The guards holding firearm were all disabled by Aria. It took Rama and Sergei a few minutes to take out the rest of the two dozen guards. The gunshots and the fight make most civilians running into the hotel to find covers. Some decided to stay, it seems they really were mistreated and suffers. All eyes were staring at the two people in the middle of the courtyard.

Alex and Anton still not yet start the fight Anton was checking the condition of his crew and it doesn't look good. It seems the fastest way to finish this is to kill their leader first. Looking at Alex, Anton has murderous look in his eyes. Alex took out two pieces of katana one on each arm and ready to fight.

AAARGGHH!!

Anton advance swinging his big knife. This is the speed and blade swing strength of the peak stage mortal realm. Alex knows their strength difference. Peak stage has twice the muscle strength and senses. Peak stage mortal realm can run twice faster than high stage mortal realm. He can run a 100-meter sprint in 6 seconds. He can hit twice harder, twice body resilient, he can also see and hear better. This twice stronger is not as easy as one plus one equal two. A peak mortal realm with the same weapon and ability can fight at least 5 of the high stage realm.

Alex took a big breath, just like when he fights against the 200 death squad soldiers, he performs the breathing techniques that came with the Hexagram steps inheritance. His body became much more light and his movement turn faster.

SLAASSSHHH!!

Alex sways back a little and the big knife just missed one centimeter from his nose.

Anton continues moving forward using his big shoulder to do a body slam,

BAAMMM!!

Alex got pushed 5 meters back, but Anton felt like he just hit a pillow. Alex movement and breathing technique turn him much lighter, he didn't get hurt at all.

Anton outrages... he quickly runs up to Alex again and did a multiple Swing

SLAASSHH!! SLAASSHH!! SLAASSHH!!

Alex dodges the swing by coiling down and actually rolling to the front. Alex suddenly moves behind Anton. Alex slashes his katana but Anton speed really was faster... he already able to deflect Alex katana with his big knife.

CRAACKK!!

Another Katana broke, peak stage really is stronger... Alex jumps back a few steps.

Anton himself also feels Anxious, he almost got cut by that Japanese sword.

"who is this guy.. he really is strong! You can keep up with my speed..How many white stones did you eat?

"Six," Alex said.

"..."

"YOU LIED!!" I definitely feel many time stronger after eating more than six"

Alex with his smirk face said "really?

"Then. it's probably not the stone... it's you.. you are just a big idiot"

"!!!"

Anton was outrage... he uses all his strenght.. a full power blow...

SWWWISSHHH!!

One left step... then

Alex rotates his body full swing to the left... he dodges the big knife just a few millimeters away... hold the katana with his both hand and do a precise counter swing...

SLASSHHH!!

Alex cut Anton right in the neck...

.

heads roll.. he was beheaded...

.

.

"As I said... idiot... what a waste of spirit stone"

There was a reason Alex didn't just give 16 stones to all of his men... its called muscle memory...

The spirit stones enhance the human physical body by pushing all its muscle into its maximum limit.. legs, arms, chest, ear, nose, eyes, all bodily function muscle enhance.

But the muscle needs to adapt to the new strength. It facilitates this is by increasing the number of muscle nuclei, aka myonuclei, within the muscle cells. Human muscle needs a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition... The process decreases the need for attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory system.

By pushing the body to the limit without let the muscle 'remember' it will be like a man who normally race bikes suddenly join into the F1 racing. it has all the parts but it cants control it into its maximum.

In Anton's case, first he didn't fully use his peak stage mortal realm, second Alex just have better techniques, he has 10 years combat experience, a medium grade technique and Alex also plays with his mind by mocking him. Anton didn't get a chance to really show anything.

Alex then gathered all the survivors, he told them about the burnt village, some of them suddenly cried and thought that the same thing happened to their village as well. It seems Mr. Big really was clueless, Anton has been leading the whole time, he forces them to work by fear of safety or food. he also separates them with their families or their relatives to control them.

436 survivors, some decided to go back and check their village. Alex discourages them to do that as it is still very dangerous, but most really don't know Alex really well. Alex can only tell them about the base he prepared on east Bali, near the bay city. As for the rest who will go to his base, Alex called out a few trucks to transport all these people.

Before they go, Alex came and check Ericks and his family. Alex approach Vina

"Hello, what's your name?"

"I am Vina"

"Hi Vina nice to meet you, I have a little girl just like you... I bet you both can be a good friend"

"I am not a little girl, I am 12"

"Yes yes you are"

Alex smiles... her little brother name Jayden also the same age as Tiarra.

Alex gave special attention and treatment to Eric's family. Erics seem to be in a very bad condition, he got an accident in today's supply run. Alex feeds him one of the stone so his injury would heal faster. The wife's thanks to him for what he did to the family. For him, this whole situation brings a nostalgic feeling, a memory that happened 10 years ago. Although none of them recognize him, deep down Alex felt really good that he managed to save another family.

Alex went to check around the Hotel, and he found mountains of supplies. Mostly canned foods and dry foods, Mr. Big really was prepared, Alex roughly estimates that he has enough to feed ten thousand men for months. Alex must order the truck to return and grab the rest.

After one full day, all the hotel has been cleaned out, even all the beds and blankets. nothing left.. this group of scavengers lead by his wife are now professional home mover.

Alex and the group run back to the small village, he took the jeep and together they went back to the main base.
