Alex was surprised at seeing the sickle, but the man was still only in the Muscle tempering realm, so he had no worries. He simply walked forward with his sword and started swinging it randomly.
He wanted to see how one would fight with a sickle in this case. The man swung his sickle in a simple manner, which Alex easily dodge. The man once more brought back the sickle the other way around, which Alex once more dodged easily.
But, on the third swing, something weird happened. Suddenly, as the man was swinging, the sickle left in hand and flew past Alex. 'Did he make a mistake?' But before Alex could even think of a reason, the sickle immediately flew back, targeting the back of his head.
Thankfully, Alex had spiritual sense so he could see what was happening even behind him. He simply ducked as the sickle was about to attack him.
