DEVIANT

235 Kyle must die!

Listening to his words, Alex frowned but he didn’t say anything. Who would have thought he would come across someone as confident and as defiant as him. He gazed at Kyle with an expressionless face as he pondered on what to do to the young lad.

Even if he once harbored any thoughts of letting them go, Kyle just shattered it all with his words. Not only did this kid look down on his words, but he also analyzed his idea and killed it before he even got the chance to try it.

Honestly, the thought of losing to him was the most irritating thing Alex had experienced in a while. If he lost to a Duke he probably won’t be too pissed but losing to just an Earl. This is something he cannot.

“Blasphemy” Alex said coldly but the shaman race kid didn’t seem to care.

He raised his hand and pointed toward Alex with a certain look on his face.

“Die...” Kyle muttered.

Bang!

The silver wolf appeared behind Alex with its claws raised. Seeing this an Invisible force exploded from Alex’s body, knocking it back even without him moving!

“Come!” Alex said coldly as he gripped the space and pulled!

.....

Xiu!

Kyle frowned as he felt an invisible force grip him and pull him towards Alex. His face remained cold and distant as he slid toward Alex.

Woosh!

The silver wolf appeared again from behind with his claws hacking down violently.

Peng!

Its claw hit the empty space above Alex and was blown back, the visible barrier surrounding the youth was just too strong!

“Die...” Alex said coldly as Kyle was already within arms reach and he threw his fingers forward like a spear, hoping to rip his throats out!

Bang!

Puti!

Blood squirted out unexpectedly but it wasn’t red blood, it was golden blood. Alex stood there with eyes filled with surprise while his hand phased through Kyle. Meanwhile, Kyle through his hand forward, strangely piercing his skin and even going as far as to shatter a few ribs before grabbing the heart.

Yes, Alex’s heart was beating in the hands of this child leaving the world silent and stunned. Who would have thought things would end up this way?

Blegh!

Alex spat out a mouthful of blood but the look on his face remained calm and elusive. No one could tell what he was thinking at this moment.

“Checkmate.” Kyle said coldly.

Swish!

A Claw mark appeared on his back as the wolf slashed forward and tore through his defense and his skin. Everything happening now was hard to process since it was never expected.

“I hate to say this but you are in a bad position. I think this is where you fall on your knees and beg for your life. Swear allegiance to the shaman race and the alliance and I may spare your life” Kyle said calmly.

Everyone watching was on their toes now. They came here expecting to see an interesting performance from Alex only to see this. Why wouldn’t they worry for him?

Alex getting defeated means they are getting defeated. If Alex submits to them that means the Estos race must submit as well. Their destiny was intertwined with Alex’s fate and this made them incredibly anxious.

“Do you think you have won?” Alex asked with eyes as cold and lonely as the moon. It looked like the eyes of a man who decided to do something really important.

“What can you do?” Kyle asked with a slight smile on his face as he tightened his grip on Alex’s beating heart but at that moment something unexpected happened.

Alex’s eyes lit up and turned golden the same with his blood littered everywhere. His blood was soon engulfed in golden flames, hitting up to an insane level!

Arrrgggghhh!

Kyle let out a painful cry as his hand lit up in flames and burnt brightly. He staggered back and screamed continuously but no matter how much he hit the hand he couldn’t put the fire out! With no other choice, he shaped his palm like a blade and slashed violently, cutting off the burning arm and dropping to his knees.

He gritted his teeth as he noticed energy surging from all parts of the city and into Alex. His wounds were getting healed miraculously.

“When I was younger, I fought. I don’t know what and who I was fighting for. All I know was I fought. I always found myself in a battle no matter where I went. This made me realize I am fighting for the wrong thing. I wasn’t fighting for what I believed in but I didn’t have a choice since I lacked the power to make a decision of my own. So I got stronger. With the more strength acquired, the more chains binding me shattered.” Alex said with an unfocused gaze.

“one after the other the chains used to hold me down kept shattering and when it was truly finished and I was finally free I was killed by the people I wanted to protect. I got a second chance and here I am. I don’t know what you guys think or want but I, Alex Briggs will not trade his freedom for the universe. Rather than being forced to work with the Alliance, I will make the Alliance work for me. I will win back my own with my strength! Using my method! This is not something a little brat like you can stop!” Alex said fiercely with pure rage and fire burning in his eyes.

Kyle frowned at this but even then he didn’t feel intimidated. Apart from the small frown on his face, there was no sign of fear on his face. Alex watched the kid slowly stand to His feet with one arm. Strangely he didn’t bleed.

“Total freedom is an illusion and a lie. Everyone has a destined role to play in life. You either play the role or you don’t. Some people just have bigger roles while others are smaller. You have to live with the reality that equality and freedom are the two biggest lies anyone can be told” the kid said with a frown.

“Let’s say you succeed and lead the alliance to victory or defeat, you are still playing the role given to you by the great spirit. Something cannot be avoided. There are some things you can’t fight against” Kyle said with a crazed smile on his face which made Alex retreat by a step in shock.

He could see it now, the same thing he saw a decade ago when the mutant beasts went crazy and began attacking relentlessly on earth. Africa suffered major damages but that was just when Nigeria was about to crumble the culture appeared. They fought back the beasts alone and made the eastern part of the country safe.

That was when the fanatics and religious people appeared. Misleading the public, claiming all there is happening because of some sin they believed the world had committed. The originally manageable states fell into chaos and things began going south. To restore order, the culture dedicated a single day to the killings of religious people in large numbers.

They kept killing until the other fanatics were too scared to speak. Only through force and mass murder did they regain control of the states and the people.

Gazing at Kyle now, Alex got that same feeling. A fanatical person who believes in whatever spirit nonsense he has in his mind and would like to impose his beliefs on others.

Without a doubt, he was convinced of one thing. This kid needs to die!

Bang!

Alex was already in front of the enemy with his hand swinging down like a blade, revealing golden after images as it moved. He no longer waited for the enemy to attack, he finally launched his first attack since the fight started!

Boom!

His eyes narrowed as watched the silver werewolf who was split in two turns into silver strings of energy and fly towards the kid! It seems that the silver werewolf moved faster than him and pushed the kid out of the way just at the last moment before his attack hit.

“Hell no!” Alex called out with a frown and stretched his hand towards the silver energy and his palms swung wide open!

Bam!

A powerful suction force erupted from his hands, pulling the silver energy toward him. He pushed his power to its max but even then he couldn’t stop the spirit energy from flowing into the kid. It showed an incredible level of resistance towards his suction power which left Alex dumbfounded.

This has never happened before!

Alex wanted to know how something like this is possible but he couldn’t because the battle was far from over. Right before his eyes, the kid regrew his lost arm as he slowly fused with the silver energy and became a werewolf but not just the normal kind which Alex killed but one far bigger and more intimidating than the previous one!
