CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!!!!
The howling winds around the dam carried the constant metallic collisions far into the distance.
More than a hundred meters above the ground—
Alex and Weapon XI’s battle continued.
Weapon XI’s figure flickered in and out of existence.
Twin blades descended like a raging storm.
Yet under the enhancement of Alex’s Clairvoyant Eyes, his defense remained as solid as an iron fortress.
No openings.
No blind spots.
No matter how unpredictable Weapon XI’s teleportation was—
No matter how ghostlike his attacks became—
He still couldn’t injure Alex in the slightest.
But…
That was all.
Because against an enemy with teleportation, every counterattack Alex launched was effortlessly avoided.
Eventually, he stopped attacking altogether.
Pure defense.
“Three mutant abilities…”
“This is insane luck.”
“Today…”
“I have to kill him.”
“And completely ‘eat’ him.”
Thinking this, Alex shouted and blocked Weapon XI’s twin blades once more.
Then immediately counterattacked.
The result was obvious.
Weapon XI didn’t even bother looking at the strike.
Teleport.
Disappear.
Reappear elsewhere.
Attack again.
“Damn it!”
“If this keeps up it’ll never end!”
Alex knocked away another attack, irritation building.
He wasn’t losing.
Not yet.
But if this continued, the fight would become exactly what he hated most—
A battle of attrition.
And that was bad for him.
Even worse—
Weapon XI still hadn’t used his strongest move.
Laser vision.
If Alex got careless and took that attack head-on…
Things would become troublesome.
“Need a plan…”
WHOOSH!
Weapon XI appeared again.
Seeing Alex still standing there waiting for him, savage battle intent exploded from his eyes.
The twin blades descended.
Full power.
No hesitation.
Weapon XI’s instincts as a super swordsman and natural combat talent exploded completely.
And then—
Alex’s eyes lit up.
“That’s it!”
An idea flashed through his mind instantly.
The next moment—
He stepped forward.
Adamantium blade raised.
CLANG!!
Weapons collided.
Then suddenly—
Alex’s Adamantium sword flew out of his hands.
Disarmed.
For a swordsman—
Losing your sword was like a gun losing bullets.
Common sense.
Without a proper weapon, a swordsman’s strength dropped dramatically.
Against opponents at the same level—
It was fatal.
In other words—
To Weapon XI…
Alex had become a tiger without claws.
Still intimidating.
But harmless.
WHOOSH!
The Adamantium blade spun higher and higher into the sky.
Completely beyond Alex’s control.
Weapon XI’s eyes suddenly brightened.
An opening!
Strike while he’s weak!
He leaned backward slightly, absorbing the recoil.
Then charged forward.
Twin blades pierced outward viciously.
“Here’s a lesson.”
Alex grinned.
“I’m not someone you can judge by common sense.”
Faced with Weapon XI’s deadly assault—
Instead—
He rushed forward.
BOOM!!
The spiritual power inside his body erupted violently.
A fierce aura surged skyward.
Massive amounts of spiritual energy gathered into his right fist.
Then—
Alex unleashed perhaps the most famous punch in anime history.
“Rozan Rising Dragon Fist!!”
This move originally came from Saint Seiya.
The technique concentrated all power into one decisive strike.
At full power, a dragon would appear behind the user.
Visually overwhelming.
Devastatingly powerful.
Of course—
Alex had no Cosmo energy.
And his move was basically a bootleg anime version.
Its strength couldn’t compare.
But under spiritual power and his superhuman body—
The punch still possessed terrifying force.
Enough to launch multi-ton vehicles.
Much less Weapon XI.
BANG!!!
The fist landed instantly.
Weapon XI never expected it.
The punch smashed directly into his abdomen.
His feet left the ground immediately.
His entire body flew upward.
But Alex wasn’t done.
Before Weapon XI’s dazed mind recovered—
Alex twisted his body midair and closed in.
“Shinmei Style — Floating Cloud: Sakura Scattering Blossom!”
His legs shot out like a scorpion tail.
Locking tightly around Weapon XI’s head—
Alex forcibly redirected the upward momentum sideways.
Then—
Spinning through an absurd six-hundred-thirty-three-degree aerial rotation—
He drove Weapon XI downward.
Straight into the dam.
BOOOOOM!!!
A scalp-numbing impact echoed.
Weapon XI’s head smashed a crater directly into the concrete.
Cracks spread everywhere.
And yet—
He still wasn’t dead.
His healing factor activated immediately.
Saving him.
Barely.
But although his body survived—
His consciousness scattered from the impact.
And—
This was exactly the opportunity Alex had been waiting for.
The instant Weapon XI’s mind entered chaos—
Alex’s eyes changed.
Red crosses emerged within his pupils.
His left hand shot forward.
Grabbing Weapon XI’s neck.
“Extermination Eye…”
“Devour.”
The moment the words fell—
An invisible force spread outward.
Weapon XI’s body suddenly trembled.
Starting from his limbs—
His body began breaking apart.
Turning into fragments.
The destruction rapidly spread across his entire body.
Even his healing factor couldn’t stop it.
It was useless.
“?!”
Weapon XI’s consciousness instantly snapped back.
Seeing his body collapse rapidly—
He decisively shifted his eyes toward Alex’s head.
SSSSHHHH!!!
Scorching heat flooded the air.
Twin laser beams tore through space with horrifying speed.
The attack struck the dam nearby.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Concrete exploded.
Steel and cement shattered apart.
The laser pierced directly through the structure.
But—
He missed.
Because before Weapon XI fired—
Alex had already moved.
Weapon XI’s head separated completely from his body.
Spinning through the air—
The laser vision continued firing wildly from the severed head as it dropped.
Meanwhile—
The fragments of Weapon XI’s body completely vanished into Alex’s eyes.
And in Alex’s hand—
Was a bloodstained Adamantium dagger.
The truth was simple.
The instant Weapon XI prepared to fire—
Alex reacted first.
He pulled out the Adamantium dagger hidden in his right pocket.
One slash.
One instant strike.
And before the lasers fired—
Weapon XI’s head had already left his shoulders.
CLANG!
Only then—
Alex’s Adamantium sword finally fell back onto the dam.
Standing upright against the wind.
Fast.
Too fast.
Everything happened absurdly quickly.
Sword disarmed.
Bootleg Rozan Rising Dragon Fist.
Sakura Scattering Blossom.
Extermination Eye.
Adamantium dagger decapitation.
All of it—
Occurred before the sword even hit the ground.
From start to finish—
Less than five seconds.
Yet within those short five seconds—
Alex completely reversed the battle.
And achieved—
Instant kill.
Weapon XI—
Dead.
BOOOOM!!!
The moment Weapon XI was devoured—
Massive spiritual power surged from Alex’s eyes into his body.
Within seconds, all previously depleted energy recovered completely.
Then—
It kept rising.
Higher.
Higher.
Higher.
Until finally—
His spiritual energy capacity became over twice its original amount.
And that wasn’t all.
Under Extermination Eye’s enhancement—
His body strengthened further.
Muscles.
Bones.
Explosive power.
Everything increased dramatically.
After a brief self-check, Alex estimated—
Each casual strike now carried over five tons of force.
His speed had reached one-quarter Mach.
Around eighty meters per second.
Devouring Weapon XI had given him a massive breakthrough.
Once he mastered this power—
His combat strength would rise several times over.
Most importantly—
Alex could clearly feel something inside Extermination Eye.
A strange sensation.
As if…
A new Eye ability was beginning to form.
“It took me years…”
“Years just to develop Clairvoyant Eyes and Ghost Eyes…”
“And now after devouring a single mutant…”
“This much progress?”
Alex’s eyes brightened instantly.
Future plans immediately formed.
Find criminals with special powers.
Fight them.
Devour them.
Speed up Eye evolution.
“I wonder what comes next…”
“Sharingan?”
“Rinnegan?”
“Mystic Eyes of Distortion?”
“Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?”
“Can I actually evolve those?!”
Alex sighed emotionally.
Then casually tossed aside Weapon XI’s remaining clothes.
Walking over calmly—
He grabbed his Adamantium blade and pulled it free.
The battle was over.
