Sean stretched his ear and stuck out his tongue making funny faces.
His daughter lying in the cradle laughed heartily, filling his heart with mirth and joy.
Sean was having the best moment of his life. There was no need to stay tense any more. He could sleep as much as he wanted, and eat freely without the fear of being poisoned.
He didn't need to worry about his daughter and wife getting assassinated under someone's instigation. Though he had not let down his guard, Alex's rise had freed up his burden.
In a way, he was now a free man and with Alex's rising to the throne, he could retire and lead a good life.
And about Irvine and Shion, they needed to worry about Alex, not the other way around.
Irvine had already been staying shut after the Hex incident. Maybe she was planning something but Alex might have already thought of a way to counter it.
Sean, who was enjoying some peaceful time, heard a knock.
Sean handed his daughter to the nanny and walked outside only to see a Knight trembling with a pale expression.
"Joy, what happened to you? Are we in trouble?"
"No!"Joy shook his head.
"Hush!"Sean, who was about to take an air of relief, almost screamed when he heard Joy's last words.
"His Highness Alex had invaded the Demon continent."
...…
Pffffttt
Irvine spewed tea and jumped up from her seat with horror and disbelief.
Beside her, were Shion and her mother lying on the bed. Although she had been healed, the shock of being hit was too much for her to bear, which led her to lose consciousness again and again.
Shion and Irvine who were checking up on her received an urgent message shaking them to the core.
"Are you sure you got the right message?"
"Did you mistake the Demon invasion for the Alex invasion?"
"Her Highness, we checked up on it thoroughly. Sir Alex had marched onto the Demon Land."
"Hahahahah!"Shion burst into laughter.
"This guy is good at counting death. He will surely die there."Shion, who was laughing madly, stopped when he noticed two piercing gazes.
"How did I give birth to such a dimwit?"Shion's mother said.
"Brother, do you understand how dire the situation is? Alex had marched with 1 million troops. If he loses, the Northern Front would fall into Demon Grasp and Kinley would lose severely. Even if we rise to the Throne we can't handle the situation."
Biting her lips, she relayed some orders to the servant and made a call.
As soon as the call was picked up, she shouted"Brother Sean, what the hell is this?"
"How can you help Alex with this?"
"Irvine, listen to me carefully. I swear in God's name that I don't know anything about this. Alex had talked about the war but in a different way."
"He said he would attack Dark Elves and make a path to Elf's territory and after allying they would pressure Demons by attacking at the borders. There was no talk about invading Demons. I am not a maniac to lend my three hundred thousand troops recklessly to use like this.
"Damnnn!"Irvine cursed.
"Irvine, listen. Let's put our grievances aside. We need to call for emergencies and send for reinforcements. Alex had already won some cities. We need to back him up and ask him to withdraw."
"This is the last time I am agreeing to your suicidal plans."Irvine bit her lips and cut the call in anger.
...…..
While the whole Kinley was in uproar…
A dazzlingly crimson light descended and spread around. A moment later, a figure appeared in the sky causing the entire world to shudder.
Alex's eyes were filled with murderous intent and his killing intent materialised to the point that people could feel themselves drenched in blood and standing over the bed of corpses.
Dark Elves and Demons who had long life spans and lived for centuries started to crawl in fear.
Alex glanced around and shouted, "There is no need to waste time in a minor skirmish."
"Let's decide the fate of the war now."
"Overlords and Supremes from Demon come out now and face me."
"We will decide the winner today. I will take you alone."
Alex's words spread throughout the world sending tremors to everyone who heard the description.
Below him, the Kinley troops that were looking at him with reverence suddenly screamed and jumped out in panic.
"What the hell?"Aslan fell on the floor and wiped his sweat.
"He had gone mad."
"Damn Alex! I knew you were going to get me killed one day?"Hurt cursed and already started to prepare a portal to run away.
Catherine stumbled and felt the world around her spinning.
"I thought he had a grand plan but what is this?"
"Athena, do you know about this?"Catherine spoke and looked at Athena who was standing still with a blank expression.
She looked unfazed however as Christina walked towards her and poked her, they found her frozen like a statue.
Both of them stared at each other and looked towards Yvonne only to see her passing out due to shock.
"This...This is too much."Even Christina, who doesn't speak much, burst into tears.
They raised their heads and looked at Alex hoping that he knew what he was doing.
Alex waited for their response for a moment however not getting anything, his expression distorted.
"You are still adamant as ever."
"Are you taking my threats lightly or did you think I am not strong enough?"
"Since you fat sheep are not coming out I will slaughter all the pets you have."
Alex's image flashed and he appeared right above the Demon army.
He stretched out his hand and a spear of flame appeared in his hand.
"Dieee!"
BOOOOOOOM!
"Kyakkkkkkkkk!"
A beam of fire shot through the demon army creating a path of destructiveness while leaving behind a floor of hot magma.
The trail extended for several kilometres in length and a hundred metres wide, wiping out everything in its path. Any demon that was caught in the attack was instantly vaporised.
Every being gaped at the marvellous sight of pure destruction and demons getting wiped out.
The Dark Elves felt chills and already wanted to run out.
"You are still not coming out," Alex shouted and smashed his fist.
BOOOOOOOM!
Like a meteor, his fist slammed on the ground creating shockwaves and explosions sweeping everything. The demons cried miserably cursing the lunatic who did not even have a shed of honour.
If every top powerhouse went mad like this then no opposing army would survive.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
The demons who had struck deep fears into the hearts of everyone around the world started to run for their lives.
"Enough!"
The fist pouring out of demons dispersed and the figure of the green-haired demon appeared.
The pressure of an Overlord countered Alex's pressure and gave the demon a hint of relief.
"Boy, you are taking this too far."
"Beings like us don't fight or interfere."
BANG!
Aries, the green-haired demon tried to block the attack but he was blasted a few hundred metres back.
Alex's expression hardened and those dark eyes gave Aries a creep.
"You cheap son of bitch. You used tricks and helped those assholes to kidnap my wife."
"Where were you at that time, bastard? You are nothing but a cheap preacher of justice. Today if I don't kill your kind and flatten the Demon Lord then I will kill myself."
"Imprudent brat. Even though my great-grandson is older than you and you dare to talk with me like this."
"You talk too much."Alex cut him off and snapped his finger.
"Solaris De Flare."
A miniature sun appeared over Alex and he smashed it at Aries who charged at him with thunder flickering around his fist.
"Thunder Fist!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The two power clashed against each creating a powerful shock blast in the air
The sky was covered by a cloud of flames spreading around crazily which was followed by flickering dark bolts of lightning.
Everyone within ten thousand metres radius of both fighters was blown away helplessly due to the overwhelming power of both attacks.
While some expressions became pale with fear others had a tint of appreciation in their eyes as this was the first time they had seen a fight of this scale.
Alex roared and pushed his attack against Aries.
The power radiating from his fist was slowly dissipating. He gritted his teeth trying to exert more force but to his surprise, he got pushed back.
"How...did he have so much power at a young age?"
"Is he the reincarnation of a great god or is he God in itself otherwise it does not make sense or maybe he is an experimental product?"
Aries, whose eyes still showing signs of reluctance, spurted blood. After a minute of the bloody clash, a powerful explosion made the world tremble and Aries was blown away to tatters away due to the aftermath.
His left side was blown and burnt into pieces and he was shot back towards the ground with a terrifying force.
Before he could react he felt a tight hold on his neck. Alex clutched his hair and dragged him.
With just a step, he disappeared dragging Aries with him.
Using teleportation, he appeared directly over the magnificent structure of the Demon castle.
Holding near-death Aries like an object, he threw it towards the huge monolith and shouted"Take your trash."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The body of Aries was tossed towards the monolith with a great momentum burst even before it could reach it.
