Six days had passed since that night with Elyria.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, Alex couldn't forget it.
He could still feel the overwhelming, crushing force of her palm strike. It hadn't felt like being hit by a person. It felt like being struck by a cataclysmic wave that had swept him off his feet and slammed him into the wall like he weighed nothing.
One single attack. That was all it took.
In that moment, Alex had truly understood the terrifying gap between realms. The difference between Enhanced and Apex wasn't just a matter of strength. It was like the difference between a candle and the sun.
And he wanted to bridge that gap as fast as possible.
He had dedicated every waking hour to training. Morning, afternoon, and night... he pushed his body to its limits inside Viktor's basement facility.
The only thing that mattered to him now was Battle Sense.
And it had paid off.
[Battle Sense: 5%]
