Chapter 205 - 203: A Second Round?
Silence descended upon the whole stadium.
''What just happened?" Someone asked.
Elseria and Freya had a serious expression on their faces, they exchanged looks with each other. No word was needed. If their assumption was right then, this boy is ban to magicians, his Gift is the strongest.
'Even I didn't expect such surprise. Won't any magic can get canceled when fighting you?'
Artemia thought.
As if she was reading her mind Lilith said,
''There must be a limit. This time of ability must consume a huge amount of MP. I think it's not something he can use as it please.''
''I guess you're, however, that guy possesses a huge amount of MP. Even I feel envious.''
Artemia said while looking at her current MP.
If Alex was here and saw the amount of MP Artemia possesses, he would be astonished. It's 4000, 1000 less than him.
Leon was silent, however, his blood was boiling, he wants to fight Alex, to see if he could beat someone with such an absurd Gift.
Maria, Luna, and Sakuya exchanged looks, they seemed to have secretly decided something. As for the kind of decision it was, it's unknown.
On the gray robbed men's side, when they saw what Alex was able to do, the leader said.
''We must kill him.''
A bit of killing intent was leaked out by one of the members in a gray robe.
Their leader glared at the one responsible for this blunder who may cost them their lives. Fortunately, the leader made hand signs to further hide their presence.
It was what he thought. Unbeknownst to them some people took notice of this and marked them. It could be said that previously even though they were sitting around the other spectators, their presence was masked, almost like they were sitting in a different dimension.
....
Back in the arena.
The moment Alex used Silveria's special ability: Erase, to cancel Leonardo's White Nova, the latter mind turned white, he froze still.
[Tch! This ability is annoying as ever.] Arthur spat out.
Alex appeared in front of the frozen Leonardo and gave him an uppercut that sends him to the sky. He didn't stop there, using his left leg, Alex kicked Leonardo further into the sky.
''Gah"
Leonardo was sent into the sky like a rocket.
Standing on the stage, Alex aimed his guns toward the ground. Confused Silveria raised a question,
〖Master, what are you doing?〗
Alex only chuckled in response not answering Silveria's question. Action speaks louder than words, some said.
Like a child who was about to play with his favorite toy, Alex smiled, his smile was evil. It sends goosebumps to those who looked in his way.
[Phantom Bullet]
Bang! Bang!
Alex fired a phantom bullet toward the ground with Silveria, while with the second gun he used a normal bullet. The two got mixed as they strike the ground gouging it.
Boom!
A big explosion occurred that sent Alex into the sky like a rocket.
'Don't tell he is going to strike Leonardo from the sky?'
This is what running through most people's minds when they saw Alex flying in the sky.
Indeed it's what Alex was going to do.
After passing Leonardo, he did a backflip in the air before kicking Leonardo toward the ground.
Leonardo was sent toward the ground like a bullet.
Crack! Boom!
The platform cracked, Leonardo got embedded in it. He lost consciousness, everything happened too fast, so fast he couldn't react.
Alex softly landed on the ground, his guns aimed at where Leonardo was, because of the dust in the air, it was impossible to see his figure.
Somewhere in a dark place, a voice could be heard.
''I can't accept it, I will not accept it. How can he have such an ability? It's a cheat. I will not accept it, never.''
Leonardo roared, refusing to accept reality.
''Hah!"
Someone sighed startling Leonardo, he had thought he was the only one here, he appeared in this dark place the moment he lost consciousness, he doesn't even where this is.
''Who are you? Show yourself,'' he said.
''Quite shouting, you little shit. It seems you don't recognize my voice.'' Arthur said.
''Arthur?" Leonardo asked as he was not sure if it was the latter.
''Yeah, yeah it's me your sovereign. Do you wish to win?" Arthur asked.
''Yes, I want to win. I want to trample Alexander under my feet. Help me please, I will do anything.'' Leonardo pleaded.
Normally, he would have ignored Arthur because of his pride that wouldn't allow begging someone, however, decided to beg as he didn't wish to lose, especially not to his heart demon as it was what Alex is to him, his heart demon.
''Hahaha! Well said. I shall lend you a hand. Do not resist. I'll take control of your body.'' Arthur said before taking control of Leonardo's body.
Before losing consciousness for the second time, Leonardo saw an extremely handsome man wearing golden armor sitting on a golden throne, a sword in hand said,
'I shall play a little.'
~Back in reality.
Only a few seconds passed since Leonardo got embedded in the ground.
Alex who was planning to finish him stopped because a sudden chill assaulted him.
〖No good Master, please jump back〗
Silveria shouted as she could feel something fishy was going on Leonardo's side.
Alex did as he was told and jumped back as far he could.
Just after he left, there was a big explosion that destroyed what remains of the arena.
From the other side, a silhouette came out, it was Leonardo, even though his armor was cracked all over with blood on it, it didn't change the fact that he was giving Alex a pretty dangerous feeling, he was like an unsheathed blade.
*Uproar
A commotion started because Leonardo was floating in the air, the current Leonardo was different from the past one as his hair got elongated, it was purer.
Leon and the others were surprised.
'What's going on?' They thought.
Freya and Elseria stood up and activated the formation placed under the arena, immediately Alex and Leonardo got teleported somewhere else, it was a miniature world.
Freya and Elseria did this because they feel like this fight was going to be extremely dangerous. To ensure the safety of the spectators better relocate the fight elsewhere.
Leonardo (Arthur) looked around before saying,
''Shall we begin the second round?"
Alex gulped, truth be told the current Leonardo was giving an immense pressure.
〖Master, let me-〗
Alex, forestalling what she was about to suggest, spoke calmly.
'I know what you want to say but let me test him first. I can't handle him. I will listen to you.'
Silveria could only sigh as she knew once Alex decides on something, it will be hard to dissuade him not to do it.
In a way, this can be seen as a kind of training.
Looking at the floating Leonardo (Arthur) Alex said.
''Let's begin.''
