Back to Alex and others

Alex raised his head and looked straight at the bandaged guy, speaking in a cold tone.

"You're a very annoying bastard. It's best if I kill you!"

He raised his sword to release another attack but before he could, a hand appeared from behind, stopping him in his tracks.

Alex glanced behind and saw Fuegoleon shaking his head.

"We should capture him for interrogation."

The captain of the Crimson Lions said those words slowly.

Alex sighed and retreated his sword, sheathing it back.

"Only because it's you, Captain Fuegoleom."

Fuegoleon took a sigh of relief and raised his hand at Rades. "Flame Binding Magic: Leo Palma!"

A fire erupted around the bandaged guy and multiple lion paws gripped his body, binding him.

"Let go of me! I'm still- Damn it! Damn it!" Despite being in pain, Rades tried to do his best, struggling to break free from his restraints.

"There are many questions I would like to ask you. But before that, I will be confiscating your grimoire." Fuegoleon said.

Rades felt a rush of fear gripping his heart as he tried to move his remaining arm to escape from the bindings.

"Don't!" Rades yelled as he saw Fuegoleon taking his grimoire in his hands.

"What is this grimoire?" Fuegoleon question after seeing how thin it was. He then opened it to reveal only one page.

'There's only one page?' Fuegoleon questioned in his mind after seeing only one spell.

"Don't! Don't look at it!" Rades yelled out of fear and embarrassment.

'He can only use one spell?' Fuegoleon thought after closing the grimoire and looking at Rades.

"Don't you dare look down on me!" Rades yelled.

"You're working with at least one other. A spatial magic user must have infiltrated the royal capital. Where are they?" Fuegoleon asked.

Rades just glared at the Caption of the Crimson Lions, not uttering a word.

"You've made it clear that your motive is revenge, but what are you and the other attributes overall?" Fuegoleon asked Rades but he startled laughing.

"Our true motive... is you. Fuegoleon Vermillion!" Rades said as black magic appeared under Fuegoleon's feet and consumed him, teleporting him somewhere else.

"Fuegoleon!" Leopold shouted.

Alex shot for the group of zombies lying on the ground, defeated by him, and slashed into them.

It surprised Noelle and Leopold but before they could say anything, they saw one of the zombies possessing a grimoire.

He even used it to open a portal and teleported himself to the top of a building.

*Boom!*

But just as he landed, the roof crashed down, making him fall into the rubble.

The house had been slashed by Alex so it was very weak, unable to bear the weight of a human as it collapsed.

But the magician was quite sharp as he used his spatial magic again to teleport to another building.

"I never thought there was a freak like you in the Clover Kingdom. But it's already over now."

When he said that, a portal opened and Fuegoleon fell from it with an arm missing.

"FUEGOLEON!!!" Leopold shouted, startled by seeing his elder brother in that state.

Noelle tore a piece of her clothes to stop the bleeding, as Leopold was having a mental breakdown. Fuegoleon's grimoire then dropped beside him.

"His grimoire is still intact which means he's still alive!" Noelle said as she wrapped his arm in her clothes.

Rades was planning to make a move when out of nowhere Alex flashed in front of him, summoning the demon slayer from his grimoire before slamming it on his leg.

"Aahhh!!" Rades cried in pain as Alex had cut his leg off.

Alex grinned devilishly. "I cut an arm of your guy so you cut Fuegoleon's arm but do you think you can just leave then? Now, I have cut off his leg too. Show me what you can do now!"

Valtos was startled, taking a step back in fear. He thought watching the Captain of the Crimson Lion on the ground close to his death, everyone would flock to him, letting them give him a chance to escape.

But never in his dreams did he think that Alex would retaliate with such a move, cutting off Rades's leg.

'Fuck! Who is this guy? Is he some kind of monster or what?'

"Valtos! Do something?!" Rades gritted his teeth and shouted.

Valtos gulped down in fear and spat out. "I can't!"

Alex smirked and explained. "My sword is connected to my Anti-magic. No magic will work in its range!"

Rades who had just got a ray of hope fell in despair. Despite how he acted, he was very scared of death!

Suddenly when it looked like it was game over, the tables were turned over again with the appearance of five figures draped in white robes.

Rades grinned, watching the reinforcements arriving at his aide.

Noelle and Leopold were taken aback by their appearance, feeling pressured by their high level of mana.

Alex on the other hand smiled before laughing madly.

"Hahaha... more prey for me to hunt!"

His pupils sparkled dark black like a bottomless abyss.

The five of the enemies perceived the changes and felt a shiver run down their spine.

Then they saw something that made it evident that all of them were fucked up for good.

Alex's cold voice echoed in the surroundings like a whisper of death. "Monarch Domain - Null!"

His shadow extended up to a hundred meters, creating a domain around him.

The five of them along with Rades and Valtos were caught by surprise as they shouted in unison.

"How can you use Mana Domain?"

Even Leopold and Noelle were curious too, staring at Alex.

Alex grinned, bringing a piece of bad news to them.

"Hehe... this is not a mana domain, you brats! I refined my Anti-magic to the extreme creating this Monarch's Domain. It nullifies all magics in its range while sucking the mana of my enemies. All magic turns to null here and that's mean..."

He stared at them with a sadistic smile. "You guys are just pigs waiting to be slaughtered now."

He waved his hand and shot a knife at one of them.

The guy instantly opened his grimoire to use a spell to protect himself but he found that he couldn't use magic at all.

It was already too late for him to dodge it anyway as the knife struck his chest.

*Puff*

In a second, he vomited blood with his body convulsing in pain.

"Y-You... You smear poison on it." The guy barked in hatred as he glared at Alex, his body trembling non-stop before he hit the ground, lying lifeless on the cold concrete road.

The other four were caught by surprise and watched their companion dying in horror with a shiver running down their spine.
