Ch 22 – Capital Riot
"Hehehe... Dirty slum rat, huh? Then let this little rat remind you that whether it's a noble or a commoner, whenever they are hurt, each of them would have the same blood color." Alex walked out unscathed, an evil chuckle hanging on his face while his cold eyes stared down at Alecdora as a thick killing intent filled the entire room.
Alex's icy cold voice brought an invisible pressure that descended on everyone's body, causing their knees to buckle with the member of the golden dawn at its center.
Alecdora's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat and a chill ran down his spine as he used his entire will to resist bending down his knee in front of Alex.
Alex looked at Alecdora and smirked, his lip rising from one side into a provocative smile.
"I also have no interest in making acquaintance with bugs like you. I chose people that I eat and drink with. And trash like can't even make it in that list in their entire life."
Saying that, he walked past him, not putting him in his eyes.
Alecdora was trembling in his spot, his shoulders shivering.
Humiliation!
Utter Humiliation!
In his entire life, Alecdora had never been humiliated to this extent by anyone. He grinded his teeth and jumped to his feet. He turned around to face Alex and teach him a lesson.
But the next moment forced him to swallow his words back. A small earthquake erupted in Alecdora's eyes as he flinched uncontrollably.
'How come my body is…..?'
Just when he turned around, he found himself face to face with Alex's icy gaze, his body felt as heavy as if he was floundering in deep water or some such. The scene in front of his eyes changed and he was enshrouded in darkness with two giant eyes glaring down at him.
"Huu... H... Huu..." Alecdora couldn't help but take deep breaths, kneeling down in front of Alex with a grave expression.
"Oye, Kid! It's enough. You're causing- Heok!!" A young boy of average height with long, messy vermilion hair stepped up and tried to stop Alex but a single gaze of him instantly made him take a step back in fear, not wanting to involve himself in the mess anymore.
Suddenly, out of nowhere another powerful aura appeared, trying to pressure Alex.
"You filthy rat! You're standing in front of the royalty. How dare y-" Nozel Silva, the captain of the Silver Eagle, walked toward Alex with an annoyed expression.
"And so what?" Alex cut him off as he slowly turned around, unfazed by Nozel's aura, staring straight into his eyes.
Instantly, a darker red aura originated from Alex's body, covering the entire room as a terrifying mighty yet wild pressure forced everyone below Captain rank to buckle their knees and fall to the ground.
The dense red aura took the shape of a dark mythical creature, glaring at Nozel with intense bloodlust, wanting to devour him.
Even Charlotte and Fugeleon were taken aback, feeling a massive weight fall on their shoulders.
Out of instinct, their mana leaked out covering their bodies to protect them.
Nozel on the other hand was overwhelmed by fear as his heart was gripped by a grave feeling. Gazing into those emotionless eyes, Nozel had the feeling of being drowned in an endless abyss.
"M... Mana?!" Charlotte was the first to cry out in horror. 'This is mana! And it feels... so familiar. Just like that person...'
Fugeleon stared at Alex in shock. "Asta can use magic too?"
'How can a young boy possess such heavy and dense mana? What is his origin?... Right now, we have to stop him...'
He glanced at Charlotte who was rooted in shock, staring at Alex. He shouted at her to bring her out of her thoughts.
"Charlotte!"
Charlotte glanced at the captain of Crimson Lion, understanding his signal. Nodding her head, she gripped her sword, ready to strike.
'I have to ask him!... He must have a clue of his whereabouts...'
But before it looked like things were going out of hand, Alex took a deep breath, retreating the mana back into his body.
Taking a last glance at Nozel, he sneered and walked over to the window.
"Asta, you..." Fugeleon called out to Alex but he only replied without looking back.
"Sorry, Captain. But the job calls my attention. The capital is under attack!"
As to answer his words, a huge explosion occurred outside in the capital, even shaking the place they were at.
Alex ignored them and jumped out of the window, leaving the destroyed hall.
A guard came running, barging into the room as he shouted. "T-Terrible News!"
"What is it?" Fuegoleon asked.
"The Royal Captial... is under attack!!" The guard shouted in horror.
"What?!" Everyone cried out in unison.
While the magic knights began to formulate a plan to deal with the crisis, Alex stared at the streets filled with zombies, searching for his target while also thinking about his next move.
'Should I prevent this event or let it play as it is supposed to go... It is really a hard choice... Anyway, it is time to move.'
His figure blurred as he disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, somewhere in the city, a young man of average height with long, messy, light purple hair and a blue eye was standing in front of a young girl looking at her with a playful smile, like a child staring at a toy. He was wearing a dark red bandage that covered his forehead and left eye with a light green eye ornament on top of the latter.
He was amused, finding the despair expression on her face quite satisfying.
"Little Lady... do you like the kingdom of clover?"
The little girl was cowering in fear, with her eyes wet with tears, watching the scary face of the man. She stuttered, "I do like it... So, please... don't do this to me...!"
Rades chuckled before he smiled like a maniac. "Well, I... hate it with passion!!!"
He spread his hands, laughing while staring at her. "And that's why I'm destroying it all! The Town... The people in it... And you too, girlie!"
However, just at this exact moment, a person appeared behind, speaking nonchalantly.
"Hmm... do you feel superior by bullying a child? How about you play with me instead?"
"Huh?..."
*Boom!*
Rades was startled by the sudden voice and turned his head only to get a fist landing on his face which sent him flying as he collided with a wall.
Alex ignored him and walked over to the girl, patting her head. "Don't be scared. Nothing will happen to you."
The girl immediately jumped into his arms, crying loudly.
"I was so scared!"
