"Bam!"
Alex's stomp created a huge crater on the ground and followed by Mega's scream
"Ahh!"
Even though she managed to block Alex's stomp, her hand that was holding the shield also got cracked like the ground.
Alex took advantage of his extraordinary strength to crush Mega. He looked at Mega, who was on the ground with one of her hands bent in a weird way. Alex then tried to stomp her again, but she let go of her sword and grabbed her shield with her other hand and rolled away.
Alex didn't let her go. He appeared in front of her and kicked her again.
Mega put her shield in front of her to block Alex's kick. But she was blown away by the raw strength of his kick and crashed into the wall.
It was pretty brutal from others' points of view. Mega couldn't do anything against Alex other than becoming a punching bag for him. At the same time, Alex used both of his Immovable Step or his Heavy Step to do more damage.
There was an old man that was looking at Alex with so much hatred. He had spiky white hair and hateful eyes. If a look could kill, Alex would die a few times already.
He was the uncle of the princess. He was one generation ahead of the princess and was tasked to protect her. When he saw Alex beating the princess black and blue, his heart had been full of hatred.
On the other hand, Charya only casually looked at the princess. She didn't know why Alex became like that since Song Yu only told the reason to Alex.
But she was ready to move at any time because she knew there was a guy that was looking at Alex like he wanted to butcher him. If that guy moved toward him, she would immediately intercept him.
...
Alex was continuing his tort- Ahem, his fight. He kicked the princess around the arena. Since the rule said as long, they didn't admit defeat. They could continue the fight. Alex took advantage of that rule to vent his anger.
The atmosphere around the arena became tense. They knew Mega was the princess from the Southern Kingdom. But they didn't know why Alex beat her like this. They were wondering if Alex was not afraid of Southern Kingdom retaliation.
He looked at the battered Mega. There was no trace of pity in his eyes. Alex already decided to beat this princess black and blue even if he could not kill her at this place, she would still have some pain. If she didn't die, he would kill her himself after this.
He was afraid there would be any retaliation from her like using another assassin or whatever. He didn't know whether the kingdom would do something to him because of this princess. But if they wanted to do it, Nicole and Ngina would inform him. He trusted their ability.
"You! How dare you do this to a prin-Aaah!" Before she finished, Alex kicked her again.
Mega had been beaten black and blue, and even her eyes started losing its light. Alex jumped toward her again to send another kick.
"You Brat!" The princess's uncle could not take it anymore. Alex needed to die at this moment. He was refraining himself because of Charya's glare. But it was pretty clear that Alex was torturing the Southern Kingdom's third princess in front of everyone.
This shame should be paid with blood. He released his 7-Star Martial Lord. He was going to strike Alex, who was charging toward the princess.
"Lightning Tiger."
When he tried to attack Alex, a tiger made by lightning suddenly flew toward him and tried to bite him. He immediately turned around and repelled the lightning attack.
The lightning attack came from Charya. She looked down and said coldly. "The match had yet to finish, and you should not intervene with the match."
What he was worrying at the moment was not Charya but Mega. Alex's kick almost hit her, and Mega seemed would not be able to defend this.
"Boom!"
With that loud sound, the people closed their eyes. They applauded Alex's braveness to dare to beat the princess like that. After all, what Alex did was the same as challenging the entire Southern Kingdom.
But when they thought the princess was over, the third elder stopped that last kick from Alex with his hands.
"That is enough. If you attack her anymore, you would be disqualified according to the rule." The third elder said while trying to clench his fist. Although he thought Alex had a powerful strength, he didn't know it was that strong until he caught his kick himself.
Alex looked at the third elder and took a deep breath. He looked at the half death princess. Bruised had covered her body, and her eyes had lost its light. It was not his hatred for her because of Putri alone. His hatred against John also took part in it.
When the third elder stopped him, he finally regained back his rationality.
"Thank you, Third Elder. I got my 'past anger' influenced me a little bit."
"You should calm your mind when you are cultivating. If you can't, you won't be able to reach a great high in this path."
"Yes. Thank you for your guidance."
"But, will you be alright after this? You just literally beat one of the princesses from the Southern Kingdom like this. I'm sure that it will be troublesome for you, and possibly, they would try to kill you."
"They can come if they want. I am not afraid of them."
"That's right, you bastard. We are going to pay this humiliation back." The elderly that stopped by Charya shouted.
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. "You can come if you want, but when you do, you better prepare to pay the price. I gave information that could save your entire kingdom, but what I got was this princess wanted to kill my Senior Sister and I became like that."
Even the third elder was surprised to hear this. Unfortunately, the sect master that said he wanted to protect Alex was not present since he was only going to come to the arena on the last day. If not, he might also step in to stop this.
"You talk big. Then, our Southern Kingdom will declare war with you."
They gasped. They knew that this old man was the uncle of the princess who had become this sect's disciple a few decades ago. So his word was basically true. The third elder shook his head. He thought Alex was too young and reckless.
"I am just warning you right now, so you don't say I didn't warn you earlier. Should the Southern Kingdom come to me, they won't get a war from me, but ANNIHILATION." Alex casually shrugged his shoulder like this war thing was not important to him. He went back to Charya's room.
"You talk big. You will regret saying those big words!" He looked at Alex with murderous eyes while taking Mega away. Although Mega's condition was like this, it was only a physical injury… with a bit of psychological injuries… Anyway, as long as she recovered sometime, she would be fine. But it was different from Putri. Even if Putri recovered, she would never be able to use her spear again.
Charya came back to her room. She looked at Alex and said, "You are a bit reckless there. Although the sect master said he would protect you, the opponent this time is an entire kingdom. I don't know what he will do if this is the case. I will help you, though, even if the sect won't help you."
Alex smiled. He knew that she had prepared for that when she said that. After all, with the thought of having to fight the entire kingdom alone, it was considered as a suicide.
Suddenly Evelyn also came to him and said, "Big brother, I will also help you. Even if my family doesn't help you, I will still help you. I won't be able to become what I am now without you, so this is the time to repay your favor."
Alex smiled as he patted Evelyn's head. "It is alright. I didn't lose my head when I declared that. I am happy with that thought alone, but don't worry. The Southern Kingdom is not qualified to kill me."
Even in the audience, Song Yu and Putri looked at the scene while gritting their teeth.
"Why did Alex say that? Doesn't he know that he would be chased by the Southern Kingdom if he did that? I should not tell him the entire story." Song Yu grumbled.
Putri let out some tears from her eyes. She knew that Alex did this because of her. After all, he said it himself. She gritted her teeth. If she had her spear, she would fight together with him till the end. She would point her spear to her kingdom, her family, or even her parents.
She knew that Alex, Song Yu, and Charya were the closest one she had, and that would never change. She was just frustrated that it was because of her that they did this, and she could do nothing.
Song Yu looked at her, thinking whether she should ask her sister for this. She could just ask her to bring him back to the Blackwade Clan to protect him.
There were two reasons why she wanted to do that. Firstly it was his identity as the VIP cardholder. And the other reason was Alex's talent. Alex had a high talent in sword and Alchemy. Considering his progress, he might surpass her if he had enough resources in the future.
The tournament continued, and as expected, the situation became tense after Alex's fight. Fortunately, there was no fight like Alex's fight. If not, they didn't know what would happen next. In this tournament, the biggest event was really the fight between Putri and Intan.
Because of that fight, Alex beat Mega black and blue, and the situation turned like this. They were wondering if Alex won once again, he would meet Intan today. They became tense, wondering what would happen if they met.
And two hours later,
The third elder announced, "Alexander Sirius versus Supermart."
Alex was surprised to hear that word. He couldn't help but thought, 'Supermart? You mean there is a grocery store in this world?'
But when Alex arrived at the arena, he saw the shirt that this 'Supermart' wore, he knew he was wrong. There was his name on his shirt with two lines on it. 'uper' and 'mart' with a big S that were supposed to add those two words.
He looked at the blue-haired guy in front of him with a weird expression. It seemed that his parents wanted to name him Super Smart, but they thought by making it like this sound cooler, so they did. Obviously, they didn't know anything about Supermart, AKA grocery store. If they knew they wouldn't name their son like this.
Alex wanted to laugh in his sour mood, but it would be too rude. He indeed remembered Maxwell's advice for someone's name. He should not laugh at someone's name since they had their own naming sense.
But what he found next made him shocked.
"You should not treat a lady like that. Even you would not want to be treated that way. I will beat you black and blue, so you understand what kind of pain she was going through because of you, so you don't repeat something like that." He said righteously.
Alex twitched his eyebrows. All that 'Super Smart' thing immediately crumbled inside his mind. He even thought about switching that 'mart' word with 'illy' so he could read it Super Silly.
As soon as the match started, Alex immediately used his full power to suppress this person. It seemed he was the 15th person in the ranking, but he was wondering if he forgot that he could defeat Elise, who was the former 10th.
He was indeed prepared to counter Alex's style of running sword, but it was futile. The princess solution for his Running Sword was better than this guy, and after a few moves, Alex defeated him.
