The Broken Prince - Chapter 119

“Alexander, tell me more about it when we finish this but for now, let’s get you to sleep. You’re way past your bed time.” Dianne spoke and used her powers to summon huge vines in the size of a persons leg. They encircled Alexanders legs and arms and grabbed his body and made it stick to the ground. His face was on the side as he was facing down the platform.

Alexander on the other hand could not move his body as the weight of the vines that were on him were too much and too heavy than that of his own combined body weight.

He felt the heel of someones shoe stomp on his face. He felt like a stone was slammed on his head as he felt very dizzy and pain struck from his head down to his whole body. He could no longer see straight but he knew who the person was.

“Can’t speak? Come on, the story was quite getting interesting. I would very much like to know how me liking you went.” Hade imitated the other who only could groan.. The spear was now poking on Alexanders back as they were thrown even deeper as he fell to the ground.

Hade and Dianne were so sure that they were going to win but there was still one thing that Alexander trained so hard for.

“What happened, cat got your tongue? I do have to say that you did quite surprised not only me but everyone that you have your powers but such a shame that even if so, you are still as weak as ever. I don’t care if you put those two to sleep but as long as you don’t defeat me, you will always be a weakling in my eye. Worthless fish.” Hade spat bitterly as he pushed his shoe harder on the head of the latter.

He then picked him back up and a sense of wickedness was starting manifest within him as the sight of Alexander being bloody and in pain brought him so much satisfaction. He threw him again and made him bounce from left to right with fire. Alexander’s skin was starting to swell and his skin were starting to peel of from his flesh. The daggers that was on him made breathing a lot harder as if he started to take deep breaths, he could feel his lungs burn making him choke slowly.

What he was experiencing now was sheer pain. It was not even competition anymore he felt. At this point, he just wanted to slam everyone near to the corners of the dome but he still can’t do that with the daggers still embedded on his body. He could just groan silently as he got thrown side to side over and over again.

“Dianne, your turn.” Hade spoke before throwing Alexanders frail and broken body to Dianne who nodded. This time, her aura was nothing that of his friend but a true Princess who knows her duty. Vines immediately slithered on Alexanders body gripping so hard on his limbs that if he moved a little, he fear that they might get decapitated or get his bones broken. A vine encircled his neck and immediately gripped on it so hard that his eyes almost bulged out.

Tears was pooling on his eyes as he gasped for air and was gripping on the vine to let go as he felt like he was going to pass out which should not happen because he then would loose and all of what he planned would go in vain.

Despite the pain, he chose to use his power because it’s either he feels and endures physical pain or he would feel the pain of loosing. He screamed as excruciating pain flowed throughout his body as he ignited his powers turning the vines into ashes.

“How brave Alexander. But let’s see how long you can play and act tough.” Dianne spoke and motioned his hand forward. Huge thorns came from the ground and started to crawl again to Alexander but failed to reach him as the latter started to release low but powerful pulse of energy that repelled everything that came his way.

Dianne got irritated and used everything she got. She summoned all of the creatures that she can command along with what nature had. Guess that at this point you could say that mother nature was against Alexander but the latter could barely blink an eye.

He knew that all of what was heading his way would come to a halt if he stopped the source of the command which is Dianne so before Dianne knew what was happening. Alexander flickered for a second and the next thing she knew was that the other was holding her neck.

“Apologies Dianne but it’s you that has to go.” Alexander spoke. He endured the pain as he grabbed all of the spear that was on his body and looked at Dianne which looked at him in horror while shaking her head. Something tells Alexander that Dianne knows how this goes. Probably from previous experiences. He snickered wickedly. He felt a presence behind him and quickly held his other hand out. Hade was thrown back with the powerful pulse.

Alexander wickedly smiled at Dianne before he used his free hand to plunge the glowing and fiery straight into Dianne’s arm. The other howled in pain as she tried to break free from Alexander’s grasp but was no longer able to do so as the burning sensation was already spreading throughout her whole body.

Alexander took another one from his body and plunge it to her leg, then another on her chest. He then dropped the other and looked at her still with the same wicked smile.

“Not really fun when you’re the one being pierced huh?” Alexander spoke before making Dianne float. A white bubble was around her and soon enough, water started to pool down inside. The other banged on the clear wall but Alexander could only smile and shake his head.

“That water will boil if you keep moving. Either way, you are still going to drown. Not to worry, when you’re barely alive and is unconscious and the bubble detects that you are incapable of waking up without help, it will pop.” Alexander spoke before turning around to face the remaining opponent on the field.

Hade immediately stood up and dashed towards Alexander with a sword that he summoned. Alexander on the other hand summoned his bow and transformed it into a sword as well. Clanking sound was heard from the arena as the two remaining heirs battled for the place and spot to be the ultimate victor of the game. They continued to clash, their blades aiming to hit one another but both were too strong that only their blades could touch.

They glared at each other so intensely that if looks could kill, both will be dead. Hade and Alexander at this point was breathing really hard. They flew at the opposite side after their fight and stopped to catch their breath with both still being very vigilant upon the movement of the other.

Both held their hands out and a blast of both fire and water coming from both side, clashed in the middle of the platform. A powerful blast was created upon impact that shook the entire arena. The audience could only watch with wide eyes for at this point, there was no clear winner. It could be anyone’s game at this point as the two were up to par in strength and are still not wavering.

Most of the audience were impressed on Alexander being able to hold out for too long despite the blows that he has taken. After a while of them using their powers, they both lowered their hands as they steadied their stance as they were almost thrown off the platform by the blast.

Hade looked at Dianne behind Alexander. The water was on her neck and she was just crying and was looking at Hade. Although Hade had made the weapon, he can’t disable it as the only way to destroy that was if he himself breaks it.

“Worried about your partner? Oh don’t be. Both of you will end up half dead when you leave this arena.” Hade snickered at the statement and looked at the latter.

“How confident of you to assume that you’ll be leaving here safe. If I knew better, your at your limit while I on the other hand still have a lot up on my sleeves. I wouldn’t be too sure-”

Hade was cut of mid sentence as an exploding arrow infused with water that can seep out half of your blood headed towards his face. If he didn’t had fast reflexes, half of his blood content would be on that arrow.

“You were saying something? I think it’s you who’s too sure getting out of here alive. You can’t beat me Hade Morningstar. Just as how your father lost to my father, you too shall loose to me. Even if it’s not fated, it will be if I say so.”
