Roald was ready to attack Alex again, but Alex did not want to continue this pointless fight that he could end with a single move.
Roald immediately took out his blade and slashed at Alex. The next moment, a huge blade light appeared in the sky and hacked down, seemingly able to cut open the earth.
The aura of the blade permeated the air. It was extremely powerful.
On the other hand, Alex remained standing on his spot. He was ready to end this battle in just one attack as well. With his ability, he should not waste more time doing mindless battles.
Waves of air rolled about. The blade light released a loud and clear sound as the powerful force of the strike spread out at the same time.
It was at this time Alex took a step forward and directly appeared in front of Roald, ignoring Roald's attack completely.
But surprisingly, a ball of green flame appeared out of nowhere at Alex's previous spot and rose in the sky, and suddenly bloomed like a huge flower, completely enveloping the blade light.
Under the astonished eyes of the crowd, the flame actually devoured the destructive blade light before dissipating like it was never there.
At the same time, Alex punched Roald's chest.
"Bang!"
A crushing sound rang out and the next instant, Roald was sent flying while letting out a painful scream. If Alex had not controlled his strength well, Roald would have died then and there.
Olav was stunned. Those members of the Lightfoot Family were stunned. And the people who came over to watch the show were also stunned.
Olav's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. If he guessed correctly, Alex should be a Divine Lord. After all, he did not reveal his true strength but defeated Roald, an Extreme-leveled Holy Lord, with ease.
Alex stood in the air, his eyes staring at Roald.
Roald had already completely lost all ability to fight. He could not even stand up now.
Alex was sure that although his punch will not take Roald's life, it will definitely break a few of Roald's chest bones. But surprisingly, no bone broke.
If Alex's prediction was correct, Roald should be wearing some extremely strong defensive inner armor.
He came to Heavenly Ice City to participate in the auction and meet Asna, not to cause trouble.
Moreover, he was currently in the Heavenly Ice Region. And this Lightfoot Family seemed to be a big deal. He should not cause unnecessary trouble.
"Brother Roald!"
"Young Master Roald!"
The members of the Lightfoot Family were stunned for a few seconds. Then, as if they had just woken up from a dream, they immediately rushed downwards in fear, afraid that something might happen to Roald.
"Olav is my brother and not someone you can casually bully." Alex pointed to the ground, his face expressionless, as he enunciated every word.
As the sound of his voice faded, the surrounding people trembled subconsciously. At the same time, for the first time, Olav felt warmth from someone. And that someone was not even his family member or a friend. He was just an unknown guy who popped up out of nowhere and behaved as if they had known each other for a very long time.
The surrounding hundreds of people that saw this scene all exclaimed in shock.
"Who is he?"
"This kid, I've never seen him before!"
"He looks unfamiliar. Is he a friend of young master Olav?"
"To actually be able to defeat Young Master Roald, this is truly unbelievable."
People started conversating with each other.
"Alex, you ..."
Olav was extremely grateful to Alex for suddenly appearing here. Not only did he help him out, he even completely defeated Roald! He had to accept this brotherly relationship no matter what!
Yes, in his heart, Olav had already considered Alex as his brother.
Olav took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Alex, I will accept this favor, but it's not good for us to stay here any longer. Let's first leave and then talk!"
"Ok, let's leave!" Alex also had something to talk about with Olav, so he nodded his head and agreed.
"This time, I'll give you a lesson. If there's a next time, I'll kill you!"
Before he left, Alex lowered his head again, his eyes cold as he looked down at Roald.
Roald, who could no longer hear Alex's words clearly, shivered in fear that appeared from the depth of his heart for some reason.
.....
With Olav leading the way, Alex easily entered Heavenly Ice City without any obstruction. But even then he needed to register his name. At the same time, Olav, as someone from the Lightfoot Family, also needed to enter his name in the register before he could enter the city.
It could be seen how tight the security of the Heavenly Ice City was.
It was only after entering and chatting with Olav did Alex come to know that the security was this tight because of two reasons.
First, in just two months' time, the biggest auction of the entire Ice Sky Domain was going to be held where countless people will participate. These people will come from all over the Ice Sky Domain and even from outside the domain.
The second reason was Asna. Because she will come to the city very soon as well. She was the successor and future Empress of Heavenly Ice Palace. Her safety was the priority, even if it means the destruction of everything in the world. Her status was very prestigious and noble.
Alex also comes to know that the Lightfoot Family was actually one out of three families under Heavenly Ice Palace.
The Heavenly Ice City is ruled by three powerful families. They are Lightfoot Family, Sorenson Family, and Monnot Family.
But of course, these three families are still under the control of Heavenly Ice Palace.
The auction two months later will be organized by the combined forces of three big families.
Olav Lightfoot used to be the Young Master of the Lightfoot Family and if everything would have gone well, he would have become the next head of the family.
Unfortunately, he was not the destined one. His father went missing ten years ago, and it is said that he went to look for his mother.
As for his mother, it is rumored that her mother was not human but a demon who came from the depth of the abyss.
But according to Olav, how could that be possible?
His mother was definitely a human.
Of course, Alex confirmed that his mother must be an Abyssal Being. Only that could be the reason for Olav to possess the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline. But he did not tell Olav this now.
Olav was still delusional that his mother was a human. As for the rumors about his mother, they came from his uncle's mouth who took over the family after Olav's father left to look for his mother.
His uncle was also the reason Olav started getting bullied by everyone in the family after his father left.
Roald Lightfoot, whom Alex beat up, was the eldest son of Olav's uncle, Tai Lightfoot.
Olav also warned Alex about Roald. He said that Roald will definitely come after Alex to take revenge. He will never let Alex go no matter what. In fact, there is a very big chance that the entire Lightfoot Family might include in taking revenge for Roald. They will do this only to get close to Roald and his father.
This time, Olav came out of the Lightfoot Family and secretly wanted to leave Heavenly Ice City so that he could go looking for his father. After years of searching, he finally heard the news about his father. He heard that his father is at a place called Extreme End of Death Valley.
When Alex heard the word Death Valley, his first reaction was the Death Valley he knew.
But Roald shook his head and told him that the Extreme End of Death Valley is actually a place completely shrouded in dark fogs. Although people could enter the dark fog, they never came out. And it is the only similarity this place has with the Valley of Death. This is also the reason why it is called the Extreme End of Death Valley.
At this place, not only the land but even the sky is completely shrouded in a dark fog, so dark that even one's own hand could not be seen. This Dark Fog is like a wall, separating the entire Essence Sky World into two. It is as if another world exists beyond this Dark Fog.
Alex was shocked. He suddenly looked into the map in his mind. This map was something Valerio, his master, gave him when he was leaving the Three Cultivation Lands for the true Essence Sky World.
When he received this map, he found that there is a region completely shrouded in dark fog on the map. Although the shrouded part of the map was also a part of Essence Sky World, but at the same time, it seemed to be different from the Essence Sky World.
Now that he looked at the map again. he found the same thing once more.
