"Bitch, you dare to stand in my way. Do you think that you are still a Saintess? Just wait, I will kill you along with all the children here hiring an assassin." Elmer muttered with an annoyed tone.
Although he muttered slowly, it didn't go unnoticed by Alex's ears.
Alex stared at the man with hollow and lifeless eyes.
He was feeling quite suffocated after hearing about Athena's condition and needed to take out his anger on someone.
And now the suitable target was coming before him on his own.
Elmer walked towards Alex and stared at him as if Alex was just a disgusting insect.
"Scum, get out of my way," Elmer shouted.
But as if the man was deaf, he didn't even move an inch nor did he give him any response.
"You....."
"My Lord, let me deal with him. I will break his limbs and throw him in the trash can." A guard beside him muttered.
"No, need. I will deal with him. I found a suitable target to take out my frustration." He muttered and unsheathed his sword with a large grin.
Killing in public is a crime. But that applies only to commoners. A noble like him can do as he pleases.
Meanwhile, the children who were being soothed by Athena heard the commotion.
A small girl who is six years old pulled out Athena's dress and muttered"Sister Athena, that bad man pulled out his sword to kill someone."
"What!" Athena shouted in panic and started to run forward.
As he went toward the place where the whole crowd was just staring at the scene.
Her heart started to beat faster and she felt a familiar aura.
An aura that she could feel and identify from miles apart.
"No, this cannot be." Athena strode forward but due to carelessness, she tripped over.
Even though she can still move around, she still found it difficult to run.
Athena was shocked after sensing the aura, the fear of the person being harmed by Elmer quickly disappeared.
"Sis Athena!" The children screamed while trying to help her, meanwhile, the people's breathing halted for a moment witnessing the scene.
Elmer pulled out his sword and slashed at Alex giving a curved slash.
Swish!
With a soft tearing sound, a cut appeared over Alex's white shirt extending from the right shoulder to the left waist following which blood splattered.
"Hahaha!"
"Why are you frozen now? Didn't you show your bravery a few moments ago?"
"Why don't you show it now," Elmer spoke and stabbed at him
At that moment, Alex lifted his head and his dark met with Elmer giving him a shiver down his spine but he shook his head and thrust his sword.
Before the tip of the blade could reach Alex's chest, Alex's arms moved like lightning.
Coating his fists in mana, he punched at the sword.
CLINNNG!
As the tip of the blade clashed with Alex's knuckles, the tip of the blade started to recede back and soon cracks started to appear on it.
CRACK!
The blade of the sword cracked and the fist broke the sword surprised everyone and Alex's fist slammed at his face.
BOOM!
Elmer's whole body was slammed down on the ground and a small crater was formed on it and his body was banged on the ground knocking him out.
"Hmph!" Alex snorted and stared at the guards.
"My Lord!"
"Lord!"
The guards yelled and almost drew thier swords but just a simple gaze from Alex terrorized them to the point that they couldn't even move thier bodies.
Their senses warned them that if they dared to take a step forward, they would die.
"Do you want to take him away or want to end up like that?" Alex asked.
"We will take him away."
"Good choice!" Alex nodded and dusted his hands.
"If you think of yourselves as some kind of bigshot, you should fight your equal instead of scaring children," Alex spoke with disdain.
"Now roll," Alex roared.
The guards moved fast and carried their Master who passed out with a large imprint on his face and disappeared from their eyesight.
Alex stared at their backs and turned his head when he heard a pleasant sweet voice which seemed to solace his soul similar to the voice of the Goddess itself.
"Alex is that you?"
"Athena!" Alex's words choked in his throat as he stared at the breathtaking beauty in front of him.
Athens's beauty and body were comparable to Riya but what added more points to her was that she is ripened fruit, unlike Riya who still had time to mature as she is a bit younger than Athena.
At that moment Alex remembered the words of one of his mischievous friends.
Young men were more attracted to older women while the old man lusted after young swine.
But more than that, the blindfold on Athena's eyes pained him.
As Alex gazed at Athena, she also stared at Alex probing him.
Athena knew that Alex had undergone some changes but seeing Alex's aura astonished him.
Unlike the pure gentle aura, Alex had previously, Alex's aura carried a strong presence of blood.
It was quite strong and dominating in contrast to before when he played with her.
But still, Athena didn't find that suffocating aura that people have when they kill and slaughter countless people which was quite odd.
When one kills or starts to do like deeds, their soul also starts to transform a bit which corrupts their existence.
For example, a person always finds it hard to kill at first but once he gets used to it, one couldn't find an ounce of change of emotions when he kills again. In a way, it was the soul that started to change along with the person.
'He must have killed a hundred thousand if not millions. But when did he do it and even after that there was no change in that warmness and gentleness that his soul had? It's as if he had two sides intertwined within him.'Athena inferred and shook her head to clear away the distracting thoughts.
Alex walked toward Athena and muttered, "I know that you can feel my aura even if you can't see me."
"Big Sis Athena, I came back to take you," Alex spoke with moistened eyes.
