Chapter 322: Run... Exposure
When Alex saw that his attacks didn't cause much damage to the beasts, he decided to leave them alone and run away. There was nothing he could do to them. They were simply way above his level. And since he was using a speed-related physique, he hoped that he could outrun them; since he had evoked a Saint-rank physique while the beasts were at the Great Saint rank and above. So he wasn't sure if he could outrun them. But he decided to try. All he needed to do was to get to the depth, to where he might enter a portal that would teleport him to the legacy ground. Therefore, maybe when he gets there, the beasts might leave him alone and wait for him to come out. So he felt.
Without giving the beasts a slight hint of what he wanted to do next, he suddenly upturned his body in the water and tried dashing to the far depth of the lake at a great speed.
When the beasts saw what Alex did, they roared in fury and shot towards him with their colossal jaws open. Then in their opened gigantic jaws could be seen crackling, crimson-colored electricity gathering there in great amounts.
Once the crimson-hued frenzied electricity had gathered to shocking quantities in their jaws and then heavily condensed in the next instant to form immense, spear-shaped bolts of raging, crimson lightning, the massive spear-shaped bolts of electricity shot out of their jaws towards Alex at tremendous speeds.
Alex who kept tabs on them as he shot at an insanely high speed to the depth of the lake saw what they were about to do and quickly shot away from the direction that he was moving in. He quickly changed his direction upon seeing what they wanted to do. And the instant that he did so, the numerous lightning bolt-attacks that were fired at him arrived at the spot that he previously were and exploded into massive pools of crimson electricity that dyed the silvery lake at that depth with the bright color of crimson that they radiated. And to give a degree of how powerful the attacks unleashed were, large volumes of the lake water actually vaporized at the points that the killing, spear-shaped bolts of crimson electricity exploded into a tiny, turbulent sea of roaring electricity. Also, upon the numerous explosions of the condensed, humongous spears of electricity, enormous spheres of water which possessed an unfathomable destructive force surfaced and expanded out at great speeds into the distance in all directions. These spheres that had abruptly surfaced possessed the power to seemingly destroy everything in their paths. And accompanying the extremely destructive spheres in the next instant upon their appearances were gigantic ripples of water that also possessed a great devastating power to ruin or desolate everything in their paths.
Although Alex had shot away from the attacks at a tremendous speed, he was still actually struck by the devastating spheres and ripples that appeared which then expanded and swept out with a great force and at a higher speed that couldn't be matched or surpassed by the insane speed that the water-related physique enabled him to move at.
So, the instant that he was struck, he was knocked flying into the distance within the lake at a great speed. While many of the armored scales on his body broke away and his blood then spilled out.
Alex who was inflicted with great injuries and afflicted with great pain groaned within himself. Then he quickly produced many Saint-rank healing pills which he swallowed all at once.
Then immediately he did so and the healing pills turning into saint-tier healforce energy within his body, all the wounds that he had sustained from the attacks of the powerful furious beasts vanished in an instant. His body had quickly regenerated because of the cellular regeneration power of the pills that he took.
The moment that his body healed, he shot again to the depth of the lake.contemporary romance
The beasts became more annoyed by what he still ventured to do and then prepared to unleash more devastating attacks at him again.

"Senior, wouldn't you go to help him? He seems like he's having issue with escaping from the beasts who are totally bent on destroying him." Layla said with towering worry in her heart.
"Nah. He wouldn't want my help. If he wanted it, he would have called out to me for battle assistance or support. But all his life, he has never done so. And I don't think he would actually do so now. He's quite the persevering, persistent and stubborn type if you didn't know before. Besides, he always like to finish what he started himself. He doesn't like being helped or assisted by anyone or by anything. The thing is, he is just too prideful to ask for anyone's help, that crazy boy. So, don't worry too much about him, since he can possibly handle the critical situation he is in himself. But if I see that he's having serious issues with fighting off or evading the attacks of the exceedingly angered beasts who have the sole intentions to destroy him, I would go out to help him. Anyways, I might not need to actually do a thing. Haha! Just seat back calmly and see what he might do next. He might give you a great shock with it and upturn your knowledge about his insane abilities." The Palace-spirit said and grinned, locking Layla's worrying heart in a cage of suspense.
When Layla heard this, she narrowed her eyes with an intense glow of both astonishment and puzzlement in them.
'He might do something that might upturn my knowledge about his powers, skills and abilities? Hmm! Let's see then. I would seriously love to see that.' She said within in a questioning and excited tone.
Then seeing how Alex was trying his best to run away from the beasts in the large projection screen floating in the air before her, she worriedly stated further in her mind but in an imploring manner 'Alex, please do something that would give me a great shock. I want to know more about you. I want to know more about your hidden abilities.'
And like Alex could actually hear her thoughts, he turned around to face the many raging beasts who were preparing to send out more powerful lightning attacks at him. But he didn't turn around because he heard Layla's mental voice. It was because he had thought many things through. And one of them was that he would never get to the bottom of the lake on time because of the speed he was moving at which would definitely be easily surpassed by only the immense, electricity-composed attacks that the intelligent, enormous water beasts could unleash. And if the attacks detonated on arriving at where he was and struck him with the destructive, tyrannical forces that would be produced by them upon their explosions, he would be extremely, grievously injured and might even lose his life. So, it was better to face them and annihilate them. Then he would pick up their floating, massive bodies or parts and feed them to Nojraagon, his beautifully-skinned, young male water dragon and hope for his rapid, immense growth after feeding upon the corpses of the stunningly large, high-rank cultivation beasts.
Then the instant that he turned around to face them, many rippling pulses of Peak Saint-tier power that caused the water of the lake at that depth to actually endlessly rend apart, erupted interminably from his impressive athletic body that however appeared like an ant before the massive wrathful beasts swimming with murderous intents in their eyes towards him.
