“What about her? She won’t agree to this, right?” asked Dorothy.
At the mention of Xienna, all positive feelings ceased to exist in Dorothy’s heart, and all that was left was hatred.
Xienna had suppressed her while she was in a weak state after giving birth. She gave no bother and locked her up in the corner of her consciousness like a lab rat, waiting for her to lose her memories of this life, to forget about the people she loved most.
‘What was the point of having such a past life?’
Alex told her about everything that happened in the Underworld, it was a rare chance to regain control of herself again, as long as they could break the seal. Later on, they could come up with a plan to fight Xienna.
“Don’t speak, just kiss me!”
“I need your love!” Dorothy suddenly said.
The two souls embraced and started making out, it just happened naturally.
Five minutes later, Alex let go of her. The comfort and understanding between two loving souls were indescribable. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the right place for them to act lovey-dovey, there could be danger in the outside world at any second.
“Break!”
Alex’s soul and body combined once again.
After quite a bit of grinding, the seal was finally broken. Cracks began to Spiderweb on the large flipped bowl until it finally shattered into pieces.
Alex grabbed Dorothy and took a step out.
“Uhm, there’s one thing you need to know ahead.” Alex gave an early warning. “Trialists who enter this land are deprived of their flesh… There’s only the skeleton and soul left, so don’t be afraid when you see how I look.”
Dorothy nodded.
When her soul had sunken back into her body, Dorothy felt a long lost feeling of calm. She almost felt reborn. Nonetheless, she still shuddered when she saw Alex in his skeleton state.
It took her a good while to get used to it.
“This is Xerxes, Commander Benmore’s… Ex-husband, one of the principals of Flying Eagles Academy.”
“Or should we go find Luneth and Immortal Bird?”
He turned to ask Xerxes, “Principal Lerwin, could you contact your wife?”
Xerxes nodded. “She’s already here.”
Alex fell silent. Only then did he know that Xerxes’ soul was connected to the golden boat, and he could control it from a long distance. He could even see the surroundings around the boat.
While Alex was freeing Dorothy, Xerxes had also contacted Mandy and guided the boat here.
Three minutes later, the boat was still not there. Instead, the levitating tomb arrived. It looked like a majestic mountain, and its aura was distressing.
“It’s found its way here!” Pigsy’s voice quavered.
The past dangers flashed before their eyes.
Alex subconsciously reached out for the Bodhi statue, but he was surprised to find it gone. It had become a tiny 5 foot tall monk.
