748 Something“s off about this chapter 2 of 2
"Oh, are you about to say something in defense for your actions Alex? Because you seem angry about my criticism of your deeds..." The professor hastily said as she gave Alex a withering stare.
"Don’t say that what you did with those heads are actually noble. Because from what I can see, there is nothing noble about the fact that you decapitated children."
This stare was obviously challenging the latter to make a move against the professor, but she did not care if she was offending him.
Since she’s about to be captured by Alex anyway, then she might as well vent all of her anger before she becomes one of his playthings.
"Oh, and don’t you dare try denying that fact. Because my powers tell me that 10 of those 36 decapitated heads came from children!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is this how low you have fallen now, Alex? You actually killed children just to have you decorate that head cabinet of yours?"
"I never expected you to do this, so I am extremely disappointed with what I am seeing!"
"And I am so disappointed that I want nothing more but to strangle you with both of my hands!"
"Argh! If you were just not stronger than me, then I would be really choking you to death!"
At this point, the ’righteous anger’ that filled the professor’s mind became so potent, that her fear from Alex had actually disappeared.
Her fear was instead replaced by a desire to pummel Alex, which for the professor, cannot be stopped even with the differences in their power!
Alex might be stronger, but Professor Frances will still do her best to at least land a blow on him!
This is the best that she can do for the innocents that Alex had hurt, and given the paltry power that she had now, this could also be the only thing that she can do for them...
"Hey, why don’t you just come here and let me strangle you for a while? That won’t hurt you that much, right?"
With this murderous intent exploding out of her body, Professor Frances grit her teeth as she tried to channel all of what remained of her soul energy, in order to create her final soul attack that could possibly bring massive injuries on Alex.
"Argh!"
This attempt of hers naturally made her internal and external injuries worse, but the professor did not care, as she knew that this is her final chance to change her future, and most probably, even Alex’s future too...
"Argh!"
The professor also did not care when her soul matrix was about to collapse because of her latest attack attempt.
"Argh!"
She also did not care even when Alex looked like he was about to counter-attack her with one of his ’distortion’ powers again.
"Argh!"
She especially did not care when she started to feel sick from all the injuries that sprouted inside her body.
"Argh!"
If the professor’s current attack could still awaken any semblance of normalcy or kindness from Alex, then using it is worth it, even with all the consequences later.
"Oh, so you don’t want to approach me? Then let me do the approaching to you!"
So without any care for what will happen next, Professor Frances ignited what remained of her soul energy, creating a blazing flame which she then threw towards Alex.
"Boom!" This flame seemed to not have any abilities to burn matter, but Professor Frances knew its danger more than anyone else.
This flame was a Soul Flame after all, and a person touching it will have their soul get razed instantly.
Nobody is immune to this attack, and even Alex will be hurt by it too, although the extent of damage that he can get will depend on the intensity of the professor’s power.
But since the professor used all of her remaining energy for this attack, then her soul flame will most likely be powerful enough to make Alex feel serious...
**************
*************
"That flame is a Soul Flame, so don’t think that it can’t hurt you. I made it specially for beings like you, so don’t be complacent and- what the hell?"
Professor Frances clearly had the thoughts of defeating Alex with one attack, hence her initiative to use all of her power in order to bring him down.
Alex however seem to not share the same mindset, as he just casually slapped the flames away with a bothered look.

"Spash!"
The flames, which the professor was boasting for its lethality, just sputtered like embers in face of Alex’s slap, leaving nothing but hot air as they disappeared from the reality immediately.

Any connections that it had with the professor disappeared too, leaving her reeling as she once more felt the magnitude of Alex’s power.

"What the hell is this... that’s clearly one of my strongest trump cards, and yet it still failed to hurt Alex a little? What the hell is going on here?"
"How could this damned bastard be this strong, while doing all these immoral deeds too?"
"This is so unfair, and I can’t even comprehend how unfair this is!"
For the nth time in this encounter, professor France felt indignant from the disparity between her and Alex.
This time however, she could not find any outlet to display her feelings, as Alex’s actions had clearly suppressed her attempts to express herself.
And this suppression just increased when Alex began talking, with his words quickly dispelling everything that the professor had surmised earlier.
\u003c\u003cProfessor Frances... Didn’t I tell you earlier that all of these heads came from enemies who tried to kill me?\u003e\u003e Alex muttered as he casually gave the professor a dismissive look. \u003c\u003cIf you could understand what that means, then you should realize that all these heads did not come from innocent people.\u003e\u003e
He sounded both dismayed and irritated with the professor’s actions, although irritation was the dominant one, and he made sure to make her feel it as he continued his tirade.
\u003c\u003cI repeat, Professor Frances, I repeat. None of these heads came from innocent people. They all attacked me here, so don’t think that they are pitiful.\u003e\u003e
"...."
\u003cSee these children’s heads that you care so much about? These heads came from the bodies of Traveler Iskanor’s Companions. They attacked me when I was not looking, and they managed to inflict some wounds on me.\u003e\u003e
\u003c\u003cI won eventually in the end of course, and since they were both powerful, I just turned them into my Abyss Servants.\u003e𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
"..."
\u003c\u003cAs for these other heads... well, they are the people who tried to kill me before I could reach you. Some of them even tried killing you, and I only managed to stop them reaching you.\u003e\u003e
"...."
\u003c\u003cSo yeah, these people were not innocent at all, and I only killed them because I am protecting you....\u003e\u003eƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
"..."
\u003c\u003cIt’s okay if you don’t believe me, since you have no choice but to join me now.\u003e\u003e
"..."
\u003c\u003cSpeaking of joining me, how would you like it if we were to start searching for some True God artifacts? That’s our goal for coming in this place anyway, so we might as well start with just the two of us. There’s no problem for you if you helped me out, right?\u003e\u003e
