The Broken Prince - Chapter 135
Alexander hatefully glared at Hade one time before he sprinted away from where the cloud that rained lava no longer reached him. He needed to act fast as he already felt the pain of the first drop and he already felt like he was being cooked and tortured. He looked at the burnt part of his skin and he felt his eyes welled up in tears as he saw a part of his upper skin wither and flew to the air. He remembered his promise to his late mother who said that he should not let his skin be tainted or get withered as it was hers and his fathers skin, clothed to him when he came about and was blessed to them by the gods before them.
Spite and anger was all he felt at the moment for Hade Morningstar, he just wanted to drown him but he could not as he was recovering from the sudden use of his power. His veins felt like burning and he was one blink away from collapsing if it was not for the power surging in his body, keeping him awake. He ran and ran until he got out of the clouds proximity but just as when he felt safe, the ground he stood at crumbled and he fell to the hole that appeared out of nowhere. He was up on safety grounds but in the blink of an eye, he was in a clumped hole and was standing on the side. He looked up and saw that there were no traces of that cloud so he was relief but assuming was a bad idea. The soil in front of him started to turn red and then red and sticky hot liquid started to drip on the soil below him. His eyes widened as he started to palpitate.
He needed to find a way and get out of here or else he will be a dead prince by the time this clash is over. He will be inside a hard stone which was the lava that covered his entire existence.. To his disappointment ad utmost misfortune, there was no way of him getting out and to top it all off, a huge boulder fell out of nowhere and sealed the only exit to the hole shut. Now he was completely trapped and the only source of light that he got was the reddish and orange glow of the molten lava that was starting to spread. It was getting hot and he could feel his skin getting drier and drier over the time that has passed. The only thing that he knew he must do is that he must escape at all cost.
Despite his depleted stamina, he closed his eyes momentarily and prepared himself because he knows that he will use a lot of power to escape from the sealed hell hole. He was no longer in his previous form as it took too much stamina and now it took a very huge toll on him. He should have not acted so recklessly and should have thought rationally.
He heaved a huge breath in and closed his eyes. Once he opened them he could already feel the power back in his veins. It feels like sand was going through his veins and that is because he was starting to get worn out from the sudden release of power previously which he now regrets. Nonetheless, he could still ratio his strength out and outsmart Hade. The latter maybe experiencing the same thrill as he did before. Maybe he can wear Hade as well and considering the fact that the latter was already worn out heavily from all of that dodging.
Alexander started to glow bright blue and the lava that was starting to pool under him immediately became stone as water started to invade the small hole. He had a plan that he had up his sleeves and it was his last resort and he hopes that it will work. Everything above at this point would be already on fire, he figured so might as well go on with his last card. He just hopes that his foe no longer has any ace up in his deck.
Water started to fill up in the hole and Alexander submerged himself fully. He started to glow even more and was starting to transform. Contrasting the small and dark space, a bright light made the small enclosure glow as the Prince of the Sea transformed to his true form. Pearl glowed like stars and started to circle around him. His eyes were close and he felt like he was home. He could feel his feet disappearing as he senses that a familiar part of him embraced his lower half.
His ragged clothes were no longer on him as he was half naked. His fair figure was now exposed, skin glowing like it was kissed by the moon. His tail was no longer same as the old one as it glimmered so much as if it was a gem on its own. Crystalized figure it was and would soon show itself to the world. His long hair was now tied into a bun but some parts were dangling on the side of his face. His eyes were accessorized by pearls and small scrapes and fractals of white diamonds .
The mark of the sea emerged and glowed on the back of his neck and his features were highlighted even more. The color of his eyes change into crystal blue and a glowing tiara formed right on his head. A crystallized trident started to form right beside him. The structuring never been seen by any other. It glowed ever so brightly along with the beating of the heart of its owner. Alexander grasped the trident with his hand and everything around him glowed and swirled. As soon as the base of the trident touched the ground, a rumbling was felt and a huge sound of thud was heard all over as if a King just rose to his greatest heights.
Everyone looked at the prince, totally mesmerized by his true form and beauty. They were able to see what happened through highly enhanced cameras that follows a contender everywhere they go. King Archemidius and everyone in the private room looked at the Prince of the Sea as if they did not know him. No one has ever seen him transform with this form, not even his own parents.
A tear fell from Alexanders’ right eye. It glowed so much and left star trails as it ventured to the bottom, as it touched the pit, up above, where everything was on fire, a howl of the wind was heard. Hade stood there confused by the sudden occurrence. All traces of fire were swept out in an instant and the ground where he stood on cracked. Jets of water started to show up everywhere and a sound of a whale crying engulfed the arena. The jets of water started to form into a huge whale figurine above Hade. He used his power to summon a fire shield that enclosed him from what may happen.
The massive water figurine then dropped to the ground and the water started to embrace every corner of the arena. Hade started to float in the air, not wanting to get wet but the water was rising so fast that he was unable to cope. He was immediately submerged underwater and if it weren’t for his shield, he would be drowning and wet right now.
He looked at where he trapped Alexander and saw that the pit was glowing. A few seconds passed and the huge boulder that covered the only escape route ruptured and turned into sand. Hade felt like he was going to be sucked in as a powerful force was starting to draw him closer to the hole was. A bunch of sea creatures then emerged from the hole as if it was the hole of life. All types of creatures swarmed the now water filled arena.
Everyone had their eyes wide as they look at the grand extravaganza displayed before them. The arena became a mini world that belonged to the sea and they wanted to root for their heir really but was too captivated at the moment that they were silently rooting for Alexander to win.
Hade was mesmerized by the view he was in. It looked like he was under the sea, all creatures that he has and have not seen were here. Just as he was so focused on his surrounding, a huge ball of glowing water emerged from the hole and when it popped, the Prince of the Sea revealed himself, a sheer bright light shining throughout the whole arena. Hade wanted to see but the brightness was too strong that he felt like he was looking at a star.
But as soon as it died down, what was left was a prince that looked so godly ethereal that his heart dropped and he just felt like knelling to the ground. Alexander released a huge breath, spreading his arms out open as he twirled for the first time in his new form ever. A smile was etched on his face before he opened his eyes.
Everything was in order, except for this person who belonged in the land. He no longer held remorse but inside him, this one must be evicted from his sight and he will get rid of him for sure this time. His tail moved gracefully, eyes were soft and aura calm but behind that was a deadly intent that was going to explode any moment.
