Capítulo 54: Chapter 49: Four against One Last Part

The crowd was silent, until now they still didn't understand what truly happened. Some decided to wait and see.

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't take it anymore therefore he asked.

"What just happened? I don't understand.''

''Dunno, Alex vanished with a poof and with a bang! the two men at the rear were struck. It's all I saw.'' another one explained.

''He used some strange movement skill. I had never seen nor heard of it. What unusual skill. Truth be told even I, I'm envious. it's a wonderful skill. Used wisely you can catch your opponent off guard like he did and flew when things became bad. Sigh! The world is sure big.'' An Old Adventurer explained, he is a famous Adventurer, one of three B Rank Adventurer present in this town. Gale surnamed 'Gale Blade'.

The crowd finally understood that Alex had used a movement skill. Turning their heads they saw Diaz whose complexion wasn't looking good. He was silent as his face turned blue.

Truth be told Diaz was afraid, truly afraid, he regretted his earlier decision. He knew that he has been impulsive, thinking about it now there was no way that a guy who killed thirty goblins and a rare species would be weak, he must have some skills. Diaz was sure that he and his group would not be able to accomplish the same feat. Yet, driven by envy and especially jealousy, he challenged the man who accomplished this feat. After witnessing how easily Alex had dispatched his men Diaz was not sure if he could win.

Shaking his head he exchanged a glance with Bolt before facing Alex.

A murderous glint entered Diaz's eyes as he dashed forward slashing at Alex from a tricky angle.

Having known that Diaz's attack was just a decoy, Alex nimbly jumped back to narrowly avoid Bolt slash. Bolt was positioned behind Diaz ready to attack after the latter performs his fake attacks. Judging by how naturally the two had performed this move, it must not be the first time they used it. Unfortunately, Alex was aware that Bolt was hiding behind Diaz ready to strike him after the former attacked. Thanks to his Divine sense's skill Alex was able to know it.

The two were surprised by Alex avoiding their combo, not giving them the time to ponder on how he knew it, Alex kicked the ground and with a swift sound, he appeared before Diaz slashing at the latter with his dual knives (Razor in his right hand while Black Betties one of his throwing knives in his left hand).

Clanks! Clanks!

Diaz blocked the blows using the hand of his ax.

Alex retreated before Bolt comes attacking. Grinning Alex launched three throwing knives in quick succession at Bolt whose sword was raised (He raised previously with the intent of slashing at Alex when he was busy clashing against Diaz.)

Seeing the incoming knives even though he was surprised by how quick they were Bolt smirked and brought down his two-handed sword deflecting the first knife, with a hah sound he deflected the second. Then he grinned however his grin turned into horror when he saw a third knife coming straight toward his shoulder, something he wasn't expecting.

It was at that time he heard Diaz late warning

''Careful Bolt, there's a third knife.''

It was already too late for him to avoid it, he tried to shift his shoulder from the trajectory of the knife unfortunately the knife was faster. The third knife embedded itself into his left shoulder, slightly above his armpit. Because Bolt was not wearing any chainmail under his Armor, the knife easily pierced him.

''Gah!" Bolt grunted in pain, his left arm was disabled, his longsword struck the ground because he couldn't hold it anymore.

As if waiting for that outcome Alex with an insane speed tried to finish the injured Bolt.

Diaz's eyes turned cold and he roared ''As if I'll let you.''

[Wind Slash]

Immediately a vertical Wind blade was created and sent in Alex's direction forcing him to stop his attack.

However, Alex didn't seem disappointed for being interrupted instead he grinned evilly as if he was waiting for Diaz to respond as he did.

When Diaz saw how Alex was grinning even when he stopped him from finishing Bolt, he was suddenly assaulted by a dreadful feeling as if he had fallen into Alex's trap.

''Fuck, I'm in a deep shit.'' Diaz cussed.

''Indeed you are.''

Alex who should be far away appeared behind him and said, he seemed that he had used his strange movement skill again. Diaz spun and swung his ax down without looking at whether Alex was near him or not.

Unfortunately, Alex was not directly behind him, smirking Alex threw two knives at Diaz at an extremely fast speed, Diaz hastily brought his ax and used it to block the two knives aimed at his eyes and shoulder.

However, he had forgotten that Alex still has one throwing knife, the one he used to slash at him earlier. Using this last knife Alex hurled it toward Diaz's right thigh.

Busy dealing with the two knives thrown at him, Diaz did not see the third knife coming, he became aware of it after being pierced by it.

An intense pain assaulted him, the last Black Betties was deeply embedded in Diaz's right thigh, the right side of his gray pant was drenched in blood in a matter of seconds.

Diaz distanced himself from Alex, he then ascertained the state of his injured leg as he regained his breathing trying to endure the intense pain he was feeling.

''Well, are you gonna give now?" Alex asked mockingly.

''Shut uppp!"

Towards Alex's provocation, Diaz attacked again even though he was injured and limping.

The battle-ax was swung down with a cry. As Alex saw it, he moved diagonally. In other words, he moved beside Diaz, and with the blunt side of his knife, he struck Diaz's hands.

''Gah'' Grunting in pain Diaz dropped his ax, still, he punched at Alex shortly after, the blow was easily evaded. Seeing no need to continue this fight any longer, Alex punched Diaz in the face, breaking his nose, followed by a kick in the stomach.

With crushed ribs, Diaz was blown away and slammed into the wall of the Adventurers Guild.

The attacks were carried out in a blink of an eye, Diaz fainted due to the pain, he fell face-first against the ground.

Alex spun and glanced at Bolt who was using his two-handed sword as support, he didn't remove the knife from his shoulder, probably because he didn't want to lose too much blood.

Green eyes clashed against brown eyes, Bolt heaved a sigh before announcing, ''I surrender.''

Bolt's voice was filled with exhaustion, he knew that he was not Alex match even without injuries and now that he was disabled, better surrender than continue fighting which would mean more injuries, Diaz their leader was beaten, he was now lying unconscious on the ground. So, Bolt judged that it would be wiser to surrender.

With Bolt surrendering, this fight comes to an end, Alex was the final winner. Face full of smiles and eyes filled with anticipation Alex started to walk towards his spoils.
