Chapter 366 Mission Accomplished
"Foolish soldiers. All of you will die!"
When they heard that, their face became white. Leoz and Fabio finally made their move.
"Thunder Spirit Slash!"
"Fire Bomb!"
"Boom Boom!" The soldiers noticed that there were other people that attacked them. They finally believed that they were surrounded. Many soldiers started to give up and run away.
"No, no! I still want to live!"
"Save me!"
Even though their rationality was not functioning, their body still remembered the shouts from earlier where Leoz and Fabio told them about the back. Many of them run away toward the back to escape from this.
"Nelson, let's start," Alex said.
"Yes." Nelson immediately disappeared as he started cutting the soldiers one by one. At the same time, Alex asked Sherry and Kyle to bombard them together. Sadly, he could not move far away from this place to maintain the barrier that trapped Bima and Mega.
However, it was still enough as he only needed to kill the soldiers around him and let his spirits do the rest.
"Boom Boom Boom."
Alex kept bombarding them for an hour, and the screams and shrieks from the soldiers kept echoing through the night. However, Alex did not care all of that as he kept killing the soldiers.
He noticed around a thousand soldiers decided to fight him. But all of them were stopped by Nelson that did not leave his side far. Alex even shook his head helplessly when he saw Nelson. Nelson is a reliable guy, he thought.
There was another reason why the soldiers easily lost their motivation to fight. They were gathered after getting many oppositions from the ministers. However, because the royal family used their influence, they were forced to fight.
And when they heard Bima had run away, most of them immediately lost their motivation to fight and run for their life. They thought because of their number, Alex and the others would not be enough to kill all of them.
So, if they escaped far enough and hid, they would be safe. Sadly, it was just an empty dream for them as they would not be able to hide from Nelson.
After around another half hour, Anna caught up to his place together with Jeanne and Anya. Anna had been using her True Spirit Body from the start as their group alone would not be enough to create a big ruckus. It was Anya's suggestion, she said.
However, before they passed him and continued, Alex stopped them. "Jeanne, Anya, look at them."
Alex pointed his finger toward a half-burned tent. If one looked closely, they would see a translucent barrier trapping an old man and a young woman. They already fell into despair. They could see Alex looked like a demon god killing all of his soldiers easily. However, they could only think about escaping from this place.
"You two will finish both of them. Make sure they experience nightmares before dying. I will take over your job since I am a bit bored in this place." Alex said.
When they heard that, they looked at each other first before nodding to each other. Anna said, "Alright. We will handle them."
Alex nodded his head before he started moving together with Anna.
The moment he moved farther, he lost control of his barrier, and the barrier broke apart. When Mega and Bima saw that, they immediately tried to run. Unfortunately, Nelson had crippled their strength. Even if they tried to run, Jeanne and Anna could stop them easily.
"You… you, who are you!" Both of them got scared as they saw Jeanne and Anya coming to their way.
"The one who will make you experience a nightmare!" Jeanne said with a cold tone.
…
Meanwhile, Alex was still killing the soldiers with Anna. Some soldiers to fight back with their lives on the line, sadly, they did not have enough strength to challenge them and got killed immediately.
After another two hours, they could not find anyone to kill anymore. Even Leoz and Fabio already came back to regroup with Alex and Anna. Nelson was still flying around to make sure no one was alive. After that, Alex ordered Vera and Greg to regroup to their position by summoning them once again.
He then flew toward Jeanne and Anya. However, he just had a scare for his life as he saw the figure of Bima and Mega. It was beyond his imagination. He only closed his eyes for a bit before opening them again.
Bima and Mega were already beyond recovery. Although Anya was still healing them, they could not utter or do anything as their brains were already dead. And their bodies… if their bodies are in a movie, they might not be censored anymore. Instead, the movie would be banned instantly.
Alex certainly could see that Bima and Mega had gotten what they deserved. Of course, it was only his point of view.
After a while, Nelson came back. "Young Master. I have checked all of them, and they are truly dead."
"Thank you for your hard work. Well, we are going to the Southern Kingdom now, right?"
"Yes."
"Ngina is in their kingdom, so if you have any questions, just ask him," Alex said.
"Understood."
Alex then turned to Anna and the others. "All of you will clean up the battlefield. You can go anywhere after you finish cleaning up the battlefield. Anna would probably go back to the sect, right?"
"Yes. I will make sure the house is comfy so you can return anytime." Anna said with confidence.
Alex smiled.
"I will take the others somewhere and level up. I feel we need to reach Martial King before the Grand Tournament. Well, the one who might reach Martial King before then would be Leoz, Anna, and Fabio. Unless you use EXP cards for the others, including me, we will not be able to reach Martial King." Anya explained.
Alex nodded. He knew why Anya did not have any confidence in that. The reason was simple, they just could not find powerful monsters since they had become Martial Lords. It was not as easy when they were in Martial Master or Martial Grandmasters since there were Martial Grandmaster stage monsters around.
"For that, I need tickets," Alex said to Anya.
"Of course, we will kill tons of monsters to get Gacha Tickets. I will make the plan for that." Anya smiled.
"Thank you."
"Hehe… how about a kiss as a reward?" Anya teased him again.
Alex shook his head, rejecting his idea. However, he said, "Put it on my tab."
Anya was dumbfounded when she heard that. She thought her ears were playing with her. She looked at Anna, who suddenly smiled when she heard that. Anya knew she heard it right.
Their relationship just progressed by a little bit. She was thrilled with that.
Alex shook his head helplessly. He certainly did not make their relationship progress just because of the reward. It just… he felt that Anya's existence slowly came to his heart; her teasing, her characters, and her personality. Just by looking at her could put his heart at ease sometimes.
Alex then looked at Nelson. "Let's go."
Nelson nodded. Alex then made a teleportation array toward the Southern Kingdom. Sadly, he could only make rank 4 teleportation array that could only teleport them around ten kilometers each time. However, it was far faster than flying normally.
They arrived in front of the capital city in no time. However, Alex felt his Spiritual Energy almost empty.
"Hah… hah…!" Alex was panting after continuously making Teleportation Array. However, because of that, they managed to arrive one hour before the sunrise.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Nelson asked, a bit worried.
Alex smiled and assured him. "Rest assured, I am fine. I just need to recover for a while. Well, my job is done here. So, after recovering my Spiritual Energy, I will immediately come back to the sect."
"Yes. After I am done, I will immediately go back to the Zhou Kingdom."
"I am counting on you." Alex nodded.
Nelson then disappeared.
The Southern Kingdom had yet to realize they would experience the biggest hurdle in their lives. Because when they just started to run a routine meeting for their kingdom, they realized that all of the royal family members were killed, including the ruler of the kingdom, the current king.
The ministers were dumbfounded and immediately made an investigation. And a few days later, they found a battlefield that was filled with blood and dead bodies. They recognized all of them as they were their soldiers.
After realizing the royal family had been massacred, the ministers were in a panic and holed up in their house, afraid the people who murdered all of these soldiers and the royal family would come to them.
They waited for a month. However, they did not find someone targeting their lives. They immediately felt relieved when they realized that. After that, the storm finally started brewing in the capital city as each of the prominent families in the capital city started moving against each other to claim the throne.
They were killing each other and made the greatest event in their kingdom's history. Although some of them also kept investigating the murderer of the royal family, they did not find anything.
And with that, the civil strife became even more chaotic as influences started stretching their hands in this kingdom. After all, the Southern Kingdom was known for its wealth. Sadly, they would get all the wealth from the Previous Royal family as it had been stolen by Nelson, doubling Alex's wealth to 200 million Spirit Stones.
Well, it was a story for later.
…
On the other hand, Alex immediately went back after he recovered his Spiritual Energy. Nelson was not worried about his protection since Sherry and Kyle also came with him.
Meanwhile, Anna also came back to Heavenly Sword Sect. She then went to Charya's house, according to Alex's order.
"Alex, huh. Come in!" Charya was waiting in the usual room as she was preparing for the war. She knew the Mount Hua Sect would reach their ground tomorrow. They were not planning to march toward them as it would be a foolish move.
Even though Alex said Rainbow Flower Sect came to their aid, they still could not believe it was Rainbow Flower Sect's intention. So, they decided to fight in front of their sect door. In this case, they would be able to retreat to their sect and erected Maxwell's barrier if something went wrong.
Charya was a bit surprised to feel a Martial Lord presence in front of her door. However, the only Martial Lord around was him. So, she thought Alex wanted to request a backup.
But, when the door was opened, she could see a woman figure with long black hair tied into a ponytail. She recognized this woman as she had seen her once. Even so, she had yet to know her relationship with Alex. She knew they were close, as for how close they were, she did not know.
"You are his…"
"I am his wife, we could not hold a marriage though because of a certain matter," Anna said with a smile.
Charya furrowed her eyebrows as she asked, "Does… he need help?"
"No, he asked me to inform you about the Southern Kingdom. You don't need to worry about the Southern Kingdom as we have repelled them. However, we could not help you in the fight against Mount Hua Sect."
"Haha… is it about that girl?" Charya speculated the reason why they could not fight. And only one thing that came to her mind. It was Letizia.
Sadly, she was off the mark. Anna shook her head. "No. We can't reveal ourselves to others because they think we are still fighting with the Southern Kingdom. So, we want people to think like that for a little longer. After all, they might think it is suspicious if we finish our fight in a day. And I hope you don't investigate it too.
"You can talk about this with... those two old men, that sect master and the other old man whose memory did not get sealed. However, please don't spread this to anyone other than them."
Charya looked at her for a while. It seemed even though Alex had a certain respect to them, this woman did not respect them that much. Well, considering Alex's background, which was still a bit mysterious to them as they only knew about his master, not his family or whatsoever.
She thought Anna must come from his family or something and their family was strong as they could look down on Heavenly Sword Sect. She only shrugged her shoulders and said, "Fine."
