Chapter 462 - 449: The Unusual Dungeon 2; Time Decay
At the same time that the girls were searching for the exit for the next floor, Alex arrived at the location where the entrance of the dungeon was, and like the girls, before him, he used the Vanishing Bullet to conceal his presence before calmly walking toward the dungeon; however, just as he was about to pass the twelve guards something unusual happened, a red light was emitted and tried to cover Alex's body.
''Intruder!" Roared the twelve guards as they unsheathed their swords and looked around them; they received this device fifteen minutes ago; it was said that it could detect anything nearby even though this thing used high-level concealment. It was because of this thing that Alex's presence got revealed; even though they couldn't locate his exact location, the guards knew that there was someone there; thus, they unleashed all their attacks at one point, and strangely Alex happened to be there.
Alex sighed before using Time Stop on the men before simply walking away. By the time he left, the combined attacks of twelve men had crashed where he was, leaving a deep crater there. Unfortunately, the guards didn't see anything inside this crater; they concluded that the detection stone might have malfunctioned.
On the other hand, Alex, who successfully passed through the guards, arrived in a forest-like Lilith and Sakuya; however, unlike them, this forest was composed uniquely of dead trees, immediately following his arrival, the same restrictions was put on him, and a horde of monsters appeared and launched attacks on him.
Twelve Orcs attacked Alex from all sides, although his strength was reduced, Alex was able to dodge their attacks and counterattacked perfectly, blood splattered the ground as heads flew, the twelve Rank 5 Orcs couldn't last ten minutes against Alex as he harvested their lives as if he was the Grim Reaper.
Alex frowned after checking his status; somehow, he didn't gain anything after killing twelve Rank 5 Orcs.

Except for his two new techniques, Drifter and Time Decay, and an increase in Defense stat, Alex didn't gain anything; the increase in defense must have been due to his body strengthening.
The description of his new Special ability was the following.
{Time Decay: Special bullet that could accelerate the target age, making the target older. The more mana spent more damage would be dealt.
Basic Mana consumption: 500.}
''I see; no wonder my clone and I were almost disappeared after this bullet touched him. This a good bullet, with this I have gained another trump card.'' Alex mumbled, and Silveria, who was reading the description about Time Decay for the time, was surprised; not even her previous owner thought about something like this; therefore, she couldn't help but become curious as to how Alex came up with this ridiculous ability if Nyx was present she would have been shocked as well.
〖Master, how did you manage to create this bullet?〗The curious Silveria asked this; Alex stopped and chuckled before answering.
''It's just come to me like that, to tell you the truth, my goal, in the beginning, wasn't that. First, it thought, what would happen if I combined Time Acceleration and Time Stop in one point? My real aim was that I wanted to create a bullet capable of stopping the flow of Mana or increase the amount of Mana inside my enemy body, making it explode, but the result was beyond my expectation; I never thought that something this ridiculous would be created instead of what I wished to create, I'm happy that I've created this dreadful ability.''
〖I see. It's a great ability I can't wait to see the damage it would do once inside your enemy.〗Silveria declared, and Alex smiled, he wanted to say that the opportunity to test his new ability had come sooner than anticipated, but he decided not to, as it was better to show her than saying it.
Alex dodged the huge ax flying toward him by leaning back; soon, he heard the roar of a monster running toward him.
''Roarrrr!"
This roar shook the dead trees; some weaker trees fell. At the same time, a huge monster jumped toward Alex and aimed his hand forward, somehow that ax that passed above Alex's head appeared inside the huge Ogre's hand, and he swung toward Alex, who was leaning towards the ground; Alex smiled before using Time Stop on the giant Ogre making him freeze while he followed with another attack, the silver gun was aimed at the Ogre who had its time stopped, and gray light burst out of the gun's muzzle, a gray bullet tore through the air and collided against the Ogre's head, knocking it back before Time resumed for the monster, unfortunately before the monster could enjoy it, misfortune struck.
The gray bullet that pierced through the monster's head started working; gray light covered the Ogre's head for a brief moment before, under Alex's astonished eyes, the Ogre's head turned into a skull along with its neck. The mighty Rank 8 Ogre died like that with its head and neck turned into bone as if it had aged hundred years. Alex gulped when he saw this before he started laughing.
''This is good than I have expected. Hehehe! I can't wait and test it on human's opponent to see the result.'' He said and looked at the fallen Ogre; Silveria stayed silent; she was shocked by the strength of Time Decay. With this ability and Alex's unknown ability, she believes that he could create a miracle, do something his predecessor couldn't do; thinking about such a possibility brought a smile to her face.. She wanted to be present when the legend was made.
