Alex did not delay after realizing what Odin was up to and swiftly used the 'Arcane Trance' skill to elevate his time perception and mind clarity as he rushed forth using the void walk, but Thor and Balder were standing, ready to lay down their life to give their guild leader the time needed to execute the skill.
Now that the skill was activated, Alex needed to kill Odin to stop it, and while if it was aimed at him, he just needed to get out of the attacking range to make the skill useless, but he knew better than to believe Odin would even consider using it on him.
Alex knew the skill would take a few seconds to complete, so he closed the distance and delivered multiple quick slashes at the duo protecting Odin, each energy slash carrying strength similar to peak fifth Rank attacks followed by a darkness blast at close range.
