บท 999: The Black Scourge

In his eagerness to inflict damage to his opponent, the kobold had left his guard down for a single second, and Alex used everything he had to gain space for himself.

The hook smacked the kobold squarely in his elongated jaw, sending his head rocking to the side, soon followed by his entire body, as he flew into a nearby wall, cratering into the stone with a loud boom.

With only seconds to spare, Alex un-melded with White and reached back for Shegror's soul fragment, feeling his body undergo multiple changes in rapid succession. Alex pulled back into his mind as Shegror's influence set back in, letting her take complete control.

Not a moment later, the wall that the kobold had crashed into exploded outward with stone shards, fragments hurtling in every direction. The lizard, now brimming with renewed blood lust, charged towards him.

But it wasn't Alexander waiting for him anymore.
