Ch 174 - An End of Curse
"Malevolent Femcantation!"
Alex only spoke two words but it caused Megicula to stop in her tracks and looked over to him in shock.
"You!..."
Alex chuckled and said. "Come on, Megicula. Do you seriously think that your childish trick can escape from my calculation?"
"Also, what gives you the audacity to think that you can actually understand my thoughts, huh?"
Suddenly, Alex's voice turned cold as a terrifying amount of bloodlust exploded from his body, rendering everyone including Megicula in its vicinity to shudder and freeze in their tracks.
"You know, Megicula, what is the biggest reason for your doom?" Alex raised his index finger, and instantly, Megicula and Vanica's bodies were enclosed into a giant sphere with a ring around its orbit with Roman numerals on it.
"You consider yourself smarter than others but in reality, you are not..."
"This is..." Megicula's eyes trembled in horror as she observed the sphere, speaking in a heavy tone.
"Time Magic! Why do you have Time Magic? How do you get it?" She shouted at Alex, her calm and cool facade shattering in front of Alex's eyes.
Let alone her, even Nacht and others were left flabbergasted by the discovery with Nacht asking in surprise.
"You have Time Magic too?"
Nacht's eyes had turned round from the surprise.
As for the girls, they were speechless since even they were left in the dark by Alex as he had never told them anything about it. They realized that they had actually never known the man truly at all despite sleeping with him for the past two years.
Alex ignored others and looked at Megicula, grinning playfully. "Are you shocked? Do you find something that even you cannot understand? Hahaha... I left you speechless right."
He raised his eye and taunted. "Is the smartest devil amount to this much only? Tch, Tch, Tch... it's pretty simple actually, Megicula. Your perception of my strengths and limits is what I let you have... You have never understood me, Never! I just show you enough that I want to show so you will continue with your stupid plan and fall into my trap."
"Your trap?... No. It can't be..." Megicula finally caught on and trembled all over her body, realizing that Alex had her played right in his palms.
She had never expected that Alex was actually hiding his claws till now even from her.
Alex was always aware of her plan to sacrifice three powerful female mages so she could manifest into the real world and he provided the only missing one to her in the form of three choices.
But it was only to give her a sense of security, fooling her that everything was her own plan but in actuality, he was waiting for this moment like a sharp-eyed eagle so he could have her exactly where he wanted her to be.
Alex saw that she had finally caught on and grinned devilishly as he raised his arm and penetrated the sphere of time, grabbing the frozen black fluid that had yet to completely transform into Megicula yet.
'Devour!'
A huge suction force emitted from Alex's palm, enveloping Megicula and Vanica entirely.
Megicula felt as if his palm was like a black hole, the depths of hell, and her own massive store of magic acted like a hole opened in a dam, gushing out towards his hand.
It was almost visible as well, as dark light sprang forth around her body, encasing her as it seemed to rush towards Alex's hand in a strange movement, forming a weird phenomenon. It was like multiple snakes had originated from Megicula's and Vanica's bodies and they charged toward Alex, wrapping all over his arm.
Alex had a crazed expression on his face as he snorted. "How are you feeling, Megicula? You and Vanica have both wasted so many years torturing and tormenting so many people with your Curses but today, you both are going to be devoured alive... Bwahahaha... I am sure neither of you have ever thought of this moment, right?"
Vanica panicked as she tried to resist but because of the time magic, she could not even move her limbs properly.
Megicula's curse and Alex's Chrono Stasis had rendered her helpless in the face of death.
Alex saw Vanica's horrified eyes and grinned. "Ah, are you scared, Vanica? You of all people are scared. Really? What a scene! Hehehe... I mean, just look at yourself. You are crazy strong, Babe but alas... you mess with this King. In this food chain, I stand at the top. Do not worry. This will be way less painful than your victims. That I can promise you..."
Vanica and Megicula were completely helpless. Neither of them could move or resist that force.
Megicula who was very happy and proud of her schemes finally realized that Alex actually outsmarted her.
In reality, she was or is never the match of the young human at all.
Alex saw that he was close to finishing as he slowly moved his mouth, enough to only let Megicula understand what he was saying.
"You always want to know what I am, right?... I Am A Dragon!!"
When he finished, his eyeballs transformed into slits for a second before returning to normal.
Last time, when Alex attacked the Spade Kingdom in his Dragon's form, everyone who had seen him had died under his Dragon's breath. Not a single was left to report back. So, the Dark Triads had no information regarding that event except that Alex's attacks held the power to destroy cities in a second.
Of course, it was Alex doing it purposely. All the information related to his real prowess was actually carefully controlled and manipulated by him so he could achieve his goal without much hindrance.
Megicula who could hear what Alex was saying could not help but smile as she was finally relieved to receive the answer to her curiosity that was plaguing her for quite a time.
'Thank you, Asta... for at least answering the problem troubling me so long.'
With barely any strength left in her body, Megicula slowly opened her mouth.
"You know, you're closer to a devil than a human... At least personality wise."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Alex replied lightly.
"You should. The weak can only be trampled upon. For us devils, it's all or nothing... Asta."
"Hmm?"
"...I think I'm finally starting to understand what Vanica felt when she looked at you."
She could not help but laugh at her ignorance. She only understood real human emotion on the verge of her end.
"How pleasant~"
And with that, her body finally crumbled and turned into wisps of mana, being absorbed by Alex.
"..."
