Episode 17 "Killer"

It was thrown at Gerard like an arrow thrown from a bow, Alexander. He left behind a huge cloud of dust as he tore through the air. Gerard, who could barely react to Alexander's speed, had managed to stop the claws before they reached him. A double eye came into sight, along with the sounds of steel and sparks caused by the friction of Gerard's sword and Alexander's claws against each other. There was a look on Gerard's face that showed he was having a hard time. His teeth clamped, frowned. Alexander, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. Gerard, feeling the darkness and callousness in his eyes, shuddered. He felt like he was surrounded by darkness.

Alexander took off as Gerard swung his sword with all his might. He took a few somersaults in the air and landed on the ground like a feather.

-"Not like it used to be, huh?"

Gerard, who couldn't understand what Alexander was saying, was pretty angry.

"What nonsense have you been talking to yourself all morning! Enough talking! Let's get this over with quickly! I started to get little hungry!"

Alexander laughed briefly. He raised his hand slowly and began to look at his paws.

-"You're right." said.

-"Let's get this done."After his words, he was once again thrown with all his might towards Gerard, Alexander. But this time there was something different. This time he was using magic.

"Body Strengthening Magic"

Gerard had noticed that Alexander was using magic, but given Alexander's speed, it was too late. All he could do was block the attack like he just did. Although he once again managed to prevent the fatal blow of Gerard Alexander's claws, this time he was thrown back by the force of the attack. Alexander, wasting no time, opened a large wall behind Gerard.

- "Earth Magic-Rock Wall-"

Hitting the wall pretty quickly, Gerard was trying to stand. He was dizzy from the collision, his eyes darkened and he was coughing. And Alexander was watching Gerard, who was barely standing.

"He used a body strengthening spell, Gerard. Thanks to this, he could recover a little.

"We're not giving up until the end, are we?"Alexander said. Gerard's effort was just funny to him.

Gasping for breath, Gerard was staring at the floor. Her hair covered her face. Slowly raising his head, Gerard pointed his sword at Alexander. He had blood stains on the sides of his mouth. And in his eyes, a big fire.

-"Never."Gerard said. He had a big smile on his face.

On top of that, Alexander smiled. But Gerard couldn't see it because of the mask.

"I get it."Alexander said. He was looking at the sky. And then he quickly turned his face to Gerard. The smile on his face had already been erased. The look in his eyes would make even monsters tremble.

"Then I'll finish this for you quickly."

Gerard, who had been breathless with Alexander's intent to kill, began to tremble.

He was once again thrown towards Gerard.

"He's coming!"Gerard thought. He had a few weeks to come up with a plan.

He was thrown to his right side using a" body strengthening spell, " Gerard.

Unable to stop himself, Alexander hit the wall, but the wall, shattered by the impact of his attack, did not even give him a scratch. Immediately after, he was thrown back at Gerar, Alexander. And Gerard managed to escape once again. Alexander, who hit a tree this time, continued to attack Gerard without wasting time. The tree he hit was knocked down by a big noise. Gerard, who blocked Alexander's attack this time, smiled at Alexander.

"Now I've got you."

Stuck where he was standing, Alexander began to sink into the ground. Swinging his sword to the right with all his might, Gerard sprinted away from there, bouncing back after breaking one of Alexander's claws. He didn't want to be swallowed up by the Earth.

"It's called' Slippery Earth Magic.' How did you find it! I learned it from one of the servants at my house."Gerard said. He was very proud of himself.

"To get rid of the garbage without a trace."and then he said. He had an evil smile on his face.

Alexander, who still maintains his calm attitude;

"I get it. I gotta hand it to you, it's a pretty good spell. I have to admit, it's quite extraordinary that someone like you, focused on the sword, can cast such a spell."

Gerard began to brag with his hands in front of him.

-"It isn't! I'm really amazing! After all, I'm the future leader of the" Vale " Family, but forget about him, aren't you too calm for someone who's going to die?"

Alexander looked around. And then showing himself with his index finger;

"Who will die soon? You call me?"

Gerard was already getting angry again.

"Of course I'm talking to you! Do you see anyone else stuck in the swamp here?"

Alexander joined both hands on his chest. And then he started thinking, like he was solving a very difficult math problem.

"Hmmmm... I don't understand much of what he said. Actually, no one's stuck in the swamp here."

Gerard was confused.

-"What do you mean? That's why I have you!"

"Hmmmm... No, I don't think so."Alexander said. He still had the look on his face as if he was solving a math problem.

Gerard, who's starting to get angry now;

"Stop talking nonsense! What are you trying to say? You're covered in dirt up to your waist! You'll be dead in a few minutes!"

By pointing the back of Alexander Gerard;

"But look, I'm actually there." said. Gerard, whose body shudders after the beginning;

"N-N-What nonsense! How back-"

Gerard's words were interrupted by a dagger lodged in his waist. Gerard, who began to tremble, fell to his knees. After vomiting a mouthful of blood, he slowly toppled to the ground. Alexander was behind him.

"A-A-but how? S-S-You Were a-you were just there."

-"You might want to look at yourself in one."Alexander said in an icy voice.

Gerard, who slowly turned his head, was in great shock when he could not see anyone in the "slippery soil." All he saw were shadows that were now disappearing, resembling smoke.

"G-G-Shadow Magic?" K-who are you?"

Alexander slowly removed his mask.

-"Hi."and then he said. There was not a single sign of emotion on his face.

Gerard, who was in great shock after seeing alexadner's face, clenched his fists until his fingernails pierced his flesh.

"S-S-You! But! But how can it be! A piece of garbage like you!"

Alexaander pulled a dagger out of his waist after Gerard's words. And as he pulled it out, he stuck it in Gerard's leg. Screaming in pain, Gerard grabbed his leg and began to squirm.

"My leg! My leg!! Aghhhh!"

"I think you'd better watch what you say."Alexander said.

"It's up to you whether it's painful or painless."

He looked at Gerard, writhing on the floor with empty eyes. What a pathetic sight, he thought. Gerard, whose eyes were crying with the pain of his leg, sweating and spitting out of his mouth, slowly turned to Alexander. Talking through your teeth;

"How can a piece of shit like S-S-your g-n-B-so strong o -?"

Alexander, who pulled another dagger from his waist and stuck it in Gerard's other leg, was stunned by Gerard's stupidity. Gerard, who once again screamed in pain, was about to pass out. He was cold. His hands and feet were numb. Gerard knew what was going on. He was dying. Die? No! No way! He didn't want to die! He was so young! There was so much he wanted to do, so much he wanted to see.

"I don't think you heard what I just said. Otherwise, I don't think anyone could be so stupid. But because of the blood loss, your ability to understand may have declined, so let me be clear once again."

Alexander Said. And then he leaned over to Gerard and whispered in his ear.

-"Shut your damn mouth."And then he grabbed Gerard by the head and hit him hard on the ground.

-"Ah! But back to the problem just now..."Alexander grazed his right wrist, which his jacket closed, and showed it to Gerard. He had a "4" sign on his wrist, and a "Clubs" Kingdom symbol under it. Just like in the morning. He took his left hand to his right and covered the top of the figure, then slowly pulled his hand out. Gerard froze over the sight he saw. Alexander, who had just carried the number" 4", now had the number" 9 " on his wrist. At first, ilk thought he was hallucinating from blood loss, but he also saw Alexander's power with his own eyes.

- "S-you do it n-how...?"he was too tired to finish his sentence, Gerard. He was slowly breathing.

"I don't think that's what you should be surprised about. Mr. Gerard"Alexander said.

He then took his left hand to his wrist again, but this time he closed the mark of his kingdom. When he withdrew his hand, the sign of the "Clubs" Kingdom was replaced by the sign of the "Diamonds" Kingdom. Gerard, whose blood froze because of what he saw, stuttered;

"W-w-who are you, t-this? İf you're a c-citizen of the "Diamonds" K-Kingdom, Why are you doing t-this?"

Alexander, couldn't help but smile;

"So who am I, huh? So you're finally interested, Mr. Gerard. Unfortunately, it is true that I am a citizen of the kingdom of" Karo". That disgusting, rotten country. Even when I hear your name, I can't stop feeling sick. As for who I am, I've had a lot of nicknames and names since I was a kid. "Garbage", "useless", "disappointment", "excess" and many more. But you may remember me by another name, that old useless name."

"Viol Vale." said.

Gerard slowly turned to Alexander. His eyes were open like a fortune teller. As if he wants to confirm what he has heard;

"Vi-Viol Vale?"

"Yes, little brother. Viol. Valet."There was not a single trace of emotion on Alexander's face.

"That'll be the last name you'll hear. My little brother."

Gerard, who feels incredible remorse, anger and rejection;

- "You Little fu-"

Before completing the sentence, his head was separated from his body and airborne. And then he fell to the ground and bounced a few times. It was a clean, fast intersection. Gerard didn't even know what was going on. From where he leaned, Alexander looked skyward. And then he slowly closed his eyes. He just stood there for a few minutes, like he wanted the rain to clean him up. And then he stared at the" forest of Eternity." Roger was watching him at the top of a tree. He fixed his glasses and started going back to the Academy at full speed, Mr. Roger. Alexander joined him a few minutes later.

-"You're next. Lady Catarina." said. Soar in the air.
