Chapter 961 - Yeti
"All of you are going to die," Aria shouted out loud, directing all her killing intent toward Perona. "Why do you have to be so petty?!"
"You lowly b*tch. Your Cypress Family is nothing in my eyes and you dared to ignore me? Only the strength is respected, so a lowly b*tch like you should bow down and lick my feet." She snorted.
'Don't kill her first, so I can torture her later. For now, I will deal with the rest.' Alex sent a thought transmission while checking her mental state.
'Thank you.' Aria appeared to be calm, so Alex gave a go.
Alex then pulled out his sword and said, "Eve, time to kill."
Eve released her energy, telling Alex that she was ready.
Meanwhile, the Rank 10 God was scared out of his life. He wanted to apologize right now because he had offended the Sword Blossom Peak's peak master.
Obviously, Silvia didn't let him and blew him away, keeping him busy while Alex killed all of them.
"!!!" Perona finally realized what was going on and glanced at Silvia, only to find herself being in danger.
Aria already appeared right in front of her, slashing her sword downwards.
Perona blocked it out of reflex, but she immediately found her strength was completely not matched to her. Only when she realized this, she checked Aria's strength, only to find it was too late. Her 2-Star Martial Saint couldn't be compared to Aria's 4-Star Martial Saint.
However, Aria had blown her away, looking at her with a cold gaze. "You said strength matters, so I will simply kill you with my "strength." Don't say I am bullying you."
Since Aria and Silvia had their own respective opponents, Alex only focused on the remaining twenty-six people.
"I will be handling all of you guys here." Alex released his Spiritual Energy. Because of Aria's strength, he had chosen to reveal his strength at 6-Star Martial Saint. It should be enough to handle everyone without raising any suspicion, considering the enemy only had one Rank 10 God, and the second strongest was only an 8-Star Martial Saint.
"All of you are truly fools. You never realize the fact that you have been played by the Cypress Family. With your arrogance, you might never remember this, but my Grayfig Family has undergone tribulations because of your arrogance. This matter can only be solved by blood.
"I will use my strength that I have hidden this whole time to show what my Grayfig Family is capable of!" Alex finally directed his killing intent to them.
This killing intent marked the start of the battle.
"Capture him. We should be able to turn this around as long as we capture him." The 8-Star Martial Saint shouted.
"Ooh! We alone are enough." There were three 6-Star Martial Saints who felt arrogant, ignoring Alex's speech earlier while walking toward Alex. One of them pointed his hand toward Aria. "All of you can go help Miss. I am sure young miss want to destroy that woman, so make sure you don't break her before we finish—Gah!"
Before he finished his vulgar remarks, Alex had sent their heads flying with a speed that they never saw.
"You all are idiots and arrogant. This is why I will show you all the things you have done to my family were wrong." Alex acted to glorify the Grayfig Family, instilling the fact that he was a patriot who had a deep hatred for the Grata Family.
"!!!" The others were shocked by his strength. "Handle him first."
As soon as he saw ten people finally heading straight at him, Alex only smiled. They were only two 7-Star Martial Saints while the rest were less than 5-Star Martial Saints. Finding this, he became even more relaxed.
Alex slashed horizontally even though they had yet to reach him. However, his weapon shone and released an extended blade of his sword, giving enough length to reach the rest.
"One Inch Spear."
The left one raised his sword, trying to stop that strike so the others could capture Alex. He was a 7-Star Martial Saint and believed that the reason the trio was killed was due to them underestimating Alex.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he still underestimated Alex's strength. How could he know Alex actually had a Divine Body.
When he blocked it, Alex used all his strength this time. Unlike the usual way where he needed to strike a Rank 8 Sword to destroy it, Alex chose to use a portion of his Divine Sword Qi instead to destroy the Sword.
The sword continued its path, severing all ten people's heads in one slash. This completely sent a shiver down their spines. Even Perona was in shock, resulting in her getting struck by Aria right on her stomach.
"Gah?!" She spat a mouthful of blood before getting blown away, crashing into the cave wall. "How dare you?! Kill her!"
Not wanting to swallow this embarrassment, Perona ordered her subordinate out loud, only to find no one coming from her.
"You have nothing." Aria smiled while glancing to the side with Perona.
They found that all the people who surrounded Alex had died. Some had their heads rolling on the ground, some were dying on the wall. Either way, none appeared to have the ability to save her anymore.
"You shouldn't look down on others. Because of your arrogance, you have angered two families. If not due to the original hatred coming from the Grayfig Family, my Peak Master and I wouldn't know about this. Unfortunately, this is something that can't be repaired. No matter how big your family's strength is, it won't stop me from killing you." Aria looked down on her while using her Sword Eye to send the powerful pressure like how she cracked Alex's mask.
"What do you want to do?!" Perona finally had fear inside her heart. "Don't touch me. My grandfather will kill you! He is a Rank 8 God. You won't dare to touch me because he will annihilate your small family!"
"Is that so? Now, I am wondering if your grandfather dares to fight my peak master instead…" She smirked, taunting her even further.
However, Alex had cleaned up the whole mess and headed toward her, leaving only one in a half-dead state that was watching him. In other words, this person could see what happened with his eyes. As long as he altered the memory a little bit, it would be the perfect chance to shift the blame to the Grayfig Family.
"If I am not wrong, you want to rape her, right?" Alex's voice reverberated on her left ear as she looked at Alex with fear.
"You… Don't you dare!" She shouted. Her sword was already far away and the other party might be faster than her since he managed to kill all her men. "My grandfather will surely kill you. Hurry up and save me. I will not tell anyone about this matter and for—Argghhhh!"
She screamed out of pain while Alex only playfully said, "Oops. My bad. I dropped my sword because I almost fell asleep from your threat."
The Sword indeed dropped and cut Perona's hand. She raised her hand with tears streaming out of her eyes.
"This is the end of our cooperation. After this, my Grayfig Family doesn't owe you anymore and will deal with the bastards from Grata Family myself." Alex said to Aria with a serious expression.
The person behind him immediately thought the way Alex hoped for.
When he said that, Silvia returned. "Since you said that, it means I won't interfere with this matter anymore. I am only here because my favorite disciple candidate has her brother bullied. Since you are going to take her life, let's use this as a warning to make that Grata Family know that if they don't want me to move, don't they dare to attack her and her family. If not, I don't mind removing the Grata Family from this world."
Alex looked at her mysteriously and clasped his hands, bowing politely to Silvia to say his thanks. However, Perona and the one man that Alex left alive could only see Gasha Grayfig, Illevis, and Aria in their eyes.
They simply weren't aware that everything was only a plot. Alex stabbed her once more, letting her scream to make it more dramatic.
Alex had a mixed feeling this time. He never did this before unless he was the one who got provoked. That was why, when the guy confirmed everything was him, Alex thought it was enough.
"Please…Spare me. I don't want to die. Spare my life…I will even warm the bed for you." Perona couldn't endure it anymore and beg for her life with tears streaming on her face due to the pain.
"Looking at your personality, you must have done this to many people besides me and my family. How many have said this line to you? Did you spare them?" Alex raised his sword and killed her. "Die…"
Alex cleaned up the blood on his sword and sheathed it again before something happened.
"Roar." A monster's roar echoed in the cave, letting its presence known to all the people inside.
Alex, Aria, and Silvia looked at the darkness.
'I will handle this. You can alter that person's memory. He is in a half-dead state, so try to make it like he is almost dead.'
'Do you want him to think that he chose to play dead, so he could inform their master to settle the grievance?'
'Yes. That sort of thing. The Grata Family knows that they can't mess with Aria with the interference of the peak master. And with how he saw me killing them brutally, the family will know that they can't have me alive because I might become a threat that will erase my family.' Alex confirmed.
'I understand.' Silvia nodded and headed back, finding the person that Alex mentioned. She kneeled down and grabbed his head, and her eyes started shining.
"Aria! Go bring your brother outside." Alex shouted.
Aria nodded, looking at her brother that fell unconscious when the battle just started.
When she left, Alex smiled and disappeared to the darkness, heading straight toward that roar.
It took him two minutes to explore the cave until he finally entered the end of the cave, which was a spacious room. To his surprise, he could see the room easily because it was bright enough. The light came from a giant crystal above them.
However, what took his attention was the Eternal Ice Flower. This was what he was searching for. If he took this, Alicia and Letizia would improve drastically. Unfortunately, he needed to slay the monster that stood in his way first.
The monster looked like an ape but had white fur. It reminded him of a certain monster.
"This is yeti? No, the power behind this yeti is not normal. His Ice Element is very strong, not losing against Alicia and Letizia…" Alex exclaimed in surprise before a monster name that could describe this monster appeared in his mind. "It's called Yachi. Like Sherry, it is considered as the ruler of the Ice…Does he stay here because he wants to transform his ice element even further?"
"…" The monster looked at Alex with a curious glance. His instinct told him not to fight this man because he had something dangerous, but the monster's instinct forbade him to bow down.
Even so, Alex thought something that normal people would think if they had the capabilities. He looked at the Yachi with a serious expression. "You should understand my words, right? I am Alexander Sirius, a Pure Fire user. I have a contract with the ruler of fire, Celestial Fox, and I have someone whose element is Pure Ice Element. Do you want to have a contract with her? I don't wish to kill you."
Alex thought the additional monster like Sherry would surely give Letizia a big boost. There was also Alicia, but this one suited the Pure Ice Element more, so he planned to get another thing to Alicia.
Unfortunately, the ape gave the same response like how a normal monster would do. Of course, it didn't have the ability to speak human languages because it had no direct contact continuously with humans. And there was no contract either.
"Roar!"
Alex somehow understood the roar that filled with anger. "In that case, let's fight. If you lose, submit to me."
"Roar!"
