Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"You should at least say things that make sense, you know."

As Alex and Sophia's chuckle and giggle died down, Alex spoke while wiping away the imaginary tear at the corner of his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

His words, however, just made the glare from the silver-haired lady harden—not like he or Sophia cared about her dissatisfaction in the first place.

"If you were that good, then how are you still trapped here—"

Alex just shrugged at her question as he replied to her before he paused with a frown.

"—You know what? I don't even want to explain anything to you."

Alex just dismissively waved his hand at her, turning to look at Sophia.

That silver-haired lady, the lust-binding system, was going to die soon anyway, so what was the use of talking to her?

He didn't even need to ask her anything about who she was and how she got here, all of that would be acquired by him after she was killed; after all, he was the one who was killing her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yeah, Sophia would be the one landing the blow, but Sophia is the system spirit, and the system belongs to him, so her kills are his kills.

The lust-binding system, however, didn't take Alex's words kindly.

"Hey! What do you mean by that?! Answer me—!"

*Chissss*

But her words were again cut short as a drop of red boiling magma dropped on her shoulder.

"—Argghh! Fuck!"

She groaned and cursed as the burning sensation she felt just kept getting worse before she heard Sophia's voice.

"Just stay quiet when no one is talking to you."

The disdain and indifference in her voice caused the lust-binding system to grit her teeth in anger as she turned to look at Sophia.

"You—!"

*Ssssss*

"—Arghhhhh!!!"

She tried to protest, only to have another large drop of lava drop on her shoulder, causing her an agony higher than the last one.

"So, what now?"

Alex, on the other hand, just ignored the silver-haired woman as he questioned Sophia.

"Well, you should step back a bit.

Even though she can only use the mana of an epic ranker, she still has access to the memories of her past life, meaning she can still use some abilities that could harm you."

Sophia replied to Alex as she stretched her body a bit, giving Alex a better view of her curves, causing him to raise his brow in appreciation before he asked.

"How will you get my mana, though?"

He questioned as he started stepping back.

It was not that he didn't think that Sophia took his question into account and had not come up with something for it, he was just curious as to how she was going to do it, so although he asked the question, he still did what Sophia had asked him to.

Sophia, who saw this, just smiled lightly without looking back at him as she replied.

"Like you have the ability to transfer mana into someone upon contact, I have an ability that lets me suck mana out of anyone."

Sophia's words caused Alex to raise a brow before he just shrugged and zapped away from the spot.

'Hmm~~, it's been a long time since I fought...'

Sophia, who saw Alex zapping away, finally stopped stretching after a last comfortable sigh as she stared at the lust-binding system.

The silver-haired lady heard the exchange of words between Sophia and Alex, causing her body to tense.

She didn't know what was going on, but she had guesses.

But doubts, however, turned out to be true as she saw Sophia waving her hand, causing the iron cage that kept her trapped here for a while to fly away into the distance.

*Crack*

"As you should've guessed, you're going to die—"

Sophia cracked her finger as she stepped closer to the silver-haired lady, only to have her words cut short as she saw a blood-stained fist coming straight into her face.

"—Whoops!"

But she just tilted her head while sticking her tongue out in a cute manner.

"Quiet feisty, aren't you?"

Sophia, who saw the silver-haired lady jumping straight into the action, raised a brow, and before the lady could even pull her arm back, the time seemed to have slowed down as...

*Boom**Crack*

A relaxed punch landed on the silver-haired lady's stomach with a boom, along with the sound of some bones cracking.

"Khuak—!"

The lady's eyes widened, and she coughed out all of the air in her lungs, and her back hunched in pain.

But things didn't end there as...

*BOOOMMM*

The time finally went normal, and the lady shot back into the distance with a force enough to cause multiple air barriers to brake and debris to fly in her wake.

*Whistle*

Alex, who was standing far away, whistled as he saw the battle.

He couldn't even follow the movements of the fight, all he saw was Sophia waving off the cage, causing it to fly off in the distance, and before he could even tell what happened, Alex heard a loud sonic boom.

All he saw after that was Sophia standing in her spot unharmed while the lust-binging system flew off faster than the iron cage from before.

The next thing he saw was Sophia waving at him with a smile before she shot toward the silver-haired lady, who didn't seem to have any control over her body right now.

After that...

*Boom*

*Baam*

*CRASH*

*BAAM*

….

…

.

All he heard were the loud booms of air barriers breaking and ground shattering, which were followed by waves and waves of wind that crashed into his face, causing his hair to get all messed up.

Alex, however, didn't even care about that, as right now he was more focused on the power level displayed in front of him.

'I will be the same, one day...'

He muttered inwardly as he clenched his fist with utmost determination.

Then there was this nagging feeling that he had, telling him that this wasn't the full extent of Sophia's power; it was just a mere faction of it.

That made him wonder how strong she really was and what that level was called.

But he soon waved it off, as it was no use thinking about it; he would know when the time was right.

He just focused on the match, but before he could even notice, the booming noises had stopped.

The ground that had cracked and shattered was now healing, and the lava and magma that were blasted off here and there started to get absorbed into the ground.

*Step*

The next instant, Alex heard a single taping sound, and he saw Sophia, who had been fighting the silver-haired lady in the distance, now standing right in front of him with a light smile.

The silver-haired lady, who had a gorgeous face, was now being dragged to the ground by Sophia, and her face was not even recognizable now, causing Alex to raise a brow.

"Well, she tried to punch my face, so I did the same."

Sophia, who noticed his inquisitive gaze, just shrugged her shoulder as she threw the silver-haired lady in front of him.

*Thud*

The lady's body, seemingly dead, fell to the ground. Unmoving.

"What?"

Alex, however, didn't understand why she did it.

"My killing her would mean that you killed her, but still, if you killed her, then you would get an option—something that you would like a lot."

Sophia replied to Alex's question as she explained her motive.

She already knew what would happen and what Alex would get, as she could clearly see it happening, but she let Alex discover it himself.

If she were to kill the system, then Alex would only get the abilities of the lady, but if he himself were to kill her, then he would get an option...

Alex, who wore a contemplating expression, soon shrugged his shoulder as he extended his arm, placing it right above the silver-haired woman's battered body before he called out to his dear weapon.

'Verathian.'

As soon as he did, a black colored ball appeared in his hand before it extended into a sword, and...

*Pierce*

It directly penetrated the silver-haired woman's body, cutting off whatever shallow breaths she was still able to take.

*Swoosh*

The next second, the black-colored blade that penetrated the woman's head, was retrieved, going back into the storage.

The lust-binding system, the golden finger of a protagonist, something that was supposed to be strong enough to overcome anything, was now dead, unable to triumph over Alex's powers.

Well, it was Sophia who defeated it, but as said before, Sophia was part of Alex's power as well.

Alex shook his head as he looked at the oh-so-powerful golden finger of the protagonist, called Lokiath Fyzenar.

But, right then, a new notification—something he had been waiting for—flashed in front of Alex's eyes, causing him to frown before he clicked on the details of the option.

The moment he did that...
