The two crescent blades stabbed into his chest.
However, no blood flowed from Negut's chest, nor did the blades pierce his chest as Alec had imagined.
Instead, the blades striking Negut's chest produced a sound like metal clashing against metal, accompanied by a shower of sparks.
"What?!" Alec was inwardly shocked. He knew that these crescent blades could cut through a large rock, but they couldn't injure someone he considered useless.
No, to be more precise, the blades only touched a layer of light surrounding Negut; they couldn't go any further.
Even though the blades couldn't injure Negut, Alec's strength made him frown.
However, Negut still tried to keep his face expressionless. At this moment, he gave a scornful smile and said, "Oy! Did you skip dinner?"
"There's still some tea and cake in my villa; do you want to eat? Ah! I forgot a poor person like you can't possibly eat such expensive things."
"Negut!!!" Alec roared with fury.
Seeing Alec gradually losing control, Negut laughed inwardly.
Negut knew Alec's personality well through the information he had read.
Alec was weak but very arrogant. He was someone who easily lost control of his reason.
Those who easily lose control of their reason and behavior are the easiest to deal with. That was also the reason Negut kept provoking Alec.
Although Alec was angry, he wasn't stupid. After all, Negut was the son of the governor, so possessing a few magic items for self-defense was perfectly normal.
'Negut… You think you can rely on those trash magic items to defend yourself?' Alec thought scornfully.
"Not continuing?" Negut suddenly asked.
Alec wasn't too angry, snorting disdainfully: "Huh! What else can you do besides being a punching bag in the shape of a useless human?"
"Ah! Do you really believe I'm just a useless person?" Negut sneered. "It seems... you're just like the others, led by the media like a cow."
Suddenly, Negut's voice changed, becoming cold, confident, and full of arrogance: "Do you really think... the son of the Governor... is useless?"
"??!!!" Alec was startled; he immediately retreated as fear filled his heart.
Just for a moment, Alec felt a terrifying aura coming from Negut. As if Negut was the real monster and he was just a small rabbit.
Also in that moment, Alec felt the difference in class.
In front of Negut, he was just a poor but arrogant person, while Negut was the upper class, a true person in power.
'No! That must be an illusion!'
'Yes, it's just an illusion. How could a useless dog like him scare me?'
'He's just tricking me, trying to stall for time.'
Alec reassured himself internally. The thought of Negut not being a survivor was the most pleasing and satisfying thing to him.
With Negut's background, if he were also a Survivor, it would truly be Alec's end.
A perfect person born into a perfect family.
That would increase Alec's jealousy a hundredfold or a thousandfold. However, Alec could only be jealous in despair.
Therefore, Alec couldn't believe Negut was also a survivor. That would make Negut too perfect, and Alec wouldn't have the right to be jealous of Negut.
"fool!" Alec scoffed. "You think I'd believe what you say?"
Negut didn't answer; instead, he raised his left hand, his index and middle fingers pointed straight at Alec, his thumb upright, forming the shape of a gun.
"Do you... want to taste a bit of my power?" Negut's voice rang out, full of disdain and arrogance.
Like someone holding everything in his hands, including Alec's life.
"You…"
"Bang!" Before Alec could say anything, Negut spoke, imitating the sound of a gunshot.
BAM!
"What the hell?!" Alec was startled as he saw the chest of the monster he was controlling suddenly explode.
The armor shattered, scattering pieces everywhere, black smoke seeping out from within through the newly formed hole.
'Impossible! How…'
"How could a useless person like me break the tough armor protecting a coward like you, right?"
"You underestimate the power of the upper class, you stupid, poor, and... cowardly fool."
As soon as the thought appeared in Alec's mind, Negut continued as if he knew exactly what Alec was thinking.
Alec looked up at Negut. Despite being in the form of a void monster, at this moment, he was truly afraid.
However, Negut was just as worried as Alec.
This was because he was only using magic items to support himself.
'Luckily, I anticipated this, so I asked my father for a few items from the 'Magic Research Department'.'
Therefore, he asked his father for a few magic items that had never appeared in this world.
These items were mostly in the experimental stage or secret weapons for war.
How was he able to obtain these items?
The 'Magic Research Department' was founded by his father, and the main source of funding for its operation came from his mother.
To be more precise, the 'Magic Research Department' belonged to his family.
That was why he could take those items out for use.
The small, switch-like item from earlier was also one of the 'Magic Research Department's' studies.
However, it was a single-use item, and it required a lot of energy to use.
But, because Negut wasn't a Survivor, he couldn't fully utilize 100% of the magic device's capabilities.
Besides, these magic devices were incredibly valuable. Just the magic device Negut had just used was enough to build a 10-story building.
Saying Negut was burning money wasn't wrong.
However, the big problem was… Negut hadn't even reached level 1 yet, so he didn't have enough energy to maintain the use of these magic items.
Just using it once, Negut felt that almost half of the energy in his body was gone.
Therefore, Negut was just trying to stay calm, pretending that he was actually a high-level Survivor.
If Alec weren't here, he would probably be lying on the ground, panting like a dog.
"So?! Scared now?" Negut grinned, sneering as he saw Alec becoming worried. "Don't worry, I have plenty more to keep you 'entertained'."
"Bastard!" Alec roared like a wild beast. "Fight me like a man! Coward! You're just using magic items!"
"Hahahaha… You say that because you're not as rich as me." Negut laughed in response. "Ah! I forgot you're also using the power of a void monster."
"You… have no right to look down on me!"
"You…" Alec was about to yell, but...
BAM!
The monster's neck instantly exploded, and the armor protecting its neck also burst into countless fragments, scattering across the air.
Alec gritted his teeth, both furious and terrified. He didn't know whether Negut was using real magic or magic items.
However, regardless of the case, Alec knew that... Never mind killing Negut; even revenge would be extremely difficult.
Alec also didn't know what other strange things Negut had.
Negut's face was now starting to turn pale like a patient with anemia. Fortunately, the place was quite dark, so Alec couldn't see Negut's face clearly.
Negut felt that almost all of his energy had been depleted. If he used a magic item to attack or defend even one more time, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Alec's attack.
He suddenly sneered: "Alec, haven't you realized yet? Killing you... is easier than killing an ant."
"I let you live until now just to see what you could do."
"Just as I expected, you surprised me a little. However, it was just a small surprise, not too interesting."
"Alright, I haven't had dinner yet, let's end this."
Negut's words were incredibly light, as if this matter wasn't important at all.
Alec was a little scared, unsure of what was about to happen, and immediately prepared to run.
Negut's right hand slipped into his pocket, a casual gesture, but in reality, he was preparing to activate another magic item.
It's just… If he used this thing, he would probably be unconscious for a few days.
Negut didn't want that to happen, so seeing Alec wanting to run, he felt joy in his heart.
"Run?!" Negut said scornfully. "Fine, I'll give you three minutes to run. After three minutes, if you escape, I'll spare you."
"Don't think that I can't kill you. I... just want to experience the feeling of being a hunter."
"Bastard…" Alec said in a strained voice, although his tone was full of anger, he started backing away.
Although the two attacks had pushed Negut to his limit and he could collapse at any moment.
However, it was still valuable in making Alec increasingly fearful and anxious.
Yes, Alec was that type of person. Newfound power helped him hide his cowardice, but when he saw Negut was stronger, Alec revealed his true nature.
Seeing Alec preparing to run, Negut inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Alec ran away, he and his guards could easily wipe out all the void monsters there.
That way, he could overcome this 'Death Event'.
"Negut!" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, startling Negut. A sense of unease arose in his mind.
Alec's mouth dropped open as he saw a dark figure running towards him. White hair stood out against the night; even without seeing the person's face clearly, he knew… It was Selvia.
She hurriedly ran over, standing in front of Negut as if protecting him, her gaze fixed firmly on Alec.
No, to be more precise, she was looking at the void monster Alec was controlling and said loudly: "Negut… I… I will protect you."
Negut: "..." (; ￣Д￣)
Alec: "..."
"You…"
"AAA!!!" Alec suddenly roared like a wild beast, interrupting Negut's words.
'Why?!'
'Why is she here?!'
'Why is she protecting that bastard?'
'Why?!!!'
Negut looked at Alec, then back at Selvia, holding his forehead and sighing.
"Heh?! Did… did I do something wrong?" Selvia, seeing Negut's expression, hurriedly asked.
Negut really wanted to cry, but his tears had dried up; he couldn't cry.
'Big Sis, you're my Big Sis.'
'I suspect you're not here to protect me; you're here to add fuel to the fire.'
'Are you afraid I won't die fast enough?'
