After appraising Alex, Silveria confirmed what she wanted to confirm; therefore, she asked with the corner of her mouth lifted into a smile.
''I'm listening; what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
''I want to you to give me one of your eyes like Nyx did.'' Alex didn't play around and directly told Silveria what he wanted.
Silveria, who had expected this answer, was not surprised. However, there was only one thing she was curious about. Therefore while staring directly into those heterochromia eyes, she raised a question.
''And why do you want my eye so desperately? There must be a reason, and it is this reason I want to hear.''
''It is because in our fight, you never created a bullet, you canceled most of my magic and skills using your eyes, so I want something like that. My enemy knows that I can erase magic with a single bullet; therefore, they must have prepared countermeasures; naturally, I ought to think differently and find a different solution and the solution I came up with is to ask you to give me one of your eyes. I know I'm asking for too much, but as long as you accept my request, I promise to fulfill one of your requests no matter what.'' Alex declared with a serious face.
Silveria frowned and went into deep contemplation, she seemed to be considering a lot of things, and Alex didn't disturb her. He calmly waited for her, and five minutes later, Silveria stared at him. This left Alex a little bit perplexed
''What you said is not wrong; a trump card that was identified can't be considered a trump card anymore, so you need another trump card, and possessing my silver eye can be the solution. I understand your deal, and I accepted it; as for what I will ask in exchange, I have not thought about it yet.''
Alex frowned, but he was still happy. From Silveria's words, it meant she accepted his deal; it just that she wouldn't tell him what kind of condition she would be asking him later.
''However, before granting you your wish, let's fight one more time, and this time, you better go all out; if not, you won't get what you wanted?'' Silveria warned, and Alex frowned; however, he still nodded. He had no idea what Silveria had in mind, but he would still accompany her; maybe there was something she wished to confirm first; nevertheless, he was no intention of losing unsightly as he previously did.
''Before we begin, do you know the source of magic?" Silveria stopped him and asked this sudden question. Alex was surprised, but he remembered something he had read in an old book at the Temple of Gods a few days after their reincarnations and when he was searching for a method to unlock his Gift, which was sealed at that time.
''Magic comes from a force within. All living beings possess magical energies within themselves, but only a select few can tap into these energies. These differences could easily create conflict, but so far, it has done the opposite by creating specialized jobs and teamwork.
Storing and spreading magic is at the forefront of magical research in order to utilize it better in difficult times.'' He said, and Silveria sneered because this answer was just a basic answer.
''Mana, I mean magic at the beginning of the universe, mana is what composed the universe; however, mana was not the only thing which existed back then, there existed many other sources as well. My power originated from one of them, same thing with my sister's power. The same could be said for our enemy, as we can use the oldest source, the chaos energy. Let's stop for here today, and let's fight.'' Silveria declared, forcing Alex, immersed in her explanation, to come back to his senses.
''Let's go.'' He said with the corner of his mouth lifted up to form a smile. This time he would make sure not embarrassed himself while at the same time showing how capable he was.
'I'm counting on you, Eterna.' Alex simply mumbled, and he felt the eternal chain moving inside his right arm as if to tell him not to worry; he got his back.
With the flick of her fingers, the duo appeared on above a forest.
The forest was colossal, impenetrable, and blooming. Its canopy was dominated by juniper, elm, and crab apple, which let through enough dancing beams of sunshine for a range of herbs to dominate the boulder covered grounds below.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuiet vines dangled from a couple of trees, and a range of flowers, which claimed remnants of light, brightened up the otherwise colorless backdrop.
A mixture of beastly sounds, most of which were bird songs, added life to the forest, and were accompanied by the splashing of fish in a nearby lake.
''As I've previously said, you better go all out; if not, I won't accept your demand. Understood?" Silveria confirmed once more that Alex really got her message, and the latter nodded and immediately went into his serious mode.
''Asura's Form!" Alex shouted, and his body transformed into his Asura's form, and as if this was not enough, he added.
''Mana's body.''
Boom!
The trees surrounding them were obliterated, and a huge mana whirlpool appeared behind Alex; and when Silveria saw this, she smiled; Alex's current stats were not bad; maybe he could last a couple of seconds more than usual.

''Tempus Infinitum'' Using half of his mana to conjure his time domain as he appeared before Silveria, he sent a deadly punch forward.
Crack! Boom!
Space was broken apart as his punch appeared in front of Silveria, who was still calm; she extended her hand and stopped his punch without difficulty, almost as if his domain, even when it originated from Nyx, who used a different source from her she had no trouble dealing with it.
''Meteor bullet!'' Alex immediately fired one of his strongest bullets as soon as Silveria calmly dealt with his punch.
[Dragon's mode]
Roarrrr!
Alex switched form in the middle of the fight and roared, and yet Silveria was still unfazed.
She activated her domain and punched the air; her gesture was simple as breathing; Alex still could not dodge even when using all his strength.
Bang! Boom!
Alex was sent flying ten kilometers straight, but this casual punch and he vomited a litter of blood; intense pain assaulted his body as he tried to stand up.
Every movement sent waves of throbbing pain through his chest and back. It was exhausting, and he felt sick, but there seemed to be nothing he could do about it. Surely this pain would stop soon. Indeed there's an end to this. Alex wasn't so sure and ready to give up because of it. He paused for a moment and took a deep breath. Perhaps if he could shift his focus away from the pain, it'd be easier to manage.
Alex gritted his teeth and let out a short grunt. He was determined to keep going, to swallow the pain and deal with it later simply. But he desperately kept himself busy with mindless tasks and chores, but nothing really helped to ignore the pain. Eventually, he felt like giving up and heading to bed; tomorrow would surely be a better day. However, he knew he couldn't do that; as he was wobbling on his feet, Silveria appeared behind him and wanted to deal the finishing blow; it was at that moment Alex, who had his head lowered, smiled; his bloody teeth were scary than a ghost face.
''Blitz!!!''
