A little far away from the City Of Clex, Alex's figure hovered in the air along with Christina and Riya.
Christina and Riya stared at Alex's myriad changes in Alex's expressions as the battle went on.
Seeing drops of sweat trickling down from Alex's face even though they were quite high up in the air with cold soft winds brushing past, Christina frowned.
After pondering for a moment, she finally understood this guy.
"Ufff...This guy."Christina sighed and placed her palm over her forehead with a resigned expression.
"Huh.....What happened, Christina?"Riya made a befuddled expression. Her gaze interchanged between Christina and Alex, wondering what happened.
"Your Husb...I meant our husband."Christina changed her speech, receiving a deep glare.
"He seems to be having withdrawal symptoms and finding it hard to control himself from going there to create a mess," Christina spoke with a chuckle. Though her IQ can be considered quite less, almost like a block of wood, when it comes to battle and things related to that, she has got a good eye.
Riya blinked her eyes multiple times.
"Withdrawal symptoms as if they were drugs..."
Both Christina and Riya glanced at one another and then burst into laughter.
"You guys...Stop joking."Alex's lips twitched seeing his wife's playful nature. Naturally, he was feeling a bit odd seeing a battle going before him that he wasn't taking part in but that wasn't enough to make him anxious.
"I am a bit worried about them and seeing those few casualties is making me a bit restless. The reason I always try to take the lead and shoulder most of the battle is that I hate people who follow me dying in the war. It saddened my heart."
Alex, who had died once and saw his loved one dying right before his eyes, naturally doesn't like death when it is someone around him.
Everyone who dies might have parents waiting for their son's arrival, a wife waiting for her husband, a daughter or a son waiting for his or her father to play around and fulfil their wish. It was the same if the one who died was a woman.
It is okay as long as it is natural death but death in wars naturally makes him a bit sad. That's why as he got stronger he always tried to make sure that the number of people died less.
"If I had swept out everything, those few people might not have died."Alex clenched his fist.
Seeing Alex's seriousness, Christina warped her arms around one of Alex's arms while Riya held the other.
"I know your pain, Alex. But they have to be self -reliant. After all, we are going to have a war of fate where everyone has to fight. You can't shield them from that and they need experience."Christina spoke softly with a warm voice undertaking the pain.
She knew very well the horrors of war and how much it affected the family after all she can be said to be one of the victims of war.
"I know it's a good thing but it seems you are getting soft. Unlike before when you are too cold and merciless, killing with the slightest protection. People's hearts hardened when they reached the stop but you seem to have gotten soft."Riya whispered.
"Soft...You are telling me, I have become soft."Alex's expression darkened.
He freed his hands and wrapped them around the waist of two women startling them.
"Just wait, I will show in bed just how hard I am."
"Hmph!"
"You..."
Both Riya and Christina's expressions turned red from embarrassment. If it had been before Christina might have not had such a reaction but after experiencing things, she was too shy to talk about this.
Her husband's figure was too good.
Alex, who found the situation taking a weird turn, thought of using this opportunity to mess around and calm his heart, leaned his face to give a peck.
Just as he was about to kiss...
BOOOM!
A loud earth-shattering explosion bellowed and a huge mushroom-shaped cloud rose above the surface startling Alex.
"What the...?"
Alex's jaw dropped wide along with Riya and Christina.
"Just how much explosive did you use?"
"HUGOOOOO!"Alex screamed, feeling his heart bleeding.
'This guy just blasted more than a ton of TNT. Damn it, did you think explosives grow on trees or did it get mined from the ground.'
Riya and Christina swallowed their saliva seeing Alex's bloodshot expression.
"This fool killed a few members of his own group. Leave me, I am gonna skin him alive."Alex roared furiously.
Riya and Christina tried to calm him down but Alex's expression turned ugly as he saw Mythic rank coming down and biting Aeon and others.
"Alex, it's just a few tons of explosive. Why are they making a fuss about this?"Riya chided.
"Riya, 1 kg of explosive is sold for 10000 gold coins. Do you think 10,000 gold coins is too little now that we have the whole wealth of the Empire? Just because I allowed them to squander they're gonna take away a whole wealth.''
'I just gave my child a bank and card as a gift to make him use a bit but he squandered millions. Is this a joke?'
Christina wanted to reprimand him but stopped noticing Aeon getting injured.
In Alex's eyes, it was just like a big guy coming out and bullying his children.
"The Mythic rank is utterly a shameless bastard to the core, bullying poor people."
"It's not as if you hadn't done that."Christina rolled her eyes.
"I did that for a righteous cause, my beloved wife but this bastard…." Alex smiled but this time it was anything but gentle.
"Enough now."Alex's voice turned cold seeing life's life-threatening situation.
"I can't restrain any more."Alex snapped his finger and mana condensed around.
A white mass of crystallised spear appeared out of thin air.
BOOM!
Leaving behind after image, Alex's figure darted across as he threw the spear towards a particular someone that moved across tearing the place.
Christina and Riya who stood at the back could only shake their heads in disbelief.
"I knew things were going to happen like this," Christina muttered indifferently.
"It's already good enough, he didn't blow out everything. "Riya added.
"Let's go, we should lest he might blow out everything."
Christina spoke and then both of their images flickered and disappeared in thin air.
