The Phoenix launched a powerful attack, relentlessly pushing the wraith backward. The flames of the Phoenix caused him excruciating pain, forcing a mouthful of blood from him. Even though he no longer existed entirely at this moment, he could still sense the pain as if his body were being torn apart.Gasping, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, but he did not stop. He tightly gripped his sword, coldly staring at the Phoenix, refusing to take even a step back. The Phoenix couldn't see Alex, but she was sure that Alex couldn't escape this place, and capturing him was just a matter of time.She circled the wraith, resembling a cat toying with a mouse. She sneered, her voice full of malice, "Do you think you can defeat me? Sacrificing yourself for glory that doesn't belong to you, humans are truly incomprehensible."The wraith remained silent, an expression of unwillingness to respond. The Phoenix found it uninteresting and taunted with a chilling gaze, "If you can't surrende

"Splash!"A large wound appeared on Umbra's back. This wound cut diagonally across his back, extending from the shoulder to the lower part of his waist, with some parts so deep that you could see the bone.Fresh blood sprayed out incessantly. Just looking at it was enough to make one feel unbearable pain. Umbra opened his mouth wide, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his eyes gradually lost focus.Truly agonizing, the burning wound felt like it was being seared, hurting to the point where he just wanted it all to end! The Phoenix had not stopped there. Reveling in its achievement, it continued to swoop towards Umbra.However, this time Lucifer intervened in time. Lucifer looked at Umbra struggling on the side, his brow furrowing.Finally, as if having made up his mind, the air around him suddenly changed. Black flames surged high, forming a circle enveloping both him and Umbra.The small Phoenixes that intended to fly in were all burned to ashes by the flames. Even the

Aegis quickly stepped forward, his suspicious eyes flaring with heat. He glanced at Lucifer, who was carrying Alex, and furrowed his brow, asking, "What happened? What's wrong with Alex?"Others quickly approached Lucifer, mouths agape with questions. Mia frowned and said, "Why is this happening? Everything should be normal after the dungeon closes, or did something else happen?"Sonic even started shedding tears, unable to articulate his thoughts. Even Thomas, on the side, couldn't help but furrow his brow at this situation.Cale looked at Lucifer and asked, "What happened to Alex?"Lucifer hurried to the room and spoke in a low voice, "He suddenly had a fever. I called the doctor here."Everyone here could tell that Alex's condition couldn't be a simple fever. However, at this moment, they couldn't say anything more. They quickly assisted Lucifer in preparing water and implementing rapid cooling methods. Meanwhile, Cale promptly called the family doctor.Alex, unaware of the c

Alex increased his speed on the way back to Cale's castle, then to his own room. At this time, others were probably still in the training grounds. According to Alex's knowledge, Terra Arcana was one of the least chaotic and peaceful regions, standing behind Mystica. After leaving Terra Arcana, they were sure to face even greater dangers, which was why his companions were training fervently, hoping to become stronger.As the reluctantly elected captain, Alex silently carried the burden without complaint. He sat down on a chair, glanced at the floating book on one side, and then called out to Umbra, "Umbra, are you still there?"Lucifer had told Alex about a man in black who fought with him in the dungeon, but when they left, the man was nowhere to be found. Lucifer even asked Alex if he knew that man. Alex, of course, knew, but the existence of the dark soul was Umbra's secret, and he could only shake his head, claiming ignorance.It was only now that he remembered wanting to ask

The fragrance was gentle, leading people into a dreamlike state.Alex, in particular, considered himself not particularly obsessed with beauty. He wouldn't freeze at the sight of a girl, let alone forget where he currently was. This fragrance was peculiar!Alex almost immediately drew a conclusion. He furrowed his brows a bit, then raised his hand, conjuring a strong gust of wind. The enchanting atmosphere was immediately blown away, and everyone quickly regained their senses.Lucifer narrowed his eyes, instinctively stepping back. Cale cursed loudly, "What the hell! My eyes, my eyes!" He quickly retreated as well. Aegis, while not as extreme, blushed and turned her head to the side, looking no different from a young boy.Among them, only Thomas remained relatively calm. He looked at the girls before him, even whistling in a playful mood. These girls seemed to be scared by the fire, instinctively recoiling a bit, tears welling up in their eyes—a pitiful appearance.Cale's sub
