Alex appeared in the middle of this throne hall and a blond-haired man was looking down on him, the first sentence this man said was.
''Alexander, I thought we had a deal? Why are you trying on going back on this? I'm a joke to you?''
Alex said nothing, it seemed that his goal had been exposed still he had anticipated this, so he was not shocked. He was waiting for this so naturally upon hearing Arthur's cold words Alex couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up.
''Not at all but I ought to protect myself and those closest to me. To do this I must get rid of any threat to us, so forgive me there is no hard feeling.''
Upon hearing this Arthur stayed silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
''Puhahahaha! I see, you think you're someone important just because you're contracted to them? Just because I accepted your deal you think you're something?" He declared after laughing.
Silveria immediately understood that things were about to blow up but still decided to observe for a moment before intervening as he believed in Alex's judgment, he would make the best out of this, and he would not completely fall out with this powerful ally, so she believed.
''Well, I'm important for my loved ones and myself, not that I need your acknowledgment.'' Alex's responded and Arthur's eyes shone dangerously. He stood up from his throne and turned and a dazzling light blinded Alex.
A rainbow beam and a calming of emotions all around mark the coming of an angel. After gently gliding down, a luminous being with eyes hidden behind his hair stands in front of him. They stare at Alex intently, and he froze in both awe and terror.
Four elegant, fluffy wings curve around the angel. Their slim body moves with smooth, floating moves and was clad in dangling, golden cloth. They hold a golden spear, he could only guess the meaning of this.
They look at him in the eyes once more; no emotion was visible whatsoever. The halo above their head suddenly disappears, before departing with incredible speed.
Alex calmed his emotions and with cold eyes, he asked.
''Are you trying to intimidate me?''
Arthur didn't answer but he felt uncomfortable upon hearing this question and more importantly, he couldn't acknowledge that it happened because he felt afraid under Alex's pressure, there was no way he would acknowledge that he was scared by Alex.
''What if I did?" He asked, trying to act tough and Alex immediately retaliated.
Arthur would have never believed that he would be put under an illusion judging by his original but because Alex's ability was more ancient and powerful he suffered from this.
Under Asura's Devil's Eye, Arthur suffered an illusion, he was sent somewhere. In a nebula, he didn't have the time to check his surrounding before there was a change.
A shriek in the nebula, a ringing of ears, and suddenly Arthur was blocked by a fearsome beast of blood and heat. Two bitter eyes stare at him with overwhelming power, and another shriek explodes from its cramped mouth as if to summon others.
Two broken horns adorn its massive head, which itself is scarred all over. A constant plume of smoke escapes the creature's large nostrils set within a sinewy nose.
Its massive head sits atop a lofty, inflated body. Shadowy curls coil around its torso, perhaps the remnants of an encounter in a different world.
The creature strode toward him, its two legs gracefully carrying its draconic body with collected energy. A vine-like tail slides behind it, and scars and bite marks are all over its leathery surface.
The creature, disappointed or bored, breaks its gaze upon him for now and because it was his first time facing something so dreadful, he was completely caught off guard but he was not to be underestimated because he was experienced, he easily broke through this illusion and reappeared in the real life where Alex was waiting for him with his Silveria aimed at his forehead.
Arthur got scared and while controlling his voice he said to Alex.
''Calm down let's talk about this, don't do anything you'll regret it.''
''Don't worry I don't want to feel any regret it's why I'm doing this,'' Alex responded and Arthur who finally understood that he was serious paled, the young boy who proposed to him a deal at the beginning was no more, he had grown up beyond anything he ever expected. To the extent that he was now capable of threatening him, Arthur felt threatened right now and this feeling was real as the word real would get.
After noticing that Alex was not giving a damn about his warning, Arthur panicked more and decided to seek Silveria's help.
''Nemesis have a talk with your owner, don't let him make a mistake he would regret.''
''Master, please wait let's talk about this.'' Unexpectedly Silveria decided to intervene but something shocking happened.
''Shut up Sil, I don't need your opinion, I would have asked for your it if I had ever needed it. I'm an adult I can decide on my own.'' Alex rebuked Silveria and she was forced to shut up, Arthur became restless upon noticing this as he understood that nobody could stop Alex in whatever he had decided to do.
Alex's aim was pretty simple, he would take care of what he didn't previously do, and he would take some countermeasures, getting rid of Arthur, Leonardo's contracted gift would be one of them. He dragged ok this for too long, he should have taken care of this problem a long time ago.
Arthur who finally understood what Alex wished to stop was unable to stop him, he couldn't stop him even if he wanted.
Alex activated his silver domain while using the silver bullet to break the contract between Arthur and Leonardo for good.
''I hope your next contractor would be more smart and sensible.'' Alex declared before sending Arthur to his next contractor, he didn't forget to steal a bit during this process to increase his level.
Although he could not acquire any skill he got plenty of exp and managed to sever the link between Leonardo and his Gift, the latter felt it where he was.
