Chapter 31: Retaliation
after everything was over the crowd started to disperse rose and the other maids also left alex lying down to mind their next business while his mom was taken away by two guards along with young master George it's seems like after watching Eleanor's lewd show George couldn't wait to bang Eleanor before leaving he gave the head guard a nod reminding him to finish the mission the head guard responded with an evil grin thinking about Isabella's order
"that alex brat is behaving suspiciously i'm not sure what that pathetic waste can even do but he makes me feel uneasy... but since I need him to control Eleanor I can't kill him so you make sure to completely break his mind and use a slave contract to ensure he doesn't become a threat"
these were the words from Isabella but the head guard just laughed and shook his head looking at the pathetic state alex was in
'madam Isabella is overreacting what can this waste even do?if not for his mother he would have already been dead'
thinking so he went to alex on the stage everyone has left while alex was in an unconscious state from having his mind broke..... or atleast that's what the head guard thought
he grabbed alex's leg and started dragging him to a dark alley
'hmm seems like he took the bait'
Alex on the other had pretended to be unconscious while making preparations he only have one change to achieve his goals once he enters the dark alley before anyone noticing he needs to subdue this head guard to proceed to his next plan
alex quickly checked the status window of both of them
[ Name: Miguel
Age: 47
occupation: head guard
Cultivation : Martial Master (mid stage) Fighting
Technique: Iron body smasher(B grade) , spear force(low grade) ]
[ Name: Alex Campbell
Age: 18
Cultivation: Martial Master (initial stage)
Fighting
Technique: None ]
alex clicked his tongue seeing the difference not only is the head guard have a one minor realm higher cultivation he also has a decent fighting techniques
'my only chance is to land a sneak attack'
'system purchase all the things I selected '
[ Successfully purchased total cost- 1000cc ]
he looked at the things he had purchased
1. strength increase pill (temporary)
2. poision knife
3. speed boost scroll (temporary)
4. mana pistol (6 shots per recharge)
5.mind control parasite (x1)
he didn't mind spending a good portion of his cuck coins he already had a lot in reserve and after his public humiliation it has reached more than 10k
alex wanted to learn but some martial skills but not only is it expensive he didn't have any time to master it he can only use pills and weapons to bridge the gap between him and the head guard according to his calculations this should be enough to overpower him
when both entered the alley the head guard got distracted searching the surrounding to make sure no one is watching he took out a noise cancelling scroll and tore it
'now all i have to do is make alex sign the slave contract in his current broken state I can only use his finger print.... we it works too hehe'
"now little cuck it's tim..ahhhhhhhhhh! "
seeing his distracted state alex pierced his poison knife in his defenceless back
[ poison spreading rate 15% ]
"YOU little Bastard!! "
the guard captain roared being stabbed by a waste like alex was so humiliating
he felt his body becoming hard to move and his consciousness was getting affected whith his experience he understood he must have been poisoned
[ poison spreading rate 30% ]
in a fit of anger he forgot to think how alex managed to sneak attack him a master realm cultivator
"I will make you Regret This Bastard!! " he directed his anger towards alex
the guard captain decided to break alex's feet and hands before torturing him as long as alex is not dead madam Isabella won't blame him
he rushed to catch alex after all even if he was poisoned to him alex was still a waste with no cultivation..... but alex suddenly released his master realm cultivation startling the guard captain but it was too late alex dodged his grab and did a uppercut with as much as strength as he could muster
alex wasn't good at fighting nor did he have any powerful techniques but because the captain was caught off guard and was poisoned, his lower jaw was slammed with alex's mana coated fist
[ poison spreading rate 52%]
but that wasn't the end alex not loosing the momentum he got from the surprise attack he quickly distanced himself and shot him multiple times with the mana gun according to tthe system description it should be capable of seriously hurting a master realm cultivator
'as long as it hits him he should be injured' alex was thinking of his next step.... but unfortunately for him the guard captain's belt activated, a golden light emitted from his belt creating a mana shield around him blocking alex's mana bullets
'shit! he had a protective artifact!? ' alex gritted his teeth but his surprise didn't end as the guard captain quickly regained his lost composure he immediately circulated a unique mana circulation technique
[poison spreading rate has stopped]
[poison is being expelled from the opponents body]
"What!? " alex was stunned
"what are you surprised about? I'm a veteran mercenary before becoming a guard captain of course i'll have a technique to resist poison you dare use poison without even knowing that? "
he said in a clearly amused tone all his frustration and anger from before was nowhere to be seen
alex gritted his teeth he didn't know these information making him miscalculate
"but i have to admit like madam Isabella warned you are indeed a big treat .... seriously a martial master? how did you manage to do it right below our nose"
he was really surprised in terms of cultivation alex is just one minor realm below him and he's just F*cking 18 years old this kind of talent is similar to the first young master who's now in the capital
he decided to kill alex now even if he might be punished by madam Isabella no.... if she learn about alex's monstrous talent she would all decide to kill him alex is too much of a threat to be left alive
"I don't know how you fake your coma and train to reach this realm but you must die now blame you bad luck for getting in our young master's way"
he didn't underestimate alex this time and decided to kill him with everything he had as he released the full force of his cultivation
alex knowing the threat immediately took the body strengthening pill and used the speed enhancement scroll this is the only way to bridge the gap between the realm
alex took the initiative and shot mana bullets at the guard captain but the later being prepared disappeared from his place and re appeared almost immediately before alex as if teleported..... no he was just that fast, he summoned his sphere and thrust it at alex's face
woosh*
but thanks to his speed being enhanced alex narrowly dodged by bending down alex knew he was at a disadvantaged at close combat so he tried to create distance between them only to receive the captain's kick
alex tried to block it but was forced back few meters
crack*
there were few crack in his bones
"fuck! " alex cursed he seriously regret not buying a defensive artifact from the system because of his over confidence
before alex could stabilize the captain unleashed his next attack
"spear force: 2nd form multiple strikes"
dozens of spear trajectories launched at alex's direction
without thinking he quickly evaded the incoming spears by jumping to the sides but the captain was already predicted his move he swing his sphere sideways as if trying to alex in to half
alex's body instinctly moved back barely surviving with a scratch on his stomach small drops of blood was leaking from his cut
but before his feet even touched the ground a knee strike was planted at alex's face breaking his nose
"hahaha although you have high cultivation it seems you have little to no experience in fighting! hech you didn't even use any fighting technique"
ghhhhhhhh*
gritting his teeth alex controlling his pain he pointed his mana pistol and tried to shoot the guard captain thinking he should be off balanced since he was in mid air after kneeing his nose
but the captain rotated his body dodging the mana bullet then he caught his wrist and broke it before Alex could react
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! " Alex screamed
not minding his pain the captain kicked him in the abdomen sending him flying towards the wall
spit*
Alex spit his blood his eyes were somewhat blurry he couldn't understand why there was such a difference although the guard captain was a minor realm higher than him but Alex had used strengthening pill and speed boost scroll which should have bridged the gap
'well the answer is simple..... Experience i have little to no experience in battle not to mention the other factors'
In a battle cultivation isn't everything other factors also play a key role experience, fighting techniques, weapons, mentality etc unfortunately for Alex his opponent has all off these higher much higher than him
'but i can't give up yet! '
with shaking legs Alex tried to move but a spiraling spear pierced through his chest
"spear force : 3rd form spiral thrust"
the guard captain pined Alex into the wall with is spear that pierced through his chest
"before I kill you answer me this why didn't you revel your power to your father the Marquis if he had seen your potential he will never let you face such danger as strength is everything to him he might even support you"
Alex just stared at him without answering
"there is also the case with your mom we managed to turn her into our slave because she wanted resources for your treatment but i don't think you were poisoned in the first place else how could you reach your current cultivation? "
the captain thought that Alex had faked his coma and continued training under his mother or something like that but there are other plot holes in his theory the more question the guard captain asked the more confused he himself became
"on top of everything why did you let yourself get beaten by the fourth young master George all your suffering started because you lost to George and got publicly humiliated that day in the training ground.... but why? "
none of this make sense with Alex cultivation it's impossible for young master George to beat Alex no matter how inexperienced Alex was but he still lost and got humiliated leading to his mom and maid becoming our playthings
in fact he knew there is an answer but he refused to believe it such a feat is ridiculous in the entire human history
"oh really.... I think you already know the answer captain I gave my all in that match heheh" Alex said with a weak but mocking voice
"Bullshit are you telling me you were a waste just a week ago but somehow you broke three major realms after that battle.... DO I LOOK LIKE A F*CKING MORON!! "
the guard captain doesn't believe this shit the mere thought of thinking this possibility sent shivers through his spine
"you are just scared to admit reality" Alex said calmly his consciousness was already starting to fade
slam*
the captain slammed Alex to the ground and pulled out his spear
"Fine if you don't want to speak truth then die!"
he started punching Alex with all his power shattering almost all of his bones his internal organs got ruptured but Alex didn't even have any energy left to scream his mind was getting blank
'am I going to fail again? but I haven't even started my new life'
death wasn't new to Alex he had already went through it once but unlike the first time he wasn't angry at the people responsible for his fall instead he was only disappointed in himself he was always careful and plans meticulously to any work he does that's what made him a lowly underdog reach the top of the food chain in his previous world but what happened after he came to this world he got more mature obtained lot of resources from the beginning itself but he also became lax, over confident he still plans his every step but his sense of danger was gone because of the system and dark Alex support which led to him misjudging the captain's powers and now he's facing the consequences
" whatever your plan might be you lost at the end and everything that belonged to you your mom, sister, fiance,lover, wealth everything will go to Isabella and her son now close your eyes in regret hahaha"
saying so he madly laughed pointing his sphere at Alex head ready to put him down for good
"i'll close my eyes but about the regret part..... that shall be yours alone hehe"
even at the death door Alex wasn't afraid he was sure he wouldn't die this was his last trum card..... it's just Alex didn't want to borrow "his" help if possible but now he had no other choice
seeing his relaxed expression the guard captain had a strange feeling his sixth sense he had developed through several life and death situations during her mercenary work is screaming at him as if something really bad is going to happen to him
the guard captain suppressed his uneasiness and decided to quickly finish off Alex he thrust his spear at alex's head at full force
judging from alex's damaged state the spear should have easily pierced through his head but spear never touched alex's head his right hand coated in ominous black mana grabbed the spear with ease
the guard captain's eyes widened he couldn't even move or pull back his spear his instincts were screaming at him to run
but unfortunately for the guard captain it was too late
crack*
the spear artifact shattered just from the force of alex's hand an enormous amount of mana was released from his body forcing away the guard captain
all the broken bones and injuries were healing at an alarming rate while alex coated in black man casually stood up and cracked his neck without even caring about his opponent standing in front of him
"you couldn't even handle this insect hmmm... how disappointing"
dark Alex shook his head in disappointment but being called an insect by a brat he just beaten to death made the guard captain angry
he roared
"you arrogant punk! just because you used some dark magic to get up don't mean i fear you! "
but his trembling legs and scared eyes gave him away
'the pressure from this brat is no joke it's comparable or even higher than the Marquis himself! ' the captain thought
dark Alex acted as if he didn't hear him at all and continued lecturing his other self
"well since you have no experience in fighting I'll help you for the first and last time watch carefully next time you fail you stay dead"
he decided to use the same cultivation base of Alex and use this "insect" captain as punching doll to teach Alex
dark Alex looked at the guard captain unable to even move under his killing intent so he took it back
immediately the captain felt all the pressure suppressing him had vanished but he still looked at Alex with wary eyes
"hmm? what are you waiting for if you can't kill me you will surely die you know? "
then knew dark Alex wasn't lying he didn't understand how the boy who was half dead suddenly become a threat to his life but he knew that he had to give his all to get any chance of survival
he took a fighting stance and summoned a new spear artifact since his previous one was broken and carefully scanned his opponent
but dark Alex stood there without any worry looking at him with amusement he has lot of openings
looking at him the guard captain smirked
'even if he became more powerful using dark magic or something he's still in experienced I should be able to win'
he thought as he made his first move ar full speed
"spear force: 1st form instant stab"
he sprinted towards alex's head to wich the later lazily turned his head sideways as if he knew his opponent's next move
the guard captain didn't stop swing his spear to the side of his head as if to behead him
but before the tip could touch his face
Alex kicked him in the stomach sending him flying
the captain didn't even regain his balance before a leg slam was made on his face breaking few of his teeths Alex didn't stop as he continued his onslaught the captain tried to retaliate only to fail repeatedly
"ahhhhhhh! you fucking Bastard! " the captain roared in frustration
one by one his arms and lims were broken his rib cage was damaged his nose and jaw was broken and blood was leaking
he was completely convinced that the monster in front of him is not same Alex from before he was scared and wanted nothing more than to run away from this demon
"when fighting you need to carefully analyze your opponent everything from his stance, attack angle, muscle tension, surroundings, emotional state, center of gravity etc. then compile it to predict his every next move if you do that it's possible to defeat even stronger opponent"
dark Alex could have easily defeated him in one shot but he was taking his time to show Alex how important fundamentals are
as for how much Alex will be able to learn is entirely upto his ability
after knowing dark Alex didn't even look at him like an opponent the captain furiously shouted
"don't you know what happens to those using black magic in this continent you will be hunted down like a street dog by the church! "
"oh and why do you think I use some pathetic black magic? "
"don't bullshit me those black mana if not black magic then what is it!? " the captain angrily roared
" this?how can a mortal understand my greatness this is the primal chaos and i am darkness itself! " sying so Alex released his darkness power the mere touch of it was enough to shatter any will to resist the captain fell on the ground like a rag doll
dark Alex didn't touch the unconscious guard as he could hear the constant nagging of Alex in his head
'stop don't kill him he will be an important pawn for my plan!'
"how annoying"
saying so dark Alex consciousness disappeared replaced by Alex who has been watching the fight in a different space he had learned a lot but the current him cannot utilize any of dark alex's ability he need to start training
"but for now there are other pressing issues"
he looked at the guard captain and summoned the parasite worm he already brought from the store his plan was to turn Isabella's right hand man into his slave and slowly take away everything from her
he fed a drop of blood to the worm then stuffed it in the captain's ear as the worm sensing it's new host stared moving towards his brain destroying anything in its way
once the worm reached his brain it nested on it rooting itself with his brain
the parasite work is like mind controlling insect that let's it's owner (Alex) control the host (guard captain)
then Alex took out a high grade healing portion and poured it on him
"good with this I have made my first slave "
Alex made an evil grin
"now how about I go for your beautiful wife next hehe"
he still remember hor margret that fucking head maid humiliated him and his mom just a few minutes ago
'bitch just you wait'
