He quickly got on his feet and raced towards the falling mutated beast, jumping off the ground as he delivered a powerful right-hand uppercut! Consuming the rest of its health in one go!
DING!
[Congratulation to Scourge for winning]
With the notification, the entire arena went crazy as people cheered. The strength Scourge showcased right now only proved that he was slightly inferior to Alex Briggs, who is the only student who also won his fight. This meant he is on par with the other members of the Big four, if not greater!
While people cheered, Alex was on his knees, breathing heavily. He felt like he was mentally drained just by using the gravity manipulation on the wolf threat level beast! He wondered how powerful the other beasts in higher threat levels are and what was more annoying was that the lightning wolf beast is considered average amongst the wolf threat level beasts. The truth is that Lightning wolves move in packs of five to six, meaning they would still die if they encounter these beasts in real life.
Alex hated the fact that he is so weak compared to the mutated beast and his respect for the Hunters grew even more. While the guardians stay within the walls of the country playing hero, the hunters are outside keeping the country safe from the shadows. All the territories regained by the united states are because of the hunters who put their lives on the line!
In his opinion, they are the true heroes!
"Hello, I am Zero of the Hall family… A member of the God set, I offer you…"
"Not interested!" Alex replied with a hint of annoyance in his tone as he quickly logged off and his figure vanished!
The entire hall turned silent!
People saw the God set approaching Scourge and they already knew what was going on in their mind! The Hall is a new family and one of the newest members of the BIG FOUR who only rose to power by uniting the strongest members of the Deviants and creating even stronger offsprings. They focused on inbreeding and only dated deviants outside with outstanding abilities to make sure their offspring would be as good or at least better than them! So it is not a surprise that the family would try to rope in someone as outstanding as Scourge who possesses two deviant abilities!
What was more surprising was how the Scourge replied nonchalantly and even logged off before giving them time to respond. It showed he had zero regard for a prominent family like the Halls and this made them even more excited!
A rough vigilante who stands up against the rich and powerful to protect the weak! Such stories can only be found in books and web novels but right now it is happening right before their eyes!
The entire room was silent and only Silver's laughter could be heard. Zero flashed his cold gaze at Silver before logging off alongside other members of the God set meanwhile Tristan was just too stunned by what he saw today to act.

Alex stepped out of the gaming pod in his underground training chamber while rubbing his temple. Just as he expected, he is completely fine and the piercing headache is gone just as soon as he left the game. The game cannot help someone improve their proficiency but it can be used to practice. In the end, it only reduces the risks of training but in reality, only through countless life and death situations does the true potential of a person emerge!
At least that's what Alex believed.
After everything that has happened today, Alex concluded that he should be able to deal with a single lightning wolf in the real world. If he should combine all his abilities, including the matter absorption, he should be able to hold his own against two lightning wolves but the real question is;
How long will he last?
Will he survive the encounter?
He had zero faith that he can win against such a beast alone!
Alex didn't dwell in his thoughts for too long and he continued training his abilities, unaware of the waves his two identities are making in the academy right now!
In a well lit up room with high-quality cushions, expensive delicacies, and expensive wine, three students walked in, only to meet a white-haired older student eating. Gazing out of the window, one could see the beautiful night lights littered across the military academy, making them remember the old days before the coming of the blue meteorites.
The white-haired student had curly hair with a black undercut by the sides. He wore a white tuxedo and his left ear was pierced, with a white earring and a cross pendant dangling freely. If one could look well, under his collar was a tattoo belonging to members of the Tyrant gang! His eyes were kind and he wore a friendly smile, yet the three students dared not look him in the eye.
They seemed terrified and for some reason, they occasionally trembled!
"Welcome friends, it's nice seeing you all again" The man in white said calmly as he played with the glass of red wine in his hands.
"We apologize Mr. White! The Scourge only appears at night and at places which are least expected! It seems as if he knows what we are doing and when we are doing it! That's why he strikes at our weakest points and leaves before anyone capable can stop him!" One of the students fell on his knees and begged while the others fell on their knees as well!
Mr white sipped the wine in silence while he listened to them, occasionally nodding.
"I don't blame you for what happened, you don't have to be afraid… After what happened today even I suspect Scourge has a powerful backer, probably a member of the big four! That's why he dared to ignore the god sets kindness… The question is who?" Mr White said calmly with a kind smile!
