459 Alex's Power

Alex looked at the bandit leader as he covered his weapons with his domain and elements. Alex said inwardly. "Sherry, you will back me up against this person. Kyle, you will back Lilian up. No need to go outside."

"Understood." Both of them said. It seemed after Kyle reached Martial King, he could also speak, so Alex did not need to hear those chirpings again.

"You… what are you…" Lilian muttered.

"What I am or who I am is not important. Just get back up and start killing them. If not, I will kill all of them." Alex said with a serious expression. He did not have any time to think about his response.

The bandit leader did not understand what just happened, but he knew Alex was a bad deal. He quickly made another black tornado.

Alex waved his sword as a Sword Wave contained his Intent and Fire flew toward the tornado.

The tornado was immediately split open the moment it clashed with Alex's sword wave. After all, the sword wave contained, not covered by his intent and fire. This way, it created an even stronger attack.

The bandit leader gritted his teeth as he avoided the sword wave. He looked at Alex in surprise. "You… What is that magic!"

They never saw a mage using weapons beside staff. However, the staff here was not that good. Only a handful of people would have powerful staff that was embedded with Element Gem, like the wind gem Alex gave to Alexa.

At the same time, Sherry and Kyle already made their firebirds. Half of them flew toward the bandit leader and the others were flying toward his subordinates.

"!!!" They tried to avoid it. Even so, he still managed to kill two people.

Looking at this, Lilian bit her lips. She endured the pain and stood up. Alex was really planning to deal with all of them if she did not stand up again. As a 6-Star, she would not let this happen. She summoned her ice and fire again and charged at the others. If she could finish all of them first, she could help Alex in defeating the bandit leader.

Alex took a deep breath before sending another Seven Stars Cut toward him.

The bandit leader tried to avoid him, but Alex was already closing in. He thrust his spear toward the bandit leader with all of his might, but surprisingly, the bandit leader covered his palm with dark fire and grabbed his spear.

The intent and fire immediately reaped his palm open but the bandit leader just endured the pain as he said. "Caught you! As expected, I only need to grab your weapon to catch you because my strength is still stronger than you."

Alex frowned as he swung his sword toward his hand to free his spear, but the bandit leader simply caught it with his other hands.

"Die!" He then covered his foot with dark matter and kicked Alex.

"!!!" Alex shifted his stance and weapons to utilize his foot perfectly. He deflected it with his right foot that was covered with his fire. There was a strange sensation in the clash between his fire and the bandit leader's dark power.

The bandit wanted to continue attacking him with his foot, but Alex did not let him. He released his sword on his right hand and turned his body over before waving his hand toward the bandit.

"Kh!" This took him by surprise. He immediately covered his hand with the dark power as he released both of Alex's weapons and jumped backward.

Sadly, he was too late. Alex covered his hand with Intent and Fire and used it to cut his right hand.

Alex grabbed his sword and turned his body again before making a round kick. Even without the sword in his hand, he still had the sword in his body. He then channeled the sword on his heart to his foot and turned his foot into his sword. This was the principle of that attack, the same attack as he used with his bare hand.

"Seven Stars Cut."

He sent a Seven Stars Cut with his foot.

The bandit immediately shot out an attack toward the ceiling to make him drop to the ground and avoid the Seven Stars Cut.

Alex did not let him have a chance to come back. He immediately leaped toward him while swinging both weapons.

"Heaven Breaking Sword."

"Berserker Strike."

The bandit rolled over on the ground to dodge this, but it still made a huge cut wound on his body. He just barely escaped that.

Alex wanted to attack him again, but the bandit leader tapped the ground with his hand and a dark hole appeared beneath Alex's feet.

"!!!" He saw many black tentacles coming from the dark hole. They were sharp.

"Boom Boom Boom!" Sherry made firebirds explode behind the bandit leader to stop his movement. She did not help Alex to fend this attack as she felt Alex should be able to solve this.

And she was right. The moment the tentacles came, Alex immediately made a burst of domain and blew those tentacles away. This was the technique that the wisps of his intents used.

Alex then leaped toward the bandit. But a few of his subordinates managed to slip away from Kyle and Lilian. They suddenly appeared beside him and attacked him, preventing him from killing their leader.

Looking at this, Alex could only kill them first. He used his overbearing intent to cut half of them while the other half was defeated by Sherry's fire.

The bandit leader took this chance to send another attack as another black hole appeared beneath Alex's feet. Alex immediately jumped backward but he was too late.

"Dark Piercer!"

Three sharp claws suddenly rose from the dark hole and grazed Alex's body. Although because of his timely reaction, it was only a small wound. The wound was still running from his waist to his shoulder.

"Sherry."

"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon." Sherry sent a phoenix toward the bandit leader.

"Dark Sphere." The bandit leader made a dark sphere, trying to hold the phoenix down.

He succeeded in it, but the real attack was Alex. When both skills destroyed each other, Alex appeared from it and cut the bandit leader.

"Imposs-!"

Alex checked his wound before going to the rest of the enemies. He thought he should make a Healing Pill later for a swift recovery. As for Lilian's wound, he was wondering whether to give a pill to her or not… probably the latter.

They managed to wipe the bandits out quickly. Before Lilian could ask, Alex immediately said. "We need to go back to the special room and evacuate them."

"..." Lilian stared at him for a while before nodding. She knew Alex did not want to talk about it.

"And don't talk about it to the people in the guild. Do so, let see if you can stop me from leaving the guild." Alex said coldly. Upon this, he did not need to partner up with her again for a mission since he needed less than a thousand points to become a Gold Mage.

Lilian sighed and nodded. She hated lying, but hiding about it was a different matter. She nodded her head and said, "Alright. You are not going to hurt the people from the guild anyway."

They then started helping the women from earlier and came back to the town. The people were overjoyed to see their families again and thanked them. That night, they were dressing their wounds before going back on the next day.

…

Meanwhile,

Anya got a call from Nano.

"Mistress, there was a weird situation in the guild earlier. I was not there at that time, so this was what happened a few days ago just right after his majesty left the town." Nano did not bother calling Alex with Young Master again since Alex was his king. In fact, all of his spirits wanted to call him their king if not because of his order.

"Hmm… What is it?"

"It seems there is an Elven Princess coming to the guild to search for His Majesty and that woman," Nano said.

"Oh." Anya frowned. "For what?"

"I don't know. It is still unknown to others, but I feel it is related to the Elven Royal Family."

"What about your investigation status for this kingdom?" Anya asked.

"I have finished my basic investigation. I will be reporting to you after this." Nano replied.

"Go to the Elven Kingdom after this and investigate them thoroughly. They have Martial Emperors in their ranks. Depending on the situation, I might summon all the other spirits for another war."

"His majesty should be tired from many wars since we have fought with the Zhou Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, Mount Hua Sect, and Brynhildr Kingdom. It might be a bad thing to get another war this soon." Nano said, concerned.

"I know. It will depend on the situation, but I also wish to stop it before moving toward that direction. Albeit, if needed, Alex would surely take his weapon again. He is not that weak. Even in his previous life, he had killed tens of millions, if not a few hundred million people.

"I believe, as long as he still has the belief in his heart and knows what he is fighting for, he will not fall into darkness." She said.

"I understand. I will investigate them to make sure another war won't happen. Besides, we can also kidnap this princess and make her a hostage to meet their ruler, so we can challenge their trial." Nano said.

"We will see the situation first," Anya said. "It will be the last thing we might do as even after he gets their crystal, they might try to kill him."

"And one more thing, if possible, after his majesty comes back, please advise him not to step to the guild for a while. There are many Royal Guards from the kingdoms and the rumor. The situation might go in another direction if he goes there."

"All right. I will tell him after he comes back since he does not carry my card." She nodded. "Anyway, come here first, so I will record the information in case we need it in the future.

"Understood. Long Live o' Spirit God." Nano said before leaving the conversation.

...

Sadly, Anya thought Alex's mission was something that he grabbed himself. If it were like that, Alex would surely come back first before turning his mission. Little did she know, the mission was coming from Lilian.

After finishing their mission, they started their journey back, and they immediately came back to the guild.

However, they never expected that someone had been waiting for them in the guild.

The moment they reached the guild, everyone suddenly started acting strange.

They kept staring at them, afraid of talking to them. Alex aside, they did not even dare to talk to Lilian. And both Lilian and Alex noticed this, so they immediately went to Ruby and asked. "What happens to them?"

"Ah…" Ruby also started acting strange as she did not know what to do. If she answered at this moment, Alex or Lilian might leave the guild to avoid this problem. If she did not answer, they would also get suspicious and leave.

"Just wait for the guild master, he has something for you," Ruby said after considering Lilian's instinct.

It was at this moment Seth suddenly appeared before them. "Lilian, Alexander, how can both of you do that? Please tell me the secret… I also want to get ladies from my utopia."

Both of them were baffled. They did not know what he was talking about. If only he knew it was Shelka, they would immediately understand what happened and why Seth was begging them.

The Elven Race was full of handsome men and pretty girls. However, why Seth considered the Elven as his utopia because all the girls had the same characteristic. They were flat, and as the believer of 'Flat is Justice,' Seth immediately thought he had found a haven.

Before they started suspecting, their fate was sealed as they heard a familiar voice from the entrance.

"It seems I am not late this time. I have finally met both of you again."

They turned their heads and opened their eyes wide. It was Shelka.
