Alexander The Great Mage

Chapter 155 - Human Scion King VS...

Prince Marius stood silently in the sky as he stared at the hive of activity beneath him. His eyes shone brightly with a strange light that was not in the least human.

The City of Rin's rebuilding effort had gone on for several days and all the debris had been cleared. The walls were already back up and the foundations of many tall buildings were being laid.

"Hmmm. A powerful undead spell had been cast in the area very recently." Prince Marius said to himself. He waved his hand lightly and closed his eyes as he studied the remnant undead energy. "Very powerful indeed."

His eyes shone with bloodlust and a deep hunger.

Devouring the Conclave had filled him with an abundance of delicious energy. But the power he gained from them only made him hungry for more. He felt as though a deep monster was about to awaken within him, and it made him look for stronger and more delicious beings to consume.

"Let's get you to come out and play." Prince Marius grinned maniacally.

Although he still looked regal and powerful, there was also a potent trace of madness in his handsome face.

Silently and without much fanfare, a corrosive energy rolled off Prince Marius and slowly moved to blanket the city.

"It's not polite coming into another person's home without saying anything." A cold voice sounded out of nowhere.

An equally powerful energy surged out of the darkness and repelled Prince Marius's corrosive energy.

"Hahaha! I am saying something! Look! My death energy is saying hi to you and all of your little friends!" Prince Marius cackled like a crazy old man at his less than funny joke.

Alexander frowned as he realized that this crazy young man's corrosive energy was not simple at all. It was overpowering his Scion Lord energy quite handily.

"Come now, show me your real power. This level of power isn't what the rumours are saying at all!" Prince Marius slowly increased the power that he was releasing.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Prince Marius's corrosive energy quickly overwhelmed Alexander's Scion Lord power.

"Could it be that he is a Scion King as well?" Alexander thought with a deep sense of worry. "Are Scion Kings now so easily created that even a madman like him can become one?"

"He is Prince Marius." Flamewing said as she teleported next to Alexander.

"Prince Marius??" Alexander was surprised.

"Eh? You know who I am? Haha! You're quite knowledgeable for a backwater villager!" Prince Marius roared with laughter.

"He doesn't seem to be very sane." Alexander squinted his eyes and studied Prince Marius.

"I still think I should handle this." Aleyria said as she teleported next to Alexander as well.

"No. Let me handle it. You two just make sure the effects of our battle does not spillover to our citizens." Alexander said firmly. He quickly released his own Scion King powers and finally pushed the corrosive energy back and fought it to a standstill.

"Whoa! Lady, you're really beautiful! You're the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life! I have decided. You'll be my Empress when I become the Emperor of Symphonia!" Prince Marius proclaimed grandly. "Come here!"

"Wow, this week must be my lucky week. I have not one, but two proposals from two different men. To be their Empresses, no less!" Aleyria joked lightly.

"Getting proposed by a madman counts?" Alexander asked as rolled his eyes.

"Hey, at least it's a proposal." Aleyria replied with a laugh.

"Seriously though, has he always been this way? He seems too crazy to be a Prince of Symphonia." Alexander asked Flamewing.

"No. He was perfectly normal and… Cool, even. I don't know what happened to him…"

"Lady, are you ignoring me? I am going to count to three. You better come here before I get angry!" Prince Marius shouted.

"One!"

"I really want to smash him into pulp. Are you sure you don't want to let me do it?" Aleyria frowned.

"Two! I am warning you, you don't want to see me angry!"

"Let me do it. In exchange, you don't have to give me a wedding gift!" Aleyria offered.

Alexander laughed out loud. This fiancee of his truly was fierce!

"Three! Damn it woman! Here I come!" Prince Marius roared in anger.

Although he was loony and crazy, his powers were no joke.

The already dark sky seemed to darken even more and a deeply oppressive aura fell upon the trio. The very air itself began to break down into highly corrosive substances.

Blink.

Prince Marius appeared before them and his right arm shot out towards Aleyria.

"Truly insane." Alexander shook his head lightly.

Blink.

Alexander teleported Flamewing and Aleyria away, causing Prince Marius's hand to grab at nothing but air.

"Damn you! Give her back to me!" Prince Marius snarled at Alexander. He swiped his rapidly decomposing right arm towards Alexander.

Alexander leaned slightly back and avoided the swipe by the barest of margins.

Sensing that his attack had missed once more, Prince Marius fell into deep fury. He allowed his right arm to continue on its motion and spun his body instead, sending his left arm shooting towards Alexander.

Alexander stepped back and avoided Prince Marius's attack again.

Before long, Prince Marius was spinning very rapidly like a whirlwind, trying to slash at Alexander who kept on stepping back again and again, somehow managing to avoid all of his attacks.

"GROARRR!!!" An inhuman roar sounded from Prince Marius's throat as he finally grew so angry that the last of his humanity simply gave way to the monster that was growing within him.

"Hoooo. So you're the real power behind the loony Prince Marius huh?" Alexander remarked as he stared at Prince Marius who was transforming right before his eyes.

Long, spiky white hair grew out of his head and his eyes began to glow yellow and red. His muscles bulged and his teeth grew horrendously long. His hands and feet became claws, and most fearsomely, two slender horns grew from his head.

"GROAAARR!!!"

"Devilkin!" Flamewing said in Alexander's mind. "No wonder he sounded so crazy! He is possessed by a Devilkin!"

"What in the world is a devilkin?" Alexander asked as he resisted a clawed punch by the Devilkin with his palm.

Surprisingly, the Devilkin was so powerful that Alexander was actually sent flying away!

"AND WHY THE HECK IS IT SO POWERFUL?" Alexander shouted as he broke his momentum by releasing a powerful burst of energy in the opposite direction.

"It's from the Realm of Darkness! Be careful! It is extremely powerful! It has the ability to devour as well!" Flamewing warned Alexander.

"Powerful or not, I am going to beat him to pulp." Alexander finally decided to get serious.

His energy level suddenly spiked as he summoned a powerful storm of lightning that began to strike at the Devilkin continuously.

"Take this as an appetizer!" Alexander shouted.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thick bolts of lighting infused with the power of Perses and Zegaro smashed into the Devilkin's body with astounded force, tearing his skin and dealing vast amounts of damage to him.

"GRAAAHH!!" The Devilkin roared in anger.

Blink!

It disappeared from Alexander's view and appeared behind him, claws already swinging.

Alexander spun and sent out his own punch to counter the Devilkin's attack even as he ducked to avoid its claws.

BAMMMM!!!

Alexander's fist connected and he discharged a massive amount of lightning energy infused with the Power of Perses and Zegaro.

"GRAHHH!!" The Devilkin roared in pain! However, the fight was far from over. The Devilkin sent both of its hands around Alexander and grabbed hold of him in a tight bear hug!

Alexander tried to blink away, but found to his annoyance that the space around them had been locked down.

"Damn you sneaky demon!" Alexander cried out.

"GRAHHH!!!!" The Devilkin released a powerful surge of energy as it attacked Alexander with everything it had.

It buried its claws into Alexander's body and discharged its own Scion King powers into Alexander! At the same time, it tried to absorb Alexander's power!

"AHHH!!" Alexander shouted. "DAMN YOU!"

A horrifying amount of energy suddenly erupted from Alexander as he ignited all of his Scion King's powers at once. There was no finesse nor elegance in what he was doing at that moment.

It was pure and unbridled power exploding forth out of his entire being and dealing everything in its area of effect, an attack that defied the laws of space, time and the elements.

BOOOMMMM!!!!!

"GRAHH!!" Although the Devilkin was powerful and had consumed the power of so many Scions, making him a one-of-a-kind Scion King Devilkin, it had only awakened very recently and as such, it was not able to react to Alexander's all-encompassing attack effectively.

It took the full brunt of Alexander's attack and was blown away, heavily injured.

"GROOOOOOO!!" The injured Devilkin decided to go all out as well, and he erupted with a horrifying power of his own!
