Alex who was being held by Rika used his new powers to summon a ball of flame and fired it at Rika. The strongest SS rank merc didn't even bother to dodge, after the change, not only did she gain new abilities, but her past abilities became even stronger. If she was already viewed as inhuman before, she was now practically a demi-God.
She took the ball of flame without even flinching, her armor was also sturdy enough that it didn't melt from the heat. Her grip didn't loosen as she tried to speak to Alex. "I-" She wasn't even able to get one word out as Alex screamed at her.
"Don't you dare say anything! You just go ahead and die!" This was the first time Alex felt this much rage, not even his sh*tty grandfather could elicit such rage from him. The others who knew what really happened between Rika and Lyner wanted to tell Alex, but their voices couldn't reach the enraged Alex.
I've messed up my time management, the epilogue chapter might come next month at this rate. I'm sorry about that.
