Gacha Sovereign
chapter-309

They continued to clash around the arena. And every time they clashed, they made a little crater on the ground because of their power. But after a minute, Alex started suppressing Hannibal.

The only reason he could start suppressing him was because the more time passed, the more Hannibal lost his power.

Even though Alex kept trading blows with Hannibal. He never got serious as he just wanted to let him exhaust himself after a while. After all, this fight was not the same as his fight with Intan. He did not need to prove something.

Of course, Hannibal also knew Alex's intention. From Alex's blow alone, he knew Alex was not seriously fighting him. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fight me seriously if you are a man."

"…" Alex was speechless. He could not understand this guy. After all, he had been seriously fighting him. "I have been fighting you seriously. The purpose of this battle is to win, so I just do everything I need to win."

"You-!" He wanted to rebuke him, but it was truly as he said. The battle's original purpose was to win. Yesterday's matter made him forget about that.

Alex continued clashing with Hannibal until the effect of Frenzied Berserker wore off. Alex immediately ended the match by pointing his sword on his neck because after the effect wore off, Hannibal was too tired to move his body.

"Alexander Sirius Wins!"

Alex asked him if he needed help, but Hannibal shook his head and dragged his body down the stage. Alex then came back to Charya's room. Because the others were still in Song Yu's house, he was the only one in the room. He did not know what to do, so he just watched the match until his turn came again.

He noticed a few disciples that were going to be his opponent later. The first one was Kokonoe Shigure, his next opponent. Alex was surprised to see his fighting style. It was the legendary Japanese Ninja.

He threw many hidden weapons while using his Ninja Katana. Unfortunately, the katana did not have any curves. And his concealed weapons were only throwing knives or needles. Alex thought whether he should introduce him to a brand' new world'… Nah, he was not too bored to do that.

The second person he noticed was Vicky, the fifth place in Battle Tower Ranking. The other two were the 2nd and 3rd, Eric Kasmanan and Florinda.

Vicky had long yellow hair, and he seemed to glance at Alex from time to time with hatred. Alex did not understand why this guy possessed a hatred toward him, but he marked this man inside his heart. He should be cautious when fighting him later.

As for Florinda, she was a beautiful lady, indeed. But Alex could only feel a cold aura from her. He did not know whether this Florinda was trying to be aloof, or it was her personality.

The last one was Eric. After losing his family, Eric became cold and brutal. His opponents often got many injuries when he fought him. He wanted to release his hatred, but he did not know who killed his family.

He wanted to finish this tournament as soon as possible, so he could get resources to get stronger. The one who massacred his family should be much stronger than him. So, he would destroy anyone who was on his way to receive the reward from winning the tournament.

He did not care about Alex or whatsoever. If Alex came to his way, he would defeat him.

Alex continued watching the matches. His turn came before he knew it. After all, he had gone through many fights from Himura Minami to Hannibal. And because of Putri's incident, he forgot that he would fight Kokonoe Shigure in the quarterfinal. In other words, he had been in the top eight.

"Alexander Sirius versus Kokonoe Shigure." The third elder announced as the audiences cheered upon hearing Alex's name.

Alex had become the number one disciple in their heart after showing his prowess when fighting Intan. He did not care about it, though.

He looked at the 'Ninja' in front of him. Sadly, he did not wear full black clothes that covered everything except his eyes. Instead, he was wearing stylish clothes that made him cool and handsome. The clothes really suited his handsome face and orange hair.

He reminded Alex about Nelson. He somehow got disappointed by his appearance. Luckily, this guy did not speak anything as they just nodded at the third elder so he could announce it.

"Match Start!"

As soon as the match started, Kokonoe Shigure immediately threw his hidden weapons toward him. Of course, after he watched his match, Alex already activated his Spirit Eyes. In his Spirit Eyes, the concealed weapons flew toward him at a pretty low speed.

He avoided them and took out twenty real swords from his Space Ring. The swords started chasing the Kokonoe Shigure alone.

"This is the first time I have seen someone who is so powerful even though you are only an 8-Star Martial Grandmaster. You are forcing me to use the hidden technique of Shigure Clan, so be prepared." Kokonoe Shigure finally spoke.

"What?"

"There are five Kokonoe Shigure?"

"No way?"

"What is this technique?"

"I never saw anything like this."

"There must only be one that is real. But from the aura alone, we won't know which one is real."

Alex was furrowing his eyebrows as Kokonoe Shigure suddenly split into five. Alex was surprised to see that. He could not help but comment in his heart, "It was a clone technique, he must be a ninja. He said about a clan, right? That clan must be a ninja clan. Just use a freaking Kunai and Shuriken, you dumb*ss."

He looked at clones that were produced by Kokonoe Shigure. Surprisingly, the clone also held a huge amount of energy that made it hard to differentiate. Unfortunately, he was fighting Alex. His Spirit Eyes noticed the difference between each clone.

They may have the same appearance and a good amount of energy that made them pretty real. But with Alex's Spirit Eyes, he could see the difference between each body. Alex could see among these five bodies, there was one that had immeasurable energy.

He split his twenty swords and let them chase those five bodies. Alex also raised the sword on his hand and targeted one of the clones. Kokonoe Shigure made a small smile because he knew Alex could not find the difference.

Unfortunately, Alex was only faking him.

"Seven Stars Cut."

Alex swung his sword down. From others' perspectives, Alex was trying to send his Sword Wave toward Kokonoe Shigure (Clone). But to their surprise, when he swung his sword down, no Sword Wave flew out of his sword. Instead, Alex surprised them with his swing.

He swung the sword down, but it did not stop there. He continued to swing it and make a whole circle. And when the sword was swinging on his back, the Seven Stars Cut finally flew out of his sword.

The sword wave flew toward another Kokonoe Shigure.

"What?" Kokonoe Shigure was surprised by Alex's sudden move. He tried to block it with his sword.

"Haaa!" He used all power inside his body to block this surprise move but to no avail.

"Boom!" Because of the force and his unpreparedness, the sword wave blew him to the wall. And after that, the other four 'Kokonoe Shigure' started to disappear. It turned out the one that Alex struck was the real Kokonoe Shigure.

All of them wanted to think Alex was just lucky. But they could not think like that because of Alex's move. If he struck the one in his front with a Sword Wave and was lucky enough to strike the right one, they might be able to believe.

But when Alex attacked him with Seven Stars Cut. He did not release it to Kokonoe's figure in his front. Instead, he let the sword make a full swing to the bottom and continued swinging it toward his back before releasing the Seven Stars Cut.

It was like he knew which one was the real Kokonoe Shigure. Even Kokonoe Shigure was surprised when he took the blow.

Alex immediately appeared in front of him and pointed his sword on the surprised Kokonoe Shigure.

"Alexander Sirius Wins!"

"…" This time, the people did not cheer. In fact, they could not as this was a shocking event. After all, in their perspectives, all those five were real, or at least, that's what they felt.

"You… How do you know?" Kokonoe Shigure asked with a dumbfounded look. He forgot he was still stuck in the wall.

Alex looked at him. After a little pause, he stored back his sword and said, "Nothing can escape my eyes."

He then left the arena, leaving the dumbfounded 'Ninja' alone stuck there.

Since he had finished his fights for today, he decided to go back to his house. But before he reached his sword, Putri came out of Song Yu's house and met him.

Alex looked at her cultivation and was surprised that she had a breakthrough to 10-Star Martial Grandmaster.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough," Alex said.

"It is thanks to Master's wine," Putri said humbly.

Alex twitched his eyebrows. He was still not used to being called 'Master,' especially if it was coming from his Senior Sister. He chose to ignore it for the time being since Putri was considering his future matter. He thought she would act normally again after some time.

"Well, I originally intended to enjoy the wine, but was surprised by the wine's efficacy."

"But thanks to it, I broke through to 10-Star Martial Grandmaster. Senior Sister Song Yu and Master Charya would also have a breakthrough. But they might need more time. It was crazy for Evelyn. She managed to advance to 4-Star Martial Grandmaster and will soon have another breakthrough to 5-Star Martial Grandmaster.

"I just came out of the cultivation because I made the breakthrough first, and the energy suddenly got sucked entirely."

"Then, that is good. Sadly for Martial Grandmaster, you might not be able to have the wine again or at least for a month. Or there will be a backlash in your body." Alex said.

"Disciple does not dare. It is already a blessing to receive such a wine." Putri said.

"…" Alex sighed as he truly could not get used to such a situation. He decided to change the topic. "Give me your rank 5 spear since you would not be able to use them anymore."

Putri did not know why Alex asked that. But it was as he said, she could not use it anymore. Hence, she immediately took out the spear from her space ring and handed it to Alex. Of course, she used her wind to hand it to Alex since she could not touch it. Alex also understood this.

Alex then stored the rank 5 spear before taking out a rank 5 sword. It was a rank 5 blue colored sword. "Since you can't use a spear anymore. This rank 5 sword would be the replacement for your rank 5 spear."

Her eyes widened. She did not mind giving the rank 5 spear to Alex for nothing. After all, she got that spear because Alex knew the way to Zwaka's palace. Because of that, she received a reward of rank 5 spear. She could not help but move.

Alex then took out another two swords to her. It was a rank 3 green colored sword and a rank 4 golden-colored sword. Putri was confused as to why Alex gave her these two swords.

"Well, using a rank 5 sword might be a little bit too eye-catching. So, for the time being, you can use these two swords depending on the occasion and use the rank 5 sword for the trump card." Alex said.

She was taken aback. To think Alex was doing all this for her. "I gratefully accept. Master is really good to me."

"Do not talk politely like that. Just talk like Elder Charya. It is easier to talk like that. And I am not a good person, I am just careful." Alex said. He was a careful person. By giving those two swords to her, she should not attract too much attention. After all, even he also used a rank 3 Sword at the moment.
