing him from breaking free. Gale struggled but as time passed, he felt weak and finally fell to the ground unconscious. It was the result of drying up his mana.
