Brandish: So, you are saying that all of the things that have happened in this world are God having fun??!!
Brandish glared at Axel but Axel didn't react, he just shrugged his shoulders.
Axel: I gain nothing from lying to you... or telling you a made-up story. I strong enough to defeat the Spriggans on my own.
Brandish started pondering in her thoughts after hearing what Axel told her. It was true that Axel didn't gain anything from lying to her and he could also defeat everyone in the Spriggan Twelve. Axel has already defeated Irene and last time their Emperor had ran away from him.
Brandish: I guess you are right... so what do you want me to do?
Axel: Nothing... simply nothing. Just stand aside while I and the others will fight with the Spriggans.
Brandish: Fine... I have been already planning to stand aside... it is too troublesome.
Axel: Good girl... this is the reason I want to chase you.
Brandish snorted after hearing what Axel said but didn't refute him or made any protests.
Brandish: Do this after all of this is over... now I am going... I am very tired after talking with you, I need a power nap.
Axel sweatdropped after hearing how lazy Brandish was, but since he has told everything to Brandish and she has decided to stay away from the fight he didn't need anything more from her at this moment. As Brandish said previously, Axel can always chase her after all of this was over. Since Brandish didn't refute him or protest his flirting, Axel was completely sure that Brandish wasn't against the idea.
After paying for the food both of them left the restaurant and went their separate ways. Axel looked over the capital and several places were burning which meant Mira and Cana have already started to cause destruction. Axel didn't hear any explosions which meant the walls of the restaurant were really thick. Axel contacted Mira and Cana and found that they were waiting for him at the campsite.
Axel: Why didn't you call me before?
Cana: You were busy with that green-haired girl so we decided to leave you alone with her... so did you enjoy your date?
Mira: So... are we getting a new sister?
Axel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his girlfriends treated him like he always chasing girls. Even if it was true but they could have been a little considerate of his feelings. Axel felt like crying in a corner but decided to do that later because he wanted to leave the Capital quickly.
Axel walked towards the gates and left the Capital, he was walking at a slow pace because he was relaxed since Mira and Cana have caused enough destruction to cripple the army of Alvarez at least for few months. Axel was about to walk off the road when he felt someone of the Spriggan Twelve coming towards him. Axel turned around and found that it was Ajeel. Axel knew that Ajeel was one of the most arrogant members of Spriggan Twelve so he would make sure that Ajeel would rest here for eternity buried by his own sand.
Ajeel landed in front of Axel raiding a dust cloud everywhere. After the dust settled down Ajeel started to walk towards Axel who stood in his place with an indifferent expression on his face.
Ajeel: Sweet... you don't look like anyone from here.
Axel: I am not from here... I have just come here to sightsee but I didn't expect to be greeted by Ajeel the desert king.
Ajeel was taken aback slightly, Axel clearly knew who Ajeel was but he was not scared of him even in the slightest which could only mean two things. One, Axel was stronger than Ajeel, and the other that Axel was plain stupid. Ajeel decided to go with the second option.
Ajeel: So you must be the one to cause destruction, right?
Axel: I don't know how you reached that conclusion but I know you won't be believing me even if I say I wasn't the one to do it, right??
Ajeel: Kaka... Sweet... no you will be coming with me one way or the other way.
Axel: Good... this will give me a good excuse to kill you...!!
Ajeel got enraged and released his Magic Power which was instantly suppressed when Axel released his Magic Power. Ajeel felt a chill run down his spine and started to sweat heavily. He was sure now that Axel was way stronger than him. Ajeel decided to run away as soon as possible. Ajeel attacked Axel with Ant Lion Pit and everything beneath him into quicksand. Before Ajeel could become happy the ground beneath Axel froze completely.
Axel: Good try... but not enough.
Ajeel became even warier but a sudden idea came to his mind. Both of them have released their Magic Power and Axel's Magic Power was insane and the other Spriggans must have noticed it. Since this was an unknown Magic Power he was sure that it would attract the other Spriggans and they would act instantly by coming here. So, Ajeel just needed to buy some time.
Ajeel immediately used his sand body and hid within the sand. Axel also understood what Ajeel wanted to do. Suddenly Ajeel appeared behind Axel with a double-bladed ax made of sand. Axel's sword appeared in his hands and without even looking back he parried Ajeel's attack. Ajeel was shocked but didn't wait and attacked Axel with Sand of Death. As soon as the Sand erupted it was frozen solid encased in ice. Ajeel was again shocked but didn't wait for Axel to retaliate and went for the next attack. Ajeel jumped away from Axel and made Sand Golem and Sand Monsters to attack him while he used another attack Sand World to bury Axel.
Axel: I am bored now... I have seen everything you could have done.
Axel immediately turned into Focalor and several tornados appeared beside him and went towards the Sand Golem and Sand Monsters. Every creation made by Ajeel was blown into the sand. Ajeel was really scared now but the Sand Storm summoned by him was still on its way. Two tornados of different colors were formed within Axel's hands and combined them together to attack the storm.
Axel: Foraz Zora.
Axel released his attack which made a huge hole on the massive wall of the Sand Storm. Soon the Sand Storm collapsed on itself. Ajeel used this chance to run away but it was too late. Ajeel felt someone grabbed his shoulders, he looked back with fear clear in his eyes and saw Axel smiling at him. Axel was already in his human form and a huge amount of lightning passed through Ajeel's body which paralyzed him.
Axel: Don't be like that... I feel disrespected. But since I am a nice guy I will let this go.
Ajeel felt slightly happy since Axel said that. He felt that he wasn't going to die now but Axel's next sentence made him puke blood.
Axel: Since I am a nice guy I will bury you in this desert since you are Desert King.
Before Ajeel could say anything Axel cut off his head killing Ajeel. Axel then felt several of the Spriggans coming towards him. A cold smile appeared on his face and he used wind Magic to cover Ajeel's dead body and his head with sand.
Axel: Don't worry Ajeel your friends are coming here to accompany you for eternity...
