Christina was startled by the armoured man's words and felt that she was dreaming and heard something wrong.
Since she was guarding the Fortress, she was unaware of the happenings in other parts of the Kingdom.
Moreover, she couldn't believe that this tall man whose body was exuding mighty pressure was the husband that he was forced to marry.
From the beginning, Christina didn't have any opinion of Alex, she always used to think of him as a pitiful kid who had been abandoned by the world.
She had never hated Alex but rather felt quite sympathetic towards him. Being idiotic, he had an indifferent outlook toward the world even though the whole world mock him.
Even if we consider the possibility that he wasn't born an idiot, who can guarantee that he could survive in the cruel gameplay of the throne where each one of the siblings was trying to kill each other for the throne being an idiot can be somewhat considered as a blessing which had extended his life.
And now, the person who used to be an idiot and whose body was like a ball was standing before him which looked as if his entire existence had been modified, so how could it be easy for her to believe.
Moreover, if such a change had occurred in reality, Catherine would have already been informed about it after all she was keeping a strict eye on affairs with Nevan.
But little did she know that there was a mole under Catherine's shade who was not only preventing the information from reaching her but also changing the reports to his own will.
Since Catherine was busy with the preparations for the war, she didn't even have the time to verify the things which had led to the current circumstances of not knowing the recent development that had taken place in Nevan.
.......
Christina who was in deep thought snapped out of it, on hearing Alex's words and raised her sword to fight the master rank but she was stopped by Alex.
"Leave these bastards to this idiotic husband of yours."
Christina wanted to object but she stopped after hearing Alex's words.
"I know better than anyone that you can defeat them. But we are fighting a war not a battle of pride."
"I have already destroyed the flare and cleared the ground forces of Amidon while the remaining ones that are fighting here are just suicide squad who would die trying to drag us down."
"You need to take care of them and take over the Fortress. The troops had been quite disarrayed recently so try to organise everything into order."
"So, you do that meanwhile I will have some fun with these morons," Alex spoke and lifted the huge great sword over his shoulder and beckoned the Master's rank.
The Master wasn't able to identify the man properly and thought that he might be a foolish lover of Christine who wanted to show off in this situation to strike the strings of Christina's heart.
"Trying to show off in front of us. You are courting death." The Master rank who had a hand missing roared angrily.
He was not wasting time when the newly arrived armoured man and Christina were exchanging words with each other.
He was ready to unleash a fatal strike which could kill a peak Master rank with one hit.
The sword in his hand which was covered with a thick layer of energy suddenly shot out like a bullet.
His attack was more aggressive and faster than he was fighting Christina. He was thinner and smaller than Alex, as well as his weapon was lighter and sneaker than Alex's huge greatsword, he was planning on using his fast movement and attack speed to tire Alex out and use a deadly strike to kill him.
Alex smirked while looking at the incoming attack.
Alex's physical strength was now on par with early Epic rank which means he could overpower any master rank with his strength alone.
And the enemy charging at him was at best can be called mediocre. Alex was even overestimating the enemy by calling him mediocre.
Alex lifted the huge great sword from his shoulder and raised it in the air and rotated his body in a full circle to generate momentum.
Rotating his body at 360°, he stopped abruptly and harnessed the momentum of his body and lashed the huge great sword at the incoming blade.
CLAAAAAANNG!
A loud clanking sound of metal collision was heard and the enemy body flew back in the air.
The enemy felt a sudden invasion of the opponent's force that struck him hard.
Only one strike from Alex had damaged the internal organs of the enemy and he was blasted off by Alex's sword strike while puking blood.
His rapier being hit hard by the great sword with superior strength shattered into pieces.
Some of those pieces with sharp edges burst out from the rapier and plunged into his body because of the power of the collision giving him deep cuts all over his body.
The enemy was utterly terrified as even before the contact of his rapier with the man's swords, he knew right away that this man was much scarier than he thought and he had no chance of winning the fight against him.
"Leave!" He shouted to signal the other master rank who had a dumbfounded expression while he tried to get back on his trembling legs.
He warned the other master rank to retreat immediately because he already knew that they would die worthlessly if they lingered around here.
Running back, he tried to jump off the castle walls and threw a hook down trying to swing his body away from the battle.
However, he heard Alex's words from behind which sounded like the death sentence of the grim reaper.
"Since you have already come here, then you don't need to leave. Just rest in peace here!"
Alex didn't want to give this man who was already on the verge of death a chance to escape and look around, he kicked a broken blade on the ground.
SHIIIIIIIIIIIING!
The sword traced the path of the enemy as fast as lightning and like a missile whose target had already been set before, it flew while tearing the air and pierced the man's back in the mid-air and killed him instantly.
The sword nailed his dead body to the ground under the defence wall leaving the other Master rank in bewilderment.
He wanted to flee as soon as possible but seeing the other Master rank die easily, he was shocked to his core cause he knew that if he turned back, this man would sneak from behind and if tried to fight head-on then also he was going to die.
Seeing no way out, he roared in anger.
"Fuck you!" He roared fiercely and started to use a secret technique to burn his life essence.
"Even if I die, I will take a son of bitch like you with me."
"Nova Explosion!"
A stream of red hot energy appeared in his body which was as hot as erupting lava radiating deadly heat all around and his figure shot towards Alex.
Alex frowned seeing the enemy using such a manoeuvre and his huge greatsword turned into a cloud of black shadow in his hand and moved as fast as lightning and slashed the man's Nova Explosion strike with a massive amount of force which was enough to cut anything before him apart.
