Alex was not talkative, but with just a nod, he raised his hand and continued to attack, his speed incredibly fast.Fire erupted from his hand, enveloping the phoenix.The phoenix roared in pain and quickly transformed its ethereal form, increasing its speed to evade Alex's flames. At the same time, it created countless fireballs, aiming them at Alex.Alex's speed was unbelievably fast, swiftly avoiding the fireballs.The chase continued relentlessly, but it was evident that Alex was the one pursuing the phoenix.The phoenix was truly in agony and despair. Its beautiful feathers were scorched, making it look less majestic. Its body was heavily injured, causing the surroundings to become blurry.Energy cores were being absorbed, and the phoenix was on the brink of defeat. It was clear to her that she was about to be thrown back into a long slumber, unsure when she would awaken again.Either she would never have a chance to wake up again, sleeping eternally in the primitive Terra Arc
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
After waking up, Alex received careful care from his companions.The next day, Cale finally came to find him. Seeing Alex sitting aside, drawing something, Cale couldn't help but say, "I never expected you to like painting."Alex glanced at him and nodded, saying, "Just a hobby in my free time. What do you want from me?"Cale didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "The president wishes to summon you. Can you go to the presidential palace for a while?"Alex, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow slightly, but he didn't refuse. Besides, he had something to discuss with Moon. It was a perfect opportunity. Alex looked at Cale and nodded, "Alright, when can I go?"Cale was surprised that Alex agreed so easily. He said, "Anytime is fine. The president said he could meet you at any time."Alex immediately stood up and said, "Alright, let's go now. I'm free anyway."Cale looked around and, not seeing anyone besides Alex, couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you bringing anyone with you?
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
Cale is truly a prince with a lot of leisure time. He doesn't even need to worry about anything within the power center of Terra Arcana. Along the way, Cale's subordinates enthusiastically explained the injustices in the power system to Alex's group. Their master is as powerful, talented, and great as anyone could be, but he's not given the recognition he deserves simply because he was born a son.Among them were Thomas, Mia, Aegis, and Sonic. Thomas was the one who had fought alongside Sarah before. He couldn't help but make a fair assessment, "Actually, Sarah is much more talented than your master."As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately received resentful looks from Cale's subordinates.Thomas: "..."It seems that in normal circumstances, Cale treats his subordinates very well. They all display an unwavering loyalty to the point of sacrificing everything for Cale.Soon, their vehicle arrived at the border, the boundary between Terra Arcana and the Shadow Realm. Thoma
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
These giant snakes fiercely raised their fangs and swirled menacingly under the fire; in the light, they appeared even more chilling. Their massive bodies constantly writhed, madly slamming into the wall of fire, then hastily retreating.Clearly, these monstrous creatures were quite peculiar. They seemed unfazed even after witnessing their companions being killed. They hungered for human flesh to the extent that it seemed as if they wanted to lose all sanity.Alex couldn't help but furrow his brow a bit, coldly stating, "Kill them all." As soon as he finished speaking, those behind him immediately moved forward without hesitation.Lucifer was the fastest, clearly repulsed by the scent of these creatures, feeling an extreme aversion. Although these creatures were powerful in mesmerizing others, they were terrible in terms of combat. Aside from having slightly larger bodies and greater strength, they seemed to lack any other combat abilities.In no time, a group of snakes lost the
Upon hearing this, astonishment appeared on Alex's face, and the others were no exception. However, Alex quickly understood everything. If that was the case, then everything wasn't difficult to explain. Why were there abundant gemstones in the Shadow Realm but they couldn't be sold outside? Furthermore, thinking about the fact that people in the Shadow Realm lacked artistic talents, or at most, only a few possessed such skills, crafting exquisite jewelry from gemstones undoubtedly required considerable effort. Moreover, the Shadow Realm had a strong inclination towards isolation, making it highly unlikely to find someone from outside to work as a craftsman. Perhaps the quantity of gemstone jewelry produced was not enough for the residents of the Shadow Realm to buy, let alone enough to sell in large quantities outside. However, no matter how you looked at it, it couldn't be denied that the Shadow Realm was a wealthy region.Alex quickly retrieved a pile of black hooded coats wi
