The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel
242 Chapter 242The man was shocked at the sudden change of events and panicked but he didn’t lose his composure.
Unsheathing his sword from the scabbard, he drew his sword directly stabbing towards the front envisioning the scene of his sword stabbing the chest of the man that was dashing at him wildly.
Swish!
A faint image flickered and his sword pierced the madly charged image and a slightly insane smile appeared on his face but his hopes were crushed and the vision he envisioned didn’t appear.
“Idiot”
His expression changed slightly as he heard a faint voice filled with disdain coming from beside him and was horrified to see that what he pierced was just an afterimage which vanished immediately.
“How can he be so fast..”
He wasn’t able to finish his sentence and turned his body to react but he was a bit late when a sword appeared and chopped his arms like a knife slicing butter.
The man stared at Alex with a baffled look unable to react and before he could scream, Alex already slit his throat open.
[You have killed an early Epic rank warrior. You have gained 50 experience points.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA notification flashed before him after a long time.
Alex’s eyes almost became moist seeing the notification. The system had a restricting option as once he ranked up, he couldn’t get experience points from killing the lower rank guys and it even considered him a bully when he defeated lower rankers.
This frustrated Alex greatly as the higher one climbed, the higher difficulty one had to face and the experience didn’t increase at all according to ranks like the general tropes.
It was a biased thing towards him and in a way, the Goddess was restricting asking him to rely on himself more instead of the system.
And the powerhouses of the upper realm don’t grow on trees which he could pick up and eat as much as wants. There wouldn’t be even 100 or more Overlord warriors in this world so if he reached Overlord rank then just how well will he level up?
Killing 10 overlords would barely earn him 1000 exp when he reaches the Overlord realm and killing them wouldn’t be easy.
Alex locked all his grievances in his heart at the moment and decided to focus on these black-clothed men. He could seek trouble with the goddess another time.
Alex turned around to see the other five shadows converging towards him while two casters had finished preparing their spells and were waiting for a suitable time to cast them.
At the same time, one of the men drew out his sword. The sword was pure black and the entire blade seemed to be smeared with a lethal poison giving a weird smell. A single cut from the sword was enough to kill the enemy and even a healer may find it difficult to heal quickly.
Alex, whose shoulder and arms had been relaxed after killing the first man, abruptly accelerated and he drew his sword in one smooth motion.
The man’s eyes narrowed as a golden light shimmered on his black long sword from the injection of aura. This was one of his most powerful strikes and he had slain many Epic rank warriors with it in the past.
However, his heart plunged into darkness as Alex flicked his sword upward in a seemingly casual motion.
The sword strike appeared to be rather light and lacking in power, but it was so fast that the man wasn’t able to trace its trajectory with his eyes at all.
The speed seemed to exceed the limit of an Epic rank warrior and he couldn’t even react properly.
His heart was horrified at the thought of the man intentionally hiding his power.
The man’s expression sank but his expression became intense as he poured out all of his mana and injected it into his sword.
A flash of crimson light appeared on Alex’s sword. The light was very faint and could easily be missed unless one was observing the situation with utmost focus.
SHIING!
The droplets of rain were sliced following the round vibrating sound of metal rubbing against each other.
DIING!
Two swords clashed, splattering the rainwater around them and blowing them away. A sword was cut off in the middle and the tip of the sword flew away carrying the momentum.
The man was terrified and his scale went numb. He could feel that the enemy was in the same rank as him and was quite younger yet he was unable to defend himself from his enemy’s attacks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man quickly snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at his longsword severed by his opponent.
He thought to retreat while sending a signal to others to back him up but Alex’s shadow flashed before his eyes and a cold sensation glanced past his neck and all the feeling left in his body.
Blood gushed from his neck and his head fell off the ground.
After decapitating him, Alex didn’t even take a single glance back at him before charging toward the next black-robed figure.
A pillar of blood erupted from Alex’s back as the corpse thumped on the ground.
All the black-robed figures’ eyes widened in shock and horror upon seeing that but none of them retreated or uttered a single word.
Instead, they tightened the grip of their weapons and continued to charge toward Alex.
Even though two of their team members were insta killed that didn’t mean the man was invincible.
Moreover, they have several advantages on their side and their plan wasn’t to kill the man before.
They just need to engage the men and keep them busy until their target has been taken care of.
There were still many left so there was no reason for them to panic.
[Surging Wind Blades]
One of the mages aimed his wand towards Alex and violet tornadoes swept through the air. Greenish blades of wind performed a lethal dance swapping up the soil leaves and stones as they hurtled toward Alex.
Alex was alerted to seeing the storm of wind and hopped back up in the air but at the same, another spell was shot at him.
[Scorching Flame]
