Soon, Athena appeared in front of Alex, equipped with a better round shield and a stronger spear, with a bastard sword around her waist.
BOOM!
Alex charged in first and swung his sword down as his mask began to calculate any kind of better movements and the movements that Athena would make.
Clang!
Athena raised her shield and blocked but pushed her legs up, making the attack stop, pushing her down. But this Athena was emotionless, so Alex could go all out. Athena twirled her spear and attacked his sides but wasn't able to pierce through his armor, only penetrating the first layer. Alex jumped back and swung his sword left.
But Athena blocked with her shield, although the attack never connected. Then, Alex felt an attack hitting the right side, causing Athena to be thrown back. Alex charged in at breakneck speed and swung down his sword like a hammer.
BOOM!
But Athena redirected the attack using the tip of her spear, redirecting the slash. After that redirection, Alex used his right leg to kick her stomach.
BOOM!
But Athena discarded her shield, grabbed Alex's foot, and dragged him towards her, making him fall. Athena climbed on top and punched his chest, making him cough up blood, and repeated it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Alex took the beating but at the same time grabbed both of her fists and headbutted her, causing her to fall back. Alex jumped back, creating distance, and reached his hand out, calling his sword back, and began coating it in his powers. For the past few minutes, he used physical strength, and the Athena dummy did the same, and now he's using it.
BOOM! A wave of energy covered his legs as it burst him forward, and red crimson flame covered his sword. He saw Athena charging at him with her spear covered in a violet hue.
Alex twisted his body as he swung his blade, and Athena, like a serpent, tried to follow his movement, but that generated more confusion for her. Then, instead of his sword coming to attack Athena, he raised his left leg high and slammed it down on her, causing her head to smash onto the ground and shattering the helmet.
Then he raised his sword with one hand, and the flames increased.
"Demonic Emperor Sword Technique, 1st form: Blackfyre Tsunami!"
Soon, it created a huge tornado as the sword smashed down, but she threw her shield like a Captain America style, causing Alex to cut the shield instead of Athena.
Boom!
A huge explosion engulfed Alex, blinding him, and Athena took this opportunity and threw her spear like a javelin, hitting his mask and shattering it.
"Now you've done it!" Alex snapped as he charged down and dashed forward towards Athena as thunder gathered.
Boom!
Athena drew her bastard sword and immediately blocked the attack, but that caused her to take a step back.
Then both of them engaged in powerful sword attacks and defense. But if this was the normal world, the surroundings would be devastated, while in this world, the chamber immediately repaired the destroyed surroundings.
A few hours later, the battle came to a close as Alex was a few inches from the dummy Athena, her sword piercing his left shoulder and his sword right at her stomach.
[Battle simulator ending: Winner - Alex] the voice came out again.
Alex sighed as he looked at the lifeless Athena, but then Athena smiled a bit, causing him to sweat a little on the forehead. But before he could reach out, she dematerialized.
[Simulator, do the dummies express emotion since I witnessed a dummy Athena slightly smiling?] He asked through the pendant.
[Negative. They only focus on battle rather than emotion, and records state that before dematerialization, it's impossible for a dummy to express emotion. Would you like to do a diagnostic test on the dummies?]
"Yes, do that and submit a report to me directly."
Soon, he left the chamber, and a butler approached him.
"Your majesty, the two guests are waiting in the throne room. Shall I get a new pair of clothes?" The butler asked.
'Oh yeah, it's them. Oh well, I'll let them enjoy the tour in Draconia.'
"Yes, get me a new t-shirt. I'm just going to wear casual clothes," he said. The butler left.
Ever since Alex ascended the throne, he never wore his imperial regalia, since it's mainly reserved for battle or important meetings and celebrations.
Few minutes later...
Imperial throne room
Captain Graves was standing on the red carpet, and next to him was Quinella. They watched as the imperial guards began flanking the throne, each one a head taller than Graves and Quinella. They felt a bit intimidated by the weapons they held; some were long spears, and some had experimental guns.
And one thing for sure, Graves knew that the imperial guard were already god-level beings, just waiting for them to be unleashed upon the world.
"Now entering, The Emperor of the Draconian Empire!" said one of the Imperial guards. A bright glow appeared near the throne, and Alex emerged, wearing a plain grey t-shirt. He did not wear his crown but held his sword in his left hand as he sat on the throne, the sword's tip touching the pristine marble floor, making a good serene sound.
Ting!
This made Graves and Quinella tense up, since the Emperor brought up his weapon and was flanked by the imperial guards. It was very silent; everyone just stared at each other. But Alex was the first one to break the silence.
"So, you're Captain Graves of what division and squad?" Alex asked as he gazed down and released a bit of his power.
"Captain Graves of the 5th Special Operations Division, stationed on the continent Tyrell, and commanding the 5th squad," he said with a slight bow.
Then, Alex turned to Quinella.
"So, tell me, Princess Quinella, I know what empire you come from, but I want to hear it from your mouth," Alex said calmly.
"M-My name is Princess Quinella Alerion, the Crown Princess of the Alerion Empire, your Majesty," she said with a 90-degree bow.
"I see. Well, I finally see you. Oh well, Graves, I know your unit was basically besieged in a town and was forced to fight the enemy army all by yourself. I know the merits of the Novarossi soldiers. So, I hereby order the increase of military presence in the Novarossi Duchy, and I promote you to platoon captain, along with the princess, whom you are going to supervise and keep as a prisoner of war."
