Danseru screamed in pain.

Danseru screamed in pain.
Next to him was Butcher. He had already taken out his ax to cut the Forerunner’s body in half.
Alex then reminded them, “I remember now! You have to chop off a Forerunner’s head to kill it completely.”
Butcher lifted his ax and chopped the head off.
Shift!
Danseur took his pants off and noticed that his wound had blackened. Shocked, he exclaimed, “It’s poison. Oh sh*t, I won’t become one of the Shura’s death army, right?”
Everyone looked extremely gloomy. Alex then formed a talisman in his hand and jumped into the Zharvakko formation circle he just made.
Shing!
Rays of red light glistened as a formation circle with talismans floating around formed on the ground.
Alex said, “Don’t worry, just stand in here, and you’ll be better in a bit.”
Danseur hopped into the circle immediately.
At the same time, Alex felt as if flows of wishing power were being inserted into his body. Not just one, but ten.
That meant that everyone except Snow had given Alex some wishing power.
In just a few moments, a puff of black smoke came out of Danseur’s wound as it healed at an extremely rapid pace.
Danseur slapped the dust off his behind gently. “Oh man, it healed!”
He then laughed and gave Alex a thumbs up. “You’re amazing, bro! It’s nice to have a doctor on the team. I ain’t gonna be scared of getting hurt anymore.”
Just then, the situation in the palace escalated. That last cry that Forerunner let out seemed to be a signal. In just a few moments, heavy and rapid footsteps emerged from the depths of the palace.
There seemed to be numerous Forerunners lunging towards them from the turning point.
However, their killing speed started slowing down, and there were different types of Forerunners with varying strengths. The precious ones only required one attack to chop off their head. Yet, now, they needed to swing their swords twice to do so.
“This is bad. We’re going to be exhausted!” Fairy Doctor moaned.
Not only were the others out of strength but Alex was getting drained out as well. Since he was the “weakest,” he was basically… the one they had to protect. Moreover, the entrance wasn’t big enough for the whole team, and he didn’t even get the chance to slay any of these beasts.
However, maintaining the Zharvakko talisman formation was draining him faster than everyone else. If he didn’t receive that gift from the Pindola, he would’ve fainted by now.
It was fortunate that these people could still help increase his divine power despite fighting off the enemies.
Nora said, “Would killing them accidentally produce extremely powerful Forerunners?”
Alex, on the other hand, noticed some energy flowing underneath the palace. Upon further inspection, he realized that this place was just one big formation circle.
He rushed to observe it and yelled back to the team, “I have an idea! This place is a big formation circle and the spiritual ice stones are the source of its power! This palace is a Forerunner hatchery! We can use its power to blow up both the formation and this palace itself!”
