"How intriguing! Although you only have a little understanding about space. That attack! no! that art of mine! could even cut through space, even those who have a good understanding about it. However, it couldn't cut through you, I guess that weird skill of yours involves of way higher understanding of space than I can currently handle ."
Even though Scáthach was surprised, she quickly calmed down she was already experienced enough to know that there were so many unique things in the world.
"You think? Maybe? Still, do you have time to talk about this?, 3 seconds left Little Scathy." Alex said with a huge grin. He also think that the [Dimensional-World] involves a higher realm of understanding of the space laws. But, it seems the System has it's own way.
"I do not believe you can use that indefinitely! 3 seconds is enough!." Scáthach said, her speed didn't slow down at all. But, as she was about to rush towards him.
Her expression change, if those other immortals who knows her well look at her right now, they wouldn't believe that it was Scáthach at all. Scáthach looked frightened, she was intimidated. It was only for an instant, before she then compose herself. She would not be called the God Slayer if she can't calm down and compose herself.
Alex, even though he had dodge all of her attacks, her killing intent still couldn't make him compose himself. He activated his [Manifestation of Killing Intent] with a goal to at least ease Scáthach's killing intent.
Right after he activated his skill. He was baffled, of course Scáthach looking frightened for an instant couldn't escape his eyes. This was the time that that he noticed something that even he himself was shocked. His killing intent that was oozing from his body is so overwhelming. This intent is who knows how many times stronger than Scáthach's killing intent.
He already planned to use his [Fortification Barrier] after easing her killing intent. He knows that at her first strike he couldn't dodge her, that's why he already bought the [Fortification Barrie] up ahead. As he knows that after he dodge the first strike he can block the second one and so on...
His [Dimensional-World] he can use it for every 10 seconds, that's why he can't dodge her like last time. His hope would be to block her. But now, all of this wasn't needed at all. Scáthach didn't even quickly rush towards him as she was wary of him.
This is all because of his overwhelming killing intent. Although it didn't affect Scáthach that much because she was covered by her own killing intent, still, just gazing at the aura of his killing intent would make one look terrified.
Beings so big that even Islands couldn't even hope to compare. Scáthach looked all of this beings with different feature screaming in their deaths, especially how they were killed at their last moments. Their cries of pain, grief, hatred, and other more negative emotions is shown.
...
Alex first time using his [Manifestation of Killing Intent] that already change like this was when he used it against the Scythe. He didn't notice it before because his attention was on both of his woman, Catherine and Eva, at that time, more like just at this morning.
Alex when he used his [Manifestation of Killing Intent] this morning before he was promoted to Celestial, his killing intent was nothing like this. However, when the moment he got promoted to Celestial, it's as if something was unleashed and have break through it's restraints.
The moment he used his [Manifestation of Killing Intent] after becoming a Celestial. His Killing intent changed, it was so great that his killing intent before doesn't even qualify to compare to his newly profound killing intent.
This was also the thing that helped him the most to surprise the Scythe. Alex had a huge misunderstanding, thinking that having two principles will surprise the Scythe. Although it seemed that the Scythe was surprised but it isn't enough for it to let it's guard down. Also the Scythe never let it's guard down for a moment, it was as if it willingly stop itself.
All of this was still a mystery to him. Even acquiring this kind of killing intent was still a mystery, for now.
...
If you want a comparison between Scáthach and Alex's killing intent. it would be that if Scáthach's killing intent stretched for hundreds of miles away. While Alex's killing intent was way on a whole other level, his killing intent almost filled half of the Land of Shadows itself.
Every being in the Land of Shadows could feel his aura, some weaker ones almost even died for just being exposed of his killing intent.
The remaining Undead Kings shivered. Luckily for them the killing intent was not directed at them. They were just collateral damage as Alex didn't even meant to let them get caught on the range of his aura.
If even Alex couldn't even breathe before because Scàthach's killing intent, much them being exposed by his aura that was way more above Scàthach's.
Every being in the Land of Shadows felt that 'Death' itself is staring at them, levelling their life and death.
The undead people, being so far away from Alex and they already felt that kind of feeling. They would be screaming on how unfair it is if they knew that when Alex first used this kind of killing intent.
The people above the underground, and the people that is thousands of thousands of miles away, that would supposedly get caught on the aura's range didn't feel anything at all.
Even Catherine and Eva at that time didn't feel this much of intent. Well, the reason for that will be explained another time. But, it was closely related to the Scythe.
...
"I would have not think that you would have this massive of killing intent. Just how many have you killed? No! it's impossible! Even if you started killing way long before you were born, no one would have this kind of intent. Just what is this?." Scàthach got puzzled
"Hehe, that's why little Scathy just give up, and be my woman. Alex smiled
"Humph! You think that this would make me give up? Your dreaming!. Scàthach said but her smile was so sadistic. She was excited, she wanted a fight.
Scàthach almost have forgotten of the thrill that a life and death battle would give. As a natural born warrior she always wanted to fight. But, thousands of years being in the Land of Shadows numbed her down.
There were no strong enemies left for her to face. Now, facing this killing intent made her blood boil. She was up for a fight. The killing intent fueled her fighting spirit.
She was so happy inside. It was as if several emotions filled her body. She wanted no more than to start fighting. So, with haste she wanted to dash forward. She couldn't wait anymore.
Alex also felt her emotion.
"Say, I hate to break it up to you Little Scathy but time is up!." Alex said while grinning widely.
"..."
Hearing those words was as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head. It was as if all of those feelings, her fighting spirit was all for nothing. She got excited for nothing.
'Sigh* This is the longest minute in my whole life.'
(A/N: Just one minute of a fight took me so many chapters. 😁😁😁😁)
