《Promise》Chapter 34:

Geralt stepped straight to Alexander, dropping his swords and took his shirt off, just like when he fought Kyle. Alexander soon followed Geralt and in one minutes, they were standing in the circle and staring each other in the eyes.

“Oh Geralt, I did not know you were so eager to die young. How many times have you tried to fight me before, 5 or 6? And do you remember how many times you won ?” Alexander taunted Geralt.

Rather than answering his taunt, Geralt just remained stone cold focused, his eyes did not move away from Alexander's eyes for a second then he finally said “Goodbye, you dog”.

Geralt slowly walked to Alexander, closing the distance between them. The last 6 battles against Geralt, Alexander easily defeated him, Geralt was skilled but inexperienced and still relatively weak, he could not match Alexander's experience fighting style and brute strength. But the person that was walking right toward him at this moment was like a completely different guy, Geralt did not charge in with all his force and speed like he always did. Geralt came in cool and calm, his eyes were deadly, looking straight into Alexander's eyes as if he was reading his mind. Everybody was silent, all eyes were on them, every move they made, every breath they took. The moment the distance between the two got close enough, they rushed in and attacked each other. Blow for blow the two exchanged, and Alexander got the worse end of the trade. “How could it be ?” He thought. Geralt's punches were more powerful than he could ever imagine, each hit he took felt like a hammer. And on the opposite, Alexander attacks were like wind blows. Geralt did not even flinch when Alexander punched him straight in his face, his eyes were always dead on Alexander every movement, every slight shift in Alexander eyes, at that moment, one could say that Geralt could have actually read his mind. They both threw everything they got at each other and like what Kyle said there was no mercy, this was not an exhibition match.

Geralt was getting faster and stronger by the second as it seemed, dodging his opponent's attacks while dishing out hell. Finally after Geralt landed a series of attacks on Alexander’s face and stomach, Alexander Leon dropped down to the ground.

“Stand up !” Geralt said “Up I said, you pathetic, do you want to die like a dog? I said stand up and fight me seriously.” Geralt screamed at Alexander, his eyes filled with anger and fire.

Never in his life had Alexander experienced such a beat down before, this feeling of pain and blood was something very much new to him. He had fought so many battles before, he even fought Geralt multiple times before, he did not win every battle he took part of but never had he felt this way before. This feeling he had in his chest, this feeling of cold and darkness, the feeling of fear, a feeling that a man like Alexander had never felt before, until today.

Too afraid of what was about to happen, Alexander’s legs were shaking, he tried to crawl away from the duel with Geralt.

“What the hell are you doing ?” Geralt yelled “I can’t believe I used to lose against someone like you. On your feet Alex, at least try to show some dignity”. Looking at his father’s eyes, all Alexander could see was disappointment, his father was a renounce fighter, he had high expectations for him and right now his pride and legacy was running away like a coward.

Tears filled Alexander's eyes, he gathered all the strength he had left, stood up and faced Geralt once again. This time Geralt did not wait any more, he quickly closed the gaps and attacked Alexander. A loud sound echoed through the sky, one punch, that was all it took to knoch Alexander to the ground once again, Geralt’s ‘lesson’ from Kyle really had paid off. But Geralt did not stop, unlike Kyle, Geralt got on top of Alexander and relentlessly threw punches after punches straight to Alexander’s head. No one could have recognized Alexander now, his face was full of blood and swollen, his teeth were broken and Geralt did not show any sign of stopping.

“Come on Alex, what were you going to do to my sister again? Tell me, I could not hear you from earlier. Go on, what’s the matter, too close to death to answer” Geralt spoke as he continued to throw more punches at his face.

Alexander did not show much response anymore, it was very clear that the battle was over.

“Fa...ther…” Alexander spoke, his voice cracked as barely anyone would make what he just said because the sound of Geralt and his furious beating was too loud. But one man could hear it very clearly and it was his father, Sebastian.

Sebastian Leon rushed to the scene as he could not take it anymore, kicking Geralt away from his son. Geralt, who did not see that kick coming, got hit straight in his chest and was blown 2m away to the ground.

“Do you want some of these two old men ?” Geralt spoke as he quickly got back on his feet again. He came right at Sebastian like what he had done with his son from earlier, but the result was not the same, Geralt attacks were easily handled by Sebastian Leon and his retaliation was much stronger and more deadly than his son. Well he was the leader of the Lion guide after all. Geralt was still standing but this scene now seemed very familiar to him, just like a battle that he had not so long ago.

“Get back Geralt, you have done your part” Kyle said “ I am sorry to say but you are still no match for Mr Sebastian Leon here”. Geralt’s eyes were still filled with fire and anger, but he knew what Kyle said was true and he did not let rage get the better of him, he slowly stepped away from Sebastian. “Your luck just ran out,” Geralt said to Sebastian. The moment he stepped out, Kyle walked in.

“Well now finally we could have a fair fight” Kyle smirked. “You can put your son away first, I want him to see his father get crushed under my hand” he taunted Sebastian.

Sebastian did not show much emotion at what Kyle just said, he picked up his badly beaten son and put him outside of the fighting circle. “ I am sorry my son” Sebastian said to Alexander before he turned around facing Kyle.

No word was exchanged between Sebastian and Kyle after that, they were focusing on reading each other's next move. Sebastian landed the first strike, doing a roundhouse kick aiming for Kyle head, which he dodge at the nick of time. Sebastian used this attacking momentum to dished out a series of attacking moves, all Kyle could do was dodged and defended. But no matter how hard or fast Sebastian attacked, he did not land a single clean hit to Kyle until this moment. A fake attack from Sebastian caused Kyle to dodge prematurely, letting Sebastian get a chance to throw a single left hook to Kyle's face. Sebastian knew that this might be the only chance he got and put all his power to this single attack. “Bang” a loud noise broke out, Sebastian had just hit Kyle for the first and hopefully last time. But what he received was disappointment to say the least.

“Was that it ? I gave you a clean shot and this is what you gave me” Kyle spoke. After receiving the punch from Sebastian, Kyle did not look like it got to him at all. Yes his face was red where Sebastian had just hit him, but other than that, his eyes were still the same, still looking focused and deadly cold. “It's getting late, I guess I’ll end this quickly”. Just as he finished his words, Kyle countered Sebastian with a left hook of his own. And unlike Kyle, Sebastian was completely stunned by the attack, his vision got blurry and before he could get back to normal, Kyle continued to attack him without mercy. Kyle punched Sebastian’s ears simultaneously, causing him to completely lose his balance and his vision. And after that, it was just a beat down from hell, Kyle just relentlessly striking Sebastian in his head and upper body. Sebastian at that point could not defend himself as he was too disorientated, as a result, each of Kyle's attacks landed cleanly and forcefully onto Sebastian. His mouth was full of blood as his teeths were broken from Kyle mercilessly attacks, his nose was broken and his eyes started to bleed as he was losing his vision. Kyle kicked Sebastian at the back of his knee, a strike so powerful that one could almost hear the popping sound when Sebastian’s knee bones got dislocated. Sebastian screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, Kyle then kicked Sebastian’s arm right in the elbow and again dislocated his bone as well. All everyone could hear was Sebastian screaming in pain right now. Everyone in the Blackburn guide was shocked at what they were seeing, Sebastian Leon the fearless guide leader from the Lion guide, the one who had fought countless battles and killed countless men, was screaming and lying under Kyle's feet. Kyle then grabbed Sebastian by his hair, pulling him up, making him stand on his one good knee, letting him see his son before saying “Don’t worry this paint will be over soon, I will show you some mercy, say your last word to your son”.

Sebastian spoke out “Fuck you !, Die in ...”. Kyle did not let Sebastian finish his words as he snapped Sebastian's neck, turning it 180° backward.

“Noooo !!!!” screamed Alexander, his father corpsed now dropped straight to the ground lifelessly right in front of his face. “You monster, I ‘ll kill you !”.

“Stay down, I don’t want to kill you too” Kyle said, but Alexander did not care, he got back up to his feet, his eyes were full of tears and anger. He attacked Kyle without thinking and without hesitation, but an injured Alexander could not land a hit on Kyle. Kyle easily dodged and blocked his attack.

“I am sorry for what you have witnessed, but if you don’t stop right now. I won’t hold back” Kyle said, but once again Alexander did not listen and what must come must come. Kyle redirected Alexander punch and did a series of counter attacks on his own, mercilessly punching him in the face before a final move. A spinning high kick by Kyle aiming at Alexander's head, the strike was so powerful that Alexander’s head was disfigured and he died right after. Kyle then walked to Sebastian's corpse and picked it up, putting it next to his son's dead body and closed both of their eyes for the last time.

“ Hum, free solo exp I guess” at that moment, Kyle checked back his status and saw that he was now lvl 3. While Allan, Luna, Maria and Liam were only lvl 2.
