Alex cut down one of the scarecrows before he ran towards the man controlling them. He smiled as he easily dodged Alex’s sword before two scarecrows jumped in front of Alex’s sword and took the blunt of the attack. 

“Bastard! Stop hiding behind dead bodies and fight like a true warrior!” Alex yelled.

“Dead bodies? What kind of artist do you take me for?” the man protested before he explained, “I like to use living beings to make my dolls. Should they die in the proses? Oh well, as long as the doll is made with a living, breathing being. I could care less and by the way, I’m not a bastard. The names Victor.”

“You, you made them this way while they were alive,” Alex questioned in disgust. His hand tightened around his weapons handle before he threw it into the air. He suddenly took the other two swords and also threw them into the air. The fell towards Alex before stopping above him. he glared at Victor before he yelled, “You mutilated innocent people for your own pleasure. You’re worse than any demon I’ve faced!” his blades flew towards Victor who just smiled and raised his right hand up. the blades suddenly stopped. 

“I should tell you why I don’t care if my dolls are alive after I’ve created them,” victor said as he snapped his fingers and Alex’s blades spun around and faced him. Alex stood there in shock as Victor continued, “I can’t control them if they’re alive. I’m only allowed to control non-living creatures.” Victor snapped his fingers and the blades raced towards Alex who quickly used his magic to gain control of his own blades.

“My army of dolls will wipe out this pathetic world and I’ll replace all the retched humans with dolls,” Victor explained with a chestier cat grin on his face.
