As Alex eyed the reddened abomination in front of him with his wooden sword in hand, he couldn't help but recall the prowess the monster had shown in the past minutes. He estimated the speed and strength it showed was on par, or even exceeded himself, who was a high stage Sky realm fighter.
Alex saw how the tier 3 weapon artifacts of the other fighters were not that effective against the monster's thick, root-covered skin. Fortunately, Alex had Stroke, a tier 5 artifact.
However, even though he had enhanced Stroke with the [Fire Infusion] spell which increased its lethality, Alex was still amazed at how much effort he needed to spend in order to cut the hand of the monster.
