The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel
344 Chapter 344Outside the stage, everyone swallowed their saliva due to the sudden change of events.
For many, it didn't bring much shock, but to some others, it was a huge shock.
They saw that Alex spoke some words causing Mark's expression to distort and pause the battle after which Alex made a sword and emanated his aura which made the screen become blurry for a moment.
Sean, who was observing the match, clenched the armpits of his chairs tightly while gritting his teeth.
Seeing a cunning smile on Alex's lips and Mark's expression, he was sure that Alex might have got a hint about his involvement.
Alex hadn't declared his intentions nor his father had made any claims to take him back but he didn't want any more variables.
His battle with Hex was already too taxing and he didn't want Alex to either run for the crown or lend others a hand.
To keep him down, he needed someone to crush him here on the big stage.
He knew that Alex knew a bit about swordsmen but what could he learn from the backwater since he studied in the academy as Magician, even if he had some skill in swordsman it would already be rusted.
That's why he had chosen Mark who was the nemesis of Mages to deal with him but who would have known that there was much more to him than one could see?
The aura emanating from Alex was enough to prove that he trained properly in that aspect.
And now, instead of crushing him, he had set the big stage for Alex and by defeating Mark Alex could finally enter his name in the Continental list and spread his fame far and wide.
Yvonne raised her brows to notice Sean's expression and spoke with a seductive smile"Highness Sean, are you uncomfortable anywhere."
"Your face doesn't look well."

"I was just surprised to see the youngest performance. He has outdone everyone's expectations."
"I am just worried about his welfare. Seeing home progressing properly, I am sincerely happy," Sean spoke with a heavy voice while gritting his teeth.
"Ohh! In that case, I will relay your kind intentions to Alex."Yvonne spoke with a smile and turned her attention to the screen.
For a moment, the change in Alex's aura took him by surprise. She had seen him spare but he always looks bored.
This was the first time he had seen him seriously.
Athena along with others had already her ears numb signing his praises which she dismissed easily.
But seeing Alex fighting so close, made her heart a bit faster.
Honestly, he looked quite cool.
Quinn who saw the scene jumped from his seat and started to laugh weirdly, scaring the nearby.
"It seems he wants to try something."
....
Mark was frightened by the sudden change, as an immense crimson aura overwhelmed him.
"I am not a mage. I am a magic swordsman."
"All Mages and Swordsmen underestimate the magic swordsman. So, I wanted to prove that we Magic Swordsmen are not inferior to others."
Mark gulped as Alex mocked him.
'No, I can't lose. If I lose here my liege would become a laughing stock and his reputation will soar greatly.'
He clutched his sword tightly and advanced.
QUANG!
Alex and Mark's swords collided.
A strong aura that wanted to devour Alex emerged from Mark but he wasn't able to pierce Alex's defence.
Whenever their sword struck a powerful shockwave swept through everything.
For a moment, Mark couldn't hide his surprise.
Alex was at best a Transcendent Rank expert but he showed an absurd defence when it came to blocking his aura.
Even if Alex's prowess exceeded his expectation, Mark had an advantage in rank and experience but from the first clash, he could feel that he was falling short in front of the boy who had just reached 21 and spread his wings which he wanted to cut badly due to his liege orders.
Rumble!Rumble
The ground started to rumble and crack.
Mark gritted his teeth, to pour more strength into his arms and increase his aura.
If Alex blocked the head slashing attack he would step forward towards the left and attack his shoulder and if Alex blocked it again, he would attack from the other side.
It was at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.

Strong gusts of wind surged and Alex was caught in the onslaught of the storm of attack still he didn't fazed and just swung his sword non-chantilly like a machine blocking and parrying all the opponent's attacks.
Marion grasped and soon started to run in a circle around Alex with an astonishing speed.
Steadily, driving Alex into a corner, various images flashed before Alex and many Marks appeared before him aiming the sword at him.
Alex raised his brows and showed an astonishing rate of reaction.
Alex closed his eyes and observed the flow of mana.
QUANG!
A crevice appeared behind Alex due to the force of the attacks but surprisingly Alex was able to block the attack.
The repulsive force of the attacks was so great that Alex's hands trembled a little as he tightened his grip to defend the strike.
"How can that sword hold on for so long?"
"How can this crap sword hold against my sword?" Mark screamed in surprise as he saw the sword made of dirt and ice still holding up.
"Enough chit-chat."
Alex slid his sword and struck Mark.
Mark pulled back his sword and exchanged blows countless times in a second.
The situation changed greatly as he felt that Alex was getting faster and faster.
After blocking his attack, Alex hastily attacked Mark and showered him with subsequent stabs that became faster and faster.
Mark felt goosebumps and was out of breath as his hands started to tremble. Alex each strike was packed with a strong force.
Alex's aura exploded and his sword was covered with a red aura which started to strike and damage Mark's sword much to his surprise many chips started to appear on his sword.
