Alex was surprised. The sudden encounter was too shocking. He was just in the midst of the Endless Sea, and in the blink of an eye… He was back with the Pixies.
‘So this means I’m just less than two days away from America.’
To think that they had been in the Endless Sea for almost half a month. Yet, according to that shark, they had at least another two-thirds of the journey left.
‘This… This was a shortcut between the wasteland and America.’
“Uhm… The Mystic Maiden, Ynes, and the others are still in the Endless Sea!”
As Alex regained his calm from the shock, he soon felt troubled by the current situation. He had accidentally stepped into an ancient area while fighting the Undead beasts.
He was confused back then, as millions of beasts surrounded him at the time, and there was no exit. However, something weird occurred during the incident. It was as if a mystical force stopped the beasts in their tracks, keeping them at a distance. He was in a critical situation back then, attracting quite a few large enemies. If he hadn’t been careful, he would’ve been killed.
‘That Mystic Maiden is such a nuisance and trouble!’ Alex couldn’t help thinking.
At that urgent moment, he could only rush to that place where the beasts seemed to avoid. To his surprise, it had been a tunnel that brought him where he was now. Fortunately, no beasts followed him.
‘Hmm… This looks like a wormhole!’ Alex thought as he grabbed some healing pills from the storage ring.
He then took out some Heavenly Law Fruit and gobbled them up. He had been hurt badly in the fight just now, especially by those two giant beasts. They were crab demons. Their huge claws were so powerful they almost broke Alex’s waist. His chest was punctured twice as well, hurting the side of his heart.
If he hadn’t sealed his veins with mystic art, blocked his wounds with Chi, and continuously performed the Art of Zharvakko, he would’ve been dead by now.
Ynes was right. The forces of Buddhism were a killer tool against the demon beasts. He had relied on Ksitigarbha’s legacy along the way. Now, he could even invent new skills on such a foundation. So he combined the divine power with the Dragon-Tusk Punch and named it Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk.
On the other hand, killing the demon beasts gave him another benefit, as he could collect a large amount of divine power. The golden lake in his body was overflowing. The divine power he currently possessed was immeasurable, the lake becoming a golden sea.
Therefore, he used a great amount of divine powers on the Requiem Clock, repairing it and making it more powerful.
“Yo, Alex!”
As Alex was healing his wounds, someone spoke. It was the tool spirit of Persephone’s Folly Bridge, the black-hearted girl.
