“No, you didn’t!”
“The Underworld is his territory. It’s only normal for you to be trapped, especially since you haven’t recovered completely. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Alex comforted the dragon, then used his divine eye to check on her condition as well. She suffered no major injuries, save for fatigue and scratches from fighting the law power cast on her.
Alex then used a healing spell, combining divine power and The Ultimate Book of Medicine. This spell was quite effective, healing all injuries in a split second. Neela even looked energized after that.
“Anna!” Alex turned to the woman.
Anna immediately leaped into his arms, embracing him tightly.
“Master!” Anna cried, agitated. It was as if she were Rapunzel who had found her prince once again.
Alex didn’t have the time to have a proper conversation with her back at the Pool of Afterlife. Now that they were on Earth and were close to home, she naturally felt calmer.
“You must’ve been through a lot. I’ll be bringing you home soon. Your parents will be delighted to see you.”
Alex said with a smile. He would be excited to see their reactions when Anna returned to the Colemans of Michigan.

They weren’t far from Daya and the others.
Although the contract between Alex and Mystic Maiden had expired, their souls were still somewhat connected. Being able to sense Alex’s arrival, Mystic Maiden immediately brought the others to welcome him back.
The sky was still dark, and the meat wasn’t even wholly roasted yet. It was as if only a few minutes had passed. Everyone was relieved to see Alex return so quickly…
Shirley and the others were familiar with Neela, but they didn’t know who Anna was. This was the first time they had ever met. However, they were close to each other’s age, and it wasn’t hard for the young to get familiar with each other, especially while having food.
They even noticed some famous faces within the queue.
“Huh? Isn’t that… The Hollywood star, Timaeus Cruise?”
Shirley stared at one of the people standing in line, eyes widened with shock She seemed to turn into an instant fangirl.
Timaeus seemed to be sitting politely on a stool while being in the middle of the line. He was talking to another person at the time.
Alex took a good look at the other person and was surprised as well. “Oh my god. Is that Ronaldo? The famous footballer?”
Back when he was still studying, Alex loved playing football. Ronaldo happened to be his idol at the time too.
The only difference was that Alex was significantly stronger and impactful now.
