[You have acquired Great Ax's Weapon Proficiency]

[Because you don't have the necessary stats to wield this weapon. It will rightfully return to its owner after 30 seconds]

"Huh...?" Alex stared at the weapon in her hands. 

"This..." Alex would never expect that she would discover how to acquire a weapon in this duel. With this weapon in her hand, Alex is now 100% in winning this fight. 

Alex chose to think of trivial matters later, seeing the little timer ticking in the middle of the weapon's handle. 

"How??" Ezekiel laid his eyes on Alex as she started walking while dragging the great ax on the ground. 

He wondered how the heck did Alex manage to lift and use the great ax.

When he took out the weapon stuck on his chest earlier, it became so heavy once he detached it from his armor. He wasn't even able to lift the great ax slightly once it became so heavy. That is why the weapon dropped with a loud clattering noise. 

Without any clue how Alex did such a feat, he continued to stare at Alex so hard as if he was looking at a different person. He already saw her use all kinds of weapons and train seriously and fought her father, which will always result in her changing her aura. Yet the girl he's looking at right now is nowhere near the scariest state he has seen from her.

"Death..." That was the only thing Ezekiel can think of looking at Alex.

Even the onlookers in the plaza and the ones watching the stream felt the chills on their bones. It was as if death herself descended, preparing to claim everyone's life. 

Akkar was the most affected person of them all, being the target of Alex's outrageous bloodlust. All the muscles in his body trembled as he stared at death, slowly walking towards him. 

He can't even move a muscle to run away. He just stood there waiting for the grim reaper to claim his life. 

...

"Holy sh*t, why do I feel that she is even scarier than watching horror films?" 

"Is that girl still even a human??" 

"My hands... my hands are shaking..." 

"Mommmm!!!" 

Men sweated profusely; women quivered in fear while children ran to their parents. That is how great Alex is affecting everyone watching in the real world.

...

While everyone is already at their wit's end just from staring at death.

Alex, the culprit of this all, took her time as she strode towards her opponent.

It was as if she was walking in a park. 

Alex is currently oblivious of her surroundings as she focused all of her attention on her opponent.

Move!! Move!! MOVE!!!!!!!!!

Akkar's body quivered each time Alex took one step. The 15 meters distance Alex crossed felt like an eternity for Akkar as he felt dying a thousand times each step she took. He was even thinking of killing himself just to leave this current situation. 

When Alex was finally in front of him, his whole body felt relieved. The moment it realized that its suffering is now going to end. 

"Kill me..." Akkar did not even resist as he stood there staring at Alex's blank eyes.

Hearing Akkar's voice in her narrowed vision, Alex lifted the great ax effortlessly with one hand. 

SWISH!!!!

With a gentle and swift swing, Alex severed Akkar's head.

The moment Akkar's severed head and body dropped to the ground, silence followed the place as everyone felt a tingling sensation on their necks. 

Light particles then floated out of Akkar's wounded head.

[Player Alexandria has won the duel and gained 200 silver] A robotic announcement echoed throughout the plaza.

And just like that, the expected intense fight ended in a flash without any resistance. But everyone did not complain, as all of them wanted the duel to end as soon as possible. No sane person will want to stay in this kind of atmosphere for even one more second.

Then suddenly, the great ax in Alex's hand started disintegrating into nothingness as white particles covered the weapon. Shortly after the weapon disappeared from Alex's hand, the blank look on her face started returning to her usual bright and heartwarming look. 

Then the body of Akkar disappeared on the ground. At the same time, he appeared in a flash of light, two meters away from the place of his death.

The first thing Akkar did after reviving was to look at Alex, but he was too late. Alex's usual demeanor returned to normal.

...

"What the hell did I just see..."

"It was not as intense as Ezekiel's match, but it was the most nerve-wracking thing I have seen today." 

"Are martial artists this strong??"

"Bro, why didn't you say that she was that strong..." An onlooker besides Ezekiel asked him.

Ezekiel did not answer, as he himself did not know how Alex had become that strong.

...

When she felt Akkar's presence on her back, Alex turned around to immediately apologized for losing control of herself. "Sorry, mister, sorry... I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do it... I just completely lost control of myself." Alex bowed her head a couple of times in embarrassment. 

"It's okay..." Akkar doesn't know what to say, so he just patted the girl's head to comfort her.

"You have won this match fair and square." He never expected that Ezekiel's friend was this terrifying. But when he looked at Ezekiel, he got even more confused. Because out of everyone else in the plaza, Ezekiel looked to be the most puzzled.

"I'm really sorry, but I need to go now." Alex needs to find a place that is quiet enough to calm herself down. Because right now, her heart kept pounding at a rapid rate. 

Alex then ran towards Ezekiels while he grabbed his arms as they ran out of the crowd.

Is she really that same person????
