“Where the hell did that bastard run off to?!”
Alex, furious beyond reason, completely unleashed his movement technique.
He didn’t even care about spiritual energy consumption anymore.
Right now, there was only one thing on his mind—
Finding Sabretooth and avenging the severe damage done to his young and innocent heart.
BOOOOM!!
After searching the entire base multiple times and still finding no trace of Sabretooth, Alex angrily sliced a military vehicle clean in half.
“Just let me find you…”
“When I do, I’ll slice you into pieces!!”
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
As Alex was grinding his teeth and imagining all the creative ways he’d torture Sabretooth later, a faint metallic collision sound suddenly drifted down from above.
He looked up.
And immediately saw—
At the edge of the towering dam high overhead, Wolverine and Weapon XI were locked in an unbelievably brutal battle.
Both mutants possessed ridiculously powerful healing factors.
Swords and claws slashed across flesh repeatedly, but before blood could even spray out, the wounds had already healed completely.
So the two simply relied on their absurd regeneration and exchanged attacks in the dumbest fight imaginable.
You stab me.
I claw you.
Over and over.
Honestly, they looked weirdly happy doing it.
But overall—
Wolverine was at a disadvantage.
Weapon XI didn’t just possess healing.
He also had teleportation and laser vision.
While fighting, Wolverine constantly had to guard against sudden teleport assassinations while also staying alert for eye lasers.
For a while now, Logan had been pushed into complete chaos.
Several times, he’d nearly fallen from the hundred-meter-high dam.
Even Alex watching below started worrying.
“…Forget it.”
“Can’t find Sabretooth anyway.”
“I’ll use this guy to vent.”
Alex looked up at Weapon XI, who was relentlessly pressuring Wolverine, and smiled coldly.
Then he turned and sprinted toward the base of the dam.
Meanwhile…
The Sabretooth Alex hated so much had already reached the speedboat he’d prepared earlier by the shoreline.
This had been his emergency escape plan.
And apparently…
It was paying off beautifully.
“Logan…”
“And that unknown brat…”
Sabretooth sat inside the boat and glared toward the island.
“Next time we meet, I’ll kill you both myself!”
After only a few exchanges with Alex, he’d nearly died several times.
Sabretooth had fought through hundreds of battles across World War I and II—
But this time?
Alex’s swordsmanship genuinely scared him.
Of course…
While talking about killing them next time—
What he was really thinking was:
Please let there never be a next time.
Victor gave the island one final unwilling look before driving the boat toward the nearest coastline without looking back.
Meanwhile…
The massive dam stood as the highest structure on the island.
From here, everything below could be seen clearly.
Strong winds howled nonstop around the area.
Anyone with weak nerves wouldn’t dare stand here.
CLANG!
CLANG!
Claws versus claws.
Adamantium claws against Adamantium blades.
As both fighters attacked with full force, sparks continuously exploded through the air.
PSSSH!!
Amid the increasingly fierce battle, Wolverine suddenly found an opening.
His claws slashed across Weapon XI’s shoulder.
A horrifying wound deep enough to expose bone appeared instantly.
“…is your head.”
Logan’s eyes lit up.
Excited, he immediately pressed the attack toward Weapon XI’s throat.
Healing factors weren’t limb regeneration.
Cutting off the head still meant death.
Unfortunately—
Weapon XI didn’t care.
Not even slightly.
Teleportation activated.
His body vanished instantly.
The next moment—
He appeared behind Wolverine.
Twisting his body in midair with a movement so absurd even gymnasts would feel ashamed—
He slammed a powerful kick downward.
BANG!
Wolverine crashed down.
Not good—
Before Logan could stand up again, Weapon XI had already pinned him.
Both knees pressed firmly onto Wolverine’s back.
No chance to escape.
PSSSH!
PSSSH!
“AAAAAAAHHHHH!!”
The twin blades pierced directly through Wolverine’s body from behind.
A painful scream instantly erupted.
Healing prevented death.
Not pain.
Pain still hurt.
And Weapon XI clearly understood that.
Instead of pulling the blades out immediately—
He slowly withdrew them.
Deliberately.
As if savoring Logan’s suffering.
Wolverine’s screams only became louder.
“AAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!”
After removing both blades, Weapon XI expressionlessly crossed them into an X-shape.
Then—
He thrust downward toward Wolverine’s neck.
As mentioned before—
Healing wasn’t immortality.
Lose your head and you’re done.
“Damn it…”
Wolverine desperately struggled.
But his position was completely restrained.
No matter how experienced or skilled he was—
He could only watch helplessly.
Just before the blades touched his skin—
A sharp sound suddenly tore through the air.
Weapon XI’s ears twitched instantly.
As a supreme swordsman himself, he immediately realized—
Sword energy.
Someone was attacking him.
And the target…
Was his head.
Without hesitation, Weapon XI teleported away and turned around.
Standing not far away—
Was Alex.
Huff…
Huff…
“Haha…
finally…”
“…made it…”
Alex bent over while breathing heavily, eyes locked onto Weapon XI.
The moment he’d seen the situation below earlier, he’d immediately rushed toward the dam.
Unfortunately—
So he climbed.
The stairs.
All of them.
If his body wasn’t absurdly strong already—
He wouldn’t just be panting.
He would’ve died halfway up.
“Hey, old man.”
“You still alive?”
Wolverine stood up and glanced over.
“Of course.”
“What could happen to me?”
“…Though I’d appreciate it if you showed a little more respect.”
Even after being tortured by Weapon XI earlier, Logan’s healing had already restored him completely.
Not even blood remained on his clothes.
Seriously.
Healing factors were cheating.
Alex ignored him completely.
“You’ve still got enough energy to complain.”
“Looks like you’re fine.”
“Heh.”
Wolverine laughed.
Then his expression grew serious.
“If you’re here…”
“Does that mean those kids escaped?”
“Probably.”
Alex shrugged.
“I told your gir—”
He paused.
Cough.
“No, your girlfriend.”
“I told your girlfriend to take everyone and leave.”
“With security this messed up now, nobody can stop them.”
“They should already be heading toward the shore safely.”
Wolverine visibly relaxed.
“Good.”
Then his gaze shifted toward Weapon XI.
“As long as we beat this guy…”
“…we can leave.”
Beat him?
Alex laughed coldly inwardly.
My goal is to absorb him.
Of course, he didn’t say that aloud.
While Alex and Wolverine talked, Weapon XI hadn’t moved at all.
But the instant they shifted into combat stances—
He raised his twin blades.
Battle intent practically exploded from his eyes.
Clearly—
Wolverine and Alex wanted to kill Weapon XI.
And Weapon XI wanted exactly the same thing.
Whether this confidence came from a swordsman’s pride…
Or absolute faith in his own strength…
Alex didn’t know.
He only knew one thing.
This time—
Weapon XI had to die.
“I’m going!”
Wolverine roared and charged first.
At the same moment—
Weapon XI rushed toward them too.
Alex curled his lips.
“Old man…”
“You’re way too fired up.”
Then, gripping his blade—
He charged forward alongside Wolverine.
The final battle…
Was about to begin atop the dam.
