Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

Chapter 64  Exhausted reserves

A few moments earlier.

'Shit, I can't believe I didn't notice there was a third one.'

Alex was mentally annoyed at himself.

But considering his current predicament, he couldn't afford to make any more slip ups due to his emotions.

'This fight is quickly tipping in their favor, especially now that I've been injured by that hidden archer.'

Alex was wracking his brain trying to think of a plan to get out of this situation alive.

In the end there was nothing.

Alex was all out of ideas.

He looked over at Mira. She had already started to attack the duo at the front frantically with rage.

'Am I really so useless? I've already been incapacitated before the fight even began, yet she's trying her best to fight them off even at such a huge disadvantage.'

In his frustration, Alex accessed his inventory and took out his last remaining soul orbs. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Maybe these can help me in some way.'

Every time he had previously absorbed a soul orb, it strengthened his body in a way the beast cores could not.

Therefore his experience led him to think, 'Since they strengthen my body when I use them, shouldn't they also be able to heal me at least a little?'

And that's what brought him to his current situation.

He took the soul orb out of his inventory and quickly calmed his thoughts to properly absorb it.

Thankfully, Mira and the others were too preoccupied with trying to kill each other to notice his actions.

"Ahhh, this feels refreshing." The moment the energy entered his body he felt a jolt of pain flash through his shoulder where the arrow had pierced.

Then all the pain stopped.

Even the pain from before.

It was like his wound was gone.

But when Alex looked down, the hole was still there. There was just no blood pouring out anymore. What was even more shocking was that he could visibly see the wound regenerating at a speed for him to see with the naked eye.

'At this rate, I'll be good as new in 15 minutes!'

He could even somewhat move his arm now!

Alex stood up, no longer holding his shoulder with his uninjured hand.

'There's no time, I have to go all out!'

When he looked over Mira, she was being gradually pushed back by the onslaught of the two sinister attackers and the archer from far back.

Since he had no time to do things one by one, he had to do everything at once!

Looking at the other E- rank soul orb he had yet to absorb, he started conjuring a fireball in his other hand.

At the same time, he absorbed the E- rank soul orb and all the other F+ ranks he had, officially emptying out his supply.

His goal was to speed up his healing process, while simultaneously preparing a fireball to back Mira up.

But things didn't go as he expected.

'What the fuck…'

Instead of feeling the energy from the soul orbs entering him and refreshing his energy body like he was used to, he felt the energy from the soul orbs moving in another direction.

Towards his hand…

Immediately, the fireball he was conjuring grew in size exponentially. In just half a second, it was already the size of his head, and it didn't look like it would stop any time soon!

Sweat covered his whole body as he was immediately hit with a strong headache.

Controlling such a strong fireball put a huge strain on his concentration and he was almost unable to handle it.

'I better send this monstrosity away before something bad happens…'

If this thing went off before he could launch it, then there would be nothing left of him.

Maybe the explosion would also reach Mira!

He would just be doing the job of the enemy if he held onto this thing any longer.

With rapid steps, he moved up behind Mira. When he reached her, he could see that her hair was turning the same golden color he had seen her use before.

"Don't."

He spoke with rushed words.

Thankfully she seemed to have regained her rationality and looked back at Alex, her face still seething with rage.

But her emotions quickly died down when she saw the huge, still growing fireball in Alex's hand.

She cancelled her transformation, barely losing any energy from the process.

"Dodge."

Alex used all his will power just to push out his previous two words.

Mira saw how strained he was. He looked like he just came back from a swim, and his veins were bulging on his head.

She immediately did as he said and used all her strength to push herself away from the front line.

Meanwhile, Alex couldn't hold on any longer and released the Fireball from his control.

Fwoosh

The huge burning ball of fire quickly flew over the short distance.

'He missed!'

Mira saw the fireball fly right over the attacking duo, whose expressions were filled with horror when faced with the miniature sun.

It continued flying past, lighting up the darkness everywhere it flew.

After a second passed, Mira could see the fireball had reached the top of a small hill in the rocky terrain, and when it did, she was shocked.

'The archer!'

Now she understood.

Alex hadn't missed.

He was never aiming for the two at the forefront from the beginning.

Instead he was aiming for the bigger nuisance that had been the reason they were losing this fight from the beginning.

BOOOM!

As soon as the silhouette of the third party came into sight, a split second later it was gone.

Along with the entire peak of the hill he was standing on.

When the fireball landed, it created an explosion affecting a radius of 50 metres from where it hit.

Liquefied rock was sent flying in all directions, and Alex received a notification from his watch.

He looked down at it, seeing that his points had gone up by 10.

'So they were telling the truth. This just makes everything so much more complicated.'

The archer was dead.

The fact his points had increased were proof of this.

Meanwhile, the other two attacker's faces twisted and went white when they realised what happened.
