If these demons hadn’t kept their beast forms, many would’ve thought that humans still ruled the area.In mere moments, they drew close to the group of tied-up humans.Now that they were closer, the two were able to recognize them. They were, in fact, the people who stayed at the Death Inn. There were quite a lot of them, eighteen to be exact.However, these people looked pathetic. They were all decorated with colored ribbons, and some had even lost their limbs. These people were just different animals to those demons, just like how humans treated pigs as livestock. The roles had merely reversed here.More importantly, they lacked the strength to defend themselves.Smack!Slapped by a demon, a young teen tumbled over. After that, the demon punched and kicked him. “What the hell? Who gave you permission to pee where ever you want? Do you think this is the toilet? Get up and lick the floor clean, or we will eat you right now!”The teen was devastated. At this point, he had lost
Boom! Boom! Boom!The light-golden-colored phoenix scorpion looked like it was made out of gold. As large and tough as an adult buffalo, its two massive pincers looked like excavator buckets.Alex and Maximilia kept running as the scorpion continued to chase after them, destroying everything in this way. Those ivory buildings seemed like tofu in the face of the golden phoenix scorpion.Such a large commotion had undoubtedly caught the attention of many demons, drowning the street in utter chaos. “After them!”“I call dibs on that woman. I want her to bear my children!”“Get lost. She’s mine.”“I’ll fight you!”“Bring it on. The winner gets to have her, and the loser has to f*ck off!”If Maximilia knew that two ugly demons were fighting to mate with her, she would’ve likely put up an interesting expression.Those captured after going through the death’s door saw this as well.Some yelled at the teen from before, and some were filled with despair, all hoping to die together.
“That would be enough.” Maximilia said and took a deep breath. She raised her sword and entered the formation again.Although she was Maximilia at the time, she was Jade in all but looks. She was resolute and refused to be sluggish for the slightest second. With a blade in each hand, she rushed in, slashing every single demon as harshly as she could.“Ahhh!!! Why would there be a formation here? How could the strategist’s formation be used against his own people?”“That scholar… That scholar is a formation master! Kill him, kill him!”The demons started yelling in rage, but they couldn’t do anything now that they were within the formation. Restricted, their fighting skills were obsolete. They could only watch as Maximilia sliced them up. “You’re dead, humans!”“Every human who trespasses into Kroraina has to die!”As the demons shrieked, the golden phoenix scorpion continued hitting the boundary with its body as if it had gone crazy. Since Alex needed the eggs of this scorpio
Maximilia exerted herself with brute force, and Alex was unable to resist. When she started smashing her lips into his, Alex was helpless. Without the strength to do anything about it, he decided he should simply enjoy the moment to the fullest.Alex didn’t know if this was justifiable, but his body reacted very honestly. His mind was so foggy that he didn’t even think for a second that Maximilia’s saliva had been tainted with the scorpion’s poison as well.At one point, the two were so drowned in lust it was hard to tell who was taking the lead. Basically, this little ‘session’ lasted a very long time.Even the fake moon seemed to have become shy as it set at a seemingly earlier than usual.In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright once more. Alex and Maximilia were currently lying on the floor, unable to move an inch.“Maximilia, it hurts!” Alex said. “You don’t have to say it out loud. I’m in pain too!” Maximilia narrowed her eyes, wanting to turn to the side. However, she f
Alex embraced and kissed her deeply. She wasn’t Maximilia now. She was Jade herself.Whoosh—Maximilia’s body started falling apart. As if she were porcelain, her body slowly shattered into small pieces. She was smiling, with a faint layer of red on her cheeks. She stared at Alex as her life was put to a halt… Alex watched as Maximilia vanished into thin air. Pieces of her fell down like petals, crumbling into dust. The sight saddened him quite a bit.Suddenly, a ray of white light shone onto him. It would seem that he had to leave this illusionary realm as well.“No way.“I got the eggs. Should I hand it to the woman in the painting?“I’d still like to find Ynes’ ancestors! Hey…”However, the light didn’t care about his wishes. It opened up a portal and separated Alex’s soul from his current body. His soul was then sent through space, reaching the second step with the white light.Whoosh—Alex found himself back in his own body.He then moved around, turning to look behind
There weren’t any wrong ways to go up a step. Besides, Gilbert had walked in a very standard posture.Lorelei’s assumption was spot on. The Heavenly Stairs was, in fact, broken.The ax within Alex’s consciousness was the thing that broke open the boundary by force. It had rushed up to the top as if summoning something from within. But, due to Xienna’s sudden appearance, she disrupted its path, causing it to fail. In reality, it malfunctioned when Alex and Jade were on the first step, resulting in their inability to ascend the second step.Basically, the core of the entire Heavenly Stairs was damaged.The current Heavenly Stairs could no longer generate mental domain challenges, so it was no different than regular stairs. That’s how Alex was able to run up all nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps with ease.‘Close!’‘I’m getting closer!’Alex was now able to see the end of the stairs.There was a tall mountain floating in the air—it looked like the legendary Bright
The chariot carrying the queen moved slowly towards him, pulled by ten Undead white horses. The horses had red-orangish flames coming out of their heads; their bodies adorned with a full suit of shining armor. This made them look very powerful.Alex wasn’t scared. He knew that this was just a mere illusion. ‘I have nothing to be afraid of. I’ll just fail my mission at most.’‘But…’The chariot stopped a hundred meters away from him. The queen’s eyes looked very mysterious as she stared at him. “We meet again, seed.”Alex was stunned, he thought. ‘This illusionary realm is quite impressive. The Undead Queen even knows about me being the seed. Truly impressive.’The queen smiled sweetly. “Do you think this is an illusionary realm? And that this is all just an illusion?”Alex froze. “Is it not?”The queen chuckled. “The buildings and floating mountain you just saw was the true illusion. I have been waiting here for a very long time to meet you again, seed.”‘What?’Alex was dum
"Frostine, Frostine!" "How are you doing?" Two Undead Kings dragged Frostine. Her clothes torn and tattered, her hair disheveled, and her body still covered in blood, it gave her the appearance of a long-term prisoner. She didn't say anything. Alex, on the other hand, could see that she was still alive, albeit unconscious. Remembering how Frostine defended herself and treated her, Alex's eyes were red, and he felt his heart ache. "What did you guys do to her?" "It's not really about what happened, but what's going to happen to her if you anger me again," the Undead Queen explained. "Undead Queen, you are at least an Undying Clan king, but you employed a method as despicable as kidnapping. Aren’t you ashamed?" Alex roared. The Undead Queen burst out laughing. "You don't have to provoke me, Alex! In the eyes of you humans, my Undying Clan has always been a bad thing. Do you think I care about my reputation? What difference does it make if I'm a b*tch? Are you ready to b
