Alex and the Apocalypse

Chapter 51 | The Intense Fight

"Why are you doing this?" Alex asked, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and defiance. "Don't you even have a name?"

The man, now identified as John, sneered at Alex's question. "Oh, you little brat! Do not underestimate me," he replied, his tone dripping with arrogance. "I do have a name, and it is John."

Alex's eyes narrowed, his determination unwavering. "You don't deserve that name," he retorted, refusing to show any sign of fear.
John's fury ignited at Alex's words. "What did you say?" he growled, his anger palpable.

Undeterred, Alex continued to mock John, his words laced with defiance. Deep inside, he reached out through telepathy, calling upon his father for help, hoping to save Haney and Nathan from this dangerous individual.

Haney and Nathan, sensing the escalating tension, stood by Alex's side, ready to face whatever came their way.

"You have truly tested my patience!" John exclaimed, his frustration evident.

With a swift gesture of his hands, Haney and Nathan were lifted into the air, gasping for breath.

Fear and concern washed over Alex as he witnessed his friends being held captive by John's powers. "What are you doing?" he demanded, his voice filled with genuine concern for his friends' well-being.

As Alex witnessed his friends being held captive by John's powers, his mind raced, desperately searching for a way to save them. He knew he had to act quickly before it was too late.

Just as hope seemed to fade, Alex's father appeared, emanating a powerful celestial energy. With a determined expression, he unleashed a blast towards John, expecting it to have a significant impact. However, to everyone's astonishment, John remained unaffected, not even flinching at the attack.

Gab, Alex's father, was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.

"Who is this man?"

Gab wondered to himself, his gaze shifting from John to his son, Alex. Before he could fully process the situation, a sudden burst of fire engulfed him.

"Dad!" Alex cried out, his heart filled with worry and fear.

"I'm okay, son!" Gab reassured him, his voice strained. Despite his words, it was evident that he was struggling to maintain his composure and stand upright.

In a split second, Alex instinctively moved to shield his father, knowing that John was about to unleash another devastating blow. With a swift motion, he positioned himself between his dad and the imminent danger, determined to protect him at all costs.

With determination burning in his eyes, Alex reached into his pocket and retrieved a small seed. Ignoring John's mocking words, he focused solely on his plan. Closing his eyes, he began to recite an incantation, channeling ancient energy through his words.

"Grow! (Avxane)," Alex commanded, his voice filled with power and conviction.

John's expression shifted from arrogance to shock as he witnessed the astonishing sight before him. The seed in Alex's hand began to sprout and grow at an incredible speed, its roots extending towards John with a forceful determination.

The roots of the rapidly growing plant entangled John, immobilizing him and rendering his powers useless. In this moment of distraction, Nathan and Haney seized the opportunity to break free from John's grasp, escaping his malevolent influence.

Relief washed over Alex as he witnessed his friends' liberation. The power of nature had come to their aid, turning the tide of the battle in their favor.
