Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 196: CHAPTER 195 - Ragha Done.



"You know that you can't defeat me alone, but let me tell you something: even if you were to add 10 more people as strong as you, you still won't be able to defeat me."

Alex, who was standing with his back against a tree, spoke as he glanced at Ragha, who had his body tensed to the maximum; it was as if that guy would blast if he were to sense anything off.

It was not uncalled for though, since the one in front of him was a monster through and through.

Alex was someone whose ruthlessness, if not strength, was enough to make anyone step back in fear.

Standing in front of such an entity, especially when you don't even know the exact strength of that person, was nerve-racking, to be honest, and Ragha could feel the tension in real time.

"Bullshit!"

But that didn't mean he wouldn't even speak in terror. He was different from those people who were running for their lives and even killing each other just because they knew that Alex was there.

"Up to you whether you believe it or not."

Alex, however, just shrugged. He really wasn't lying when he said that even 10 of Ragha wouldn't make any difference in front of him.

His thunderveil steps were one thing; his stats alone were 10 levels higher than Ragha's.

Yes, 10 levels. Alex was now a level 40 player, and if not for the limit stopping him, he would've upgraded it more.

Ten levels made a huge difference; at least for now, it's enough to change the tide of wars.

"What's it you're after?"

Ragha, on the other hand, didn't want to play with Alex; he directly jumped to the main question. He wasn't scared sh*tless like others, but that didn't mean he was fearless.

He feared death as well, and being close to a guy who was known to be unpredictable while also being capable of killing him wasn't something he liked. He just wanted to get it all over with and go back to his planning for the next scenario.

He didn't have any plans to fight with Alex anymore. The only reason they decided to give him the arrow last time was because they knew that they wouldn't win if they were to fight Alex.

The close-range battle was still an option, but Ragha knew that he and Saurav alone wouldn't be enough. All five of them together might've stood a chance, but two of them had already decided to step back, and one was dead, leaving only two, which made this entire thing pointless.

"All I want is for you to realize just how pointless it is to be angry for the deaths of those who wouldn't think twice if they were asked to kill you.

There is nothing other than fear that could make people listen to you."

Alex spoke as he stepped toward Ragha, still staring deep into the guy's eyes, causing the man to take a step back instinctively.

"What kinda crap you runnin' your mouth about?"

His lips, however, didn't stay shut. He growled as his brows frowned, and his stance was battle-ready.

What was Alex even trying to get out of this? Why was he suddenly here preaching to him about some shit he probably didn't even know anything about?

"The way you keep denying it even though you know how useless those followers of yours are is really funny."

Alex spoke as he pulled his bow out of the storage, followed by the arrow, causing Ragha's body to freeze. He had been going on about it, making himself believe that he wasn't scared of Alex, and he was just scared of death, but in reality, just like others, he was scared as well.

"W-Wai—"

He tried to raise his hands in surrender, not wanting to engage in a losing fight, but Alex's arrow was already aimed at the guy and the next second.

"You are all the same—not believing it until you see it. So I will show you."

*Woosh*

Alex, with his eyes as cold as ice, spoke in an emotionless voice, causing Ragha to flinch, but the arrow got released along with it.

Ragha wasn't able to notice it, but there was a paper attached to the arrow. What he knew was that the arrow was moving at him at a speed so fast that he wasn't able to follow.

He dove with all he had, wanting to avoid getting hit by the arrow, or at least he tried to...

*Pierce*

The arrow zoomed right past his head and, as if intentionally wanting to do it, pierced through his earlobe.

"Ghhhhh!"

Ragha couldn't help but groan in pain as he felt the pain in his ears, the pain of his flesh being torn apart by force.

He gritted his teeth and clutched the ground as if trying to cope with the pain, all while glaring at Alex.

He knew that this was what Alex wanted to do. Alex never aimed for his life; all he did was aim for the exact earlobe that was pierced. But why?

'Why did he do it? To see me cower in fear? IS THAT IS?!'

His gums bled as he kept on gritting his teeth harder and harder due to how helpless he felt.

Was there nothing he could do against Alex? Was grounding his teeth all he could do in front of a monster like Alex?

The answer came out to be yes every time he asked that question to himself, but he didn't want to accept it.

"This would make you open your eyes."

Alex, on the other hand, turned around, leaving Ragha at his demise. What he wanted to do was already done. All that was left for him to do was sit back and watch.

"Wha..."

Ragha, who was still glaring at Alex, was left stunned as he saw things turn out like this.

'What..? Is that all?'

He wanted nothing more than Alex gone from here, but right now, it felt strange. What did Alex even achieve from all this?

It was then that he noticed the eerie silence that was covering the entire area. The bloody shouts and pained screams of the people fighting among themselves were nowhere to be heard now.

His 'subordinates' were supposed to be killing and fighting each other; it was not that he would want them to keep fighting, but the sudden silence was strange.

His head snapped to look at them, only to see all of them staring at him.

It was then that he noticed the arrow Alex had shot stuck to the ground, while the people around it seemed to be reading through a piece of paper with some holes in it.

It was clear that the paper in their hand was attached to the arrow.

"W-What does it say—"

Ragha, frowning at the uneasy atmosphere, questioned, wanting to know the content of the letter, only to have his words cut short by a yell from one of the guys.

"GET HIM!!"

No one knew who it was, but as soon as those words fell, every single one of those standing alive rushed toward Ragha with a frenzied expression, causing Ragha's eyes to widen.

The paper was left behind, fallen to the ground, with some words written with bloodied fingers.

"Whoever lands a killing blow to Ragha will get their life spared and 5000 coins."
