The leader of the sea demon had underestimated Alec’s resilience and fighting ability, as humans typically didn’t have an advantage against other races especially ones with unique racial talents, so the leader was taken aback.
As throughout their battle, Alec showed no signs of fatigue, almost as if he possessed an endless reserve of stamina, adding to the leader’s astonishment, Alec’s skin proved impervious to a Tier 5 attack even as a Tier 4 Mage, an extraordinary feat for a human as no Tier 5 human would try taking hiss attacks head on without no armour on.
Secretly, the leader hoped that this might all be a hallucination, but the sight of Alec’s determined and intense gaze, despite the numerous cuts and flowing blood o his skin, dispelled any doubt, and he realised this was undeniably real.
