"All of you are going to die," Alex said coldly as he charged at them with his fused domain.
"What? Did those two domains fuse together?" The crown prince was startled when he saw Alex's Sword Domain and Spear Domain fused together, creating a brand new intent. He also could feel the sheer power of that intent, it was far sharper than any Sword or Spear Intent.
"You… you monster! Attack! Attack him! We have three thousand, while there are only a few of them!" Cromwell shouted.
The soldiers could not reject his order, no, the royal family's order, even if it meant death. They could only grit their teeth and started charging toward him.
Alex then took out twenty swords and let them dance around him. He thought about using his fire too, but he felt he would not be able to control them even if he summoned them. It seemed his mental energy was still not enough. But these swords alone were enough. It was like there were twenty people fighting with the soldiers.
He controlled the swords skillfully and killed the closest soldiers one by one. But there was suddenly a notification from the system.
[Mission: Kill Cromwell
Reward: Inventory Optimization]
[Since you are fighting, I will immediately explain this Inventory Optimization for you. It is the function that you have been waiting for. You will be able to store back everything, no matter how far they are, as long as they are coming from this system.]
Alex only smiled, "You truly know how to fire me up, don't you? But I like it."
He started marching forward to the soldiers like a god. His Swords were covered by this Twin Intent as they cut the soldiers one by one like nothing.
Of course, Alex also managed a considerable distance with the soldiers so he would not get surrounded by them. He wanted to make sure that Leoz and Anna were not disturbed.
"Hii!" Seeing Alex come closer, the crown prince started to panic. He saw the soldiers were cut down one by one like nothing. He should bring more Martial Lords if he knew this would happen. The two 7-Star Martial Lords had their hands full because of Anna. Oliver was the same. Even though he had some advantage because Leoz had exhausted his energy, he could not beat Leoz.
Looking at their condition, he decided to run away. But in the back, he saw a few people trying to break their formation apart. Although they were only a small number, besides the golden-haired beauty, all of them were Martial Lords. And their fighting power was crazy.
But, looking at the golden-haired beauty that looked like she was commanding those people, he knew as long as he killed this woman, everything would go to his way. He immediately flew to the back with his sword.
He saw that Cromwell was trying to do something and when he looked at whom he was looking for, Alex saw Anya. When Alex saw this, he immediately let go of the control of his sword. Those twenty swords fell to the ground simultaneously.
*Clang Clang Clang! *
The soldiers around him were confused, but nonetheless, they started charging toward Alex.
"Kill him!"
"I don't know what happens, but this is the time we kill him!"
"Save the princess!"
Alex shouted, "Kyle will protect Evelyn. Sherry will take over my position and burn all of them!"
An array suddenly appeared beneath his feet. That array immediately stopped the soldiers' advance because they did not know what Alex wanted to do. But before they knew it, Alex suddenly disappeared.
Cromwell suddenly felt an overbearing pressure in front of him. Alex's figure suddenly appeared thirty meters in front of him, holding his sword and spear high. Alex suddenly swung both of them down.
"Seven Stars Cut!"
Both weapons made a single sword wave, flying toward the crown prince. But because of his speed, the crown prince could not dodge this.
When he realized what happened, he felt pain on both of his arms. He looked down only to see both of his hands were missing.
"Ah, ah, Aaaargh! My hands!" The crown prince shouted in pain.
"Your highness…"
"His hands…"
Alex only looked at him coldly, he felt this would be the perfect time to do it.
"Pure Fire!"
…
Meanwhile, Leoz was trying to beat him but to no avail. He only had around ten percent of his Spiritual Energy left, and he never expected that he had yet to level up after this whole time. Maybe because he fought with the Zhou Soldiers previously, he forgot that because of that blood pill, their average cultivation was higher, bringing him more EXP.
This was the reason why he had yet to level up even with Alex and Anya's group killed more than a hundred.
He saw Anna start getting some advantage in her fight against two 7-Star Martial Lords. He shouted, "Oi, Anna. Don't you think this is the perfect time to use your True Spirit Body? I am sure with these many people, you will be able to level up too. That way, we won't need to worry even if they have any reinforcement."
"Shut up! I will immediately activate my True Spirit Body as soon as I kill these two guys. We are waiting for you to level up." She snorted.
"Do you think we are that easy, you woman!" They did not understand what she meant by level up, but they knew she thought lowly about them.
Oliver was also mad. He tried to pin this 6-Star Martial Lord down but to no avail. However, suddenly he felt some suppression from behind. The fire inside his body was revolting. It was like they were overjoyed and wanted to meet their king.
He even had an urge to kneel, but he held that feeling back. He glanced at the back and found Alex's surrounded by fire. The fire was so intense that he even felt the heat from his position. Along with the suppression in his body, he was dumbfounded, "He… he… he is a Pure Fire Element user!"
"Don't you dare to ignore me!" Leoz used the shock that Alex made to take Oliver by surprise.
But as expected from a 9-Star Martial Lord, even in that shock, he managed to regain his composure at the last second. He raised his sword to block Leoz's giant sword. But because this took him by surprise, Leoz was able to pin him down.
"Not good! He has a Pure Fire Element. Our Sect is full of Fire Element users! I will need to kill him in this place!" Oliver said as he took out a pill from his pocket. It was the Rage Pill, the same pill that Intan ate to fight Alex.
Leoz used every bit of his power, creating a giant crater just because he pinned this Oliver to the ground. At least, he wanted to hinder Oliver from eating that pill.
Unfortunately, Oliver managed to eat the pill. Leoz felt the surge of power from Oliver as he slowly pushed his sword back until finally, he blew Leoz away.
Leoz was blown away to the sky. He looked at Anna, "Oi, Anna. The situation is not good. You should-!"
Before he finished, he also felt the surge of power in his body. It felt like all the energy was coming back to him.
"Hahaha… I have waited for this for so long!" Leoz laughed as his body was covered by Lightning. He just leveled up to 7-Star Martial Lord. He flew toward Oliver, who was trying to get up and attack Alex and swung his sword down.
"!!!" Oliver also felt his presence. And he was surprised Leoz suddenly got powered up. "You… 7-Star Martial Lord!"
"Our King is not the like of you can kill!" Leoz said. He even reverted back to the old way as he addressed Alex with 'King.'
"Not good!" Oliver sweatdropped when he felt Leoz's new power. It was already troublesome to deal with him when he was a 6-Star Martial Lord. And to think he suddenly became a 7-Star Martial Lord with full energy. Even his Rage Pill would not be enough to stop this man.
When Anna saw this, she only smiled. "See, you don't need me to use my True Spirit Body. I better reserve my energy first."
…
Back to Alex,
The moment he let out his Pure Fire. Around ten percent of the soldiers felt the suppression. It was not like when he fought with Kyle, where Alex needed to concentrate all of his power to suppress Kyle's flame.
Alex was already a Martial Lord, whereas these soldiers were only Martial Grandmasters, and most of them were only mid-level Grandmasters. The moment he released it, he did not need to suppress them as they already felt a certain suppression that made them want to kneel down.
"Oi? What happened to you?"
"What are you doing?"
The soldiers found out that many people around them were clenching their hearts like they were in pain. They did not know what happened to them, but judging from the situation, there was only one possibility, which was Alex.
"You…!" The crown prince was still in pain after losing both of his arms. Even so, he forgot about his pain in a few seconds when he felt Alex's fire. He was the closest one to Alex, and the heat was scorching his skin.
Luckily, Evelyn was unconscious. If not, it would be a bit problematic.
"How can you have two elements?!" The crown prince roared. He never saw anyone who had two elements. His Space element was already surprising enough as it was one of the rarest elements in the world. But to think that his Fire Element was this intense.
Although he did not know Alex's fire was a Pure Fire element, the heat alone could tell him that it was a powerful Fire Element.
"You… how can that b*tch get you under her?" He was shouting like he was crazy. Maybe, the fact about Alex had already wrecked his mind.
"You call your own sister a b*tch?" His eyebrows twitched when he heard Cromwell called Evelyn with 'B*tch.' Alex remembered that even though he was beaten by his little sister back on Earth, he never even had that kind of though. He was still his little sister.
"What's wrong with me calling her b*tch. She is just a lowly princess that was born from a concubine. Her blood is not as pure as mine. I am the true successor of this kingdom because I was born from the king and the queen." Cromwell shouted to him in madness. Even his eyes bulged a little when he said that.
"Is that really important? Concubine and the like? The more you tried to convince the others you are the true heir, the more you appeared like a fool. Truly pathetic. The fact that a concubine can even birth a monstrous child and the brother wants to kill her because of jealousy. This is why I hate this world." Alex said coldly.
The soldiers who heard that were shocked. They never thought the calm crown prince turned out to be like that. They thought this was to protect the princess from the kidnapper. But they never thought that it turned out that the crown prince was jealous of Evelyn.
Even if he managed to 'rescue' her, there might be another story for later. And the fact that Alex had two elements as well as two intents. They were wondering what kind of monster they just offended. Even with the shout from the Crown Prince did not manage to make them move.
"Kill, kill him! What are all of you doing? Hurry up and kill him!" Cromwell shouted to those soldiers around him.
The soldiers could not move because of the shock. Alex took this chance to suddenly appear beside the crown prince and
sent a kick to his face and blew him away.
"Boom!" He crashed into a giant rock. The soldiers who saw that became pale.
Alex stated once again, "All of you will die."
