Looking at Alex who stood proudly before him without a once of fear and with a resolute face as if sure of his victory, astonishingly Ceros was not furious, on the contrary, the current Alex makes him remember a past figure, their prince, the black prince. Ceros wondered if he was still alive, not knowing how much time passed since that war, Ceros could hope that the Black Prince was still alive, that he must go out to search for him, to once again work under him to conquer the world.
And to do this he must go all out and finish Alex with an overwhelming attack.
While Ceros was preparing to end the fight Alex was checking how much MP he had left. He had 2500 MP left.
''This should do.'' He mumbled himself before his expression abruptly changed and he looked in front of him, he saw a grinning Ceros.
You managed to surprise me, I wasn't expecting you to be this strong, sincerely I'm still surprised." Ceros said with a vicious smile. "And I should have expected nothing less from someone she sent here."
"...." Alex turned silent.
"Now let me show you absolute strength that you can't surpass."
Ceros released the restrictions on his pores.
BOOM!
A frightening aura exploded out of him like a tsunami, destroying everything in its path. The ground started to shake as if an earthquake was happening.
"!!"
Alex's expression changed for a millisecond before it reverted to his indifferent one. Lifting his left arm he aimed the silver gun at Ceros and fired.
''Erase''
BANG~!
Like an unstoppable comet, the silver bullet tore through the air and arrived before Ceros in a matter of seconds.
"!" Ceros didn't know why but his face paled from alarm when he saw the silver bullet in front of him. He had the feeling that he must avoid this bullet or else a terrible catastrophe would befall him. Therefore, he tried moving his body, unfortunately, the bullet was too close. Left with only one solution, Ceros bellowed, his muscles bulged to the limit, his magic power roared and got manifested outside of his body forming a ghostly black flame intending to incinerate the silver bullet that was not too far from Ceros's body.
However, what happened next Ceros couldn't ever forget it as it was the same thing that happened back then and he was caught. That ability, that power has hunted his dreams even when he was sealed.
''No way.''
That was all he could say before the silver bullet canceled his magic and entered inside his body before bursting into a silver light that wreaked havoc inside his body like the most terrible poison, his magic power vanished like smoke.
Black blood erupted from Ceros' mouth and spread through his body.
RUMBLE~!
The sky rumbled and the ground trembled under his feet. In that instant he knew he was done for as he was badly injured, he couldn't muster even once of magic power, without magic power he is considerably weakened to the extent that his physical strength will drop more than half, it was to be expected. His race is what they call a magical species. They function essential thanks to Magic, therefore when they are deprived of what made them what they are, they are considerably weakened.
Alex tapped on the ground and charged forward, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. Like a meteor, he directly smashed on the frozen Ceros.
BOOM!
Like a ragdoll Ceros was blasted back, strangely this scene seemed familiar, it was the same thing he did to Alex.
Whoosh!
Alex accel-ed to reappear where Ceros would end up, and he kicked back to where he came from.
BOOM! BOOM!!
In the next minutes, Alex kicked Ceros back and forth, it was as if he was playing soccer. Ceros could only suffer in silence hoping to tire Alex out. He may have lost his strength and some of his physical strength due to lack of magic power but his skin was still tough, so he can suffer a little bit beating, Alex would be exhausted soon, so Ceros thought.
Bang!
Alex kicked Ceros flying, the latter rolled on the ground a couple of times before standing. While wiping away the blood from his mouth, he glared viciously at Alex, however, due to the state he was in, he didn't appear intimidating at all, he couldn't be more pathetic.
Slowly, Alex walked toward him. He had already canceled his domain as he was about to run out of MP, he checked Ceros status, Alex was surprised to see how much Ceros weakened after losing his MP.

Sighing Alex vanished to reappear before Ceros, the latter threw a punch toward him. Alex easily caught his hand before twisting it into an unnatural angle.
''Gyaaa~''
Ceros wailed to be shut by Alex could voice.
''Too noisy.''
Bang! Bang!
Alex thrashed Ceros' face into the ground twice before tossing him into the sky like a ragdoll, he waited for him to almost fall at his level before kicking into the sky again.
Bang! Crack!
The ground cracked under Alex's feet as he shot into the sky, bypassing Ceros. Alex spun in the air and positioned himself to deliver a good leg strike.
Bang!
Alex's kick shaped Ceros into V before he clashed against the ground.
BOOM!
A huge crater was created where Ceros landed. His mouth fell open, and blood sprayed out, his body convulsing with pain.
Alex landed one foot on his hand as he did back then.
Still, with a deadpan face, Alex said, ''I hope I was a good student, teacher?''
Ceros spurted a mouthful of blood when he heard Alex's words. How could he not understand what Alex meant?
Alex was repeating what had been done to him, however, while it was not exactly as Ceros did, Alex's way of toying with him was more vicious.
At this moment, Ceros understood why Silveria didn't appear as she knew that Alex could handle him no matter what scheme he may be preparing.
''Kill me,'' Ceros said as he sees no need to continue this charade as the victor could be seen.
Alex only grinned, his grin sent a chill down Ceros's spine as he sensed something ominous that is about to happen to him.
Indeed, his fears came true.
Aiming his gun at Ceros Alex fired.
Bang!
''Gyaa!"
Bang!
''Gyaa!"
Bang!
''!"
Bang!
Four bullets were drilled into each of his limbs, arms, and legs. Black blood oozed from the wounds. Ceros' body kept twitching nonstop, the proud Ceros was no more, what is left was a pathetic squirming bug wanting a swift death, however, even such a simple wish couldn't be granted. So, he couldn't only suffer, he was in so much pain that his voice ceased to come out.
Looking at the current Ceros, Alex sighed and decided to finish him as he has vented enough.
Just as he was about to grant Ceros's wish, Alex heard Silveria's voice, the latter suggested.
''Master, finish with Snatch.''
Even though he wanted to ask her where she had been, Alex knew that now wasn't the time for such a thing. He decided to follow her suggestion, he has more or less guessed what she was after. If not for her, he would have forgotten.
''Bye, it was a good fight.''
Alex said before firing a bullet in Ceros's head. He didn't forget to use snatch as Silveria's suggested.
In his last moment, Ceros answered Alex's previous question.
''Yes! You have been a good student. It was a good fight.''
Ceros's was dissolved into a red light before entering Alex's body. Too tired mentally to check his status even after hearing a notification, Alex fell onto the ground face first.
