Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Alex who was hurdling down the air, touched his cheek that Makrum punched.

'It…. stings a little…'

Alex muttered.

His cheekbones were crushed, and his golden blood was leaking from his mouth.

The pain was so much that he was feeling a bit numb due to it.

He couldn't feel his cheek.

However, Alex was someone who had experienced greater pains, the pain given to him by, the one and only, system of his.

So, he was still fine.

He was feeling pain, but not so much that he would start screaming like a little girl.

He was feeling a strange itch though….

[Your instantaneous regeneration kicked in.]

Sophia commented as if she could understand what Alex was thinking.

'Ah, I forgot that I had that ability….'

Not being able to ever see that ability work made Alex almost forget that he had that ability.

His cheek was regenerated instantaneously, leaving a strange itch on the place, but he could still taste the blood in his mouth.

It somehow tasted sweet…..

Alex shook his head as he let his body fall toward the sea surface.

"Alex!!" X2

He could hear Alice and Ann's scream, he could see Noctura rushing towards his location as she ran over the water the same way Alex was doing.

Alex just looked at them.

'This somehow feels great….'

Alex muttered inwardly as his hair fluttered by the wind that was hitting his face.

[Falling down?]

'No,' Alex replied.

[Then?]

'Fighting a fight where I could potentially get hurt…'

Alex spoke as he looked at Makrum, who was staring at the body of the mid-boss speechlessly.

[Every fight is like that, Alex.

It's just that you never realized it since you were perfect at everything.

But today you got hurt because someone made use of your only weakness.]

Sophia seriously replied.

She didn't want Alex to go fighting someone stronger with his stats suppressed so much that he could potentially die.

She didn't want to see Alex risking his life.

These fights were fine since Alex just suppressed his stats till they equaled his opponent's, but she didn't want to see more than that.

'I see…'

Alex muttered as he looked up in the sky absentmindedly.

The stinging pain from before had cleared his mind.

He had realized that he had fallen for a trap, he fell for a trap that would've been clear to him if not for his excessive worry for his loved ones had caused.

'All I see is a man with a very big weakness, a weakness so big that it might make that man lose his all one day.'

*Chuckle*

Alex chuckled as he remembered the words he spoke to Max as advice.

'Aren't I the same?'

'But, do I want to change? No.'

'Do I regret looking toward Noctura to make sure that she was all right? A big NO.'

'I don't regret any of that, and I will do it again if I have to.'

Alex's eyes turned firm as he looked down at Makrum.

'There will be many like him, but all they would do is teach me a new lesson for the future.'

The thing that happened today would be like a lesson for Alex.

Will he fall for the same trick again? Maybe.

But will he let his focus waver? Never.

Although he felt his blood pumping up in those short milliseconds.

The moment of struggle he had.

The part where he killed the mid-boss with a single kick just because he didn't want to be the only one to suffer a loss.

All of this was good, and he felt the thrill he was searching for, during this fight, but he was not a masochist.

He wants a fight where he would be cornered, but that's because he wants to force himself to find a way to get out of that cornered position.

Alex's gaze remained fixed on Makrum, and when Makrum looked at Alex his eyes widened.

'He is unscathed?!'

From Makrum's point of view, it was not even a second ago that he punched Alex, but just when he was looking at his dead subordinate, cursing him for dying and failing the whole plan he had, he saw Alex staring at him.

But what shocked him was the fact that there was not a scratch on Alex's cheek even though he could vividly remember his fist crushing each and every one of Alex's cheekbones.

The crunching sound of Alex's bones breaking was still fresh in his ears.

'How is he unharmed?!?!'

Makrum screamed inwardly, but looking at the situation, he knew that it was not before he died, so he looked at Alex and his eyes sharpened.

There was a determined light shining in his eyes.

No one knew what it was, but soon they will know.

................................................…

Makrum was not the only one shocked by these turns of events.

Alice, Ann, and Noctura were shocked more than him.

It could be better to say that it was the biggest shock of their life.

At least for Noctura, it surely was the biggest shock.

'Master!!'

She shouted inwardly as she rushed toward him along with Alice and Ann.

All three of them exchanged a worried glance before they increased their speed.

It was the first time Alice, Ann, and Noctura saw Alex getting hurt during a fight.

It was like an eye-opener for them.

'Alex could get hurt as well…'

For them, it was like: 'Nothing can hurt Alex.'

But now it changed.

'He is a human as well…'

They realized those things now.

Alex was not some all-seeing, all-knowing God, he was not invincible. The notion that Alex was invincible was removed from their minds.

But it was not actually bad.

Now they would want to be there to help Alex.

Now they knew that Alex might NEED their help sometimes.

But then they remembered the reason for Alex being hit and they sighed. Alice and Ann just shook their heads while Noctura lowered her head.

All of them knew what happened since Makrum's shout attracted their attention. So, they knew the reason for Alex's current situation.

However, could they blame anyone for that? Yes, they could blame Macrum.

But not Alex, nor Noctura.

Noctura couldn't do anything while Alex just did what any one of them would've done if they were in his position.

If they were in Alex's place and Alex was in Noctura's, they would've done the same thing even though they knew that Alex was much stronger than them.

But by then they reached just where Alex was falling, but then they saw him doing a flip in the air and land on the water surface with his back at them.

"Alex!" X2

"Master!"

They exclaimed again as they rushed toward Alex with worry written over their faces only to hear him chuckle.
