Meanwhile in the night sky...

''Okay... I don't seem to be finding any abnormalities in my body, I guess I should be okay.'' Rambled Altair to himself after self-assessing his body a few times to see if he hadn't suffered any kind of side effects due to his insane mana expenditure.

Honestly, Altair thought he was going to die.

And he couldn't forget one thing, he was flying. And this was amazing, because before even with his 'Mana Control' skill, he couldn't fly as he wanted, since his control back then was mediocre, but now with 'Mana Manipulation', it was something as easy as breathing.

The difference is amazing, but the most amazing thing is to be above the clouds.

Altair was getting a great view of the bright glow of the full moon amidst that multitude of stars in that dark sky. How could he not admire the moon? Full of phases and shapes. Bringing to it such natural beauty...

The night wind blowing in his face, it brought back beautiful memories for him.

There was that same sky that day...

When he fell in love for the first time...

On that first meeting, it was not necessarily a starry sky, although she was there.

In her eyes were two bright blue orbs, so enchanting and glittering, that they overshadowed any constellation in that infinite sea of stars. From that day on, her eyes became her most beautiful sky.

Are you happy or do you pretend to be happy?

Old memories began to invade Altair's mind.

''Whoever wants to win in life must do as his sages did... Even with a broken soul, have a smile on his lips.''

It was a young albino woman who spoke those words to him.

Altair was only 13 years old at that time. But still, he kept such a lifeless look in his eyes, and that was something that broke that beautiful woman's heart.

It's not always easy to smile when you're actually crying on the inside..." Altair replied in an emotionless voice.

Not everything is flowers, but life is beautiful, there is love. Life is worth living.'' She answered Altair with a tender smile on her face.

"Who has never stopped at the window looking up at the starry sky and thinking about life?

She asked rhetorically as she looked up at the moon in the middle of that starry sky.

"How did you get there? How would you be if some things hadn't happened? Natural philosophy of thinking beings! That's why we're at the top of the food chain.''

Not by the ability to think and reason, a computer, if well programmed, also assimilates this function. We surpass ourselves by the junction between mind and spirit. Yes, I am talking about the soul! Our feelings, anxieties, beliefs and fears are registered in it.

The way she spoke...

She was like an older sister, strict but caring at the same time...

Human science tries to understand the human mind, but there is no formula or equation to decipher our essence!

"Altair, that's the magic of living!

She finished with a big, beaming smile on her face. And this last sentence made Altair give a small smile, he knows that it is that smile that his soul needed...

And with these thoughts he finally reached the place where the two beings were waiting patiently for him.

''Looks like things are going to be tough.'' Altair thought as he watched from afar the two beings who were waiting for him.

He was surprised because even without using his God's Eye, he could feel a huge force coming from these two, but what gave him a bigger shock was the humanoid looking alligator, and the reason for that was that this alligator seemed to be dead, but at the same time alive.

Altair knew that if he wanted to have an advantage in an open fight like this, he would have to attack first, and that's exactly what he did, he didn't care about reputation or anything like that since it was just nonsense in his opinion.

So while still in hiding, he began to channel a huge amount of mana into his right arm, and when he thought it was enough, he began to compress this mana into a small blue ball the size of a baseball.

And don't think that because of its size, this mana ball is weak, because in fact it was just the opposite.

''Just one hit should be enough...'' Altair muttered, as he threw this small ball of compressed mana in the direction of the two beings that were waiting for him.

And from the side of the two beings. The alligator still had his eyes closed, waiting for his target to reveal itself, he seemed oblivious to his surroundings, or maybe he was confident enough that no one could defeat him.

''BUT WHAT?'' The man in the red suit exclaimed loudly as he felt a power rapidly approaching from the direction he was standing.

BOOM!

The mana sphere that Altair had cast hit these two beings hard, but even though it hit, he still hadn't relaxed, because he felt that these two beings weren't hurt at all. In fact, from what he could feel, these two beings weren't even hurt.

''Who was the bastard?'' The man in the red suit roared. This time he was completely furious, he a noble general of Hades, had been sneak attacked, to him this was a humiliation.

Back in the underworld, no one had that kind of courage, but here in the human world, he was sneak attacked.

''Looks like I didn't hurt my target.'' A man with golden eyes and red hair said in a quiet voice. Altair had blue manda armor around his body, this was something he had thought of after meditating for a while.

The humanoid alligator looked coldly at Altair, and even though he didn't say a word about this sneak attack, he was also annoyed, but he knew that talking wouldn't change anything, quite the opposite, it would only delay his goals.

''So you are the, Altair Lockheart?'' The man in the red suit didn't care what the alligator was thinking, because all that was going through his mind at the moment, was how he would kill this human who dared to sneak attack.

Altair seeing what the man in the red suit said, just shook his head, because he knew what he was doing, so without saying a word, he quickly advanced towards the man in the red suit, he didn't even ask the names of the two, because he felt that dead people didn't deserve to have their names recognized.

As he advanced, Altair threw some mana spheres in the direction of the man in the red suit, and seeing that the man dodged his most basic attacks, a smile appeared on his face, because this was exactly what he needed.

With a quick burst of speed, Altair got very close to the man in red, but he didn't attack, because he felt a huge killing intent coming towards him, causing him to have to quickly retreat.

''But what was that?'' Altair muttered, while he had a serious look on his face as he looked at the humanoid alligator that was watching the fight.

''That alligator seems to have some secrets...''

Altair felt that if he had continued his attack on the man in red, he would probably not only fail to injure the man in the red suit, he might end up injuring himself in the process.

''Looks like I can't let my guard down.'' With that thought, he refocused on the battle, and decided that he would go all out at once.

The man in the red suit seeing that Altair had recoiled, sighed in relief, and waved to the alligator in thanks, after all he knew that the reason Altair had backed off was because of this little help.

''Hmph, a lowly human like you will never win.'' The man in the red suit commented with contempt as he launched himself in Altair's direction. This man knew that he could not give Altair a chance to react, so he decided to stay on the offensive.

Altair, who was receiving the blows, said nothing, and just kept dodging, while looking for some gap where he could hit his enemy and end the fight in one blow.

And he didn't have to wait long, because when the man tried to punch him in the face with his left arm, he realized that a gap had appeared and decided to take advantage of it.

So without much thought Altair executed his technique.

Spinning his body at an abnormal speed, Altair kicked from the bottom up towards the chin of the man in the red suit, and this kick ended up hitting his target.

''It's over...'' Altair muttered, as he quickly delivered a quick and lethal sequence of kicks to his target.

A right leg kick to his target's head, a left leg kick to his target's legs... in total Altair delivered ten consecutive kicks in less than 1 second.

The man in the red suit couldn't even react to this sequence of kicks he was receiving, and all he could do was try to resist, but this seemed in vain, as his body that was protected with magic, was bloodied all over.

Altair didn't intend to lose his momentum, so he landed a spinning kick with his right leg on the head of the man in the red suit, knocking it off in the process. This was a frightening scene if it was seen by anyone else, since one of Hades' generals had been killed, by normal blows? That was something no one would believe.

But only Altair knew how hard he had wielded these blows.

The Humanoid Alligator didn't seem to mind the death of his ally, or rather, he even seemed to be happy with this result.

''Things are going to get more interesting...'' Alligator thought, as he continued to observe the fight coldly.

Altair tactically backed off when he saw that the man in the red suit was dead, and with a slight sigh he returned to his peak power. He felt that things would not be as easy as they seemed.

''He's still alive...'' Altair mentally muttered, as he realized that the man in the red suit who had lost his mind moved.

It was a shocking scene, as the headless body got up from the ground and went towards the head that had been ripped off, and as he reached the head that had been ripped off not long ago, the body simply picked it up and connected it back to the body, something really shocking even for someone like Altair.

Altair kept his expression cold as he saw the man in the red suit staring at him with a smile on his face. His senses were constantly warning him about the danger of these two beings.

''Hehe, did you really bite my head off?'' The man in the red suit said with an ugly smile on his face, this was the second time in his entire life that he had lost his mind.

The first time was when he met Hades, at that time he was a lawless person who would never submit to anyone, so Hades just ripped his head off and made him a slave controlled by an unknown magic.

The man in the red suit clearly remembers the feeling of losing his head, it was terrifying, even if he doesn't die by having his head ripped off, it was still a desperate feeling, and also very painful.

Also, even if he doesn't die by having his head blown off, his lifespan still drops by a large margin, and if it weren't for that he really would be an immortal who feared no one.

''You know, you really pissed me off... I'm going to make sure to rip off every piece of his body, and then I'm going to reconnect them so I can dismember him again.'' The man in the red suit commented, as if he could already imagine the scene of Altair being dismembered by him.

Altair seeing that the man in the red suit was already prepared knew that this would be the final battle before he faced the humanoid alligator, who seemed even more dangerous than this man in the red suit.

''Alright...'' Altair muttered, he knew that if he was careless he could end up dying, and even if he possesses the Kai Kai, he knew it wouldn't be irredeemable, especially when his skill was only at level 1.
