Chapter 163: CHAPTER 163 – You lost, right?
Alex cursed as he saw Noctura's claw right above his head.
He had his stats suppressed to SS-rank and Noctura was someone who could fight someone who was a rank higher than herself, so it was not possible to dodge an attack from her, not when it was this close and not when he needed to remain unscathed.
'Temporal pause!' Alex exclaimed as the time paused for a second.
Although it was for a second, it was enough for Alex to get away.
But he didn't stop.
'I need to finish this quick,' Alex thought as he covered his fists with rock and jumped up in the air.
Alex had some cards left to use, but he didn't want to.
However, he didn't want to lose as well.
Alex knew that Noctura's ability was annoying, and it would be hard to find her once she disappeared again, so he decided to deal with her first.
None of them here were weak, all of them were strong enough to fight against someone with a rank higher than theirs, so Alex, who had his powers suppressed couldn't just take it easy anymore.
Alex jumped in the air and Superman punched Noctura.
His punch landed right at the moment the 'Temporal Pause' broke, and for Noctura, the last thing she saw was Alex's rock-covered fist in front of her face before she was knocked out.
'I failed, mama,' This was her last thought.
Temporal Pause is strong, no doubt about it, but you can't trap an elephant with ropes, the most you can do is stop it for a while.
That's what happened here.
Noctura was strong and she was growing stronger every day, not to talk about her bloodline which was ranked quite high, so it was not surprising that she could break free of the temporal pause.
Alex could've used 99% of his mana to trap her in it for longer but he did it so quickly that he didn't notice that.
But he got the small pause he needed to take down Noctura and he did just that.
'Two down, one more to go.'
Alex then turned toward Alice only to find another blazing beam coming at him.
"This again?" Alex raised his brow as he dodged the blazing beam with ease.
"You cheated!" Alice shouted from where she was standing.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
'When did I cheat?' He really didn't get what Alice was talking about.
"You used that time-pausing ability!" Alice shouted again as she fired another beam at him.
"And?" Alex still didn't get it.
"That ability is basically a cheat skill; you can't use that!" Alice exclaimed in exasperation as she saw Alex dodging her attack again.
'Just stay in one place!' She exclaimed inwardly as she shot another beam.
"You never said that I was not allowed to use that skill," Alex just shrugged as he moved a bit to the side, narrowly avoiding the beam of fire.
Alice was not in the range of 'Temporal Pause', so she saw all that happening.
She could see Noctura pause on her spot and she saw Alex punching her unconscious, but it happened too fast for her to react.
Ann would've been shocked if she saw Alex using this skill as she still didn't know about Alex having that ability but she was out cold right now, so it doesn't matter.
Alex saw Alice charging another attack, so he rushed at her.
"You know that you guys lost but you just won't stand down, would you?" Alex asked as he dashed at Alice.
"Never," Alice replied as she shot another beam at Alex which was avoided by him again.
Alice knew that they lost, they lost the moment Alex used Temporal Pause, and she also knew that no matter how many beams she shot at Alex, they were not going to hit.
'I will run out of mana eventually…' Alice muttered inwardly as she saw Alex dashing toward her.
But then Alex's speed increased and he was right in front of her before she could blind her eyes.
"You lost," Alex spoke as he stood in front of her.
Alex was standing right in front of Alice and looking down at her as his big body towered in front of her.
"W-what do you mean, I lost? I'm still standing, and I have yet to admit def-" Alice stammered as she saw Alex looking down at her.
But her words were cut short as Alex pulled her close with a jerk and took a taste of her lips.
"You lost, right?" Alex asked again as he moved away after just a peck on Alice's lips.
Alice's lips tried to catch Alex's lips as he moved back, but looked at the teasing eyes of Alex, and hearing his question, Alice stopped herself.
"N-no, I didn't," Alice voiced out as she looked away from Alex's eyes.
"Ho?" Alex raised his brow before he bent forward and pecked Alice's lips again.
This time he gave a lick on her upper lip, but just a lick before he backed away again.
Alice's lips tried to catch up again only to fail.
Alex did it again, then again, and again, and again.
He would suck on her lips, lick her lips, and sometimes just peck her lips, but he continued doing it for a while.
Alice who tried to catch Alex's lips again and again was now breathing roughly as she looked at Alex with tears in her eyes.
'Why is he so annoying?!?!'
She knew what he wanted; she could tell that just from the smug expression on his face.
"What do you want?!" Alice exclaimed as she licked her own lips, trying to taste whatever taste of Alex's lips was left there.
"You lost, right?" Alex asked again, and this time….
"Yes! Yes, I lost, so please stop teasing-" Alice stomped her foot but again her words were cut short as Alex kissed her again.
But this time, he didn't back away, instead, he moved his tongue in Alice's mouth.
'What?!' Alice widened her eyes, but when she felt the sensation, she started melting in Alex's arms.
They started sucking on each other's tongue but just then….
*Brrrrr**Brrrrr**Brrrrr*....
The sound of the phone's vibration was heard, and it broke the rosy atmosphere that was starting to form around Alice and Alex.
Alice and Alex looked at each other for a while before Alex chuckled.
"Go pick it up, it must be important."
Alex spoke as he gave Alice another peck on her lips.
Alice nodded her head as she touched her lips absentmindedly.
'It was so good….'
Even though they had done the deed, it was her first time kissing like this, it honestly felt too good to her.
But then she heard the vibration on her phone again and she turned toward it with an annoyed expression.
'Who is it?!?!'
Alice screamed inwardly as she rushed toward the boulder she had placed her phone on, leaving Alex, who was chuckling as he looked at her antiques behind.
