Chapter 159: Oath of lightning, Promises
Due to how powerful this masked human was and how he had been scaring her, Alicia had thought that Alex was an extremely old man who was almost at the end of his life and had taken a path in some dark magic experiment which was how he was able to use two elements instead of the usual one.
Also, topics like dark magic experiments were usually involved with hideous side effects such as the experiment affecting the face or causing health problems to the person involved.
This had further led to her imagination of Alex being an old man with a very scary or unsightly face, which is why he wore that white mask around. Plus, his scary attitude didn’t help change her thoughts but strengthened them instead.
So when Alex finally took off his mask and revealed his face, Alicia was shocked beyond words upon seeing him. He wasn’t some cruel-looking old man who was at the end of his life as she had expected; instead, he was a very handsome human male and looked extremely young!
He looked only a few years older than her human form!. ’Could this be the effect of another one of his experiments?’ Alicia thought to herself, unable to accept that Alex’s current face was real.
"W-why do you look like that?" Alicia, unable to hold herself back despite how much she fears Alex, blurted out the question.
"Like what?" Alex asked back with a raised eyebrow. Wondering whether he was supposed to look like a sheep to the windrend.
"Like that, a young adult human," Alicia explained.
Alex stared at her blankly before responding that it was because he was a young adult human and wasn’t even 20 years old yet.
Alicia "..."
Impossible! How could that be? How can a human who isn’t even 20 years old be so strong? Not even those from big families in other advanced cities were so powerful.
Alicia didn’t believe Alex in the slightest and told herself that he was lying to her for some reason.
