Alex and Aegis had just finished eating when they heard the sound of the monster knocking on the door; it had come to clean up. Aegis couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly—how could the monster know exactly when they finished their meal?However, his question was sure to go unanswered. The monster finished cleaning up and pushed the food cart away, and before leaving, it didn't forget to smile and remind them once again not to leave the room for the next 8 hours and not to open the door for anyone. If they violated these rules, they would face the consequences.This time, Aegis and Alex didn't say anything more; they simply waited for the monster to leave before closing the door. Aegis sat on the sofa, his gaze skeptical: "What is there outside at night that the monster keeps reminding us like this? Even the rules emphasize it."Paying little attention, Alex replied, "Perhaps it's not just outside, but inside this hotel as well."Aegis remained silent, slightly shuddering at
Booster was trembling so much that the table he held onto shook in tandem. Meanwhile, outside, the sound of the hotel owner banging on the door continued, growing louder with each passing moment. Each knock made Booster shudder even more.Observing this, someone couldn't help but suggest, "Mr. Booster, we can lead you to find the other two if you wish."Booster, suspicious, raised his head and narrowed his eyes at the person who spoke. The other person couldn't help but smirk a little before saying, "Regardless, if you die at the hands of the other two, you'll still live outside the dungeon. But if you're killed by the monster inside, you'll truly be dead."Booster widened his eyes at this revelation, and then, without hesitation, he erupted in anger."What are you talking about? Do you think I can give up all the power I've built? Impossible! We must win!"But how to win was something he couldn't articulate. In any case, he was the only one here without any combat capabilities, a
Alex was on one side, studying, trying to recall the appearance of that type of medicine. He wanted to replicate it to test it on this monster. Just then, Aegis suddenly exclaimed, "Alex, the monster is calm again!"Knowing that conventional slashes couldn't kill the creature, Aegis didn't dare to risk attacking. He quickly created a protective barrier, blocking the monster and preventing it from moving forward. However, the creature, though appearing slow, had an astonishing weight.Aegis gritted his teeth, maintaining the defensive shield. Alex glanced at him and said, "Hang in there. I'm almost done." Hearing this, Aegis could only try his best.If they were eaten by this monster, they would die. Jumping down from here would mean facing a street full of monsters with no other option but to wait for Alex.Alex began to sketch in his mind. He could only remember the shape, color, and function of that medicine, hoping it would be effective. Alex thought to himself and started
Alex looked through his body, confirming that there were no more exposed areas. He glanced at Aegis and said, "Alright, let's go outside." Aegis swallowed, then nodded.Leading the way, Alex moved forward noticeably slower than before. He needed to conserve as much energy as possible, especially since they had to wait until midnight.By then, regardless of his current stamina, it would return to its initial state.Aegis felt certain that Alex's current weakness was due to his powers. Despite feeling useless, Aegis had wanted to help but found himself waiting for Alex to rescue him again.Aegis couldn't help but bow his head and say, "I'm really useless. I wanted to come in here to help you, but all I could do was wait for you to save me."Alex sighed a little and replied, "If you hadn't blocked the monster, I might have been swallowed whole and unable to do anything. So if I don't criticize you, don't blame yourself for anything, either."Upon hearing this, Aegis widened his eyes a
At this moment, Alex and Aegis had blended into the crowd of shadows. They separated and moved back and forth in areas with the highest concentration of shadows. When Lucifer and Mason entered the steam bath, all they could see was a crowd of shadows moving about. The bright badges on them were blinding.Due to their dense arrangement, they couldn't temporarily distinguish any shadow without a badge. Lucifer spoke in a low voice, "Bring the others here."Although the map was somewhat blurry, when approaching, Lucifer could completely determine that Alex's location was in this steam bath. Mason immediately obeyed the order and left.Lucifer squinted at this chaotic crowd of shadows, also looking at his own map. He headed towards the red dot that seemed closest to him. This red dot moved in a regular pattern, which was why they couldn't see anything unusual. This map was indeed a significant help.Lucifer quickly merged into the crowd of shadows, smoothly moving closer and close
Alex and Aegis are hiding in a narrow alley in the city. Alex checks the paint on his clothes and then looks at Aegis, confirming that neither of them has revealed anything.If this were to happen and the guards appeared, they surely couldn't return to the hotel.If they dared to go back, they would likely become suspects and be apprehended. However, they still need the creature's secretion; otherwise, they won't be able to blend into the streets filled with these creatures tomorrow night.Perhaps the moment they step out, they will be surrounded and attacked by a city of monsters. Alex speaks in a low voice, "We need to go back to the hotel to get the creature's secretion."Aegis, understanding the situation quickly, nods but expresses some concern, "But the guards..."Alex shakes his head, "Act like a normal shadow, be cautious of Lucifer's team members."Those shadows without rank notes.Aegis solemnly nods, and the two of them slowly step out of the narrow alley and onto the st
Alex furrows his brow as he looks at Mason; this young man isn't bad, and his speed is quite impressive. However, in Alex's previous life, he never heard of a young man walking alongside Lucifer or creating some kind of reputation. Perhaps he kept a low profile, avoiding standing out, or maybe he died in some dungeon.However, that's not a concern for Alex at the moment. He looks down to the ground, and Lucifer and another person are getting very close. If they enter the range of his sword, they can be cut down, and that would be disastrous.Alex fires another shot towards Mason, who is flying towards Lucifer. This time, the gunshot directly hits Mason's wing. Mason jumps up immediately, releasing sharp feathers toward Alex. Aegis's shield continues to play its role.At this moment, an arrow suddenly shoots straight towards Alex.Alex opens his eyes wide, his body not responding due to exhaustion.The arrow even pierces through Aegis's shield and continues forward, finally stop
Lucifer blocked Alex's bullet and immediately continued to swing his sword forward in an attack. Alex swiftly evaded, leading their battlefield to a different location, far away from Mason and Aegis's battleground.Though Alex held a dangerous-looking gun, in reality, it only had a single bullet left. If he were to reload, he wouldn't have the strength and speed to contend with Lucifer even for a second!As they distanced themselves from Aegis, Alex suddenly halted and then launched an attack towards Lucifer. Lucifer reacted with incredible agility, immediately stopping and countering Alex's sword.The black flames on his sword suddenly surged intensely, making Alex feel like his face and sword were about to be seared. At that moment, Alex sensed a pungent smell, accompanied by heat spreading over his head.Alex instinctively widened his eyes and quickly stepped back. Despite the risk of burning his hand, he used it to pat out the flames on his head. Seizing the opportunity, Luc
