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
In the meeting room of the authorities, everyone appeared in virtual reality images. Vanessa smiled and said lightly, "It seems that our new colleague has arrived. Surprisingly, he's a 17-year-old boy."Pausing for a moment, she licked her lips and smiled with a hint of playfulness, "But not bad-looking a rather cute appearance."Michael couldn't help but glance at her, his voice emotionless, "You should keep those thoughts to yourself."Vanessa chuckled, "I was just thinking, I can't travel from the Shadow Realm to Mystica just to flirt with him. Besides, the mist in the dangerous borders is thick. Or are you jealous, Michael?"Michael didn't say a word, but the emotionless expression on his face made it clear that there was no jealousy here.People always say he's an emotionless person, and that's not entirely wrong.At this moment, Moon suddenly spoke up, "How do you all assess Alex's strength?"Michael casually spoke, "It's challenging to determine the type of ability, but it's l
"If you remain silent, I won't proceed to the Mystica Tower anymore," Alex threatened.Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the book glowed slightly as if expressing dissatisfaction. Alex paid no attention to it. Finally, as if with no other choice, the book suddenly emitted a intense light, and when Alex opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the space of the book.The book showed signs of discontent, but Alex ignored it and asked again, "So, what is your purpose? Why do you want me to obtain the Mystica Tower key, and what is inside the Mystica Tower?"A line of text suddenly appeared above the book: "[You are the one I chose, that's why you were resurrected.]"Alex raised an eyebrow slightly at this, but he didn't feel much beyond surprise. He knew there was no free lunch in this world, and this book appearing and blessing him was not a natural occurrence.Remaining calm, he nodded and asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"Another line of text appeared: "[Help Lucife
