“Mom, mom…”“Mom, are you okay?”Luna and Freya didn’t run far. When she used the Windsong, Freya had reached her limit when she used the Windsong, so the attack wasn’t quite as powerful as she hoped. When they managed to escape miles away from the battlefield, the bubble had already burst.The two rushed back again, saddened to see Martiny drenched in blood.Although Martiny wasn’t Luna’s biological mother, she was still Metzli’s best friend. Since they both married Gilbert, Luna addressed Martiny as ‘mom.’ On the contrary, Luna still referred to Claudie as her aunt since she didn’t feel close to her at all. To Luna, Claudie was no match for Martiny, as Martiny felt more like a mother to her.“Alex, how’s my mom?”“Come on, say something! Don’t scare me!”“Save her, please!”Alex closed his eyes, thinking about how he could heal the severely wounded Martiny. Put in a difficult spot, he was still trying to figure out the best approach in a difficult spot.At the time, Xerxes
Neela dragged Alex aside. “Sir, Luna is your wife, which makes her my master. Her mother is dying as we speak. Since I’ll be merely sacrificing one vein to save her, I think it’s worth the shot.”“But, that’d be too cruel to you…” Alex was heartbroken.“I’m willing to do anything for you, Sir.” Neela smiled.Saddened, Alex caressed her soft cheek with one hand. “Neela, ever since you’ve followed me, you’ve only been suffering. You’ve never had any happiness or peace. You don’t owe me anything, but I do owe you a lot.”Neela shook her head. “Sir, my greatest happiness comes from being by your side. Even though I am just your servant, you care for me. And for that, I am content enough!”“Besides, we Benares Dragons can regrow our veins within a hundred years. So, please take it out for me, Sir!”Alex’s heart shuddered, embracing Neela softly.Being a descendent of the ancient Benares Dragon tribe, Neela was actually far older than Alex. She was royalty as well, viewed as the queen
“She… What is happening to her?”Luna and Freya leaned against each other. They were initially holding Neela, but the dragon was in a rather odd condition. Behind her was a large phantom of a Benares Dragon, yet Neela herself floated in mid-air, curled up in a fetal position… it was as if she had turned back into an ancient dragon egg.“Shush, don’t disturb her. She must be meditating,” Xerxes replied.On the other hand, Alex hadn’t stopped one bit as Martiny’s wounds weren’t completely healed. The dragon vein was still merging with her body at the time.However, he could sense an ancient aura coming from Martiny’s blood. The sealed mark within her bloodline was activated by inserting the dragon vein.“An Ancestor Dragon?” Alex was somewhat shocked but figured it somehow made sense in the end.He had entered the Spiritual Realm of Dragons after all and even saw the Dragon Tomb Mountain himself. Moreover, Martiny was the current head of the Exorcist Dragons. Hence, he knew tha
At the time, Martiny was regaining consciousness too. Her aura was no longer the same as before, as the Chi within her had become rather mysterious and powerful. She, too, was also quite shocked after noticing the changes in her own body.After taking some rest, she walked over to Alex and said, “Thank you for saving my life, Alex. I…”Alex immediately interrupted her and waved his hands back and forth. “Mrs. Mayer, we’re on the same team now. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”Luna held Alex’s arm. “Mmhmm! Mom, you’re my mother, so he’s kind of like half a son to you too. You can request anything from him.”At this point, Luna decided that she didn’t need to hide anything, especially after having walked over Persephone’s Folly Bridge.Freya spoke up. “Sis, didn’t you just say that you didn’t have that kind of relationship with Alex? Why are you saying that he’s now half a son to Mom?”Luna replied, “I realize now that I’m in love with him, okay?”“Stop hiding it, sis. You
With that, seven figures appeared in front of the group while the sound of footsteps echoed in the halls.They all wore the same clothes and carried identical swords, just like the Silencing Sword Sect’s dead disciple.Seeing these people, Butcher’s expressions instantly perked up… He was the one who held them back, giving Channing and the others a chance to escape, including his lover. After fighting for a while, the Silencing Sword Sect members must’ve thought he was dead and chased after the rest. ‘These people are back, but where’s Bunty and the others?’He started panicking and questioned, “Where are our comrades? What did you do to them?”The red-haired teen noticed Butcher and was shocked. Being the leader of the sect, he spoke up first. “Holy sh*t! How is this pillock not dead yet?”“Boss, isn’t it better that he’s alive?” another chimed in. “We need quite a lot of blood from these Wasteland junk. This guy is huge, so we can definitely squeeze a lot of blood out of him
The old man was utterly speechless. ‘To think that a sect would forget their ancestors… beyond redemption.’Martiny was worried for the safety of Gilbert and the others. “Where’s my husband? What did you do to them?” she snapped coldly.“Your husband? Oh, that man is your partner?” Ron looked at Martiny lustfully. He felt the itch of desire in his heart, that powerful urge of carrying her away right now and making out with her.“Then I’d have to congratulate you. Your former husband is dead, and I will soon be your new husband. Rest assured, I’ll give you lots of love. I won’t let you feel lonely.”“Do you have a death wish?” Furious, Martiny charged over immediately, ready to fight with her life.Alex quickly moved over and pulled her to a stop. “Aunt Mayer, let me handle these bastards. I’m very skilled at killing them.”Even though Martiny had become a Dragon Whisperer, she had just had her veins altered. If she attacked forcefully now, it wouldn’t be good for her body.“You’
“What?”“He died… just like that?”Xerxes and the others weren’t too surprised, mainly because they didn’t understand the background of these outsiders. The few sect members, however, had their eyes widened, wondering if they were dreaming.They couldn’t believe that this kid from the Wastelands could… dodge his attacks. They viewed him as a mere weakling, who hadn’t even achieved Nascent Soul, unworthy of even cleaning their shoes. Yet, he had dodged the attack of Azareal, their eighth sworn brother, and beheaded him so swiftly. ‘This can’t be real.’‘How could these natives possibly wield such powers?!’They coincidentally rubbed their eyes simultaneously as they tried to get a better view. The result was still the same, though—Azreal was truly dead.Alex said slowly, “Are you all surprised enough? Wondering why wasteland natives could kill you outsiders so easily? That’s because you are all outdated and uninformed!”“What a bunch of arrogant fools, coming to our earth,
Xerxes turned back to see that punk still standing in the same place.He was having a rough time on his own, barely dodging incoming attacks. “Alex, you fool! What are you doing? Come on and fight!” he shouted.“You hold on for a little while more. I’m still getting my attack ready.”“D*mn it! You’re such a hindrance!”“Uncle, let me help you!” Luna called out and activated the Sky-Devil Zither. She strummed the instrument, and its deadly tunes charged into the warzone.Soon, Martiny and Jocelyn joined in too. Even though they weren’t very strong, they could help Xerxes draw some flak. Yet, they were hardly any help. “Brother, this guy’s flag is so strong; it’s definitely a rare treasure. We have to take it.”“I can tell that his breath is getting heavy, and his powers are weakening. He can’t hold the flag any longer.”Xerxes was indeed tired of waving the flag. He was so exhausted his mouth foamed. “Hey Alex, speed it up, will you! Go strike that power move! I’m worn out,” he
