Doomsday Pillars

It turned out that Alex was not joking, he would represent this final betting match.

Alex walked forward step by step. Alex’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations, his wife Devita was also shocked so she didn’t have time to hold Alex back from fighting.

Alex was a 36-year-old man who looked very ordinary. Many people didn’t expect that Alex was a fighter, even many of the members of the special forces had never seen him fight. His wife Devita had seen Alex fight against Jerry, the first spirit enhancer who was also the head of the Black Snake gang. Devita had seen Alex’s abilities but maybe either because Alex’s opponent this time was a special force or maybe because she didn’t get used to see this side of her husband ... she felt like she didn’t know her husband. Was this man really her husband?

Rama walked over to Alex.

"Alex, let me fight ..."

"Rama, I see that you have achieved a new breakthrough in your fire spirit enhancer skill as well, but you may not be able to defeat this man. Keep your eyes close watch on it."

Rama, the most talented martial arts fighter in his generation, looked very obedient listening to Alex’s words. He shortly returned to his position.

The Admiral had read some information about Alex from Kenny the CIA agent who was standing next to him. Before all the disasters of the end of the world, things that happened to Kenny back in Singapore made him do a lot of research about Alex.

The massacre of Japan assassins (ninja) and the Somali pirates on the coast of Singapore. Another Information gathered from Professor John about Alex’s actions against secret organizations in Mexico. Also some information which Alex managed to defeat one of Indonesia’s strongest special forces Deathsquad, the whole platoon all by himself.

Although the latest information had never been proven because the secrecy from the organisation, moreover this was something that was so embarrassing for them. At the end, the CIA reports conclude that Alex was a capable fighter.

These two men, Alex and Nathanael, were now standing before each other.

"Barehanded fight?"

Nathanael asked about it because he did not want this fight to be unfair, he was willing to take off his weapon to fight against Alex barehanded. But right after his words left his mouth, all of a sudden the ring in Alex’s left hand flashed a light and soon 2 Japanese katana swords were there in Alex’s grasp.

This scene once again made the admiral more and more convinced of the importance of his mission to bring Alex back. This man seemed to have a lot of end-time mystery.

"Interesting Magic," said Nathanael

"It’s not a magic, it’s just a low level artifact, not less than yours"

Alex spoke with a smile but Nathanael did not understand what Alex was talking about

"Let’s get started ... Get ready" Nathanael directly moved forward to attack Alex.

Clank! Clank!

Nathanael’s attack was as quick as a flash. Swing the axe from the left and thrust of his knife from the right. His both hands were like having their respective goals. The attacks were quite unpredictable. Alex, with his two katanas, fended off and also counterattacked.

Swisshhh !!!

Clank!!

After 10 attacks or so, the two fighters were there face to face and the four weapons collided. At this time, they both were attacking and pushing each other with their strength and power. Both were fighters with realm mortal skill at peak level. But this time Alex’s opponent was a spirit enhancer. Not too long, he was bounced a few meters back.

Nathaniel looked displeased ... Aside his opponent’s ability to use a sword that was quite well established, the speed of attack and the strength of the person he was fighting was no great shakes. Far from his expectations.

"It’s all you can do?, bring out your real abilities"

"I’m sorry I need to warm up a bit, thank you for not being too harsh"

Alex took a deep breath, one foot stepped forward, this time with one sword in front in a position ready to parry and one drawing backward. Alex formed a stance that he had mastered for years. Hexagram Steps. A middle-level skill he got from Doomsday Pillar in his previous life. Alex also started to emit the Hexagram breathing technique and soon he felt energy flowing throughout his body.

Alex looked at Nathaniel ready to attack

"Now you can also use your real abilities, please"

Alex realized that Nathanael was also just playing around before. Now it’s time to be more serious. He wondered whether the hexagram technique could confront the peak level mortal realm combat enhancer.

Nathanael once again moved to attack, this time his footsteps seemed to drift.

With the hexagram breathing technique, Alex’s strength and speed was doubled. Alex began to show his skills using both katanas.

Clank!! Clank!!

Swish!! Swish!!

Clank!!

Ten attacks collided, up to twenty attacks. This time their attack speed exceeded the previous fighter’s battle, some spectators who were not accustomed to see the battle could not follow the direction of the attack, only when the attack had landed on Alex’s katana sword or Nathanael’s small blade and axe, then their figure was clearly visible

Following every sound, Devita who could not follow the direction of the fight started to feel her heart was beating very fast. Her husband was currently fighting with sharp objects, one mistake could threaten his life.

Clank!! Clank!!

Every sound was like stealing a second from her breath. Everyone would subconsciously took a deep breath when they felt very worried. It happened because when people were in a depressed condition, without realizing, their breathing rhythm became unstable. Every worry could take a second or two of breath so they’re forced to sigh excessively.

At this time Devita realized things that seemed to be forgotten for a long period of time, it’s the sense of concern for her husband. Ever since they got married, Alex was a family man. He was very diligent at work and there was no activity his wife didn’t know, so Devita always felt secure. But since the end of time arrived until now he seemed unable to understand Alex at all. Worries slowly filled her heart ...

Swisshhh!

CRACCKK !!

One of Alex’s katana swords was destroyed and Alex was immediately hit by a backlash in the form of a direct kick from his opponent directly to his chest.

THUMP !!

Alex bounced a few meters back, this time Alex looks in pain. Devita was immediately startled!!!

"STOPP !!"

Alex looked at Devita with a smile. He grasped the remaining katana with both hands and resumed his attacking, swinging the katana at the opponent in front of him ..

SWISSH !! SWISSH !!

Ten attacks, twenty attacks. They returned to each other back and parry. Only this time everyone began to realize the speed of Nathanael’s attack gradually getting faster. It seemed that Alex was increasingly overwhelmed following the flow..

Nathanael was a wind spirit enhancer, the same as the Jerry. Almost all of spirit enhancers, when they successfully reached a breakthrough and manage their latent abilities, would get special abilities.

There are four basic elements in life: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.

The Wind spirit enhancer, the expertise gained was related to the speed of movement.

The Earth spirit enhancer was related to endurance of the body

The Water spirit enhancer was related to the body’s senses, an increase in reflex speed and concentration.

The Fire spirit enhancer was related to the power of attack or explosion of energy in the body.

While the other four elements; Metal, Plants, Lightning and Ice were secondary elements which were a combination of two basic elements. Fire and Earth formed Metal, Earth and Water formed Plants, Water and Wind formed Ice, and finally, Wind and Fire formed Lightning. As for spirit enhancer skills, the Psychic, the Shadow, and the Gravity, they were on different levels. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Alex’s opponent this time was a Wind spirit enhancer. It had meaning that his special ability was focused on his speed. Alex saw his opponent could run like a bat out of hell. His hands movements were very fast. The Hexagram step indeed had a unique leg movements so it could avoid many of Nathanael’s attacks but their speed was getting wider in gap.

SWISH !! SWISH !!

Bit by bit Nathanael’s knife and small axe were able to scratch and injure Alex’s body ... blood began to emerge all over Alex’s body and finally he was cornered.

SWISSSHHH !!!

This time Nathanael attacked right on Alex’s leg using his small axe, not to slash but he pulled by prying his opponent’s leg. Alex lost his balance and fell to the ground ...

ARRGGH !!

Nathanael did not stop there. Like a hunter who was ready to pounce on his prey, he continued his attack. The half a meter combat knife struck towards Alex who had fallen to the floor. Alex was forced to immediately fend off with his Katana sword.

CLANK !!

The imperfect and rushed rebuttal, even though Alex managed to block the attack and pushed Nathanael back, made Alex’s Katana sword bounced away.

After being crashed a few steps away, Nathanael was ready to attack one more time but seeing Alex’s body full of blood and Alex no longer holding a weapon, he suddenly stopped. With a smile he said.

"I admit that you are a great warrior ... But you will not be able to defeat me"

Admiral Gerard looks very happy

"We won!!"
