BOOOOOM!

The attacks of the void creatures hit the spot Alex laid with deadly precision. The waves of energy spread out from the spot.

The void creatures quietly observed the spot their attacks impacted and waited for the results. And when the waves of energy dissipated, Alex was nowhere to be found.

The conclusion―completely erased from existence. With nothing else to do, the void creatures hovered in their spots and let out low growls and screeches.

"Well, that was something..."

Suddenly, the void creatures heard the annoying sound of their prey; prey that was supposedly obliterated.

Quickly turning around, the void creatures saw Alex standing at the far end and close to one of the paths. His spear was held behind his back.

Without time to waste, the creatures growled, screeched and roared as they rushed after him once more. They care little about how he survives, so far as he was standing, he wasn''t dead.

...

Moments earlier, when the attack was just an inch from Alex, he felt a new thrill wash down his body and the energy infusion was almost intoxicating.

Everything slowed down; the energy beam in his face, the void creatures, and even the air particles slowed to a pause. Everything was within his vision and in that moment, he knew something had been triggered.

He felt it and the reason was at the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn''t remember. Putting that aside, he slowly stood up and moved out of the way of the energy attack.

His movements were seemingly slow to him, but to the rest of the world, his movement was so swift that all watching students missed him. Many even thought he was hit.

However, the instructors and the truly powerful. All those watching in the shadows instantly knew that the power Alex was showing was out of his current level.

It was impossible.

"What just happened?"

An instructor asked and turned to look in the direction of Instructor Horvey. However, whatever explanation he wanted was not going to be found as the instructor he was looking at had the same dumbfounded expression on his face.

Almost.

From a low level Class F awakened to a peak Class E awakened. No one was sure how such a thing was possible. Students were confused and could only speculate.

And to those who knew more about Alex, guessed it had to do with the special energy he used.

''Void energy...'' Hunter Zol thought to himself, keenly aware of the principal still standing behind him.

Alex decided to decipher the reason behind his power boost once he made it out of the labyrinth. Right now, he had some void creatures to eliminate.

In an instant that the coming creatures missed, Alex appeared above them, a little over one hundred metres.

He brandished his spear and directed the blazing mana around him into the spear, instantly lighting up the spear in the same golden glow.

And even then, the glow around him did not die down, his eyes blazing with the same light, only fiercer and menacing.

With a desire to test out his newfound strength, Alex decided to go all out in his throw.

The aim on the creatures was still and true as in his vision, they might as well not move at all.

WHOOSH!

He finally threw his spear at speeds he was shocked to witness. The instant the spear left his hand, it impacted.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The resounding explosion was deadly, and devastating, destroying everything in its path; the void creatures, the large hall, the labyrinth walls that were supposedly indestructible; nothing was left.

Everything went boom as the golden glow energy from the spear spread out in a large sphere and grew outwardly.

Alex hovered above the explosion as he observed everything. If it wasn''t for the dense material the labyrinth was made of, the explosion would have been more powerful than anything he had unleashed before.

Suddenly, Alex''s vision went black out of nowhere. He saw nothing, felt nothing, and when he regained his vision, ...

"What the hell...?"
