From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals-Chapter 590 Raging Battle

His thoughts drifted to how the Midnights had managed to coordinate such an assault, the timing too perfect, too precise. There was something off about it all.

A soft beeping interrupted his thoughts, and he looked down, his eyes narrowing as he saw a small robot spider approaching. He only had a split second to react before a needle shot out from the spider's back, aimed directly at him. Alexander's hand moved faster than the eye could follow, snatching the needle mid-air. Pain shot through his arm, a jolt of electricity running along his skin.

He clenched his jaw, ignoring the pain as he crushed the needle in his hand. Without hesitation, he moved to stomp on the spider, but before his foot could make contact, something struck his shoulder—a flying kick that threw him off balance.

Alexander stumbled, his feet sliding in the mud, his gaze snapping towards his assailant—a young man with a smug expression, his stance casual but confident.

"Bold of you to just walk down towards the castle all by yourself," the man sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. "And what's that bolt of electricity? Trying to get yourself fired up?"

Alexander shrugged off the pain, his eyes narrowing at the man in front of him. He didn't bother responding, his stance lowering as he prepared for the next strike. Before he could make his move, however, he felt a powerful vibration—a sound wave rippling through the air.

He looked up just in time to see the man he had punched down the hill earlier, now standing again, his face a mess of blood and mud. He clapped his hands, another sound wave erupting from him, tearing through the air towards Alexander. Continue reading stories on novelbuddy

"Dodge that!" the man shouted, his voice filled with satisfaction.

Alexander moved, attempting to sidestep, but the sound wave hit him dead-on. The force of the blast reverberated through his body, sending him skidding backward, his feet slipping in the mud. His teeth clenched, and he staggered slightly, regaining his footing just as a flash of movement caught his eye.

The contestant who had kicked Alexander earlier was already closing the distance, his figure flickering unpredictably, almost like a mirage. He lunged, his fist aimed at Alexander's ribcage. The punch connected, and Alexander felt the sting of pain radiate through his side, his body twisting from the impact.

Alexander exhaled sharply, his muscles tensing as he straightened, a faint smile pulling at his lips. His gaze met the man's—a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He stayed still, watching, waiting.

The Evasive Shift user lunged again, his movements erratic, almost as if he was in multiple places at once. His fists came up, aimed at Alexander's head and midsection simultaneously. Alexander's eyes narrowed, his feet shifting subtly as he let the blows connect, his head snapping back as a fist struck his jaw.

The taste of iron filled his mouth, but his stance remained steady. He watched the man carefully, his eyes tracking every flicker of movement, every shift in his stance. He could see the man's confidence growing with each hit, the glint in his eyes—he thought he was winning.

The sound wave user, not far behind, clapped his hands together, another shockwave rippling through the air. Alexander felt the vibrations approach, and he turned just in time for the blast to catch his side. He stumbled, his feet sliding in the mud, the ringing in his ears growing louder.

"Is that all you've got?" Alexander muttered, just loud enough for the two men to hear, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

The Evasive Shift user growled in frustration, his form flickering as he darted forward, his fists flying in rapid succession. He struck Alexander's ribs, his chest, his jaw—each hit connecting with a solid thud. Alexander's body jerked with the force of each blow, but his eyes never left his opponent, sharp and calculating.

The sound wave user moved in closer, his hands raised, his eyes wide with a mix of adrenaline and determination. He clapped his hands once more, the concussive force sending mud splattering around them. Alexander twisted his torso, allowing the blast to graze his shoulder, the sting of pain barely registering on his face.

"Got you now!" the Evasive Shift user shouted, his voice filled with a triumphant sneer.

Alexander shifted his stance slightly, his foot pressing into the mud as he moved, his form blurring for an instant. He appeared in front of the sound wave user, his fist already in motion. The man's eyes widened in shock, his mouth opening in a gasp that was cut short as Alexander's punch drove into his stomach.

The impact lifted the sound wave user off his feet, his body folding around Alexander's fist before he crumpled to the ground. His face twisted in pain, his body trembling as he struggled to breathe, his fingers clawing at the mud.

The Evasive Shift user hesitated for a split second, the confidence in his eyes wavering as he watched his comrade fall. He lunged at Alexander, his body flickering, his form shifting rapidly as he aimed a punch at Alexander's side. Alexander moved, his body twisting just enough for the blow to miss.

Alexander grabbed the man's wrist, his grip tightening, and yanked him forward, his knee driving up into the man's midsection. The man gasped, his body folding from the force of the hit, his eyes wide with shock and pain.

Alexander didn't let go. He twisted the man's arm, forcing him down, his body hitting the mud with a loud splash. The man struggled, his body flickering in and out of focus, but Alexander's grip was unyielding. He glanced down at him, his eyes cold, a hint of disdain in his gaze.

"You're not as fast as you think," Alexander muttered, his voice barely above a growl. He twisted his body, preparing to bring his fist down in a brutal finishing strike, his eyes cold and unfeeling. He swung his arm forward, ready to end this fight.

But just as his fist was about to connect, his wrist was caught, halted mid-air. The impact that was meant to leave a bloody mess never landed. Alexander's eyes snapped up, meeting the calm, almost indifferent gaze of Ty.
