The air grew heavy , Not just heavy Oppressive.
As if the room itself was being crushed by an invisible force.
Alexander stood ready, his glowing white aura flickering around him, sword steady in his hand.
"Show yourself," he said coldly.
Silence.
Then A shadow moved Not from one direction…But from everywhere , A figure slowly stepped forward from the darkness.
Tall.
Still.
Wrapped in a black cloak that seemed to swallow the light itself.
His face… barely visible.
Only his eyes , Cold. Empty. Absolute.
Alexander's grip tightened.
"…Left Hand."
The figure did not respond.
He didn't need to His presence alone was an answer.
A single step That's all it took.
The ground beneath him cracked without him even touching it.
Alexander's aura flared violently.
"Don't come any closer."
Another step.
Closer.
No hesitation.
No fear.
Alexander moved first In a flash , He vanished.
A streak of white light cut through the darkness as his blade aimed straight for the figure's neck.
Fast.
Precise.
Deadly.
Clang.
The sound echoed.
But…
The Left Hand hadn't moved Not even a little Alexander's blade Stopped.
Mid-air.
Held…
By two fingers.
Silence.
Alexander's eyes widened.
"Impossible—"
The Left Hand tilted his head slightly , Then Crack.
The sword shattered , Just like that Like glass.
Alexander jumped back instantly, breathing heavier now ,His aura surged even stronger.
"You think this is enough to stop me?!"
No answer , Then The Left Hand raised his hand.
Slowly.
Casually.
And suddenly Alexander's body froze Completely.
His eyes trembled , His muscles refused to move.
Even his breath Felt controlled.
"What… did you do…?"
The Left Hand finally spoke , His voice…Was not loud.
But it carried weight that crushed everything else.
"You were not given permission… to act."
Alexander dropped to one knee.
The ground beneath him shattered.
"I… followed the mission!"
he forced out.
"Incorrect."
The word alone Felt like judgment.
"You interfered."
A pause.
"You revealed too much."
Alexander's teeth clenched.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"That boy… is unstable."
Another pause.
"And you… are replaceable."
Alexander's eyes burned with rage.
"…Then try replacing me."
For the first time The Left Hand moved faster than perception.
He appeared in front of Alexander.
No sound.
No warning.
His hand reached forward , And stopped… just inches from Alexander's face.
Everything around them Collapsed.
Walls cracked , Air distorted , Reality itself seemed to bend.
Alexander's pupils shook , Not from pain From fear.
"Consider this… a warning."
The pressure vanished Instantly.
Alexander collapsed to the ground, gasping.
His body trembling.
His sword… gone , His aura… shattered.
The Left Hand turned away As if nothing had happened.
"Next time…"
A pause.
"…you will not be warned."
And just like that He disappeared.
Silence returned But not the same silence , This one…Was heavier.
Alexander slowly lifted his head His face… no longer proud.
No longer calm , Only one thing remained Fear.
He thinks about one thing or one guy "Alarec" .
