Xalvagon opened his eyes "Someone's here.", he muttered. He sighed before continuing his monologue "Ever since the whole world was against us, I've always seen it as just me and me alone being there for myself. But then they came.", Xalvagon started to remember all his allies "Nerevion, Grai, Thelmalot, Zailvred, Medusayuki. And even master Dremalock.". He took a moment to think "Now that I think back, Dremalock gave us the most ruthless training we could have ever faced. And the moment we got stronger, he only made the training worse for us all.", he looked at his palm "Then again, I guess it all worked out. During our training, we swore that we would get revenge on the world that had destroyed our home.". He remembered Dairadel, the version of himself and Dairadel from when they were younger to the current moment "Looks like we couldn't remain the friends we once were. Always trying to kill each other nowadays.", he crossed his legs "Then again, it was as expected. When your entire country gets destroyed by the rest of the world from a problem they started, it's hard for you not to get angry.". He faced forward "I don't care how strong you are. I don't care how monsterous you may be. You've killed everyone I've considered my ally...", his eyes narrowed into something more hateful, black and purple in colour "So I'm going to kill you. And then destroy what's left of this world.". Alex on the other hand was running through monsters in the hall way, each one jumping and darting towards him, trying to get close enough to slash him open with their claws and fangs. But to Alex, this was nothing more than a short time of fun. He weaved, punched his way through beams, and kicked the monsters with raw physical strength like they were soccer balls, each one having its insides being reduced to nothing but blood, and their bones breaking and scattering. Alex was ruthless with how he dealt with said monsters, after all, he had once been in a time period where he purposely kept himself in the art killing monsters just so he could become stronger. Alex thought to himself as he grinned "This is really getting boring. Sure, these things are strong, but they can't keep up with me at all. Is it because I've gotten stronger? Or maybe it's my experience of dealing with them that's triggering my instincts.". Alex started to remember his academy days, where he, Kinto, Baraka and other kids in his class would fight robotic beasts as a test "Back then, we always had an exercise every Friday. It had to deal with fighting beasts, but they were modeld after the real thing. And in order to keep us safe, the beasts were only programed to severely injure us, not kill.". He continued to think to himself as he jumped into the ceiling of the hallways before jumping downwards and tearing every monster that lunged at him from above and below "Most of the time, I usually just filter out some certain amount of experiences. But now that I think of it, I've fought actual beasts outside the scorpion that almost killed me back then, or even the one's Kojin made me fight as a kid. That's not even including the ones i dealt with in my three years of training.". He created tiny balls of energy on his palms and then shot them all out, the long and wide range of the beams were high, this was due to the fact that they were highly concentrated. Alex continued to think "For instance, during the months break, Kazuki and I had to fight giant killer wasps for our training missions. We pretty much made it a competition on the amount of killer wasps we killed. Or the time where Diablo created huge magic circles and told myself and Kazuki to dodge them as fast as we could, just so to even touch him.". Alex's smirk turned into a soft one rather than one of excitement "And after that, Serena, Kazuki and myself would always go hangout. Sometimes we even had problem with other teams our age. Those were genuinely good times.". His smirked turned darker once more "Now then....", he created a blade of death with his right palm "HOW ABOUT I JUST BLOW UP THIS ENTIRE CASTLE! THAT WAY, I'LL BE ABLE TO DESTROY YOU MONSTERS AND THAT XALVAGON GUY! HOW DOES THAT SOUND?!". From the throne room, an arrow made from purple energy flew through the hallways all the way to Alex and then blasted his arm off. Blood sprinkled from his amputated wrist like a faucet "Huh?", Alex was in confusion for a moment, but then came Xalvagon appearing right beside him, it was like his movements were one with the wind. Xalvagon said to Alex as he stood beside him, the perception of time slowed for both of them "Hey, you've done enough. Let's take this outside.", Alex's eyes glanced at him "You...". An explosion of both red and purple energy shot through the back of the castle. Astavel and Bellika who were ferociously fighting the guard, had to stop for a moment to understand the kind of power that had been displayed "WOW!", "WHAT THE....!", Bellika and Astavel exclaimed. Meanwhile, Alex and Xalvagon were engaged in a brutal hand to hand combat fight. Alex only had one hand and two of his legs to use as he fought while his other hand regenerated. Xalvagon on the other hand was keeping up with Alex very easily "Hm. Pathetic.", before kicking Alex on the face and sending him bashing through the grounds of the wastelands. Xalvagon created a giant arrow of energy with his fingers, preparing to shoot at Alex. But in an instant, Alex had appeared beside Xalvagon with a blade of death. With a thrust, he was ready to kill Xalvagon, but Xalvagon just used his arrow to slice Alex in half. Alex was in shock for a moment before bursting into clouds, it was a clone "Hm?", Xalvagon was a little appalled by such trickery. By the time he looked down, Alex had already regenerated the palm he had lost, an insane amount of demonic energy shooting out of him. Alex had a deranged smile on his face, not even saying a word. Blade's of death appeared all over the sky around them before Alex grabbed one of the daggers of energy that turned into an Ultimate Blade Of Death. The left side of his face was bleeding, his jaw almost unhinged due to the kick Xalvagon had given. But that wasn't an issue to Alex, the injury was already regenerating "Oh, I'm so going to pay this bastard back in full for that.".
