After leaving Sera alone in the bedroom, Alex checked Incursio hoping for a change, but nothing changed except her leg slowly healing. She was still unconscious.
Alex sighed before leaving the room and choosing another room before lying on the bed. Closing his eyes, he sent his consciousness to Silveria's world, in the forbidden zone.
There was a black door in the middle of the forbidden zone. Alex stood before this door pondering but soon pushed the door open and walked in.
Alex appeared in a throne hall; everything was golden. At the other end of the throne hall was a giant golden throne. A man dressed in golden could be seen sitting on this throne. A silver chain tied him against the golden throne.
''You are here, the master of the Death gun.'' The man sitting on the throne lifted his face feeling Alex's presence. His face was extrely handso, as if sculpted by the Goddess of beauty. Short blond hair and golden eyes like a gem.
Alex must admit that if he were a woman, he would easily fall for this man because of his face.
''Yes! Arthur. I hope you have been well?"
''Do you think I'd be well being chained like a dog?" The blond-haired man, whose na was Arthur, fired back, and Alex chuckled.
''I decided to cooperate with you so that you could have treated more nicely.'' Arthur kept complaining, saying how inhumane it was to be treated like this.
Alex was getting annoyed; he had co to chat, to ask for a favor, yet this man, all he did when he saw him, was to keep complaining. Did he think he was so kind of royalty? Even if he was, this was not his kingdom, so he shouldn't expect preferential treatnt.
''You are doing this intentionally, aren't you?" In the end, Alex couldn't help but direct this question at Arthur, whose face changed upon hearing this question.
''Hahahaha! Not bad; you have beco quite sharp. Previously, all you did was to stay silent, letting that annoying silver head, I an the princess, talk. In the end, you asked many questions.'' Arthur laughed, knowing Alex had seen through him.
There were two reasons why Arthur behaved as he did. The first reason was that he was testing Alex to see how fast he would react, while the second reason was to draw out Silveria. Unfortunately, he couldn't achieve the second as no matter how long he waited; there was still no sign of Silveria ever showing.
''I guess the princess won't be coming.'' Arthur sighed.
''Now that I'm looking at you, you have beco powerful since our last eting. What is your current level?" Arthur asked.
''Demigod. Level 144.''
Because Silveria sealed him, Arthur could not use his ability; he could only detect a powerful aura coming from Alex's body.
''I see. It's not bad but tell , why do you co to visit today? It's because of my host?" Arthur asked after receiving the answer to his question.
''Yes! It's because of Leonardo. I want to know how he is doing. I've got an uneasy feeling recently after I was unable to get in touch with him. Sothing must have happened, but I have no way of knowing what it is.''
It was true that he tried to contact Leonardo many tis but failed. From the day he rescued Incursio, he kept trying, but it never worked. He felt uneasy and a little bit guilty after seeing how miserable Camilla was; he decided to check how Leonardo was doing through his Gift.
Leonardo's Gift, Excalibur, the hero's sword, had been with him after that night, the night he visited Leonardo in prison. He sealed this weapon inside his body; well, Silveria did it. This was one of the reasons why Leonardo was forced to take such a dangerous mission.
He had promised to give back Excalibur if Leonardo were to succeed in his mission; he even added the condition that Leonardo would be able to perfectly use the sword if he succeeded, aning Arthur would completely acknowledge him as his master. If this were to really happen, Leonardo would beco powerful; he would be able to perfectly wield Excalibur sothing he couldn't do until now.
Leonardo had no other choice but to accept; he thought he would use this opportunity to co back into the race.
Arthur chuckled when he heard Alex's demand, he couldn't help but says.
''Despite the hatred between you two, you're pretty considerate. I thought you wouldn't care whether he died or not.''
''I do care; he has no right to die before repaying his debt. He was lucky I didn't kill him for what he did.'' Alex replied; his voice was cold as he said those words.
''I see. Let's see if he was in any trouble, although we are temporarily separated.
I can still check how he is doing.'' Arthur said before closing his eyes, following the connection between them, and soon he arrived on the other side; just as he was about to see how Leonardo was doing, darkness filled with evil tried to swallow him; Arthur was forced to cut off the connection between him and Leonardo.
''No good, he was in trouble. He seed to have been chained against sothing. It's all I saw, and I felt familiar energy trying to swallow .''
''Chaos energy, isn't it?"
''Yes!" Arthur nodded to Alex's question.
Alex stayed silent as if contemplating sothing before opening his mouth and giving an order that surprised Arthur.
''Silveria, you will release the seal but not let Arthur go.''
''I understood.'' Silveria accepted Alex's order, which shocked Arthur; he was able finally to understand that Alex had finally subdued Silveria.
''As for you, Arthur.'' Alex shifted his attention to Arthur.
''Yes?" Unconsciously Arthur responded; maybe he was still overwheld by the fact that Alex succeeded in taming Silveria, whom he was afraid of.
''Lend him your strength only when he would be at the door of death and will have regretted his actions. Don't forget to tell him that I had authorized you to co to his rescue when that happened.''
Alex left behind these orders before leaving.
However, before he could leave, Arthur stopped him and said.
''You should try lifting her curse.''
Alex didn't understand at first but soon got the answer. He smiled.
''Thank you for the hint.''
He left afterward.
''So, you want him never to leave your shadow? As expected of the owner of those two. You're quite shrewd.'' Arthur mumbled after Alex disappeared.
''He is our master. Your host should be happy to serve him for eternity.'' Silveria's voice echoed in the throne hall.
''Serve him for eternity, huh? Maybe it wouldn't be bad.'' He mumbled.
