Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

That was not something he could do right now. He had to take every step with care, as he only had one leg to even take a step.

He could see their lips moving, and he could make something out, but he wasn't able to make anything out of it.

Looking at all of this, he decided to throw in something, something that might again put them into a conflicting situation.

*Swoosh*

He jumped down from the tree he was standing on, landing on a single foot before he took out one of the items that he had obtained from the second main scenario.

*Clang*

A spear. It was around 2 meters long with a black body and silver blade, it didn't look anything special, it looked like a normal spear with fairly strong durability, but that's all.

Alex's eyes turned to look at the spear.

[[Duskwind Spear (Uncommon+): A spear that was a failed product of a very talented craftsman, but as it turned out to be better than it was supposed to be, he was given a name.

→ Windgust – Unleashes a gust of wind with each thrust, pushing back enemies and increasing attack range.

]]

It was a spear with a '+' rank, clearly telling that although it was just an uncommon item, it had the power of a rare item.

But as it was an uncommon item, it had very limited magical ability.

What it had, however, was...

"I agree to your deal."

Alex voiced out, his words echoing through the atmosphere, freezing the leaders for a second before all of them had their brows creased.

What was Alex up to? Was he playing with them? Is this a trick of his?

Many such questions appeared in their head, but Alex wasn't done yet.

"I can give you my word that once I get my thing, I'll leave silently."

As soon as those words were heard, Karina's eyes widened, she hurriedly turned to look at Saurav, who was also looking at her right now.

It was just a second ago that Karina told them how she survived Alex's attack, as she was the only one who had ever survived a disaster called Alex.

"We just need to make him promise that he would not harm us."

This is what she told them, as this is how she survived. She survived because she fulfilled the condition Alex had given her, so she hoped to make it so that Alex would give them their word, but he gave it out voluntarily?

As soon as Alex saw her expression, he knew that they were playing right into his hands.

A light smile—a small grin, trying to hide something dark—made its way to his lips, a cold light shining in his eyes, but it was only for an instant before it got replaced by the same emotionless look.

From the moment he let Karina go, he wanted to make it seem like he was a man of his word, he wanted people to think of him that way, as it gives him a substantial advantage in situations like this.

He was setting an image for himself—an image of a man who never goes back on his word.

Was he an honest man, though? Not in the least. The life of an assassin would never get by if he were to live honestly.

His cold gaze turned toward Saurav who seemed to have made a decision.

"We agree—!"

Saurav was about to agree to Alex's words, but before he could, he found his lips shut close by webs, causing him to frown, and before he could turn to look at Urmina, her voice echoed.

"Will you let me live—!"

This was her only fear. It wasn't that she couldn't give away the arrow, she could no matter what she thought, and no matter how much she liked the arrow, she could give it away.

But she knew, she knew that even if she were to let go of the arrow, Alex was going to come for her. So, she cut Saurav off, willing to get on his bad side if she could know what Alex's intentions were for her.

Others weren't in a bind like her. They didn't steal an arrow from Alex. They were not someone who had anything to lose in this deal.

She knew Ragha wasn't satisfied, but he didn't seem to be protesting now, so she had to look out for herself, but her words were cut off as well, not by one of the leaders, but Alex himself.

"I do not have patient."

His words, as cold as they could be, reached the ears of the leaders, tensing their bodies. They knew that Alex wasn't joking, and because they were unaware of Alex's physical condition, they were a bit hesitant about fighting Alex.

Urmina, on the other hand, knew her answer.

She gritted her teeth as she knew that she was now alone but...

"I won't hand over the arrow."

She spoke as she felt the other four leaders' eyes on herself, her fists clenched.

She knew that she still had the upper hand in this fight. She just won't hand it over. It was in her storage, so it was up to her when she wanted to take it out.

As for killing her? They can't do it—there was no way they could. The reason for that was simple: The arrow would be gone with her if she were to die.

*Grip*

Alex, on the other hand, clenched the spear in his hand.

It was time to do something he had just thought in theories since he got this spear.

He placed the spear between his legs, looking at it for one last time before he pushed his mana into it.

He expended around 10% of his mana, something an uncommon ranked weapon wouldn't be able to handle, as they were weak, but if there was one thing Alex was sure about this spear, then it was that it wouldn't break—not with just 10% of his mana.

*BOOM*

The moment he did it, pushing his mana into the spear, it sent a spiral of wind out of its head, which Alex had embedded into the ground, and Alex, without a moment's hesitation, grabbed tight on the spear.

Windgust, a pretty useful ability, is able to push back enemies, but what if the enemy was an entity that is immobile like the Earth?

*Woosh*

It would do the opposite, of course.

'Yes!'

Alex exclaimed inwardly as he found himself propelled up in the air, sitting on the spear as if it were Harry Porter sitting on the broom.

The loud boom caused everyone to turn to look at the source, only to find Alex zooming through the air from one point to another, but just as the leaders of the group stared at Alex, they noticed something...

'Fuck! Is that even possible?!'
