The Broken Prince - Chapter 122

Alexander started to throw solidified seawater towards Hade. He then started to dodge the latter’s attack which was very unpredictable by Hade as Alexander was beyond unreadable at this point. It was just like a kid was having fun with his toys and even though Hade does not want to acknowledge such, he and the other was Alexander’s toy.

Alexander then started to throw endless attacks towards the other which was dodging his attack. Hade at this point looked like a frog that kept jumping from one place to another. He barely had any second to catch his breath as whenever he landed on a new spot, a new spear has been fired towards him. It went over and over again and Hade feared as he realized that his plan has backfired towards him it was him that was starting to burn out as he was breathing really hard and he was sweating as well.

To make everything more difficult, whenever he started to jump, his back would crack sending unbearable pain through his body. He was bleeding and his throat was so dry that whenever he started to heave huge breathes, it felt like he was inhaling sandpaper.

“I never knew that you were such a good dodger Hade-” Hade at this point was beyond pissed not because of the others word but because he was getting agitated as he was becoming the oppressed and the hunted which was never the idea and the plan. Alexander was not able to continue what he was about to say as the other was already in front of him. A painful blow was dealt to his abdomen.. Red liquid splashed on Hade’s face as the other coughed out blood. Before Alexander could come up with an answer he was then punched again. Then it went on and on until Hade felt like his hands were about to pop.

He looked at the other who was breathing weakly, eyes staring at him and face smudged with blood. Hade breathed heavily and got to his feet. He then raised his hand to the air and then a huge fireball was above Alexander but unlike the usual fireball, this one could knock you out for a year or maybe even more. It was glowing in a bluish shade and the surrounding immediately felt very hot. The grass has wilted and Alexander’s skin felt like boiling and to the point where he thought that it would peel off.

Hade then slammed the fireball towards the other before it could gain his strengths back and this time, no options were given and made as an availability to the pulped Alexander. The huge ball of fire glowed so much upon impact and everything burned. The leaves were ignited and then turned into ashes in a mere second. Everyone who was watching looked at the battle and thought that it was finally over. Not a single one was able to proclaim a clear winner and only then did they were able to know the winner when Hade slammed the huge ball of fire to the now unconscious Alexander.

The crowd that supported Hade erupted into hysterics and series of cheers as Alexander laid there like he no longer had a trace of life on him and Hade remained standing despite the now broken spine. King Archemidius looked at the battlefield with wide eyes as his heir was now lying almost if not lifeless on the ground. His hand clenched to balls of fist. Captain Elevi was immediately on his feet and was about to run immediately to the arena but King Archemidius held his hand to make him stand at ease. They are not allowed to go to the arena and even if they did, no one knew the exact location as to where it really was.

Nate was looking at the screen. His eyes were wide and his hands were covered on his mouth that was hanged ajar. He felt like crying and kneeling to the ground but Jean had him on his held to keep him from falling completely. Everyone from the Kingdom of the Sea looked with wide and teary eyes as their heir was on the ground with so much blood that has shed. If this was a war, they would have gone right to hunt the location of the arena and mob on Hade for doing that to their heir.

The announcer was about to declare Hade as the winner when bolt of lightning strike to where Alexander was laying The clouds on the venue immediately turned gray as the sun was covered by the moon. Everything was now pitch black. As when they thought that it was over and everyone from the Kingdom of Fire and Nature had rejoice for they had assume the win of their heirs, their cheers died down as a low frequency buzzing sound started to emit from the screen that they were watching on. Thunder roared and lightning ignited the now dark surrounding and before they got the chance to blink an eye, the fallen prince that reigned all the way from the deepest parts of the sea, stood up slowly with traces of lightning encircling his body.

Hade looked back slowly and his eyes widened at the sight that he never ought to see. Standing before him was a person that first survived the ultimate weapon he ever had. It could wipe out an entire encampment if he wanted to and even kill someone but at this point, it seemed like it didn’t made an impact to Alexander as the latter stood there like everything was fine and not a single bone was broken.

“Now you have really done it Hade Morningstar.”

The floating platform quaked so much that it was starting to crack and turn into rubble. Hade started to stumble on his feet and struggled to keep his balance. He still was not able to keep his balance as chunks and huge pieces of the platform started to break and everything was falling back down. Hade could only catch a glimpse of Alexander floating, glowing faintly in the shade of bloody red as the morning star and the moon crossed right behind him.

Everyone inside the arena had their eyes wide open and looked at the scene that was unfolding before their eyes. Nate was shaking and was itching to go inside as he feared that Alexander has lost his grasps on his power and has finally succumb to his victory lust state.

“Nate, you shall answer me as to how this came to be. My son is lost and is engulfed by his power. He might be reckless enough to kill Hade. When that happens, war will ignite and everything that is in order will be in chaos.” King Archemidius spoke while his eyes were still glued on the screen. The shaking was felt all the way from where they were which means that the venue was near.

With everything in chaos, King Morningstar rose from his seat and looked at his son who now was struggling so much in beating the heir of his enemy. He looked to the right side and saw King Archemidius looking at the screen and looked like he was reading every movement and calculations that was made by his son who he now thinks has gone berserk just to get the victory.

He thought that if only Hade could be that powerful, he would have no second thoughts about their kingdom being in the hands of his not so capable heir. No matter how and what everyone says, what happened back then with Hade taking over the spot as the ruler of their kingdom was nothing to him. His achievements meant nothing to his father, King Morningstar as what was really on King Archemidius mind was so train Hade and become the person who will avenge the death of his mother but that did not happen. Instead his son went on to form alliances and follow the order still despite finding out who the murderer was.

He had his reasons for stepping back down and for rejecting almost everything that dared spoke to him during the past years where he stayed hidden in the eyes and views of the public. He still did break down after the downfall of his wife and what everyone thought of him being a drunkard when he was hidden behind the walls of his room was still true. Him crying was true as well. What he thought about his son avenging his mother was just a hope he came to find along his grim and dark days. But it did not happen. And for him, that was how Hade fail and how he would look like a total failure in his eyes. As long as he has not brought down the family of the Archemidius, he will and shall always remain as someone who is too weak to sacrifice himself for his family. And King Morningstar saw that trait of selflessness to be the only thing that will make Hade a true ruler.
