Chapter 529: Plan and Schemes.

Agnes couldn€™t contain her shock as she watched Lucas swing one of his dual blades at Alec€™s neck.

€œWhat the hell does he think he€™s doing, attacking Alec like that?€ she exclaimed, half-expecting someone to answer her, but Arthur merely snorted, observing the scene with interest.

€œWhat€™s Lucas up to?

Don€™t tell me he€™s been mind-controlled, but even then, he should know that it€™ll take more than that to catch Alec off guard,€ Brandon mused, scrutinizing the battle to decipher the unfolding events.

Indeed, just as Brandon speculated, Alec feigned a backward retreat, however, as Lucas changed direction to follow, Alec did something unexpected.

The crowd€™s eyes were glued to the scene as Alec shifted his stance and launched his right leg forward, moving so swiftly it appeared as a blur.

A burning black flame seemed to cling to his boot.

Bang!!!

Three thunderous impacts echoed as Alec€™s boot struck Lucas€™s lowered knee, waist, and neck.

His rapid assault took Lucas by surprise; as he hadn€™t anticipated Alec to snap out of his trance so quickly.

Caught off guard, Lucas€™s all-out attack left him vulnerable to Alec€™s perfectly executed Muay Thai kicks, now enhanced by the hellish flames, Lucas€™s body seized up under the intense heat.

Boom!

Following the absorption of the black flame€™s attack, Lucas€™s body was suddenly propelled backward by a massive explosion, tearing through part of the roof and sending him hurtling back into the forest.

Kylian and Asher, who were observing from a short distance, swallowed hard at the sheer destructive force behind the explosion.

This attack shook any previous notions they had about Alec, as they came to the realization that he might just be a demon in disguise.

When Alec€™s black flame had struck, it had merely clung to specific spots without causing an immediate reaction, which allowed Lucas to let his guard down, however, the delayed explosion eventually erupted, propelling Lucas off the roof.

Without hesitation, Alec sprinted toward Kylian while Oni headed for Asher, leaving Titan to guard the flag.

The bloody Changdao materialized in Alec€™s grasp as he assumed a battle stance.

Kylian was taken aback by Alec€™s readiness to engage with a weapon, he had been forewarned by Asher of Alec€™s combat prowess, but he had dismissed it as an exaggeration, attributing it to the fact that Asher€™s had previously suffered defeat at Alec€™s hands.

[> Mid Tier Skill €“ Iaido <]
Alec vanished from Kylian€™s sight the instant he lifted the hilt of his Changdao, and the next moment, a loud clang echoed through the area as Alec reappeared on the ground.

Without glancing back at Kylian, Alec methodically wiped the blood from his blade before sheathing the Changdao.

Kylian, still in a state of shock, collapsed on one knee and looked down at his chest.

A vivid line of blood marred his skin, visible through the tear in his Tier 5 defense spirit cloth uniform, Alec€™s strike had not only breached the protective garment but had also wounded him, yet, Alec frowned, when he realized that his attack had not inflicted critical damage.

His physical prowess was exceptional, rivalling that of Tier 5 Mage spells, and with him using his Qi to enhance his blade, he had expected to deal more significant harm, but all he had managed was to draw blood.

Kylian, catching sight of Alec€™s furrowed brow, and could almost read his thoughts, as he silently thanked his lucky stars for his Tier 5 defensive cloth; as without it, he might have been easily defeated, a prospect he didn€™t even want to contemplate at the moment.

He pressed his hands against his chest, and a line of ice crystallized over the wound, sealing it with a frosty caress.

Bang!

He turned to the side and witnessed Asher being yanked down from the roof by chains of blue flames, with Oni at the other end, Oni then struck Asher with the blunt side of his scythe, sending him hurtling through the air.

Kylian glanced at Titan and realized that attempting to reach the flag at that moment would be unwise, as it would leave his back vulnerable to Alec and Oni, who were now free.

He also lacked the confidence to defeat Titan in a split second, thus, he made the decision to leap down, conjuring a pillar of ice from the ground to cushion his landing.

€œI have a question to ask,€ Alec announced, turning his gaze toward the direction where Lucas had been thrown.

As Kylian's face portraits a bewildered emotion, almost as if he too was unsure why Lucas had attacked his own teammate.

Asher rose from the debris of the shattered trees, blood trickling from his mouth and his body engulfed in blue flames, releasing more energy than before.

Meanwhile, a colossal ice formation materialized behind Kylian, his outstretched hand poised to unleash a barrage of ice sword strikes at Alec and Oni, who had their backs turned to each other as they watched each other€™s backs.

However, Alec remained fixated on the bushes as Lucas emerged, unscathed and smiling, despite having crashed into the trees.

€œThe question I really want to ask is, who the heck are you?€ Alec inquired, causing surprise in Kylian and Asher, Alec snorted at their reactions.

€œI know for a fact that you are not Lucas, so, tell me, are you the one called the masked one?, Do you possess an ability that allows you to assume the appearance of someone you€™ve seen before?€ Alec pressed on.

€œBecause I know these two are in on it too, which means they knew you were going to attack me, so, who are you?€ Alec demanded, as the individual disguised as Lucas simply shrugged in response.

€œI was tired of pretending to be that idiot anyway!€ he declared.

€œTurn back to your true form since you€™ve been exposed,€ Alec instructed, as the three of them burst into laughter.

€œI can€™t believe this, for your information, this is my real form, My name is Luis.

Luis Blade, Lucas€™s twin brother, now tell me, where did I give myself away?

Because I have to say, I played the part well,€ Luis stated, raising his hand to scratch his head, despite holding a blade.

€œLucas would never come after me like that, not even in his dreams, he knows my strengths better than anyone, with his analysis of me over these few days, he would have landed at least one move on me if he had come that close.€
€œ It was at that moment I also realized you use dual blades, although Lucas can also do so, he always claims he prefers just one weapon, He is wild, direct, and explosive, while you are cunning, sneaky, and trying to exploit my openings, it was so easy for me to figure out that you were not him,€ Alec explained, providing a detailed account of how he had discerned that Luis was not Lucas.

€œWell, too bad that can€™t help you now, kill him, boys,€ Luis commanded, dashing forward.

As Kylian and Asher also prepared to unleashed elemental attacks from a distance to keep Alec and Oni at bay, while Luis confronted Alec.

Despite their confidence in his abilities, before he could close the gap, a massive great sword swung toward him.

Judging by the trajectory, Luis knew he would be injured if he allowed it to make contact, digging his legs in, he swung his weapon, deflecting the great sword.

However, the weapon homed back into the hands of Lucas who was waiting.

€œSorry for coming late, Captain!€ Lucas, who had just arrived, said.

€œNo need to mention it, you came at the right time,€ Alec replied.

€œLeave him to me then,€ Lucas declared as he began walking toward Luis, while legion who came back with him, had his laser spear on display, as he pointed it towards Kylian.

As Oni faced Asher, Titan remained before the flag, his hands resting on his mace handle, watching them all without moving at all.

€œI guess it€™s time for me to move too,€ Alec said as he floated up and started flying toward the other edge of the forest.

€œSo this has been his trap all along!, he has so much confidence that we would search him out, interesting, but he is heading toward his defeat,€ Kylian muttered with a slight smile.
