The Broken Prince - Chapter 112

My eyes opened and saw the others. They had my team held and tied to a single tree. Dianne saw me and tapped Hade who smirked.

“Ah, the broken prince is awake. How was your sleep?” He spoke to me. I again wanted to speak and ask him what was his motive but I couldn’t as pain struck from my throat.

“Well, you are just in time. That I am pleased to announce.. Before we kick you out of this competition, we decided to give you a show you won’t forget. Now if you may, watch how your team will be devoured by my fire but no need to worry they will not die. But they won’t wake up after six months. Just like the previous clash they’ve attended.” Hade spoke with evil and darkness laced in his voice.

I was beyond angry at the moment as I wanted to break this enclosure and just stab him straight to the heart when I heard the voice of that woman in my dream.

“Now is the time dear. Break free from the chain that has bounded you for so long.” The voice spoke to me and at that moment. Despite the calmness of her voice, I did not feel anything close to peace nor solemn in me. I opened my eyes to see that Kaval had started to pour flammable liquid on my unconscious teammates. I wanted to scream but could not. I wanted to break free but could not for all I could feel was whenever I tried to break free, the pain that I was feeling started to even worsen and things at this point could go to another sharp turn. Dianne looked at me with an apologetic look before using her powers to grow dry thorns around my friends. I widened my eyes begging for her to not do it but she just looked away with sadness in her eyes.

Apollo then used his powers to do the same thing he did to me back then. I could vividly see how my friends started to choke despite being unconscious and I knew that they were struggling to breathe. I released a cry that sounded so awful. Apollo turned around to look at me and this time, tears were threatening to fall down from my eyes but Apollo looked at me with emptiness in his eyes. He meant business just as how I told him to but if they wanted to do this and make me suffer, they should have not included my friends who has already suffered too much. They are the ones that believed so much in me despite telling them that I did not hold any power in me. Still pampered me despite being in here where all we should care about is our safety and where it should not matter whether I am a royalty or not but they did their best to make me comfortable still.

“Oh wow, now you look like you’re begging. Why not speak dear prince? Oh right. You can’t because I crumpled your vocal chords. I did not mean to do that.” Hade spoke but I could sense how fake and put up it sounded. He looked so fake and I could vividly see his eyes glimmered in happiness from the suffering that I was feeling.

“Burn them!” Kaval spoke with a wicked smile. Hade smiled at Kaval like they were a partner in crime. They all looked so wicked in my eyes right now. My flesh was shaking not from the pain but from the anger that I was feeling. As soon as the fire started to crawl towards my friends, something in me snapped and all of my pain disappeared. I felt nothing but anger. It was consuming like I was a food. I could no longer think clearly as my only focus was to get rid of this people.

Fire reached the fabric of the clothing of my friend and it was eating the fabric so fast. The fire glowed bright red orange so vividly that color alone itself wants to make me kill someone. They all looked at me as my friends started to burn. My ears were ringing and everything felt wrong. Everyone felt like my enemy.

The four of them walked towards me and it was Kaval and Hade that wore the most wicked smile. Kaval lifted my chin up and smacked me. My lips started to bleed but it was nothing compared to the anger that was burning inside me.

“How pathetic. Can’t even save your friends.” My heart even burned with anger as the words came from the least person I expected it to come out from Apollo. At this point I was glaring at everyone. Hade snickered as they walked back to the tree were my friends were tied up. As my sight caught a glimpse, my heart shattered into pieces. They all looked so unrecognizable. Hade laughed even more wickedly as he saw my expression. It was like he was feeding on it. They were barely breathing and I even think that they are dead. Kaval stomped on Pearls’ head whose hair was no longer present. Her skin was scorched and she looked very unrecognizable. Everyone looked so unrecognizable and to think that if they get beaten every clash, they get to experience this. The thought just brings me even more pain. How are such good people get to suffer and humiliation like this.

Kaval was going to kick one of my friends again but I’ve had enough. It’s time to show them that they were to mess with me and more to my friends who did them no wrong. It’s time to let them eat their words and show how they will succumb under my power and might.

An inch away from kicking Delvin. I spoke. No pain was felt nor any sign of a hoarse voice was heard.

“Pathetic?” I spoke. They all turned around to look at me. They all looked confused and both Kaval and Hades’ smile that they were smugly wearing are now faltering.

“It seems like I have not choked you enough.” Hade spoke as he waled towards me. My head was hung low as I waited for him to get closer. Just as he reached his arm and attempted to grab my neck, I used my power to create a powerful blast of shock wave that sent everyone near including the trees to kiss the ground. The rope that kept me bounded dissipated into nothingness as I stood up free from any chains of bound.

They were all on the ground groaning as I was now on my feet, eyes down to look at everyone else crawling and groaning. I felt something inside me wanting to explode and get out. It was my pent up powers that has surfaced. This marks the proof that I now have my powers and has pulled the clowning card over these idiots who believed that I was frail.

I wanted to act even within y head to fool everyone and even I almost fooled myself from believing that I was weak still. Never did I came to know that I was such a fine actor. Now everything shall start. My retaliation and verdict begins now and all I dare say is everyone who dared to stomp over me and dared to trash me is marked as guilty and death as charged of such sanction.

An eye was cast down to stare upon those who crawled on the ground. Dianne was groaning as she clutched her abdomen as she continued to cough out blood. Apollo had his face a cut which continued to bleed.

“What happened?” A voice which came from Kaval was heard. The latter looked beyond confused as to what happened. He was thrown of his feet and was slammed to the ground the moment the shock wave made its way to him but there was one who held the feeling of pain, surprise and horror.

Hade looked at Alexander who now looked down on him. He could feel that his ribs were broken and detached as he was closest to the what it seemed to be the starting point of the eruption. He was still struggling to believe that such immense and sudden outburst came from Alexander. That one person whom he thought to be a piece of garbage has came to fool everyone that he has no power.

Hade being so angry stood up immediately, not feeling the pain of moving. A huge fireball started to form on his hand but he was again interrupted with another blast of shock wave. It then continued to become a series of shock wave that threw them still on places despite being already on the ground. Each blast a crack was felt and heard. Dianne coughed even more blood as she slowly enclosed herself with a cocoon that she had just made as it will help her to recover but then she was wrong as yet the strongest shock wave reached her. She felt like her insides were punched with a bomb as all of her guts wanted to just fly right out of her body.

“Well, why are you all on the ground? We still have not started yet.”
