The withered soul looked at Alex with eyes full of astonishment.Alex couldn't see his face, but his intense gaze still caught his attention. Unable to help himself, Alex glanced at him and asked, "What's up?"The withered soul remained silent for a while before saying, "Have you absorbed the energy of the nascent Mystica region?"Alex was slightly surprised, "How do you know?"The withered soul spoke in a gentle tone, "Just a feeling."The two conversed for a while before increasing their speed and ascending the spiral structure. The withered soul, at this point, wasn't entirely human; his speed was exceptionally fast.With no one else around, Alex could freely use his powers, and his speed increased even more with the help of the wind.However, as they moved farther, the spiral structure became steeper and the path narrower, significantly affecting their speed.Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, the other dignitary had also appeared. Her appearance was unchanged from earlier. She w
Curtis's group struggled to extinguish the flames, but the fire was too intense and too large, even burning on the ground they created. This was not a normal fire that could be put out with soil!From above, Alex and the withered soul could witness the chaotic battle below. Lucifer was fighting against the Phoenix while Curtis's group dealt with the other bird-like creatures. The only fortunate aspect was that Alex and the withered soul had not been discovered yet.However, the situation in the battle did not seem favorable for them. Although Lucifer's flames were indeed stronger than the Phoenix's, the Phoenix possessed greater power and controlled the fire more skillfully.In the end, she was also a mythical creature, not a being that Lucifer could easily defeat. If the battle continued in this manner, Lucifer would undoubtedly lose quickly.Alex's expression turned serious, and he increased his speed recklessly.Below, the Phoenix flapped her wings, and a large fire immediatel
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
Alex used almost all his strength to crawl towards the water. However, suddenly, his space vibrated, causing him to roll to the side. The distance between him and the water increased a bit. Alex slightly opened his eyes but didn't have time to ponder. He continued desperately crawling towards the water. If such a significant disturbance occurred, the only answer might be that the wraith was on the verge of being defeated by the Phoenix. In that case, he would soon be expelled from the space.With that thought, Alex's forward crawling speed increased a bit more. Notably, when Alex reached the water's edge, there was no further shaking in his space. Alex couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Perhaps the wraith had found assistance; at least, for now, Alex wouldn't be expelled from the space.Feeling reassured, Alex took a moment to rest, then, without hesitation, he jumped into the water, becoming unconscious inside it.Meanwhile, the battle outside continued. There's no de
"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
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?
