Gacha Sovereign
chapter-761

"Start!"

Alex's and Chavel's eyes flashed as both of them leaped toward each other with their weapons clashed against each other.

"I am going to make my move first." Chavel smiled. Suddenly, a gust of wind brushed her hair before a tornado appeared out of nowhere. And both Alex and Chavel were in the tornado's eyes, surrounded by the sharp wind that had been covered with Chavel's Spear Intent.

It seemed that the tornado would rip them to shreds if they forcefully escaped from this tornado.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and saw the energy flow. Behind the huge grey tornado were a few energy balls, ready to shoot something toward him.

"Tornado Prison!" She grinned as those balls released arrow-shaped attacks from all directions. It penetrated the tornado and headed toward Alex.

"…" Alex had no change of expression during this moment as if he already knew they were coming. Even Chavel got slightly surprised by Alex's conduct. Although it was one of the weakest attacks of her, she always used it to check the opponent's level.

If they were calm like Alex, she usually needed to run away because something was bound to happen from such a guy. However, she couldn't do it this time. The only thing she could do was to defeat him. Hence, she used another technique on top of this technique.

"Wind Thrust!" The wind energy around her gathered around her spear tip before she shifted her stance and thrust her spear.

Alex smiled as he waved his sword and spear, blowing Chavel's spear away.

"Heaven Light Slash!"

"Kh!" Chavel gritted her teeth, feeling the extra strength inside Alex's body. Even though he was only a 2-Star Martial Saint, his strength was comparable to those of 4-Star Saints. But it didn't mean she was planning to lose just like this.

She utilized the power of her dragon to stop Alex from moving before using her Dragon Strengthening Technique to overpower him.

Alex saw this and activated his Dragon Aura, startling Chavel and Choong Duy with such a majestic view. And yet the time for him to release his other move had come. Alex smiled again and stomped the ground with more strength, gathering the Spiritual Energy around.

"Spirit Step!"

This technique allowed him to increase his strength even further. Although it wasn't that big, it was still enough for him to beat Chavel in strength.

"!!!" Choong Duy and Chavel were shocked. Chavel was the proud Dragon Race. Her strength was second to none due to that powerful body, and yet, Alex suppressed her completely. They couldn't comprehend.

Even so, Chavel didn't let her guard down as she only needed to wait for the attack coming to Alex that was only a few meters away from Alex.

At this time, the arrow-shaped attacks stopped mid-air as if something was there, and they couldn't penetrate it.

Chavel and Choong Duy realized this kind of energy and widened their eyes. "Space Element! And this technique is Space Plate!"

After knowing what happened to the Space Element wielders, they thought it was impossible to see another Space Element in this world again, but Alex just destroyed that expectation. No wonder why he wanted them to keep it secret. The whole world would target him if he didn't have enough protection.

"That's that. I still need to fight this battle with all my strength, or the tradition will become invalid." Chavel shook her head and removed her spear from Alex before clapping her hand.

More and more the previous attacks were created outside the tornado. Alex didn't say anything and simply pointed his finger toward the tornado, sending a small Pure Fire toward it.

As one would expect, the tornado became a fire tornado in an instant.

"You have two elements? Wait! That's not important." Chavel shook her head as she found Alex used his strength weirdly. "This is only giving me an advantage. Fire won't be able to burn wind, and I will use it against you. Prepare yourself!"

Alex shook his head, telling her she was wrong. "Fire indeed can't burn wind, albeit everything has an exception."

"!!!" Chavel recognized his main element and gasped. "Don't tell me! You have—"

Before she finished her words, the flame tornado seemed to get smaller and smaller before it was reduced to nothing.

"Pure Fire!" Chavel and Choong Duy exclaimed in shock. They never thought that he would have these two elements at the same time. Although the Space Element looked artificial, they didn't question because they felt how strong the elements were.

"Two elements and this strength… Haiz, my Ancient Blue Family is not fated with such a person." Choong Duy shook his head in disappointment. "Anyway, it seems that the current era will be revolving around this little guy until he reaches God Stage."

On the other hand, Chavel had a different feeling. Her smile became even bigger as if she became excited. "Good, Good! This is what the Younger Generation should have! I like you, so I will release all my strength from the start!"

The wind started surrounding Chavel's body, creating a wind armor that covered her whole body except her head. Looking at this, Alex didn't hesitate to stop her by thrusting both weapons.

Chavel simply smiled and clashed with him. Although this technique couldn't enhance her strength, it was able to improve her agility, so she had no problem in keeping up with Alex… At least until she found something odd in Alex's technique.

"This… You brat. You dare to use a weapon breaking technique on me?" Chavel smirked, excited to see what kind of surprise Alex would bring after this.

Alex learned this Weapon Consuming Technique long ago. Unfortunately, his opponents were rarely strong enough for him to use this technique. There was simply no need to use such a technique because they would die before the need to use it.

Chavel was different. Her strength and technique were on a whole different level. To beat her, he might need to use this technique.

Albeit, Chavel seemed to understand this technique's principle, allowing her to repel this attack without her weapon taking any damage.

"Since you are like this… Don't blame me for taking this even further!" Chavel roared as her aura raised. Her round green eyes slowly shrank into sharp eyes like those found in dragons. "I will show you why I could become a Dragon God!"

Alex tried to see through this technique with his Spirit Eyes, wondering if he could copy such a technique to let Sherry or the others learn it.

"Beast Fusion Technique! First Gate!"

"!!!" Alex suddenly noticed the sudden flash from his right side. He instinctively slashed toward it, but suddenly he was blown away.

"Now that I think about this, I can give you this technique." An idea flashed in her mind before she deliberately increased her cultivation to 3-Star Martial Saint. "I will give you this technique if you can beat me when I am in this stage."

"What is the advantage of the technique?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

"You say the former phoenix queen is with you, right?"

"Yes."

"If she learns this technique, she will be able to stimulate her strength even further by fusing the Spiritual Energy to her body. This is the only technique that allows me to best my husband."

"I still can't understand… But it looks impressive." Alex nodded.

"It's simply the fusion. We have our original form, but we will lose our human form if we transform into that form. Hence, I created a technique to utilize our original form's full strength and fuse it into our human form. You can say that this technique is able to increase my power by half."

"Oh?!" Alex narrowed his eyes. 'One and a half times stronger… That is tempting.'

"The principle is to fuse our Spiritual Energy to our flesh. Just like what I did earlier, I used the first gate out of three gates in this technique. The first gate only gives me twenty percent of my current power, and if you notice, my eyes have turned into dragon eyes.

"If I use the second or third gate, my limbs will start to transform into that of a dragon along with my wind in the third gate. Even if we can show a part of that, isn't it the best to utilize it rather than having it as a decoration? That was the inspiration I had when creating this technique.

"However, it doesn't stop there. It also increases your control in your element, allowing you to fight a higher level without a problem. I choose my spear to combine this technique since it suits my style. As for your phoenixes, they need to search for their own style after mastering this technique? How do you say that?"

Alex contemplated for a moment. 'The technique might be useful to Sherry as well. If the effect is like this, I should accept this challenge…'

"It seems you have come to a decision." Chavel smirked as she raised her strength even further.

"Beast Fusion Technique! Second Gate!"

"Third Gate!"

"3-Star Martial Saint!" Since Alex had agreed, Chavel also increased her strength by a star.

As she explained earlier, her limbs indeed changed as her wing flapped.

Alex took a deep breath, not wanting to lose.

"Dragon Aura!"

"Phoenix Aura!"

"Spirit Step!"

Alex also had several power-ups. First, he increased his strength with Dragon Aura and Spirit Step before covering his body with Phoenix Aura, just like how Chavel used her wind as body armor.

He also released his Absolute Blade Intent, suppressing her Spear Intent.

"What is this?!" Chavel was stunned. She never saw an intent swallow another intent unless they had a huge gap. They should be on the same level and would only clash against each other. However, Alex's intent seemed to be different than the norm. Looking at his spear and sword, she suddenly realized something. "You! You have fused your intents! Interesting!"

Chavel didn't hesitate and charged at Alex, trading blow after blow with Alex.

It was at this particular time that Alex learned Chavel's movements.

"Kh! Her strength is obviously on par with mine. It seems I lack something to be at a disadvantage like this…" Alex realized that no matter how hard he fought back, Chavel managed to move one step ahead of him.

"This is instinct. Every monster has this kind of instinct. Its effect… I don't think I need to tell you about it, right?" Chavel smiled, kept attacking him with her spear.

'True enough. If I am not wrong, this instinct allows her to predict my movement. I see. This is the reason why she moves one step ahead of me. She simply knows what I am going to do as if she sees the future. Of course, it's not at that level… It's closer to a level of prediction.' Alex thought while defending himself against these relentless attacks.

"I am sure that you can get used to this kind of attack pattern if you have enough time. But who is so foolish to let their opponents get used to it?" Chavel roared as she pressured Alex even more, trying to create a gap in his defense.

Alex also noticed that his speed slowly decreased as his reaction speed became slower and slower as time passed.

"If you don't have anything to escape from this situation, you will lose!" Chavel grinned as if she was planning to end it here.

'It seems I have no choice.' Alex sighed inwardly. Since the people here wouldn't say anything about what happened here, it should be fine to use it.

"Spirit Crown!" Alex smirked as a golden crown appeared above his head, enhancing his Spirit Step for a split second and increasing its efficacy.

"That crown…!" Obviously, the two recognized this technique since they were the same generation as Shakdi and the rest. There was no way they wouldn't be able to recognize the crown that their benefactor wore. "Spirit God's Spirit Crown."

Even though she was surprised, Chavel had yet to loosen her strength even a tiny bit. And yet Alex's strength seemed to have grown stronger than expected. With her mind reacting a bit too late, Alex blew her a few hundred meters away.

"Who says that I have lost?"
