Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent! - Chapter 320

Chapter 320: 2v1
Alex knew at that moment that his goal of winning the war in the Shen Wu system was well within reach.

He’d only just ranked up to C- rank so he didn’t know exactly how strong he was, but when he felt the aura of the Red Demon commander facing him and Margit, he wasn’t intimidated.

The aura felt overwhelmingly strong for someone who was also in C tier, but to Alex, it barely even affected him.

If Alex had to guess, his strength was probably somewhere in B tier mutant class, but he didn’t know the exact rank yet.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was currently preoccupied with facing down the Red Demon commander, Alex would have been shocked at his own level of strength now.

He was nearing levels even some weak professors of Capital Prime were at!

And he was still only in his first year…

But Alex stood tall at the moment, his confidence surging.

The aura of the Red Demon commander, which was once intimidating, now seemed manageable.

It was strong, certainly, but the strength Alex felt coursing through him made the commander’s presence seem… normal.

It was at this moment that he knew he was no longer just a rising prodigy — he was a force to be reckoned with.

Colonel Margit could see the change in Alex as well.

The young warrior’s posture was different, more assured, almost as if he had already accepted his place among the elite.

Margit had initially been shocked by the sheer power Alex displayed, but now, standing next to him, he felt a strange sense of reassurance.

This wasn’t just a one-off burst of energy — Alex had truly reached a level no human had ever reached before.

The Red Demon commander however, was not one to be easily dismissed.

He had come to the battlefield expecting a fight with Margit, someone he understood well and had planned strategies against.

Margit’s voice broke the silence, once again repeating what he had said.

“This is our chance Alex. We can take him down together.”

It seemed he wanted to make sure Alex was really up for it.

But Alex didn’t respond and just brandished Virtue’s Edge once again, which had taken on a new sheen after the defeat of Varkoth.

It seemed his sword had grown once again, but Alex would have to check that after he was finished here.

The Red Demon commander, sensing the shift in the battlefield’s dynamic, prepared himself.

He wasn’t going to back down, and he couldn’t even if he wanted to.

He had damaged his ship upon landing in his rush to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible, but now that had just come back to bite him.

There was no escape with a broken ship.

The doubt in his mind grew each second.

Two against one, with one of them being an unknown but clearly powerful human — it wasn’t an ideal situation.

He had heard of Alex before, but facing him after his rank up was like facing a completely new person.

But before the commander could make a move, Alex charged.

The ground beneath him cracked with the force of his leap, sending the peak of the cliff he was standing on hurtling down towards the crowd of Red Demons and humans standing below.

Sensing the sudden shift in the battlefield, they all scarpered in various directions, all running for their lives as they realised that the most powerful figures in the Shen Wu system were about to enter a conflict with each other, and they were standing right in their way.

In an instant, Alex was upon the Red Demon commander, with Colonel Margit following shortly after.

There was no hesitation, no holding back.

Virtue’s Edge, now infused with the power of Alex’s and its own evolution, cut through the air with terrifying speed.

But that wasn’t the scariest part for the enemy commander.

Alex’s upgrade had created a perfect synergy between him and his two elements, which allowed him to control them freely.

Phoenix flames covered not only Virtue’s Edge, but his entire body in an instant as he was bathed in the glorious crimson light.

But then, even more shockingly, it was joined by a mysterious light silver energy.

Spatial energy!

Alex covered Virtue’s Edge with spatial energy on top of his Phoenix Flames, and the speed of his attack exponentially increased.

The effect of the spatial energy had literally shortened the distance in space between Alex’s sword and the Red Demon commander, in turn shortening the time it would take for Alex to strike.

This was not something Alex had tried before, nor something that had even crossed his mind, but he followed his instincts with the spatial energy and this was what resulted from it.

Margit, on the side, was just as shocked as the Red Demon commander when he saw this.

Two elements at once!

Alex had assimilated two whole elements into his body right after reaching C tier!

Not even they had two elements assimilated yet…

This was usually only something C tiers on the precipice of reaching B tier could achieve.

But Alex didn’t know that and continued to display his two intertwined energies freely.

The Red Demon commander barely had time to react.

He parried Alex’s first strike, but the force behind it sent him skidding backward for hundreds of metres.

He realised from the double elements that Alex was a dangerous opponent, but having experienced that attack himself, he was even more sure of it now.

Margit followed up, not wanting to let the commander recover.

His attacks were precise, laced with what looked like lightning energy, which made Margit a speed focused awakened.

The Red Demon commander was on the defensive instantly, forced to split his attention between the two powerful opponents.

He was strong, even confident of competing with Margit in a one on one fight, but his wariness towards Alex was growing with each passing second.

He had a feeling that Alex hadn’t even gone all out in that attack…
